I really want Dan Sultan to win, because not only is he an amazing performer and am I totally in love with him, but the limited press and accolades he received after last year's ARIA ceremony is shocking. However, Gurrumul is such an amazing artist and he has put out such a brilliant album this year.
Hi Shell...ta for the comments. All Dan fans should have a squizz at his Untidy Desk performance with Alexander Gow:
