Hot Albanian enricher, energy, catchy - easy (must capture attention from the first time, some better songs sometimes takes few times to grow on you, which is a minus in eurovision) song.

It is not necessary about artistics value of the song.

A guilty pleasure!

Just listened, no chance.

Even when I am listening last seconds of the song I do not even remember the tune of the chorus... So most of the people won't remember this song.

In order to win you need a song that you remember and can sing at least part of the chorus after it ended.

Australian song does not even remotely has that.

Super bland song, I do not remember anything 10 seconds after I finished listening.

And if I heard that song on the radio one hour later I would probably not register that I already heard this song just one hour ago.

Australia is through to the finals



Jessica Mauboy the singer I don't really like but she can sing. She's a product of the Idol franchise, and so choregraphed its sickening, once she's away from those contracts and being more of herself on a stage she will bloom, and fade of course. Her wholesome girl-next-door image has been great for the Australian indigenous community. Shes the girl that can currently do no wrong.

Go Jessica!

[rogueteens]

well, the worst song won as usual.

The Australian show is run buy an Government funded tv station for the old and intellectuals, and the contestants so far have all been Ex Idol, Xfactor winners.

From the Australian side it certainly looks like paid placement.

Australia was invited to Eurovision in 2015, since then we just keep pay inviting ourselves back. I think the Government thinks its good for tourism and the Idol franchise love European exposure of its money maker artists.

Our singers have always been in the top ten, this years finished 20th

Maybe its time for change, Australians don't take loss very well.

[MaDalton]

i love that the Israelian song won. especially through popular vote and not by critics vote.

Yep the biggest payers of TV rights go straight into the final as well.

Not EU (European Union), but Europe.

Point s still valid, just hate when people mix European union with Europe.

Israel participates in sports also in Europe's tournaments.
