Sydneyvision Song Contest 2013
Sydney's celebration of cheesy music and hyperlocal patriotism is back.
Overview
Inspired by Eurovision that all-singing, all-dancing, over-the-top, glittery European extravaganza is Sydney's version, the Sydneyvision Song Contest. One of the main differences between the two (apart from massive geographical distance), is that Sydney's take is all about the music video rather than live performances like its European older sister. This might explain the venue, which is a cinema.
With strict guidelines for contestants to up the cheese factor while singing lyrics that include a Sydney suburb, expect both those who can and can't sing to be in it.
Organised by the Newtown Neighbourhood Centre, (with the support of Dendy Newtown), Sydneyvision suggests that you be prepared for some, quite frankly, bizarre music videos (and some musical satire), such as last year's Bollywood entry about Harris Park. So, go and cheer on your suburb, and fingers crossed there's some fine dancing that takes a leaf from Moldova's book.
