    Oh, you mean, the top 5 populated? I never knew that. That is pretty ridiculous alright.

    It's not because they are the 5 most populated countries, it's because they provide most of the funding for the shindig.

    Why don't Spain just send some Regueton act? It would win because Spanish music is sort of mainstream, that mix of EDM and you have a winner.

    How is this celebrating diversity???

    Diversity of sexual orientation but definitely not race. I don't remember seeing one black performer.

    Nobody cares about Brexit. Most people on the mainland are obsessed with British culture.

    Automatically putting the top 5 into the final. They should be forced to qualify like the rest of the countries.

    Then they wouldn't contribute and there would be no show.

    YES!!!!

    Public votes will be combined and added to each country one by one so it can change dramatically.

    Yep - all the televoting gets added on at the end. Last year it made a mockery of the jury voting.
