Week 111: Eurovision Randy Week! #1 - Kate Miller-Heidke - Zero Gravity

[@KathyClysm]

Listen boys, the Aussies have been getting up at 5am to watch for decades now, they've earned the right to submit corny madness just like the rest of us! 😂

[@tetama2agani]

the most extra entry that Australia sent to Eurovision and also one of the most memorable one

[@anssia3123]

"That was so weird and I loved it" is basically Eurovision in a nutshell

[@ronnopotter]

Australia knows exactly how to Eurovision. They were invited in 2014 and since 2015 they have been taking part of the contest. I think this specific entry, represents exactly the concept of Zero Gravity, I can't imagine a better staging. So memorable and epic. Fun fact, during the shows the hosts always says "good evening Europe, good morning Australia" because at the time of the show in Australia is already the next day, in the morning.

[@thelawgreens]

One of the best staging of any Eurovision song ever! ❤

[@mickdoonan9339]

Agree, if this was Italy, France or Spain they would have won

[@esckeenyah]

Personalny for me one of the most ridiculous

[@barawen_who]

​@@mickdoonan9339Spain? Really? 😅

[@Megacillin23]

The thing is that she is not getting tossed around but that she stirrs the sticks with her own movement so it's even more impressive imo.

[@vohol6158]

That's mad, sounds extremely difficult. And she's not just whirring around randomly but doing it in an artistic way. And performing vocals at the same time? Wow.

[@Pbatzeris]

I really appreciate how one of you focuses on the vocals of the singers while the other comments on the production aspects like stage, cameras, lighting, etc. It's a perfect balance! Keep up the awesome work!👍🏾

[@avatara82]

This is what every countries juries need

[@s961201]

I was there - in the pit - one of my greatest eurovision audience experiences ever!

[@catrionacolville2192]

One of my favourite entries of all time. I would have traded my kidney to be in the pit for that. Glad you loved the experience!

[@vohol6158]

But how did you get in and out of the pit? Or are you still there?

[@s961201]

@@vohol6158 🤣🤣

[@thelawgreens]

The footage from the audience is great to watch.

[@elizabethscott7660]

When you know she wrote this song about her recovery from Post Natal Depression it becomes much more meaningful. The lyrics, her soaring voice, everything conveys the elation of coming back into the light.

[@Nantana2211]

This still made me smile so bright. The way you don't know whats happening at first and then they really defy gravity and everything makes sense. Beautiful beautiful stage and song!

[@EnergyCuddles]

The kind of core strength and stability, and discipline, that you have to have to not only control your movement on those springy sticks, but also sing staccato soprano notes in-tune at the same time ... when I saw that performance live, my jaw was on the floor and I was TERRIFIED that something was going to go VERY wrong. My mum (who has many years of experience singing as soprano in a choir) had to leave the room, she was that nervous for Kate! I voted for Australia that year.

[@mkitten13]

My favourite Australian entry, it's so extra!

[@yotambenhaim7271]

So now that you are already Eurovision fans, did you know that the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 will take place next week?? The semi-finals on Tuesday (5.7) and Thursday (5.9), and the grand final on Saturday (5.11) at 21:00 European time. For the first time since you started reacts to Eurovision songs, you have the opportunity to feel a real Eurovision experience and even vote for the songs you liked! (Since last year, all the countries of the world that do not participate are allowed to vote and everything is pooled to vote in the name of "the rest of the world"). And maybe even take a video yourself reacting live to the show and the songs? That might be a nice idea. I don't know if the Eurovision is broadcast somewhere in America but I'm sure you can find a way to watch it 😁

[@authentiekaziatisch5949]

Agree! 😊 they should watch Eurovision 2024 next week somehow to get the full experience!

[@karinseregni221]

Kate you absolute Queen

[@jeanpeuxplus7257]

This should end at least in the Top 5! Great entry from Australia

[@AmaanStorm]

Personally the best Australian eurovision entry is by Dami Im, "Sound Of Silence". I also really loved "Promise" by Voyager.

[@vaseline69]

for me Kate and Demi are tied in first I can't separate them.

[@AmaanStorm]

@@vaseline69 yes Kate was great. She actually surprised me because I really didn't like the song, but her performance and vocals really changed my perception of the package she brought to Eurovision.

[@vaseline69]

@@AmaanStorm yeah I was so glad the didn't use the original staging from the Australian heats to enter

[@Andjelka99]

This is one of my all time favourite preformances. I can't believe she did that, that high up rocking. Also they came in in 2015 swinging hard, scored so good for a while people were afraid they win immediately after joining 😂😂

[@taniaploumi7634]

Please be our American broadcasters for Eurovision!!!

[@sabineworner5202]

Yeah!!!!!❤

[@amani8008]

Australians are nice, they take our european jokes with grace, they wake up super early in the morning to watch eurovision and, most importantly, they treat Eurovision with respect. And we love them for that. I'm not sure if americans would do the same sometimes 🤨😂 but jokes aside, I love your reactions of eurovision content!! Please follow eurovision 2024. You won't regret it. Ps. Is true that lot of Americans don't now anything about the contest, and sometimes they can be american-centric and they say things like "i don't understand the lyrics so i don't like it" but true american eurofan are the best of all eurofan in my opinion, they have the best podcasts/youtube channels, the best takes and they are soo knowledgeable about tje the contest. So you americans are great in that, when you are passionate about something you go big, and you do it right!! God bless America 🇺🇸 I guess 😂

[@TiagoSilvaESC]

Ahah just so you know the reason Australia was invited is bc they have been broadcasting Eurovision for the past 30 years, USA only started recently and i think Canada did it once or twice😅this performance was bananas and solidified why we need them at the contest❤

[@robertmurray8763]

AUSTRALIA has been in the European Television Union since the 1950s, and that's why AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺 got invited to participate in Eurovision!!

[@geetee4459]

How this amazing song and performance didn't win I will never understand.

[@ColClaridge-Leitch]

Australia's flavour at Eurovision has existed even before we started competing. Some Australians have competed in the past for other countries: Gina G (UK), Olivia Newton-John (UK), Jane Comerford (lead singer of Texas Lightning Germany) and of course Mr Eurovision himself, Johnny Logan was born in Australia. It's so good Australia can stand there in their own right now.

[@aleksjagiello]

No Keiino? This week! Epic show and number in 2019! You have to Watch! 🇳🇴

[@ronnopotter]

Absolutely!

[@Momo-rv6en]

The real Eurovision 2024 is next week!

[@sabineworner5202]

This is so Eurovision. Australia got it. 🎉

[@wkwtse]

love this reaction! and there are several fans' 'live'/camera videos from inside the stadium on here of how this looked for the live audience...

[@PetraElliottCreates]

“I’ve heard good things about Melbourne, it’s in the south, it’s got reasonable temperatures”. 😂 😂 Melbournian here, I literally just made a hot water bottle and it only just hit 5pm. I mean it is winter, but hearing him say that as I’m sipping on hot tea trying to warm up got me lolling.

[@entropy22]

Such a strong song with great message.

[@wkwtse]

As an Australian Eurovision fan - I love this video so much!

[@silverstitch28]

We have the highest European diaspora outside of europe which was why we were invited plus we have SBS tv and it simulcast to us for decades.

[@LindaMaricas]

That was an ...interesting choice of top 5 for 2019, from the same year you should also see Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Switzerland and Italy (in no particular order) :) Oh, or Azerbaijan actually

[@luisfilipe9272]

2016 was the best, sound of silence.

[@streptococcus1]

The most European Australian entry. Weird but I love it

[@adas9848]

You should do this during the post Eurovision depression time. Now, we are all commenting rehearsals. Eurovision 2024 is next week. I did watch anyways, though. I loved Kate's performance.

[@ShookieL]

I'm visiting my friend in Seattle the end of June and we are 100% going to Chop Suey to see TransViolet!

[@ShookieL]

We'll be the two old people. 🤣🤣🤣

[@avatara82]

The song is about beating despression. And she isn't being tossed around she is creating the movement with her body...

[@GalaxyGirl777]

8:17 Oh, pressure’s on NZ now? Okay okay, brb, off to start a grassroots movement to get us in Eurovision. 😂

[@fabiocunha4921]

Eurovision 2024 is next week you should watch

[@ShookieL]

That was awesome! Love it!

[@tamaravanhees1749]

As someone who lives 1 1/2hrs to the west of Melbourne, it is a good city to visit, lots of things to do but to busy to live in for me. You guys should come in January and watch the Australian Open one year, i go nearly every year.

[@user-rn5tf3ij5k]

You guys should react to Eurovision 2024 Live! This year was so strong! Hard to choose Top 5, but My recommendations based and what I think you will enjoy: 1. Switzerland 2. Croatia 3. France 4. Greece 5. Ireland

[@saranissen6210]

Eurovision 3rd places top 5: 1. Italy 1987: Umberto Tozzi & Raf: Gente di Mare 2. Greece 2001: Antique: Die for you 3. Bosnia and Hercegovina 2006: Hari Mata Hari: Lejla 4. Switzerland 1993: Annie Cotton: Moi, tout simplement. 5. Denmark 1989: Birthe Kjær: Vi maler byen rød

[@2609israel]

Okay Australia you can stay never mind 😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@sianneish]

In the UK we don't have skunks, our badgers I think are different to yours and we've fairly recently reintroduced beavers. There are some people who want to reintroduce wolves, however our country has changed so much since they were last here.

[@pleegjepleegje]

Aussies just aren't the typical ignorant islanders like the Americans are 🙃 They know what's going on in the rest of the world. They were the biggest Eurovision fans for decades, while you had no clue about the existence of the worlds biggest annual music event. This was Australia's first entry, and they got second place. Canada isn't part of Eurovision, but Canadian Celine Dion once was. She represented Switzerland, she won, and that kickstarted her career as a singer 😊 I couldn't resist teasing you a little bit, but I really love your videos 🇺🇸 ❤❤❤🇺🇸

[@ozkanatasoy4392]

Thank youuuuu❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@hachimaki]

If I remember correctly the song is about her struggles of post partum depression.

[@tytllee]

You guys should make a reaction to the live show next week. I would watch the whole 4 h.

By the way if you watch this years Eurovision you guys can vote, because in 2023 they introduced the Rest of the World vote for fans outside the participating countries.

[@zsedzz]

Eurovision Underrated/Hidden Gems Week! :D I thought this could be a fun idea and would show you more of the variety of different songs there are in Eurovision! I picked a song from each of the last 5 Eurovision editions (2018-2023) that didn't do as well as I thought they should've. Obviously these are just my personal opinions, but I know some of my opinions are shared by many Eurovision fans :) 5. Hungary 2018, it finished 21st. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmfIYoejjsdmadk 4. Portugal 2019, it didn't make it to the final, 35th place overall. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXqqn2yVrrJ_pJY 3. Netherlands 2021, it finished 23th and got zero points from the public. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWSnkmiZp5eZitU 2. Armenia 2022, despite only finishing 20th, this is one of the most streamed Eurovision songs ever. kzbin.info/www/bejne/enKtZ6mcoqmSn8U 1. Germany 2023, it finished last in the final, 26th place. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqqqg2ePjNGDe9U

[@CallumboMagumbo]

The broadcast of this really didn't do the performance justice. I was in the audience for Kate's Semi performance and it was mind blowing watching her and her back up dancers move on those podiums - extremely impressive so it was sad to see she didn't get that demonstrated on TV

[@martaeonjames6671]

U guys should do Faith Evans Week ! # 1 -Soon As I Get Home #2- Love like This #3- Used To Love Me # 4- Never Gonna Let You Go # 5- I Love You

[@Kloika]

Love this performance, but no European would have put Australia at #1. EuroRandy must be from down under 😅 It's a strange thing to watch people watch things, but I'm here and now very invested in your blossoming love for Eurovision. So Eurovision 2024?!? It's this week - your chance to be the American broadcasters!

Europe doesn't have skunks, but racoons. They're relatively new and invasive, Population growing. We also used to have bears, but they are rare nowadays. Most Dangerous animal in Central Europe are boars... They are tough as hell!

Well, last year you guys had an American Song Contest, but that flopped, so there's too little interest in the song contest in the US.

Great performance. The song - it is a song contest. Well, wish it would have been a bit more melodic.

Australia has no skunks.
