Is it also the first time for IRELAND?
Yes, Ireland & Australia it is very strange to see no nordic countries at all in the 17!
I don’t understand why
Saw the video for the Australian entrant today. I have to say she is quite the polished singer. If she can deliver that song live that well, then I think that Australia is in with a good chance. Well, I think a good result anyway.
