It's known for the crazy costumes and daggy dance moves, but surprisingly, the Eurovision song contest can also take credit for a few successful musical careers.
Without Eurovision there would be no ABBA — the first Eurovision winners to go on to find superstardom after their 1974 win with a song called Waterloo and Celine Dion was unheard up in the English-speaking world before her 1988 victory.
In 2013, Bonnie Tyler went the other way, after turning down the gig in 1983 but hitting the Eurovision stage 30 years later.
And now, on our first invitation, our very own Guy Sebastian is set to take the stage to perform in front of all of Europe.
We know he'll do us proud.
