Australia to take part for the 60th Anniversary!

Yes, you read that right! After a prominent place in the interval act of last year’s Eurovision Song Contest, Australia will compete in the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest, to take place on 19, 21 and 23rd of May in Vienna, Austria. Just for once, and for many good reasons! Find out more here

---

Things to note:

• This is a one-off, for the 60th Anniversary
• They go straight to the final
• Being represented by Guy Sebastian, Australian Idol winner, X Factor Australia judge and has hit song 'Like A Drum'
• If they do win, they can compete the next year BUT they must co-host the event in a European country and not Australia

Germany's Eurovision winner, Andreas Kummert, drops out on live TV

Quote:

---

The winner of the search to find Germany's Eurovision Song Contest entrant turned down the chance to represent his country on live TV.

Andreas Kummert initially thanked the public for selecting his song Heart of Stone as Germany's entry.

But, shortly afterwards, he took the microphone from presenter Barbara Schoneberger and said: "I'm really not in the right shape to accept this."

Instead, he said, "I give my title to Ann Sophie", the 24-year-old runner-up.

Ann Sophie looked visibly confused by the turn of events; while many in the studio audience booed.

I always look forward to it - but as per norm I know England will never win ... hope am wrong mind tho' .... but seriously how can the thing even be taken serious any more - either totally alter it or ace it I say!

hmm...yess i agree! maybe because we compete as the UK!

I do like the song it is kinda catchy, but I still think the genre's a bit out of touch idk.

I like it better than last year's entry though :P

i like it but i agree with intersocial

and it isn't very eurovisiony
and the man is a bit annoying

i just listened to like a drum, hes actually quite good

Great song indeed. It's really catchy and retro-I ... but for it to wn as a song in it's own right will NEVER happen until the format is changed and political voting ends!!

Could we have a worse song omf that was painful it's like we've tried to make a song that sounds like it's an entry from Greece or something. Going to Tesco now but will listen to the rest when I get back

I wish one of these songs represented The Netherlands
I would defo vote for them

jesus christ. not sure you're all hearing but with fj on this, truly truly awful. like someone saw clean bandit and that will.i.am song doing well and thought you could remix any crap 1930s tripe, doesn't help they mixed it with the cheapest sounding beat imaginable. this all before hearing that atrocious scat part. makes gemini sound like abba.

Guy Sebastian is a good person to put forward for Australia! I hope he sings a song just as good as Battle Scars. We might actually have a chance :)

That's exactly what I'm hoping. I really want to attend a Eurovision Final, but the UK will never win it - especially this year, the song is absolutely awful. Probably the worst since Teenage Life or that Andy guy that lost the X Factor.

the song for sweden was revealed tonight and it's VERY good imo and possible winner
very smart staging and it reminds me a bit of lovers on the sun and a john newman song

Loving Slovenia, Denmark, Iceland, Greece, Russia and dared I say it THE UK WOOOOOO

I hate our song!! I really like the swwedish entry. I feel it will prob grow on me too. Really does sounds like avicii/guetta

Yeah we've tried fun in the past and it hasn't really worked... :L
I don't think I've ever really liked a UK entry.
My favourite entry since I've been watching it is Alexander Rybak for Norway in 2009, nothing has beaten that yet :')

Semi-final 1 is tonight at 8pm

BBC3

Well England have no chance of winning so I won't be watching, and just watch the song on youtube

Yup, England have absolutely 0% chance of winning!

Pretty awful so far... when Finland got on stage I said jokingly to Sammeth "I hope this is something really [beep] metal" and LOOK WHAT HAPPENED

Estonia are really good.

Estonia was good but I wish the guy's voice was a bit more special, would be a really good song if he was as good as the girl

I've actually enjoyed Russia the most so far, though I must say their consistent desire to sing about peace is incredibly ironic.

Can anyone tell me what colour dress Alice the presenter has? Looks blue and black to me.
