After a recent spike in popularity, Australian singer Shannon Noll has been announced as a member of Australia’s jury of voters for this year’s Eurovision Song Contest. Noll will be side-by-side with celebrated radio host and Spicks and Specks alumnus Myf Warhurst, Play School’s Monica Trapaga, producer/engineer Craig Porteils and former Channel V (too soon?) host James Mathison.
Noll, the subject of a growing contingency of Facebook “memes”, has just recently played at Ballarat’s Mojo Lounge in the midst of a regional tour of Australia, no doubt to capitalise on his current popularity. We’ll definitely be tuning in to the contest this year to see if Shannon will vote for the underdog and rectify the mistake many think the Australian Idol judges made on that fateful night in 2003.
