let me take Guam and I will send an original unknown singer named Pia Mia!!1!111

Guadeloupe and Martinique have a higher population than some of the sovereign nations. I think they could be included...

[Jean-Pascal]

Aruba, Sint Maarten and Curaçao should definetly be considered since they are basically independent countries under Dutch sovereignty, same as Guadeloupe, Martinique and Saint Martin, under French sovereignty and despite full representation in French parliament but have their own national identity

Bermuda is also quite a big island so they could have some potential, also since they are basically independent and have their own currency etc, except are under British sovereignty. Same as US Virgin Islands, which has a few famous singers in USA I think

I have no idea where else could make good, maybe places like Cayman Islands, Virgin Islands (British), Turks and Caicos Islands and Anguilla could be considered because they have big diasporas in the UK and relatively stable native populations with a national identity apart from their British sovereignty but maybe they wouldn't be big or realistic enough.

However, countries such as Montserrat (ik I wrote them above but I meant to write in Anguilla above), Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon and  Saint-Barthélemy/Saint Barts wouldn't work well enough, although maybe they could have good songs

Bermuda definitely has a music industry - there's even an artist I love from Bermuda so tbh I would consider it lolo

[EtCetera]

I think we shouldn'tget too far with that "adding countries" topic. I, for instance, could imagine some sort of "no root"-singer. Basicly this would mean that only singer who are born there can be send. In that case most of these countries would stay untouched, just like Palau for instance in Asia.

I cant consider those terretories as "necessary" but this discussion is really pissn' me off

Big island? From all the territories and dependencies you mentioned, only Sint Maarten and Saint Barthélemy are smaller However it's true Bermuda has more population than some of them (even more than Greenland).

[MG]

I didn't know Bermuda has music the question is ... how to find it then

[Gilberto]

In my opinion, no more countries should be added. The contest would stop being realistic

For example, if you include the independent Dutch countries, there'd be a big opening where Dutch singers with random connections to those islands would be able to participate.

Once again, just my opinion
