Because U.S. would just stand there and shout "USA, USA" for three minutes.
Yay stereotypes!

Australia better put a didgeridoo, a kangaroo and a koala bear in their act of don´t bother 
We need more crazy acts akin to the previous Eurovision. The last couple of years were boring.
Russian grandmas and their rotating oven for the win.

They give Australia Kyrgios and Kokkinakis, Australia gives them Eurovision points. Seems like a fair deal.

Eurovision, fuck yeah!!
Maybe not in external fashion, since Eurovision gets hunger games-esque in its broad representation of countries, but there are clear differences between Southern Rap, Nashville Country, Pacific NW indie, etc. It wouldn't be as distinct as Europe, but it coudl still work.

We'll invite Canada, New Zealand, South Africa and Australia, petition to give Cornwall and Yorkshire separate entries reflecting their unique identity, and then you'll see! Anglo-bloc unite!
Eurovision, fuck yeah!!
Well at least we send a good looking contender even if her song was utter shit and won with a fraud
In the end indecision gets the better of us and we just send Chet Faker

The trouble is that distinctiveness probably wouldn't work when there are multiple southern rap candidates, multiple Pacific indie candidates, and so on. The best bet would be to have regional rounds that 6-7 similar state compete in, with the winner from each regional round going to a final.

Wasn't Gina G Australian?
Yeah, just like in football. Ronaldo is also pretty good looking but they still lost that one match to Greece. Oh wait, two actually.

Beautiful.
Looking at differences between genres? It looks like you are taking Eurovision seriously.

Best news to wake up to ever!!
My vote is we send Hugh Jackman. He can dance, sing and well, he's Wolverine.
I'm not sure who's trolling on this thread or not but New Zealand is not a region of Australia, just putting it out there.

I thought countries participated out of some duty.
Didn't think anyone would actually WANT to take part.......I remember sitting with family and watching.
Then it was just waiting to see England flop.
Then Internet happened and there are far too many other worthless things to do with my time than watch the Eurovision.

See, this is why Australia deserves to be part of Eurovision and so many European countries don't. Germany was the same way until Lena won. Greece always liked it, but they are one of the most successfull participants.

Team GB! Team GB! Team GB!
We're getting perilously close to the point that we'll perform sexual favours in return for Eurovision votes.
Last time I checked it was the Eurovision Song Contest not the European Song Contest...

This is true, but on the other hand we gave you this classy motherfucker and you still rejected us, so fuck y'all. You act like you don't want us in the EU or some shit.
You also gave us Jedward. Come on, bro.
Because we don't give a shit. Pretty soon there will be threads about the US & Eurovision to go along with the ones asking why:
- We don't we use the metric system?
- Why don't we love the "beautiful game"?
- Do we really clap after meals?

This is both a nice gesture for the 60th anniversary based on the logic of the EBU but also completely weird and crazy and will confuse a lot of people.
Couldn't think of a decision that's more Eurovision-esque than that.
