Keeping with the process that has brought them to the grand finals stage every year since Vienna hosted in 2015, it has been reported ORF have will be conducting an internal selection to find the successor to Cesar Sampson.
Cesar shocked the Eurovision community when he won the jury vote during the grand final in Lisbon in 2018. It is with great momentum that Austria enters the contest this year, perhaps looking to repeat Conchita Wurst‘s success of 2014. It has been reported that Eberhard Forcher who discovered Cesar Sampson has once again offered candidates. Kleine Zeitung has reported we should expect a ‘highly charged ballad or a dynamic pop duo number’.
With these little clues are there any artists that come to mind that you hope are selected? Do you think Austria is following the right approach to get back to the top? Let us know and come back to this space for more news on this!
