You will not have to wait anymore! We have the info! Dami Im will be representing Australia and SBS at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest in Stockholm!
As previously reported on ESC-Plus. com, many rumors were behind this year’s Australian Eurovision participation. First, Kylie Minogue denying to participate while she’s been a long fan favourite as well as Delta Goodrem who went on writing the Australian Junior Eurovision entry in 2015 and early yesterday denied being the one selected for Stockholm. Eyes were also set on this year’s DMGP contestant and 3rd series of ”The Voice” Anja Nissen who came 2nd with ”Never Alone”. Did SBS pose to do it after Anja’s result in Denmark?
The thing is that today, Conchita Wurst revealed from Sydney’s Opera House the name of this year’s Australian Eurovision representative who also performed on stage with a very intimate and personal performance of 1974 winning entry Waterloo by ABBA. There could not be a better place to make the big reveal!
