With mere months to go until Europe — and Australia — head to Rotterdam for the 2020 Eurovision Song Contest, who will be representing us?

Jaguar, whose real name is Deena Lynch, told the ABC she turned to writing about her experiences when she realised how cathartic doing so could be.

"It got to the point where music and art became an integral part of my life in terms of it being a cathartic process so that it's not contained within me," she said. "For me, I struggled for a really long time because there was so much shame and denial in my culture and in society in general that it made it really hard for me to start processing trauma or healing and letting myself deserve a life that I should be leading, because of the stigma attached to mental health.

"[But through music], I can have conversations with myself, and I can understand myself better and then take the steps necessary to improve on myself."I really hope people [learn] that we all deal with mental health as we do physical health, and we shouldn't feel so much shame about talking about it."

These views have informed her attitude going into the live final:"Life is so short and you should be grabbing experiences by the balls and going for it."Diana Rouvas — Can we Make HeavenIf she makes it through Australia Decides to the Eurovision Song Contest, she will be performing for hundreds of millions across the globe.

bossito !!!

If it ain't TISM, I ain't interested.

Wonder when the penny will drop and they'll realize we are not part of Europe?

Having Australia compete in Eurovision is like having transwomen compete in women's sports. Ridiculous.

How the hell is Australia in this competition. The name of the competition would disqualify and make Australia ineligible straight away. Thanks for your support 😊

Who cares. There’s no football involved hahaha
