Australia announces its song for Eurovision
After weeks of agonising over what the Australian song to be sung by Guy Sebastian would be like, the overwhelming consensus among Eurovision fans here in Australia is that is very good.
The song was officially launched by SBS on their national evening news bulletin and follow-up show ‘The Feed’. Titled ‘Tonight Again’, the song has quite a contemporary R&B sound, up-beat and funky. There is a strong brass element and it is supported by excellent back-up singers.
Many thought the song would be taken from his current album ‘Madness’ and likely to be a ballad. But Guy has proven us all wrong and written something completely new in just under a week. And what’s more, he’s recorded a video clip to support it.
Guy mentioned in the news broadcast that he wanted the song to be fun and went on say “it is about moments in life you do not want to end and you could live those moments every day”.
Since the release, the level of opinion expressed on various Facebook pages, media outlets and Twitter has been huge. Let’s hope everyone here in Australia and around the world gets right behind Guy and his song Tonight Again.

FLY ON THE WINGS OF LOVE – AUSTRALIAN COVER
With Australia now into Eurovision 2015, I was wondering how many Euro songs have been covered by Australian artists. This is the only one I have in my collection.
Australia to take part in the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest
Australia will participate in the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest. This is a ‘one off’ event as part of the the 60th anniversary celebrations of the contest. It also fits in to the Eurovision theme this year of Building Bridges.
The broadcaster will be SBS and Australia will go straight to the final on 23 May in Vienna and will also be eligible to vote in both of the semi-finals. For many years now there has much much excitement and support from Australia for Eurovision. It will be a great occasion for them to join Europe in this massive event.
It has yet to be decided how Australia will select their song. SBS will provide more information soon.
In 2014 Australia played a significant part in one of the Eurovision semi-final interval act with an Oz theme. Jessica Mauboy performed Sea Of Flags to an excited audience.
Australia’s participation brings the amount of countries taking part to 40 in 2015.
