YEWW ISAIAH!

Following in the footsteps of last year's Dami Im and Guy Sebastian in 2015, this year's Australian entrant, 17-year-old Isaiah Firebrace, has powered through to the Eurovision grand final after impressing crowds with his song, Don't Come Easy, in the first semi-final this morning.

As SBS reports, Firebrace was one of ten to make it through to finals night, alongside countries like Greece, Moldova, Armenia, Cyprus, Belgium, Portugal, Poland, Sweden and Azerbaijan.

"We are incredibly proud of how Isaiah has represented Australia, it is a huge achievement to advance through to the Grand Final of the world’s biggest singing competition," says SBS Managing Director Michael Ebeid.

"We know Australians will get behind Isaiah and tune into SBS this weekend to see him perform.”

Georgia, Albania, Montenegro, Finland, Iceland, Czech Republic, Slovenia and Latvia did not make it through to the final round.

Our other Australian entrant, The Voice winner Anja Nissen, is competing for Denmark and will perform on the second semi-final night on early Friday morning. The grand final will be held on early Sunday morning.
