Kate Miller-Heidke | Zero Gravity | Australia Official Video | Eurovision 2019 | Reaction

[@fiyerolee]

I wish you had access to the Eurovision Grand Final version of this. But i think it's blocked in the US. It's an incredible performance. She essentially performed the whole thing on the same flexible pole thing that the dancer at the back is on in this performance. Incredible control to sound so perfect whilst moving back and forth on one of those poles.

[@hollygranger3734]

Yeah that pole thing was amazing

[@hollygranger3734]

Popera is exactly what it is. She’s not my favourite but I appreciate her unique voice and talent

[@PeterAtkinson]

Yeah easily the best performance of this song.

[@stephenmcguire7079]

Wrong clip. The Eurovision final is better production and presentation when she is on the pole too

[@mssuziquzi]

@@stephenmcguire7079 agreed.

[@bigs1546]

So many Aussies aren't into genres - its good or it isn't -this genre is Kate Miller-Heidke

[@raylouis7013]

This is Kate... Trained Opera singer but went into writing and singing pop - like many Australian musicians she isn't bound to a particular genre, which makes her music much more experimental than US musicians can be.

[@56music64]

This song is about overcoming depression, post natal depression to be precise, which Kate suffered after the birth of her son. Her style of singing is uniquely her own. Yes pop opera here

[@TheChangeling]

So, I had the privilege of working on Eurovision - Australia Decides, and I can tell you that through all the rehearsals and performances of this number, and I think I can speak for most of the crew here, we all got goose bumps every single time! And I have to add, watching this performance live in the room was so much better. Keep up the great work mate! I'm really enjoying you react to our amazing Aussie talent!

[@flatandsplat]

So glad you've been acquainted with KMH. She my favourite singer. So talented! When she sang this at Eurovision, she was on one of those bendy things that the lady in the background was on. So, not only was she singing the song live, note perfect but moving around on a bend pole in sky using all her core muscles to control it. It was phenomenal. A fantastic song of hers is Vertigo where she sings pop opera and yodels.

[@dylanhopwood3773]

she as so many amazing songs and an amazing beautiful voice

[@smudgezoe]

So glad you been getting into Aussie music 🎶 hugs from Australia 🇦🇺

[@AbblittAbroad]

Have you heard her song ‘Caught in the Crowd’ about bullying? I think it’s her best.

[@Lynnie_14]

I know Kate personally and yes she truly is as lovely as she seems. She writes with her husband Keir Nuttal who is an exceptional musician too. He fronted a band named Transport back in 2001. They're a dynamic duo and don't ever stick to a particular genre. Folk music is a first love of Kate's although she's classically trained in voice through the Conservatorium Of Music here in Brisbane, QLD.

[@DebraBing]

It would have been great for you to see the final performance of this at Eurovision. It was visually stunning and she actually performed it on one of those bendy poles, as you see behind her in this. Love it all the same. Kate is very experimental and is really her own genre. The ABC Doco on her was called Out of The Box, because she doesn't like to be placed in one.

[@allieniner675]

Her dad and my dad were mates when they were teaching together. Honestly have always love Kate Miller Heidkes vocal range, absolutely amazing!

[@mssuziquzi]

The final version of this was much better than this. She was actually floating around on a pole like the one in the background while she was singing. It was incredible. The Eurovision contest is huge worldwide, watched by millions. She reminds me a little of Kate Bush.

[@tK-be6ns]

The semifinal one is better then the final for audio quality though.

[@mssuziquzi]

@@tK-be6ns Ok. I must admit I was taken more with the visuals.

[@klphotographer]

I was disappointed with the final tbh, because I felt like the augmented reality distracted from the AMAZING vocal performance on that damn pole. I actually think that let her down on the voting because the staging distracted from the quality song.

[@ange3489]

The whole effect is sooo much better in the Eurovision video! You need to watch that one for the full effect of this unique song/singer.

[@maryhanrahan]

I still think her best song which I could listen to over and over is 'The Last Day on Earth'

[@jenessalarge7621]

Kate is probably my fav singer. I'm an Aussie and I was in choirs for many many years as a teen and young adult so her style really appeals to me. She sings a lot of interesting and funny songs, many of which are covers, and very Aussie in nature. I just love it all. A lot of her music can be found on Spotify.

[@ladylynnmaree]

So this performance is from “Australia Decides” When Australia choose her to represent us, she upped her game and the staging was literally out of this world. If you are able to watch it at all it is sooo worth watching as she is literally on 12 foot pole singing and swaying and not missing a beat. And the visuals are brilliant

[@kayanester2771]

I really love her music, it’s a beautiful mix of funny and can bring you to tears.

[@martinandrewnewby1525]

The genre is Kate, nothing but Kate,she's ours get ya own

[@andrewsoos2113]

I have seen her live 4 times. My wife had never seen her and I said to her "strap yourself in because she is jellignite". She is really humble and personable too and signed a cd for a friend"s birthday.

[@EbuGamer1]

Kata has a voice of a Angel. My Angel.

[@rachelmaree4069]

I adore her. Her voice is phenomenal. She wrote this song about her experience with postnatal depression.

[@HelenBeeee]

You are close its opera/pop/rock Kate is very experimental and its true what you said she is very playful and sometimes its on the edge of not working but it does work. I dont love her but I respect her experimental use of talent. PS: its fine too that you dont love her but appreciate her inventiveness and its true she can sing not even a question. Thanks for covering this one.

[@JusDeFruit999]

I got goosebumps rewatching this.

[@katherinemorelle7115]

Lovely Brissie girl- her dad was my high school principal. My favourite of hers is probably Words, live at the Arias. Or, Living in an Apartment, or Career Advice (live on Rockwiz). You can really get a sense for how very eccentric she is. There’s also Can’t Shake It, God’s Gift to Women, and I like you better when you’re not around. She’s definitely one of those singers that sounds best when singing her own songs. And she’s VERY eccentric. And very well trained. Another well trained Aussie soprano is Katie Noonan. You might like her cover of Heart’s a Mess, or Breathe in Now or Special Ones that she did with her band, George.

[@FridayKetchup]

Gosh yes! Career Advice!

[@MrsBazzy]

The final for this gives me goosebumps, was a winning performance for me. But I love Queen Kate. My fave of hers is "Words"

[@nicolaj3294]

Yes Nick, opera pop is pretty accurate. This song is about the black cloud of depression and coming out of a fog, hence the person in black behind her. She's very quirky with her own style but has a fantastic voice

[@JoSedunary]

Popera !! Her quirky side does remind me of Kate Bush...mixed with opera.... Kate is one of a kind.. clearly haha...

[@Miss-Katie]

I can suggest two other Aussie Kate's, Kate Cebrano & Katie Noonan.

[@helen9806]

More than anything, I think this genre is Eurovision.

[@jadeitegray3531]

Australia has been great in Eurovison, Guy and Jess mauboy have both sung for us at EV but Dami Im was the best hands down

[@roneasaurus]

Dami Im was the best of them.

[@aida_b4378]

I second this!

[@meganlawson4575]

You'll understand her better if you hear her sone, "Last day on Earth"

[@PeterAtkinson]

Her best song is still O Vertigo. Got to check out the performance with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. It’s brilliant! 👍👍

[@DebraBing]

Love that performance! I've actually requested that on another channel l support so hoping to see it soon!

[@PeterAtkinson]

@@DebraBing oh that’s great. What channel is it? I would love to check it out. 🤓

[@DebraBing]

@@PeterAtkinson oops sorry if you got that deletion, wrong person. It's not been done yet, l've just requested it through Patreon, but l'll come back and shoot you a link when it's uploaded. 🤞🤞 Have you seen the Australian Story on Kate?

[@jodsternic]

Kate is classically trained in opera. An amazing singer and songwriter.

[@mattd9274]

You have to see the performance from the grand final

[@jemxs]

She has created her own genre!

[@TheGrebMagiks]

She performed a fantastic version of 'I will Survive' by Gloria Gayner on the Australian version of The Masked Singer. Well worth a reaction.

[@robynclarke5274]

You didn't see the version where Kate and two others were on poles swaying all over the stage. You've got to see it.

[@grantdouglas632]

Kate has done a beautiful version of " I wanna dance with somebody " 💕

[@tommay6590]

Check out Estonia’s Eurovision entry to 2018 if you want to hear/listen to opera pop, while this more pop with opera singing -)

[@Rosannasfriend]

I think she’s absolutely brilliant. Ha ha. I totally get her now thanks to this song. She does what Sarah Brightman tries to do only she’s much more exciting than Sarah Brightman. I love it! This is how you mix opera and pop. Dimash sometimes does something like this, but he’s all over the place in different genres and that’s cool. Thank you for introducing her to me a week ago, and coming back so soon!

[@wadecolbranthomas]

Oh no! I wish you reacted to the Eurovision version. Just change your VPN

[@timothywalsh2619]

Kate Miller-Heidke = The Queen of Popera

[@mrpuniverse2]

Kate is the only human to sing at the New York opera company Coachella, Eurovision and stage musical she is phenomenal. She would be considered operatic pop she plays piano and also write some varied styles ballads humourous songs and pop Explore Last Man On Earth Gods Gift To Women Deluded to name a few

[@lindatelese9149]

This line killed me. “I don’t know what she’s standing on? 700 people, whatever.” 😂😂😂 Awesome singer!

[@taniaphillips3881]

Did you ever do Last Day on Earth?

[@b.b6372]

HEY! If you want to hear the most incredible voice from Eurovision, may I suggest you to watch : "Elina Nechayeva - La Forza (Estonia, Grand Final, LIVE, Eurovision 2018)" The last notes are out of this world! I PROMISE YOU'LL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!

[@IH8COMERCIALRNB]

It's staccato , it's not scatting. She's known for her opera pop style.

[@saffronwalsh1359]

You should also check out my dear friend LUKE OSHEA - NO DAY LIKE TODAY .. he is an Aussie singer and songwriter .. amazing lyricist too

[@eviehanlon1445]

The other version is better, but thanks for reacting to our Kate. I don't think it's an actual genre, I think she's just doing her thing. I don't think anyone else really does it and you either like her music or you don't. :)

[@robertashton8533]

Reminds me of the 5th element

When people ask for a specific reaction, should provide the right link.

I'm out here requesting something you already did 2months ago 😮‍💨🤦‍♀️ I need to update my request 😂😂😂😂

[@orlielf]

Another song of hers that’s more ‘pop’ is the last night on earth it might not throw you so much

[@geetee4459]

popera is a cool term lmao ;)

[@tamaravanhees1749]

Songs awesome but the Eurovision Final has far better staging than The Australia Decides version.

[@glynisbailey9616]

The performances at Eurovision (Semi's and Finals) was so much better than this (she was on the floating pole too, with 2 backup performers) - though her amazing voice is still amazing here. But lets be honest there is a reason she received the artistic award at Eurovision 2019 - you need to watch that version. It's one of my favourite Eurovision performances in the last 15 years.

[@benniejoel4652]

I dont know what's she's standin' on! 700 people? Whatever! 😂😂😂😂

[@56music64]

Hi TSR, two more brilliant Aussie singers for you. The first song, written by Leon Russell and was a hit by Karen Carpenter, the second song is a brilliant and some say better version of a Beatles hit: Colleen Hewitt followed by Doug Parkinson kzbin.info/www/bejne/fl7Kc5KtjNt3fqs kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIaVdYaojp50bNU

[@taniaphillips3881]

Yep Popera - and no you didn't make it up.

[@gamortie]

Popera

[@gavinholt5428]

Not my favourite performer, although she did rock at Eurovision.

[@tareskisloki8579]

Kate doesn't really fit any set genre, she has songs like Sarah, Caught In the Crowd and Last Day on earth that are almost ballads, songs like Words, Mama, Little Roots, Can't shake, etc it that are pop, songs like Humiliation and O'Vertigo that are popera, then there are tracks like the Facebook Song, the Toowoomba song, Christmas Landfill, Beard downstairs, etc that are straight comedy.

[@Nah-ah]

I’ve only ever liked one of her songs (Last Day on Earth) , she’s too quirky for me. I like Dami Im more than Kate!

[@TheKwod]

She can clearly sing.....but this is a bit artsy.

[@suave-rider]

Its a typical Eurovision song

[@flamestergirl]

That's a Eurovision hallmark, it's part of the magic of the song contest.

[@TheKwod]

@@flamestergirl if you say so...

[@ellefitzpatrick6339]

Give me a word to describe any vocalist…… “Artsy” 😂
