Australia's Eurovision Entrant Go-Jo Misses Grand Final in Basel

Australia's Eurovision 2025 entrant, Marty Zambotto, known as Go-Jo, performed his song "Milkshake Man" in the second semi-final in Basel, Switzerland but failed to qualify for the grand final. The performance featured flamboyant costume changes and theatrical staging that highlighted themes of self-confidence and self-expression, reflecting Go-Jo's intent to inspire audiences to embrace their individuality. Despite his viral success and strong social media following, including his previous hit "Mrs Hollywood" which gained over a billion views, the international audience did not advance him to the final round. Ten countries, including Lithuania, Israel, and Austria, progressed from the semi-final, while Australia, along with several others, was eliminated. Go-Jo expressed pride in his performance and emphasized the importance of making his team and country proud, valuing the smiles and positive reactions from the audience. Australia's Eurovision journey continues as the event progresses towards the grand final scheduled for May 18, 2025, broadcast on SBS.
