Australian band Voyager has booked a slot in this weekend’s Eurovision Song Contest final, delivering a stunning performance in the second semi-final.
For Australia to win the competition, a number of factors would need to come to play, most importantly favourable placement in the second half of Sunday’s final. But with Eurovision, as much as it can seem a dead certainty, it can also remain anyone’s game to the final moments.
Speaking after his performance, Lambrou said he was connected to his roots in Australia, “but it finally came to life when I was in Cyprus [recently]“. Asked how he felt sharing the stage with Australia’s Voyager, Lambrou said: “I don’t have a bad word to say about them. It’s a beautiful moment to be sharing this with them. To be in this position now, and we’re both going to the grand final, is something I am never going to forget.”
It is a statistical reality that Eurovision’s outcome is shaped by both regional voting blocs, such as Cyprus-Greece, Moldova-Romania and Sweden-Denmark-Finland-Norway, and diaspora voting, where migration has moved appetites for different types of cultural music across Europe.
