Now what you're about to see is real. Nothing is fake or made up, but yes. This is history made in the EUROVISION Song Contest this year.
That being said, Australia is making their ESC debut in Vienna, and will compete in the Grand Final as a 'guest' participant. Therefore, their first ever ESC participant is Guy Sebastian (pictured), who will perform "Tonight Again" on May 23.
"Tonight Again" is just a typical, mainstream pop tune, with mainstream pop vibes. I feel that Australia's ESC debut is not going to be a good one. They could get less than ten points. Welcome to the ESC Australia.
Now why is Australia in the ESC to begin with? Australia is one of the largest non-European viewing markets for the ESC on TV, as it has been broadcasted on SBS since 1983. Could this open the door for non-European nations to compete down the road? I mean, there's already have been such case in ESC history. Morocco competed in 1980, as their only ESC appearance. Cyprus, geographically Asian (but culturally European), has been in ESC for a while and will return this year. Azerbaijan, Armenia, Turkey and Israel are all culturally Asian, and also compete in this event (except Turkey, which has been absent since 2012). Maybe Kazakhstan could come on board? Stay tuned.
