You know what guys? I think the more I listen to this song the more and more I like it! Anyone can relate??

[@thingybob4375]

Really glad you are enjoying the Eurovision content. Enjoy your reactions too. Hope you get to explore the diversity of ESC even more, especially the visuals. Remember, at the end of the day, this is a TV show and visuals count for a lot. Here are a couple of recommendations :Sweden 2015: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6SqgKp8i7qIZqs and Russia 2016: https//kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2qXlaaqZ5V2b7s By the way, if you can't access videos try using a VPN, that should give you full access to all ESC content

Hey man, I think you will appreciate this song kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6nVdKKZn9Kpbdk Jaguar Jonze is an alternative indie rock artist that came 6th in Australia's selection 2020, but Eurovision fans all wanted her to win. She is very edgy - the song is about her complex PTSD

[@neukenuk]

That's was the Final performance.... Australia started taking part in Eurovision in the 60 year of the competition and it has been broadcast to Australia for decades so they were invited.

[@lucille5649]

She is wonderful

[@lostfigure3703]

It"s most definitely a grower! I didnt like it at back when i heard it in 2019, but i'm still putting it on repeat!

[@scorp1740]

This song deserved so much more than 9th place. Should definitely have been top 3

[@yungbratthekilla3864]

The song was too weird and she did some weird vocals that sounded so out of tune I showed this to my friends they cringed loved the performance they said it was the best thing I’ve ever seen but the worst thing I’ve ever heard

[@lostfigure3703]

Yessss! The song is a banger! I still religiously listen to it on Spotify!

[@Cliodhna-z1i]

@@yungbratthekilla3864 out of tune? Laughed so hard at that

[@skyb4297]

Also, this performance is the perfect example why you should watch real Eurovision performances instead of national final, because before the contest, this song was not that popular, but after seeing the whole package/performance on stage at rehearsals, many even thought it could win. She came 9th at the end :) And yes, the very great thing about Eurovision is that there is no limits as far as style of music, literally anything goes and was most likely done at some point.. well except only instrumental ones, there must be at least some lyrics in it :)

[@msmoon4437]

Totally agree, I thought it would win after i saw the preformance, wasn't my favorite tho

[@jeanpeuxplus7257]

Such an underrated 9th place! She deserved at least Top 3. Amazing vocal, can you imagine yourself singing that way moving on a pole 5 meters high above the ground? And she's gorgeous with that white dress! Dami Im is my favorite, but Kate is very close behind

[@danfrost3043]

Not only nailing the vocals but being up so high AND knowing how to use that pole to swing in time.

[@tammibrown1286]

They are on what's called sway poles. They are created by an Australian company Strange Fruit. 🙂

[@matskooge2722]

Australia is in Eurovision for some reasons, but most of all because Eurovision was already heavily viewed by Australians before they even participated. I even thought the country outside of the competition/Europe with the most viewers.

[@prudencepineapple9448]

It's been televised 'live' for over 40 years in Australia.

[@edng5964]

Australia was watching the streams of Eurovision for years. Eurovision organisers noticed and invited Australia as a guest in 2015 for their 60th contest. They loved Australia's performance, and have been invited back since but now must compete like the other countries.

[@katherinemorelle7115]

I do t think anyone else has mentioned this- Kate wrote this song about overcoming postnatal depression. Knowing what it’s about adds another dimension to the song, I think.

[@PrincessGold1]

Australians just love the madness, kookiness, and just plain interesting, and we've been watching it for decades as ESC's nonEuropean greatest fans and tragics. So we got invited to join!

[@skyb4297]

Yes, you got the right one this time! :) Australia has been watching and loving Eurovision ever since the 80s, but since they are not member of European Broadcasting Union (EBU), they were not allowed to compete. Due to continued popularity, EBU first decided to invite them to perform as interval act in 2014, and every year since that, they got invitation to compete, up until at least 2023.

[@datboireggie5285]

Thats awesome! It puts a smile on my face thinking about how the people felt when their country was finally able to enter they have loved for so long!! :)

[@skyb4297]

@@datboireggie5285 I totally agree with you :) They must have been happy, when they finally got the green light to be a part of it. Especially, after they filmed a short segment that was aired during Eurovision in 2013, showing us in Europe how much they appreciate the contest. You can see it here, if you want: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZ3Egp2Bi5l_pbc

[@katherinemorelle7115]

Actually, Australia (through SBS) has been a member of the EBU since 1979. So they should have been eligible to compete ever since then. They didn’t because though they were a member of the EBU, they weren’t actually European. But neither is Israel. So if they’re allowed in, Australia should be too. Though if Australia wins, they don’t host the next year, mostly because the financial and logistical issues with being on the other side of the world. I’m not sure if they would nominate a European country to host, or if hosting goes automatically to whoever comes second.

Semi final performances will do too if available... its just that there is always a huge difference in production value between the actual show and National finals

[@klaseniusproductions7591]

Except the Swedish national final

[@ronnopotter]

All the recommendation I read in this post are excellent, hope you react to them or at least the most you can. I will add to them Australia 2016 "sound of silence" by Dami Im and Armenia 2016 "lovewave" by Iveta Muckuchyan. Thank you, your reaction was great, you got really surprised when you found out the trick.

[@Adara007]

Kate Miller-Heidke is a brilliant singer. She's classically trained and a professional song-writer having written and sung in operas and musicals and she's recorded numerous brilliant contemporary pop albums. She often writes and performs with her husband, singer and guitarist, Keir Nuttall with whom she co-wrote new music and lyrics for the musical theatre version of Muriel's Wedding. Anyone who loved her Eurovision performance should check out her songs and albums which are superb!

[@jembozaba4864]

Her music is fantastic. But it’s NOTHING compared to watching her live. Seen her about 4 or 5 times. Love her to bits.

[@user-ds9pg7zh7f]

Please, react to Ukraine 2016 (Jamala -1944) and Latvia 2015 (Aminata - Love Injected)

[@ktelv2855]

Nice vid, i would recommend also watching Sweden Grand Final 2015, it won that year and was a great perfromance

Was boring 😋

[@user-vb5qr8ox6r]

Please, react to FIREWOMAN from Cyprus (2018) Eleni Foureira - Fuego And another weird thing from Israel (2018) Netta - Toy

[@bosko41]

Every country that's part of European Broadcast Union can participate on Eurovision. That's why Australia and some Asian countries participate on Eurovision.

[@guillermoabadsierracocom8751]

Thank you for this video

[@karenlittle8041]

Kate is opera trained. She wrote the song as well. The supports are called sway poles and were invented in Australia by a company called Strange Fruit. Imagine reaching those notes while swaying on a pole!

[@tudiseja]

If you like this kind opera act, then you need to react to Estonia in 2018 (Elina Nechayeva - La Forza).

[@mithrasrevisited4873]

He did not say that, he said operatic with standard voices behind it.

[@elliotarundella7581]

@@mithrasrevisited4873 yes but la forza is amazing

[@AriaKate-yp5dj]

Get behind Kate for an Aria 2021 by listening to her new album Child in Reverse

[@thomasfeasey8234]

Just letting you know that Australia is part of the commonwealth so that could possibly be why we are in the ECS

[@katherinemorelle7115]

Actually, it’s because we are a member of the European Broadcasting Union, and have been since 1979. Membership on the EBU is what qualifies a country to compete. It’s why Israel is in there too, even though they aren’t European either, nor are they part of the Commonwealth.

[@hanah112233]

You should react to Sergey Lazarev-You Are The Only One (Russia) Grand Final Eurovision 2016

[@bucketslash11]

spoiler: Estonia 2018 is possibly the highest note ever sung in eurovision

[@matskooge2722]

Great video! If you have enjoyed OG3NE, I would recommend to check them out at Eurovision as well: OG3NE - Lights and Shadows (Eurovision Final 2017).

Yeeah, nice reaction 👍 Can you please react to Eurovision 2016 Russia Sergey Lazarev - You Are The Only One and Eurovision 2016 Armenia - Iveta Mukuchyan - LoveWave. These ones are epic, too!

That was not her family just supporters. Australia is far away and they had a groups to help her. Others could have fans much easier.
