Viewers flocked to early morning Live Eurovision to see if Delta could bring the glass trophy home for Australia.
Delta Goodrem brought a huge boost to viewing of the Eurovision Song Contest for SBS, and it was all centered around the Live early morning broadcast.
The Live broadcast drew 464,000 in National TV Audience as viewers amassed to see if Delta could bring the glass trophy home for Australia.
