\"guy<\/a>It’s been an interesting few weeks for Australian Eurovision fans.\u00a0 Still reeling from shock at the idea that Australia was actually going to be represented at this year’s Contest in Vienna, they were then presented with the news that Guy Sebastian would be the one doing the representing.<\/p>\n

It was a choice met with mixed reviews, with a lot of ESC fans thinking a much more radical choice could have, and should have been made.\u00a0 Others meanwhile conceded that, although a safe choice, Guy has a substantial following in Europe, and given his credentials (Guy won the initial Australian Idol competition, way back in 2003, and has since gone on to a very successful career, including serving as judge on Australian X Factor), he seemed a viable, if a teeny bit bland, choice.<\/p>\n

Opinions are still divided now Guy has revealed his song.\u00a0 Entitled, “Tonight Again”, it’s an up-tempo soul\/pop blend with a hint of Bruno Mars about it.\u00a0 Sebastian had initially thought to go with a power ballad, to showcase his voice, but found that many ESC songs are mid-tempo pop songs.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Monday, he said,<\/p>\n

“When it came time to decide on a song,\u00a0I\u00a0thought since\u00a0I had a couple of days off in Australia I would try and write something new. But if\u00a0I was to record a new song\u00a0I wanted it to be home-grown and organic with my band in my studio,”<\/p>\n

“Truly, we jumped in the studio and let it happen because\u00a0I\u00a0wanted to write something fun! \u00a0We\u00a0all have moments you don’t want to end and you wish you could live those moments every day so I wanted to write a song about that feeling. I am sure that is how I am going to feel when I am in Vienna performing.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

What do you think of Guy’s song?\u00a0 Do you think Australia has picked a winner?<\/p>\n
