The performance started out where many of us know Goodrem best, as she sat behind the piano.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The singer wore a silver sparkling gown for the occasion, with her hair out in loose waves around her shoulders.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Millennials across the country who were up early instantly knew what those opening chords were, the start of her 2022 hit, Born to Try.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The acoustic set showcased her talents as athletes and flags from the competing countries started to fill the stage around her.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Things ramped up and she quickly moved into her Eurovision<\/a> banger Eclipse, along with other hits like Lost Without You, Wings and Warrior.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As she belted out the powerful ballad, the crowd was up and dancing, clapping to the beat and really getting into it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But there was still one surprise up her sleeves.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Goodrem called singer Cammy Barnes to the stage as the opening chords for the John Farnham hit, The Voice rang out through the area.\u00a0<\/p>\n
