Just have David Boon instead. Least he is an Aussie legend. And drunk those cans of ale 🍺 on the way to the UK
Many moons ago I worked for Zoo Weekly magazine. Boonie was a columnist for us but as he couldn't spell, I had to write it for him. I'd phone him up, get his opinion on whatever and write the column. Two things he absolutely refused to talk about - the 52 cans on the flight to the UK and any "lady chaperones" the team had while touring the Carribean.
Vlandys isn't with the times when it comes to gf entertainment. If he wants to attract new viewers you hire performers who are worldwide stars, not some bloke that hardly anyone has heard of, and has only one hit single
Chief, Benson Boone is known well in the music scene. Though not massive, he is bigger than most artist going around today. If you get Benson Boone that is not a bad get.
But not sure on whether if true or not since he is touring Australia but not til mid November.
Lb ill.bet 95% on here have never heard of Benson boom
Oh so this site is the demographic for Benson Boone? The bloke has 40+ million monthly listeners on spotify, has 9 shows booked in 3 states for his upcoming Australia tour and his recent album debuted no.1 in Australia. Though he is not massive, he is known within music circles. Of course older people who listen to the likes of Jimmy Barnes for example more likely do not know him as Boone's music is not the same so therefore is not on the stations that Cold Chisel would be playing on. He is big in USA, selling out concerts. He has three top 20 songs in USA. Again not massive, but big enough to sell out arena's.
There would be kids going to the game on Sunday, if Boone was to play, who would know him more than they would if Jimmy Barnes came out. It goes both ways.
Many here wouldn't of known Teddy Swims, he knocked it out of the park last year. Teddy Swims is only slightly bigger than Benson Boone at the moment as he has been on the seen only slightly longer. NRL are not just getting an older nostalgic artist to do the GF as it appeases an older male demographic where it feels like a pub concert who are more interested in the game anyway. Plus the NRL has never been able to attract top tier massive artists that ones here would know. Never have and never will. Even then if we did get say a Katy Perry like the AFL, everyone here would bitch and moan about that too.
Lb I've heard of two songs of his thsts it. Two songs doesn't mean you are known worldwide. He could be a flash in the pan and I heard he's from America idol. Mate he's been around for 10 minutes . Hes a tik tok star
Here is a bit of context for you Chef.
All time streams on Spotify:
#1 Taylor Swift - 129 billion streams
#7 Ed Sheeran - 60 billion streams
#33 Beyonce - 32 billion streams
#257 Benson Boone - 10 billion streams
#547 Tones And I - 5.8 billion streams

Benson Boone is not as unknown as you might think...
He is very early in his career, only two albums but has done pretty well for those albums.
Tiktok star? He was on American Idol, but then pulled out after he got a record deal. So you went from saying he was a one hit wonder, to now he has two songs? Also, since you have only heard two songs that is the indication to worldwide? I barely hear Drake myself, yet he is worldwide in terms of popularity.
Also, does two songs make you sell out 30,000 seat arena's in USA? Just wondering as he has done that from only two songs apparently.
