Delta Goodrem has advanced to the Grand Final
Australia’s Delta Goodrem wowed the crowd during her semi-final performance in Vienna with new song ‘Eclipse’, securing a place among the 25 acts competing in tonight’s Grand Final. It was a strong and confident performance that reminded the world why Goodrem is one of Australia’s most celebrated artists. Australia is one of ten countries to progress from the semi-finals, along with Bulgaria, Ukraine, Norway, Romania, Malta, Cyprus, Albania, Denmark and the Czech Republic. With the whole country watching, the pressure is on, but if his semi-final performance is anything to go by, Goodrem is ready for the moment.
Who won Eurovision 2025?
Last year, Austrian-Filipino artist JJ won the Eurovision Song Contest with the song ‘Wasted Love’, a victory that earned Austria the hosting rights for this year’s contest in Vienna. Australian 2025 entrant Go-Jo did not qualify for the year’s grand final, making Delta Goodrem’s run this year even more exciting for Australian fans. Tonight, Australia has a real chance to make history on the Eurovision stage.
