Montaigne To Represent Australia At Eurovision 2020: 'This Is Wild!'

Montaigne has won this year's Eurovision - Australia Decides event and will represent the country at this year's competition. 

On the back of her performance of Don't Break Me, the Sydney songwriter won over the Australian public and jury and racked up 107 points overall to be declared the winner at the event on the Gold Coast last night. 

Montaigne beat the likes of Casey Donovan, who finished in second place with 100 points, and Vanessa Amorosi in third with 82 points. 

The ARIA Award winner will now go on to represent Australia at Eurovision in the Netherlands this May.

“This is wild! I started out just grateful to be a part of Eurovision but this is fricken insane," Montaigne said.

"Thank you to everyone who gave me their vote, I’m so excited to go to Rotterdam and give it a red hot go!”

SBS Commissioning Editor and Australian Head of Delegation Josh Martin added, “Australia has made their choice! And what an incredibly exciting and original choice it is. 

"This is a game changer for our Eurovision journey. Montaigne is an incredibly talented artist, full of strength and integrity who will bring a new audience to Eurovision.

"It will be so exciting to see how she can evolve this performance for the much larger stage in Rotterdam in May. Fun times ahead!”
