Apparently, in recognition of the 60th anniversary of the Eurovision Song Contest and the fact that a lot of Aussies (including myself) watch it, Australia is going to compete in this year’s contest!
We get automatic entry into the final (along with all the usual suspects) and – assuming that they can figure out how to do it in a sensible fashion given the time difference – we’ll get to vote! In the event that we win (not entirely impossible given the huge novelty factor) next year’s contest will be held somewhere in Europe with heavy Australian involvement. It’s also the only way we’ll get to compete in 2016 – if we don’t win then it’s a one-off.
This is going to be interesting…
Of course I can hardly mention this without posting the greatest Eurovision song never to be entered in Eurovision.
They really must lose that sax solo.
While I’ve always loved your sense of humor and whimsy, there have been times where I’ve wanted to slap you up the back of the head.
This is one of those times. 😛
Oh and good for us Australia. Hope we win!!! 🙂
