The entry’s reveal was scheduled for today, while a few days ago The Voyager, last year’s representatives, teased us with the announcement of their successors.

How we got to Electric Fields?

For the second consecutive year, SBS opted for an internal selection in order to decide its Eurovision 2024 act. No information was given regarding the procedure, while the rumors were excessive. Names like Delta Goodrem, Dannii Minogue and Dami Im were circulating as the potential Australian representatives with all of the aforementioned denying these rumors later.

It appears that Electric Fields were SBS pick for Eurovision 2024 and everyone else was just fans’ wishful thinking.

Who are Electric Fields?

Electric Fields is an Australian electronic music duo made up of vocalist Zaachariaha Fielding and keyboard player and producer Michael Ross. Electric Fields combine modern electric-soul music with Aboriginal culture.

They are no strangers to the Eurovision community. Electric Fields took part in the country’s first national final, Australia Decides – Eurovision 2019, where they placed second behind Kate Miller-Heidke with their song “2000 and Whatever“.

/0 Comments/in , /by

Amidst the rumors circulating in recent days suggesting Dami Im would represent Australia in this year’s competition, her manager swiftly denied this possibility, stating that the popular artist will not participate in Eurovision 2024.

It all started with the Kyle and Jackie O radio show, where it was mentioned that Dami Im would make a comeback to the competition after eight years. However, Ken Outch, Im’s manager, debunked these rumors, saying:

“I can confirm that Dami has not been approached for Eurovision this year. Dami is focused on writing for her new album and preparing for the upcoming release of Korean books.”

Australia will announce its representative and song on March 6. The land of kangaroos will participate in the second half of the first semifinal.

Until the announcement of Australia’s representative, let’s remember Dami Im’s previous participation in the contest, where she holds the record for the best placement in Eurovision, finishing second.

Australia: Dannii Minogue denies her Eurovision 2024 participation!

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Back in December, a Eurovision tweet reposted by the world-renowned artist Dannii Minogue sparked widespread speculation about her potential Eurovision participation.

While Eurovision fans were excited about the possibility of seeing the Australian star perform on the Eurovision stage, it turns out that it was all wishful thinking.

Dannii Minogue is not Australia’s pick for Eurovision 2024

On the “Jackie O and Kyle Show”, Dannii Minogue denied rumors that she would represent Australia at Eurovision 2024. When questioned by the radio show host, Dannii responded that:

Oh my God it’s the weirdest thing, it’s not like I can’t say anything. All I did was respond to a “tweet” from Eurovision because I am a massive fan, that’s all that has happened.

Moreover, when asked whether she would try it in the future, she mentioned that:

I don’t know that I would have the strength to get through it. I saw Dami do it, Kate did it bending around on this pole. Like guys, I am 52! I am not J-Lo at Superbowl.

It appears that Dannii’s hesitation to try the Eurovision experience stems from her uncertainty about her ability to keep up with the extensive preparations.

Who is Dannii Minogue?

Dannii Minogue is a singer, presenter, and actress. Her career began in the 1980s and is still going strong today. She has released numerous albums and singles and her success has extended beyond Australia’s borders. She has served as a judge on several music talent shows, including The X Factor UK!

Less than five months separate us from the 68th Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö, Sweden, but the surprises and the exciting news do not stop from coming.

The last few minutes the name of Dannii Minogue, Kylie Minogue’s sister, has really triggered the Eurovision Bubble. The popular singer reposted a tweet by the official Eurovision account on X regarding the reveal of the stage design, that raises questions.

Specifically, she wrote:

The stage is set…and the countdown has begun!

Following her repost, the official Eurovision account replied to her using the title of one of her song, “Begin To Wonder“, raising even more questions about whether we will see Dannii Minogue representing Australia in Malmö!

In case the afore-mentioned scenario is true and not just wishful thinking, we can realize that Eurovision 2024 is becoming an all-star edition, with the participation of many established artists, such as Olly Alexander for the United Kingdom and Slimane for France. Along with the winner of Sanremo, who will undoubtedly be a big name of the Italian music scene, it is clear that the competition has entered a new era.

Who is Danii Minogue?
