And if she does qualify, she will be competing against 25 other countries from Europe as well as...

Not Europe.

But according to the bookies, even though I have not watched her performance just yet, she hasn't taken to the stage yet at the time of recording.

According to the bookies, she is very, very likely to qualify.

She's sitting fourth in the odds at the moment behind Denmark, Greece and Finland.

And look, Australia's greatest result in Eurovision was back in 2016.

That was 10 years ago with Dami Im.

She is the closest we've ever gotten to lifting up that crystal trophy award.

So this is the thing.

Eurovision is based on broadcasting rights.

So it's literally just the EBU, the European Broadcasting Union, that signs rights, and that's how you become part of Eurovision.

So SBS has a deal with them, which means we're in.

It's also why Israel, for example, which isn't a European country, is in because they've got the broadcasting rights, Azerbaijan in the past, a Middle Eastern country, etc.

Would Europe be mad?

Look, the wave has been not in our favour lately.

The past two years, we haven't qualified past the semifinals.

There has been a bit of that vibe that the gimmick of Australia's entry is like, well, you know, what's going on here?

But you can't deny the power of Delta Goodrum and those vocals this year.

They are loving her sick.

And according to reports and leaks, she will be flung into the air.
