About Eurovision, to compete the countries have to be members of the Eurovision Broadcast Union (EBU). One requirement for being a member of the EBU is being in the European Broadcasting Area (EBA), which doesn't just include most of europe, (except some of most eastern part, meaning Kazakhstan isn't in it, despite being partially in europe), but also the surrounding of the Mediterranum and the caucasus. Associate Members can also join the contest, but only if they have been invited, that's how Australia is in. The US is also a associate member, so if the EBU ever invites them, they could take part.

And yes, a tiny part of Kazakhstan at the Northeastern banks of the Caspian Sea is actually in Europa.
