Delta Goodrem Aims to Eclipse Favourites at Eurovision
Goodrem says the song was written with her team and was inspired by Eurovision idols Olivia Newton-John and Celine Dion.
- Australian pop performer Delta Goodrem is representing Australia at the Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna with her entry 'Eclipse,' marking the eleventh year an Australian artist has competed in the global music competition.
- Goodrem, a singer-songwriter and former coach on The Voice Australia, follows in the footsteps of musical idols like Celine Dion who have participated in Eurovision. She views the competition as "a celebration of music" and sought advice from previous Australian participants.
- Goodrem wears a custom gown by Australian label Velani by Nicky, handembellished with 7,000 Swarovski crystals. House of Emmanuele designed a central decorative "eclipse" piece at her chest, serving as both ornament and symbolic shield.
- Competing in the second semi-final on Friday, Goodrem said, "I wanted the staging to move like the universe itself." Rehearsals at Vienna's Wiener Stadthalle show a performance built around eclipse themes relying on lighting and costume.
- Bookmakers currently rate Goodrem as the fifth favorite to win, though she faces long odds compared to runaway favorite Finland. The contest airs May 13 to 17 on SBS, offering her a platform to reach a global audience.
