The Music of Politics

By Jamie McLoughlin on Aug 29, 08 03:29 PM

Although Eurovision voting is so often referred to as political, it's very rare that world politics actually makes itself felt at the event.

This could all change in 2009.

Russia's victory in Belgrade means next year's Contest is bound for Moscow. Reports are now circulating that, following the recent unrest, Georgia will boycott the Contest.

Boom Bang a Blog must stress that this news has not been officially confirmed by the Eurovision organisers and is based on a statement carried on an Estonian news site, but we will keep you posted on any developments.
