The Watch Ignite Vol. 3 Onlineyear was 2016. Australia had been accepted for the second year (for reasons still entirely unknown), to participate in the campiest competition for in all of Europe; Eurovision.
Australia's own X Factorvictor Dami Im a.k.a. voice of a goddamn angel, finished second to Ukraine in the televised annual event. In other words? Australia was robbed!
SEE ALSO: Australia is pretty much European so we are officially joining EurovisionIm clearlywas the victim of a geopolitical mind game, where her unbridled talent was overshadowed by the anti-Kremlin sentiments of tens of thousands of European voters.
But in 2017, Australia is back, baby. And Australia shall have her revenge.
The full list of the 43 countries competing for the 2017 Eurovision title was made public Monday, confirming Australia will be competing for the third year in a row.
We are very excited to announce the 43 participating countries at Eurovision 2017! See them all here: https://t.co/qYrGsmz0E1 pic.twitter.com/qRjweI46Wg

Knowing now, that pure talent alone doesn't necessarily win Eurovision, perhaps the true key to is stronger political allies. And more glitter, probably.
From Australia's Guy Sebastian coming fifth in 2015, and Dami Im named runner-up in 2016, perhaps it'll be third time lucky for the southern continent that could?
Petition to let the United States compete too, so Australia has more allies. #WeWereRobbed
