Why Is Delta Goodrem Doing Eurovision? Australian Star One of Favourites to Win

  • On Saturday, Delta Goodrem represented Australia at the Eurovision Grand Final in Vienna, performing her emotional ballad 'Eclipse' as one of the competition's top favorites to claim the 70th anniversary title.
  • Australia's Eurovision journey, beginning in 2015, reached a peak after Goodrem secured a Grand Final spot following Thursday's successful semi-final performance, ending two consecutive years of non-qualifications for the country.
  • After Friday's jury show, Goodrem ranked first in press and audience polls among 25 competing countries; her European tour spanning London, Paris, and Berlin is officially sold out.
  • Organizers faced scrutiny as protesters marched near Vienna's arena demanding a ban on Israeli broadcaster KAN, while five countries including Spain and Ireland boycotted over Israel's participation in the war-affected competition.
  • If Goodrem wins, European Broadcasting Union rules require Australia to co-host with a European nation, though Goodrem has expressed the country should be allowed to host independently.
