Armenia to win!
By the way, why was there no mention here on ESCTODAY of the Nordic Song Contest for kids that was held in Oslo recently? Censorship?
jESC will continue because there are enough number of broadcasters who are willing to patricipate.
Yes,it's true that the number of participants won't reach to the ESC but after an ESC even with xillion countries participating it's cute to have contests with only 17-18 participants like jESC and EDC.
bla bla bla..... they partisepate out of there own free will,
so stop naging and moaning about it
i realy like Ukraine, FYR Macedonia,Romania, The Netherlands, Armenia, and Sweden
the song that could win the whole edition: Ukraine or FYR Macedonia
I won't be watching this. It should be discontinued. All those poor children are just being abused. The Nordic countries did the right thing when they pulled out and made their own, FRIENDLY version of the Junior Grand Prix.
sweden to win!!
