Australia to appear on Eurovision map (just off the coast of Denmark)

The First Semi Final for Eurovision Song Contest is set to take place in the early hours of tomorrow morning (AEST) with the Second Semi Final set for Friday morning.

Jessica Mauboy, Julia Zemiro and Australian producer Paul Clarke recently fronted a Press Conference n Copenhagen, but kept Mauboy’s song and outfit a closely-guarded secret.

In a further nod to our love for the event, it seems a map of Australia will make an appearance in the North Sea, just off the coast of Denmark. What not in place of Austria?

Armenia is still leading the betting, followed by Sweden, United Kingdom, Ukraine and now a push by Hungary.

Here are more of the entries to get you in the mood. Deux points!

HUNGARY:
“Running” – Kállay-Saunders

BELGIUM:
“Mother” – Axel Hirsoux

ISRAEL:
“Same Heart” – Mei Finegold

NETHERLANDS:
“Calm After The Storm” – The Common Linnets

FINLAND:

GREECE:

As per this site’s policy, I will hold off publishing results of the First Semi until Saturday morning, following the SBS broadcast. While the Second Semi will air on SBS on Friday morning due to Jessica Mauboy’s appearance, I will also hold off the results until Sunday morning (but I might post something on her appearance separately before that).

Results of the Final will be published on Sunday night as soon as the broadcast has aired AEST (please adjust if you are in Adelaide, Perth etc).
