Australia will compete in the 2023 Eurovision grand final, with synth-metal band Voyager voted in after a glittering performance in the second semifinal.
The late Olivia Newton-John competed for the UK and Gina G sung the hit Ooh Aah … Just a Little Bit while also representing the UK.
Australians are also this year claiming Andrew Lambrou, who is through to the grand final for Cyprus but was born and raised in Australia. Australia's position in the competition going forward is tenuous. It will need to re-negotiate its participation beyond 2023 as this is the last year it is confirmed to compete.
Many are asking why the non-European nation is in the competition in the first place and that has a lot to do with the fact that Aussies are big fans of Eurovision, with SBS having broadcast the show every year since 1983.Loading YouTube content
