Goodnight Vienna!


It's a sad day indeed now Austria have chosen to say goodnight to Eurovision (for the time being anyway). They have given us some wunderbar entries over the years - who can forget Boom Boom Boomerang in 1977, Weil Der Mensch Zählt in 2003 with the marvellous Alf Poier, and of course, Für den Frieden der Welt in 1994.

ORF programme director Wolfgang Lorenz also hinted that Austria may withdraw from the contest indefinitely, stating "ORF has no desire to send more talent out of Austria to a competition where they have no chances...Should the situation change, we'll be happy to take part again."

Let's hope they don't stay away too long!
Merci Autriche!

Who's gonna Yodel in the canyon of love now? Maybe Liechtenstein will step into the void?
