Australia Decides: Jude York
Jude York
I Won't Need to Dream
Jude York made an attempt to make Australia Decided 2020 with his brother and was shortlisted, but did not make the top 10. Given another opportunity, Jude is now in the top 11. Go Jude

Eurovision 2021: Barbara Dex
And the Barbara Dex Award for worst dressed...
Actually the translation is now most notably or most strikingly dressed, which doesn't convey the horror that this award usually should bring. It possibly also explains why Bulgaria, the most plain dressed, did not rate in the top 5.
Fifth went to Israel, for her big reveal that was big revealing.
