Italy and Slovenia confirmed their participation in 2018

Both Egypt and Guyana haven't time for competing in previous contests. But I believe that maybe at least Turkey will have time now.

Maybe Australia, Estonia and Spain will return too

I still waiting for an day when @NatsutoFuyu will decided to compete in TISC, after ages.

Seconds will be decided about this who as first will enter with song as I already have selected song

Looks like we will be relegated to European/African Zone II

@bestmen wasn't first here, lol

New video from me

Aaaand I missed to predict today semifinal between Spain and Slovenia

@Gianlu33 But since Italy comeback to the contest, most of your entries had good results, especially in 2015 and in this year. @bestmen Yes, it really happened, I saw this in TV, when I watched the final, it happened during interval act when Jamala sang her new song. @Werloc Yes, they thanked for everything, because their public broadcaster was shut down after Grand Final of this contest, but their new public broadcaster send application to EBU that they want join to this, but process of application is long and by this EBU and new Israeli television signed a temporary agreement that will allow them to participation in next year. But if Israel will not compete in next year it opens the doors of Middle East and African nations which are among EBU members that can compete in the contest, it's reason why I added Moroccan flag. Sole Moroccan entry was when Israel was missing by some reason. And we all know good that Arabic nations don't want compete in anything and anywhere when Israel is there. About Bulgaria, their public broadcaster have new general director which have to choosen if he will want see Bulgaria in the contest. It looks that once again Bosnia will not compete due to financial reasons...

Italy can't miss Eurovision And we still don't have official news about Russia, unlike you have an source with confirmation.

With just few days left to deadline we don't have any or at least official news about participation from following countries:

Croatia and United Kingdom confirmed their participation

And Jelena isnt pusher? Even if isnt she should have won at least one GS as she was #1. Slamless former number 1 looks awful...

Slovakia will not compete in 2018 contest too

And before Pliskova, Konta, Cibulkova and even Jankovic who was number 1 in ranking without winning GS! Why you didn't mention about them?

Big congrats to Sloane for winning her first Grand Slam title, she now will be 17th in ranking, while five weeks ago she was on 958th place, and half year ago she had to use wheelchair

Congrats Kevin! Nice to see new names in Grand Slam final and he finally break his GS curse

I would want see this aurora too, but is one problem, clouds I'm not too sure about this, but maybe by this geomagnetic storm are those very big hurricanes in Americas? It isn't normal at all to have 3-4 monster hurricanes in the same time.

Everyone are talking about those hurricanes and earthquake, while in the same time in whole Poland we can observe aurora right now It's very rare here and especially when is summer.

Greece plays too good today, congrats for this team and good luck against Lithuania. We can't play good without Slaughter
