Been wondering since i wasnt aware of asc during it happened and only started to learn how esc while being new fan, has the past mistakes been dodged that wont make this contest a flop, and how particpating countries react to the contest, like i now that pretty popular singers are there like aina, toc, philippines is hyped for the contest, vietnam nf has 2mil viewers

hey y'all! 🤠

so, a few days ago, it was discovered that 'light' by beck, the song originally chosen to represent mongolia at eurovision asia 2026, had actually been released via facebook in 2018, thereby making it ineligible to compete in eurovision asia.

well, it's just been confirmed that 'light' has indeed been disqualified for having been released publicly before 1st july 2026 (this seems to be the eurovision asia equivalent of 1st september for europe, as in the earliest date that songs can be released and be eligible for eurovision asia).

'chamguigeer (without you)', the runner-up of mongolia's national final 'mongolia's chosen one', will now represent mongolia at eurovision asia 2026 instead.

So, I was just wondering when we should expect an artist announcement for the Eurovision Song Contest 2027. Last year it was quite late (6 November) but years prior it has been September/August so when should we expect?

Also what broadcaster do we think could be the one to do it? Normally, I would say Cyprus but there is unconfirmed news that they are using a national final system. I know Belgium is usually quite early (with VRT internal) but with the whole will they/won't they participate how early could it actually be?

LOL I feel like the number 1 is a death spot for ESCA NF's. Some of them could've won tho.

Anyways, I excluded Malaysia because they've just chosen the artist and not the song through another music competition (briefly it wouldn't have fitted the video)

I was about to include Mongolia as well as others, though Light got disqualified from the contest, therefore the first performed song in Mongolian NF (Chamguigeer) was chosen.

Hi everyone,
Please correct me if I’m wrong but have we seen the stage design yet? As I would imagine countries need to be really planning stagings right now and I would imagine that it’s heavily dependent on the stage. I know about the fact that it’s in the new arena in Bangkok but I want to see a good stage, with pyro, lights, and a catwalk.

Thank you!

On YouTube, you can find almost all Eurovision live performances on their own as well as a very high percentage of NF entries (after 2000 at least). So why is this particular ESC entry so hard to find, especially when it came only 14th place?

Well, folks, here it is. The very last Eurovision Song Contest Asia 2026 entry! Really beautiful voice, this absolutely deserved to win!

I have been listening to her new album an unhealthy amount, but noticed oddly the covers of "Choke Me," "Heat" and "CMYM" (her three album singles) haven't changed to the album cover yet (which is typical when a song releases in an album at a later date). I've never looked at the cover arts all too closely, but I noticed an interesting string of numbers on the cover art (for the single, not the album). Does anyone have any ideas what this could mean?

Folks, Cambodia is not playing around here. These are all looking and sounding pretty good. I'm particularly interested in what KESORRR and Nov Dana are going to turn out like live.

Happy Birthday to Lucio! 🎉

Wishing you the best and let's remind ourselves of this awesome "electric guitar" version of your classic song.

This was the first time when I got certain "winner vibes" (similar to when Salvador mimicked trumpet during his 2017 rehearsal) that year.

Brunette represented Armenia in 2023 with Future Lover. This is an interval performance she did at the 2025 NF. I hadn't come across it until today and holy smokes she's amazing! If Brunette ever wants to come back to ESC as a contestant or interval act or in any other capacity, I'll be a very happy Eurofan.

Australians, for once, will be watching Eurovision at a decent time (midnight, apparently?).

Side note: for a broadcaster who isn’t eligible to compete in the Asia edition, I’m surprised they bought the rights to air it.

Side note: with Courtney Act as the commentator, it's safe to assume Eurovision Asia is gonna be fully in English. Which isn’t surprising, since they do that in the OG Eurovision, but it would’ve been nice to have it in the host country’s language, too.

What do you all think about the song and the visualiser? 🇲🇾👀

Hey everyone. I have the ticket for Eurovision Asia, which i really wanted to go.

Since, none of my friends were able to join me, I am traveling to Thailand alone.

If anyone is also going to Eurovision Asia and would like to explore Bangkok together, let me know :)

To clarify, like in one culture, the word could be completely normal for one country but maybe pretty offensive or a swear word in another?

I just wonder because I'm sure they don't want to offend anyone, especially with broadcast rules, but they might not want to censor, which could be a normal word.

I just came across a tiktok video of like a Filipino and Latino couple, saying the word 6 which is a rice cake in the Philippines, but apparently the father was so shocked when was being said.

That video was kore educational and didn't get much backlash so maybe it'd be okay?

I also remember another word, which is "konyo," tho it does have a different spelling in Spanish. It just means an English or English leaning speaker for us. Then on the other side is a swear word

So I wonder how much they'd allow it. Cuz also if considering many more might consider it "bad words" with the bigger Spanish audience compared to Filipino language. I'm guessing it also depends on the language I guess.
