The audience engagement with this song gives me goosebumps. She can’t see them through the lights, everyone is staring at the ceiling to see her and yet she feels like she’s making eye contact with every single person in the room. EVERYTHING about this performance is perfection.

[@WickedMalady]

I was at the audience and actually you could see her very well in front of you if you were on the sitting area because that area was already much higher than the stage. You could see her way better than any other show on the final, and I think she got close enough during the spinning part that she was able to go through the lights and actually see the people. It isn't seen in the video but in real life it's without the space effects and it looks so awesome because she comes super close to the audience at the seats, it felt like she was right in your face and you could almost touch her even though she was far. It was a very magical experience, the video version is like 5% of how amazing it was to watch this in real life, it had the most audience engagement in the whole show. But for the people who were on the standing area super close to the stage, yeah they had to look up, but they were only a very small part of the whole audience.

[@SilverStrumer]

They’re a European colonised country if that helps? Kate herself is of European heritage.

[@JJfanz]

Kate is an effing legend. I don't know how many times I've watched this. Let's talk about it: 1) the song first - it may be polarising, but it has enormous emotional range as well as vocal range. The lyrics are brief but they discuss the journey out of depression, triggered by her own realisations about post-natal depression after the first of her son. She and her husband Keir have refined that down to simple words describing fundamental ideas (as befits Eurovision), emphasising the journey back to life and out into space, and married that to a soaring lift-off half-way through the song, and a joyful, transcendent ending. There are so many musical ideas crammed in here, right down to the careful construction of the harmonies, that it does need repetition to 'get' this song - although clearly the sing-a-long crowd at the venue didn't have to hear it too many times to latch onto the chorus. 2) the delivery. It's not just that it's pitch perfect, or close as, and delivered on top of a long pole. It's her perfect control. If you watch some of the more informed reaction videos, you'll see the various 'vocal coaches' raving about the movement between her head voice and her street voice, but it's more than that. Her microphone technique is superb. Her facial expressions. Her breathing. She's not just a classically trained pop/alternative singer on a stick, she's a real professional. Close your eyes, forget the staging, and listen. 3) the staging. Have you ever seen something so breathtakingly bold? At the national final in Australia, it blew us away, even though it was a static presentation. Here, on bendy poles that she had to learn to perform on to a level of confidence where she could sing and get the choreography right without compromise, the song takes off and blasts us to space. There are plenty of 'why didn't she win? comments here. Forget them. The winner was a great song, and so was Norway's. It's not *ever* about who gets the most points, it's about what you bring into the world to make it a better place. Kate's song and performance were on another level, and will be remembered in a different way, which is why she won the artistic prize. Once seen, never forgotten. Legend, Kate, absolute effing legend.

[@JC-pg3cy]

she has amazing vocals and pitch. She handles herself so eloquently up there on the pole. I'll admit, the first time I heard this song I didn't like it, but then I gave it a a few more shots and now I'm obsessed! There is so much to like about this song! I then listened to the Acoustic version and WOW. All her other songs are magnificent. Love love

[@taniaphillips9766]

The moment it was announced we''d get to compete I always hoped that someone would be smart enough to say hey Kate and Keir show us what you've got. I have loved her music for a long time (and Keirs slightly longer - Space you Cannot touch is pretty much the best love song ever written) this was so brilliant and as a mum who had that demon - so important. The winner was great Norway was spectacular but this was the moment having Australia there made sense. PS still want to see Electric Fields do this.

They were 7th in televoting and 6th in the jury. It was weird seeing them on 9th place despite those results but Australia should be proud.

[@DiabolicalPaperClip]

There was such a contrast between the televote and jury this year that getting equal enough votes for a certain position didn't guarantee anyone that place anymore because of how muddled up everyone else's placings were. For example, KEiiNO from Norway came 1st with the televote but 16th with the jury, so they wedged themselves into 5th overall. Whereas Lake Malawi from Czechia came 7th with the jury but 24th with the televote so they fell down to 11th. It's definitely a weird year.

Sorry, but you are wrong, Not "televote once again" but the jury voting songs that ppl don't like or agree that they are not that good. Because of the jury, some countries went so up that took places they didn't deserve, making other countries go down. Now have a look: Australia's televote: 131 Jury: 154 (not much difference) N. Macedonia's televote: 58 Jury: 237 Who makes Australia go down to the 9th place? The Jury, not the televote. Sweden's televote: 93 Jury: 239 Who makes Australia lose one more place? The Jury, once again!
