Here it comes, the first real spin off of the Eurovision song contest (well, there's of course Junior Eurovision song contest and Eurovision dance contest...): Asiavision song contest to be held next year for the first time with 16 countries taking part, with expected expanding up to 30 countries (Eurovision has gone from 7 to nearly 50) in the future. The estimated TV-audience is up to 500 million people. The countries in the kick off are: China, Cambodia, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Macao, Malaysia, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam. (Well, one might raise a question mark for the trio China-Hong Kong-Macao.... England, Scotland & Wales anyone?). Time will tell if Asiavision will become as popular and long living as Eurovision and will they join each other someday in Worldvision song contest or something... In a way I'm starting to feel a bit nostalgic to those ESCs with 18-20 countries only so long ago already... Here's the presentation video anyways: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJQ8XbhvP1A
