I have a confession to make: I am a massive Eurovision fan. The more flamboyant the dress and the cheesier the lyrics, the more I applaud. Ordinarily I latch onto whatever country uses more pyrotechnics, but this year is going to be different. This year Australia has a country to get behind.
Aussie songwriters Craig Porteils and Cameron Giles-Webb have penned “This is Our Night” for Greece. Cameron is the president of Gusto Music, while Craig has written tracks for Cher, Billy Idol, Human Nature, and Wendy Matthews. Their up-tempo dance track will be performed by pretty boy Sakis Rouvas in the second semi-final, held on May 14 in Moscow. And hopefully we’ll see him do it all again in the final on May 16!
Aussies can cheer on Sakis from their lounge rooms with full coverage from SBS.
