Australia has won the international Karaoke World Championships final in Finland for the third year in a row.
Michael Bates blitzed the crowd to claim the title after five elimination rounds at Finland's premier entertainment centre, Lahti Hall, this weekend.
Anthony Garcia from the UK placed a very close second with Medhanie Mezgebe from Sweden taking out third place. Juliet Gonnet from France won the womens title with Elaine O'Halloran from Ireland in second place & Jasmine Kara from Sweden in third. 33 singers from over 20 different countries competed in this year's event.
Reigning Womens Karaoke World Champion 2007, Australia's own, Julie Walter-Sgro, was onstage to present Michael with his trophy and her title to the new Womens Champion.
The celebrations continued into the night with a spectacular indoor fireworks display and concert by Finland's 2008 Eurovision Finalists, Teräsbetoni.
Michael has won thousands of dollars in cash and prizes including a recording deal.
