Re: Representing Australia
I thought it was for bands/singers who hadnt already "made it", thus ruling them out. That said, I dont even know of one Hilltop Hoods song, so you never know.

Re: Representing Australia
How do you interpret made it? I'm pretty sure Katrina And The Waves had already had hits before they last represented the united kingdom.
I bring nothing to this forum
Re: Representing Australia
There is nothing in the rules that says you must not have "made it". But it is up to individual participating countries to have select their candidates and so they may impose some of their own rules.Bomber wrote:I thought it was for bands/singers who hadnt already "made it", thus ruling them out.

However the song has to be original and cannot have been released.
Re: Representing Australia
Former Australian Idol winner Guy Sebastian has been chosen to represent Australia at its debut Eurovision Song Contest in May.
The announcement was made in a ceremony at the Sydney Opera House on Thursday morning.
Australia was given a wildcard entry to the 60th edition of the competition, to be held in Vienna, Austria.
The country has been fast-tracked to the final and so will not have to compete in the earlier rounds.
Sebastian won the first ever Australian Idol competition in 2003 and has since had eight top ten albums and two number one singles.
He was a judge on Australia's version of The X Factor between 2010 and 2012.
The singer said he was "pumped" to be performing at the competition.
