Which Aussie singer should represent us at Eurovision?

WE might be a long way from Europe, but Australia will be that little bit closer when it performs at the world’s biggest song contest in May this year.

News that Australia has been granted a “wildcard” entry to Eurovision 2015 was met with much excitement, but it also got us debating about who should represent us at the annual songfest.

While Jessica Mauboy did us proud last year on the international stage she wasn’t one of the entries, but rather an interval act in the second Semi-final.

But this year, to mark the 60th anniversary of the song contest, we’ll have an official entry in the finals.

With a global audience of 195 million viewers tuning in last year, this is one stage that counts.

So which Aussie singers have an equal mix of talent and flamboyance to bring a bit of bizarre to the annual contest?

Here’s just some of the names that have been thrown around. (Some more seriously than others):

Sia

Somehow we think Sia would fit right in at Eurovision. Source: Getty Images

She’s got the right amount of quirk and intrigue, plus some serious vocal cred behind her. Are Eurovision ready for a singer who spends their whole performance facing the wall?

Nikki Webster

Plus, she knows how to fly. Source: News Limited

She’d probably still fit into the famous pink dress. Lets be honest we’ve all been missing those Strawberry Kisses.

Hey, Hey, it’s Daryl at Eurovision! Why not get Dickie Nee, Ossie Ostrich and Plucka Duck back together, the Europeans would love it.

Sister2Sister

S2S

Jedward hit the big time, here’s our Aussie female equivalent.

Courtney Act

Europe, are you ready for Courtney? Source: Supplied

Conchita ain’t got nothing on Courtney Act. Except a beard.

Millsy

Don’t mention the D word. Source: Getty Images

He pashed Paris Hilton once and no one really knows what he’s done since. How bout we get Millsy back on the agenda? He’d totally be up for it.

Dannii and Kylie. We’d definitely get the UK vote.

Sophie Monk

C’mon, this has got Eurovision written all over it right? Source: AFP

Australia’s been begging from a Bardot reunion, ever since they disbanded after two hit songs. With the girls saying the chances are pretty much slim to none for a reunion, let’s give her another chance at international fame.

Who wouldn’t want to see the return of Richard Wilde? Wilde and Reckless could be exactly what Eurovision needs.

Russ Le Roq

Russ Le Roq

Before he was a Hollywood star, before he was the front man of 30 Odd Foot of Grunts, Russell Crowe was Russ Le Roq. It’s about time people knew Rusty for what he really is. A bogan with a microphone.

Delta

Delts. She could pull it off. Source: Getty Images

The Eurovision audience love a good hair extension. And she’s got the vocal chords to boot.

Amity Dry

Remember this face? Source: Supplied

We’ve catapulted our fair share of reality stars into the limelight, so who better than a former Block contestant to take Australia all the way?

The Chantoozies

They had Tottie Goldsmith, enough said!
