I hope it’s good for the people. It used to be Richard Wilkins bringing in the New Year boringly. Then ABC did very much focus on a Newtown and Ultimo New Year. I hope they can put on a show that everyone will like. I think we deserve it.
If it is anything like last years concert it should be good….. it was post pandemic and international pride then…there are 37 free vantage points this year especially for the people who cannot afford to go to paid New Years Eve venues or parties….(thanks to the new government according to Nine News)…Zan and Charlie did a great job as presenters last year… considering they are there to introduce the entertainment…and promote the event…but like all things in life there will be criticism.
I think the Countdown concert was their biggest, other than a couple of years ago when they had massive ratings because everyone was home due to the virus. I think something themed like ’80s or ’90s would do well.
