    It has a huge following in Australia that is growing more and more. It was a cult event for years, due to many Europeans living in Australia.  Then it got more and more attention and SBS television promoted it heavily and it took off more.  Due to the final's time - always early Sunday morning, many had Eurovision parties but some also avoided the news and watched it that night on delay at 6 pm, pretending it is live  It has a lot of love here and a lot of fans that are growing at a rapid rate. 

    For years it was a running joke that Australia should compete but nobody dreamed it would be possible.  Australians love being a part of Europe now :lmao: 

     

    plus, we are this year having our own tv competition to pick the Australian act, so it will get even more attention in the lead up.

    It's Gaga and Harry Styles.

    Given Slob was not welcome the last couple of years at the MET after making an arse of herself, it makes you wonder what strings were pulled to get her this gig.

    Still, new music is coming so we can ignore the Gunt and bask in some beautiful new songs.

    Didn't they announce the hosts ages ago? They probably thought she would have won all the awards by now and be relevant, instead of the flop she is.

    Would be great if M turned up as Harry's date, grab all the headlines.

    The MTribe mod said first single in May, Album in June, makes sense if she's performing the first single at Eurovision in mid May. Now we just have to wait 3 months...

    Seems to be the case. I think GMALY was only released like a day or two before superbowl (ignoring the leak), and the album name was only the month before (?), so I guess we'll need to find something to fill in some time before then. At least the Lady Vegas thread is giving us lots to laugh at.

    But then again, superbowl was a bit weird with one song that clearly no-one knew. It would be good if everybody already knew the song performed. If it is the place to launch the new single, I expect the performance to be completely over the top, and it to be used as the de facto video to get in all the views.

  4. Wasn’t there a rumour of 2 singles being released at the same time, so maybe both performed at ESC. in terms of actual release date, surely we’ll get to hear things before then - it’s promo, I don’t think the producers would want to use the event to launch a new song when the focus is supposed to be on the competition songs. But perhaps the reason we haven’t got any info so far is because they were waiting to see if this was locked in, and now that it is we will hopefully get more info on everything.

    But that (RH) was her previous to last album with Interscope so Interscope might have thought that she wanted to get out of the contract with a double album (it could have counted as 2 albums). At least I always thought that might have been the reason.

    i thought that too.

    Perhaps she will release a fado album to finish her contract, and then release a dance record straight afterwards.

    I can see her inviting Palestinian and Israeli musicians on stage to maybe perform together, showcasing their talents, thus making a political statement, plus getting exposure and promo for the new album, a Hole in one...

    Maybe, but I think the producers are very strict about what can and cant happen, so any statement she wanted to make would be vetted beforehand.
