Australia has been officially competing in the Eurovision Song Contest for the last four years, but this year is the first time that the Australian public has had the opportunity to pick which song and artist represents the country. Tonight on SBS was Eurovision - Australia Decides, appropriately held on the Gold Coast and hosted by Australia's Eurovision commentators Myf Warhurst and Joel Creasey. Ten artists performed their original songs live on tv for the national final, with the expert jury and popular votes counting for 50% each.
It was an entertaining evening, with Kate Miller-Heidke's song "Zero Gravity" deservedly winning the crown to represent Australia. I think it will do really well at Eurovision with its pop-opera sound and staging.
Second place went to the fantastic Electric Fields with their song "2000 and Whatever," which had parts of the song sung in language.
My other favorite performance of the night was Courtney Act with "Fight For Love."
The Eurovision Song Contest will take place in Tel Aviv, Israel from 14-18 May 2019.
