Not when we enter Junior Eurovision (since TG4 is organizing it) yeah, I'm so excited by that  and it's the 2nd time in Eurovision history a song is fully sung in Irish. And it'll be the third Eurovision song with any Irish if you count Norway's entry in 1973 - (if you listen closely, you can hear one of them say 'come mo chuisle' at 2:42. Though I think he pronounced it wrong.) |

Oh, there's one thing I forgot to include -
Can the EBU please stop leaving the order of songs up to the producers?
It hasn't done anything to make the show more entertaining, and it really raises question marks (how did so many ballads get shoved to the end of the final?). Can we please go back to simply drawing lots?

None, absolutely none. It's fine as it is but IF something must be changed, it's the way the running order is decided, but NOTHING else.
And please, people STOP getting butthurt about the big 5, if you want Eurovision to exist, they ARE needed, and the autoqualification is the least that can be done in order to reward them..

I've choose the Big 5 and the own language.
About the big 5, I know they are pretty much keeping the fundations for Eurovision and yeah, they need to be rewarded for that, but the main problem in here is how they do in the finals even though they're safe from the semis.
Take this year for example. Out of top 5 (Plus the host and the guest), only Italy and Australia got the biggest scorage and made their place on the left side. What about the rest of them? Germany and the host, Austria, got both 0 points. Imagine how they would have done in the semis in the same way like in the finals - more than half of them wouldn't even pass. (Now, don't take this too seriously, it's just a based opinion of mine.)
And as everyone might know, I usually love the diversity, no matter the language, the song or the performer. I'm sick and tired all the times to see more than half of the countries going for english, because (according to some flops) it's the most popular language, it has success, it won a lot of ESC years previously and stuff. The national languages can be succesful and more emotional too in other comparison with english entries which can be forgotten easily (Just to give some examples: Volare, Dansevise, A-Ba-Ni-Bi, Lane Moje, Sanomi, Molitva, and so on), and it's also gaining respect among the other fans for singing in its old goddamn native tongue. Last time when it won a song on its mother tongue was like 8 years ago, and it's sad, since every country should be proud with their language anywhere, anytime.
Now pls don't attack me with rude comments after this post pls pls pls. ;-;

There are a lot of people from the UK who think being in the big 5 is a disadvantage because they perform their songs live once. Don't they realize that everyone else qualified from the semis and therefore already have a certain amount of support? |

I voted for "nothing". The only thing here which could attract me is the language rule - I really like it if people sing in their native language - but it's also not that important for me tbh. Honestly I don't see any reason why the big 5 should be removed for exactly the same reason αndreas said above. Plus also the juries shouldn't be removed. The live orchestra is not really "modern" anymore nowadays and the rest would be just a bit ... weird to me. |

The live orchestra should return. I think all points should be said as well but oh well that would make the show really long.  I think the Big 5 should be removed as well... I mean in several years Big 5 countries were around the bottom 5 places and I think this would feel more as a shame being towards them then an opportunity. I think the age limit should be also removed but then the Junior Eurovision Song Contest might get less interest... I voted for re-introducing the live orchestra and removing the Big 5.  You do know that the UK spends millions on the Eurovision and we still do this after failing every year. I think we deserve to be an AQ ... |

Pls if the UK had to go through the semis then the UK would just leave after 5 editions because we'd never qualify... Like I mean never because the bbc are a bunch of people who don't know modern music. |

I voted for "Get rid of Juries" and "It's fine as it is" because the juries should be removed as they don't represent half of a country imo but everything else is fine imo  |

I voted for big 5, but not because I'm butthurt about their autoqualification, but if they were in the semis, they would possibly do a whole lot better and maybe focus a bit more on choosing good songs too *cough*UK*cough* But it's fine as is, still. I don't want the native language rule, I think everyone should be able to sing in the language they want to sing in, and in all NS' there is still native language songs, it's not Eurovision's fault that they don't get chosen  |

and it's the 2nd time in Eurovision history a song is fully sung in Irish.
