It is well known that the Eurovision Song Contest performance is a combination of Song and Vision. The Guy Sebastian, Austalian hopeful this year wants kangaroos and koalas on stage?

The audience has witnessed in the last couple of years on Eurovision stage ice skaters, a trapeze artist, a stilt walker, even a golf buggy. This year, at the Austrian Embassy in Australia, Guy Sebastian told the reporters that he was hoping for koalas and kangaroos to be part of the performance and was disappointed that this couldn’t happen. He explained that animal handlers had said it simply wasn’t possible.

They were worried about them getting loose in the audience and they have big claws so who knows what could have happened.

Obviously Sebastian was joking since the EBU rules are clear and no animals can be used on Eurovision stage.

I attended my first Eurovision Song Contest in 1995, and from 1996 presented daily live reports for radio stations from the event. Since then I have been providing material from everywhere the contest has been held. I also enjoy compiling most of the video materials for three UK ESC events each year. In 2010 I first provided material for esctoday.com.
