Sadly, this isnt about a mud wrestling match between those three. What this is about is the startling lack of Australian talents that make it big overseas.
Think about it, since Australia was founded as a nation, there have been so few musical talents that have not only made it big here but have gone on to conquer either USA or Britain (or both). We get flooded with talents (or un-talents, depending on which way you look at it) from USA. Admittedly we don't get as much from britain but I can still name a few that made it big here. We speak the same language, we are as socially "advanced" as these other countries, so why isnt our music as big?
Anyhow, vote for whichever one did the best. I'm open to you're thoughts on this.
*edit* I think I its supposed to be Dame Nelly Melba, not Melly, but its too late now... sorry.
