Why was Australia in the Eurovision Song Contest?
Australia is nowhere near Europe.

@Longpatrol I like some of Kylie's songs, especially this one:

@Longpatrol And bands like AC/DC, INXS, Men At Work, and Split Enz, to name a few.
HairbrushDiva · 31-35, F
@Sidewinder I'm not into those bands at all. AC/DC are too loud and strident for my taste. I only know one Men At Work song, it's called "Down Under" and it's awful. I only know one Split Enz song and I didn't think that was anything special either. I've heard one or two INXS songs but I'm still not keen.
Here are some singers from Australia that I do like (apart from Kylie):

And, of course, not forgetting Kylie's sister:

@carolinehugz Interesting guess, but I doubt if it's the real reason.

Australia has been competing in the Eurovision Song Contest since 2015.
HairbrushDiva · 31-35, F
@Jacko1971 But why? I don't see how it qualifies.

There was the song in the late 70s that sounded like
I Want To Be A Polar Bear.
I Want To Be A Polar Bear.

@ArtieKat the Jews literally came from the EU so that the EU can not have Jews.

The Eurovision Song Contest has no connection with the British Commonwealth- weird how some here think it does 🙂🐼🥢

Nobody knows. And English people aren't European at all.
MaryJo1996 · 26-30, F
@Roundandroundwego How so? 🤔
Roundandroundwego · 61-69
@MaryJo1996 I'm being facetious. The Brexit and all. Not being you while being you.

this is my best guess, and i'm not kidding at all... it's because the accents are similar
HairbrushDiva · 31-35, F
@SW-User I don't think so.
For the same reason a random country like Israel was I gues......

@BritishFailedAesthetic the Jews randomly all came from Europe so Europe could not have Jews.

I remember saying the same thing to my friend last year when I saw Australia was in it.

Is that like the Gong Show? (I'm old. Sue me.)
