this was far and away the best song and vocal performance at Eurovision in the last decade. The best song will NEVER win Eurovision again once the public get to choose. this was no more evident than those screeching clowns who won last year.

She definitely got robbed. It’s like the Euro officials didn’t want Eurovision in Australia the following year 🤔

@@celticspike2522 well you clearly arent very diverse with your music taste, maneskin were great winners and absolutely deserved it

@Wik. He's a ignorant ass who has no taste for rock music, ignore him. Maneskin were the best winners since lordi. Seriously.

And they're both so iconic

kate was iconic and so eurovision, she was robbed

Jessica Mauboy was great but her grand final performance wasn't that good

I like Technicolor

I think its the best performance at Eurovision. EVER

Bro still lives in 2022 and just havent hear what they sent in 2023

And yes, I have watched every Eurovision since Australia has been involved, and many before that. I thought Journey were fabulous this year, and the crowds loved them, but I still think Dami was the one that got away and deserved to win. That is my opinion, bro, and doesn’t mean that I am wrong, just a different opinion from yours.

tbh my favorite is Kate Miller Heidke but Dami Im was also spectacular

Wenn man bedenkt, dass es nur ca. 20 Punkte waren, welche ihr den Sieg gekostet haben....es ist einfach traurig. Wir empfanden es sehr anstrengend der Ukraine überhaupt zu zuhören.

ich denke da haben politiker irgendwie einfluss auf das ergebnis genommen im vergleich zu vielen anderen liedern heute abend wahr die ukraine einfach nicht so gut, australien und auch russland wahren deutlich besser!

Australia is a wonderful asset to Eurovision and I think Australia really deserves to win at some point!

I think it is easier to do well when you're just starting or returning from a break. But the fact this didn't win makes me think it will be hard for Australia to ever win as they will always struggle in the televote.

Well isreal is also not in europe but hosted eurovision 4 times

@@normis1334 israel hosted three times (won four times tho)

I don't like this song at all

They are in fact allowed to win (because why wouldn't they?) and if they would win, they have an agreement with the EBU to team up with an European country to 'co-host' the ESC (like it will be the case next year with the UK and the Ukraine).

Australia can win, they will just have to choose another European country to Co-Host and host it on Australia’s behalf

Noa Midéus well 4 if you count Jessica in too

Cant see anyone else being better.

Not aussie

For me, "tonight again" was the best one, and deserved to be in the 2nd place in 2015

Trumby she is an Australian through and through. She’s lived here the majority of her life and is an Australian citizen. It is a migrant country.

Vocally, Euphoria is light years away from this. Dami is the best Australian act so far on Eurovision, followed by Guy Sebastian.

@@diegoardila2463 Vocally, Kate Miller Heidke is light years away from pretty much every Eurovision entry so far (other than the other opera singers that were on it)

She was up against Jamala, that’s how she didn’t win, but she was fantastic I agree.

Micha I loved Kate so much. Australia is really killing it!🇦🇺💙

worldsbestaquarium08 sadly but true 😭

Yup I remember voting for her

I wish we could return to putting forward more Dami Im-level entries! Men stort tack ändå. karlek från Australien. Jag ska rösta på Loreen den här gången.

Lol not in a lifetime

LOL my boy's here thinking Loreen could sing this...she couldn't belt half of those notes, sorry to break it to you man.

Loreen isn't on her level

Honey, SHE LOST!!! She lost ALL the votings from millions of people. She is the loser.

+wies siew You know, getting 11 pts total like Germany or not a single pt from the televoters like Czech Republic could be considered 'losing'. Reaching the second place overall (and winning the Jury vote by a landslide) is as far away from losing, as you are from being sane.

Listen , there is only 1 winner, and it is definitely NOT Damn It. The rest are losers. She did not nearly win , she is not the real winner. She LOST thus she is a loser. As simple as that.

Quod erat demonstrandum. I rest my case, the madness is strong in you. LOL

Who would be watching Eurovision if injustice wasn't made?

Not on THIS planet.

no lmao

+Peter Choi Yeah, I notice that you are in a bad mood. She came 2nd place for a reason. So maybe you should leave instead lol

+wies siew No need to be a bitch :)

its not called bitching, its called honesty, she did deserve to win this year, but not the best singer who have competed ever

Dami, Zlata, Yohanna, Anne Marie David, Vicky Leandros, Kaliopi, Severine and obviously Celine Dion are in my opinion the best female performers ever heard on that stage. They are just another league for this competition. They can sing the content of a bill, making that a masterpiece

Alexander Rybak agrees with you. He called Dami hands down the best voice he had ever heard at Eurovision.

Personally, I think Loreen is the greatest vocalist ever to peform in Eurovision, followed by Aminata. Dami is top 5 for sure, maybe even 3 for me. She should have won that year though, Dami was the best.

@@r.davidsen Kate Miller-Heidke deserves a mention too, her opera-pop was great.

Aminata is the best vocalist so far

Dami actually won the jury votes with an unassailable lead. It was the public votes that robbed her, she arrived in Stockholm late finishing off her tour first then produced her Eurovision video within 24 hrs working around the clock. She definitely was robbed !

I got even more hyped because I'm Kpop fan. I know, it's irrelevant...

The judges voted right. Televoters have no fucking taste.

ESC robbed her by allowing1944 song which was sung 3 years before going against the rules, they allowed it because they did not want OZ to win this.

@@endlessspace.8776 You mean in 2013 then? Who sang the 1944 song before Jamala in Eurovision?

@@user-kw2kw7su7w Jamala sang it at a festival and because they said there was not a large Audience they said it was OK to proceed, yet the rules are specific the song cant be more than 9 months old. see rules below. The entering song is also not allowed to be a cover version, and is not allowed to sample another artist's work. All songs must be completely original in terms of songwriting and instrumentation, and may not have been released publicly before 1 September of the year preceding.

Love this comment 🇦🇺

Erik Romero Fronta... Thank you, Gracias. 🥰❤️😘 Australia 🇦🇺

It would've under the old voting system.

There wasn't a change to the voting ''system'' but rather a change to the voting ''announcement'', making it more exciting. The results would still be the same no matter the way they were getting announced. Except if by 'old voting system' you mean when there were no juries, which your comment would still make no sense since she came 1st by jury and 3rd by televoting.

ParalimniVoice " *The voting was not only presented in a different way than last year, it was also calculated differently*. The old rules: The jury ranks the songs from 1 (best) to 26 (worst) Tele televoters rank the songs from 1 (best) to 26 (worst) The ranking is combined The highest 10 songs in the combined ranking get points (12,10,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1) The new rules: The jury ranks the songs from 1 (best, Hilda) to 26 (worst) The televoters rank the songs from 1 (best) to 26 (worst) The highest 10 songs in the jury ranking get points (12,10,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1) The highest 10 songs in the televoters ranking get points (12,10,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1)"

Oh yeh, I remember now..lol, haha...I completely forgot about that. My bad, sorry for sounding like an asshole :P I still though found it impossible to believe that there would be jury votes that wouldn't include australia in their top10. As for televoters, well they can go to hell because their judgement is crap.

had I voted I was of been torn between this and Sergi's Your The Only One, both where miles better than the crap Ukraine winning song

I think that new voting system is better than the old one. Still, she deserved to win much more than Russia and Ukraine.

Honestly, someone who ended 4th in televote with half the points of the televote winner is by no means a 'real winner'. She did a great job regardless.

@@Bynasf she didn’t win because she’s Australian. They didn’t want Eurovision to be in Aus.

@@jacksondevine8320 To be fair, if that was the case, then the juries would be the ones to give way less points to Australia, not the public. In fact, it was the complete opposite. The only explanation that I can give for this is that the public are mostly people who are joining late and only listen to the replays, and they give 12 points to the people who scream because they think it's impressive. And Australia were performing in the middle of the running order, compared to Ukraine who were near the bottom, and the most points go to the countries who are near the bottom of the running order. But even then, it makes no sense.

I would pay my entire life savings to have been there, just amazing, the songs, the stage, the hosts, the venue, the city, all amazing!

I was there, and she got the highest response from the audience (after Sweden)

To be honest, Jamala's performance was pretty underwhelming. I couldn't even finish watching it. It was so boring.

I don't know for me this was a good song but "dime a dozen" type of a good song. Even staging is kind of boring, she was siting on a box. come give us some emotions, you are on Eurovision! You are mentioning Jamala, but her song was so much better artistically and Jamalas voice like OMG. For Eurovision this Sound of Silence is kind of MEH song.

I agree. She lost because of televotes (a consistent Waterloo for Australia).

6 octaves I think

+Silversurfer Galactus Seven octaves?!!?? How?!?! That's impossible!! Amazing

I know Dami can consistently go high 6 Octaves as she did with Purple Rain, most Artists can go 4-5 Maximum...What makes Dami special is she combines those HighPowerful notes seamlessly with the lower, angelic notes.

correction .. 6 octaves .. still amazing

umm 6 octaves? Lol wot? Not in this song atleast, she moved between about 3, which is hugely impressive for a lower register singing, most people only acheive about 2-2 1/2

angels lifted her in adoration

Actually, Dami is an angel and she sings like one. So she has wings and flew down from the box obviously. ;D

From 2:12 there is a big shot of her head. While we cannot see the stage 4 guys come running from stage right entrance (that stage is creepy, you can roll everything up from below in no time). In the next shot from the dropcam at 2:16 we can see 2 people in black clothing lifting her down the box and then running away towards the front edges of the stage (only visible by a light shining on them and when the floor lights up). The other 2 are getting ready behind the box. In the next steadicam/flycam/crane (no idea what exactly they used here) shot at 2:21 the camera goes around Dami and while we are looking towards the audience, the big box is being rolled away by the other two stage hands and woop-di-doo, at 2:38 the big shiny box is already gone and nowhere to be seen. The choreography needed for these effects and the planning of the camera work is really quite astonishing, and it's not computer trickery, it's good old coordination work.

Doh! Johannes Fried .. don't you have any imagination? .. it was angels .. angels lifted her ..

+Johannes Fried 2:21 was a handheld camera

+Phil Eng absolutely plus she is a 'force of nature'.

+NC G What is MY problem?? Honey, the problem is YOURS. You are trying to make a star of somebody who was not even voted into top 3 by millions of people. Not exactly a huge star at Eurovision level.

wies siew I am just giving my opinion, there is no problem about that. Her vocal range is absolutely insane and her staging was amazing! No effect-party like Russia, no snore-festival like Poland, a perfect balance of both. If you don't like it, why even bother watching it?

everyone blocks this troll who is stalking Dami

Poland was fucking awesome, shut up

I think ESC wanted to gave Ukraine win to piss Russia off. It also don't want Non European country ie Australia to win. But to create "three win situations", don't let Australia and Russia disappointed The data was rigged such that Australia and Russia could win in jury and televote respectively, but cannot win finally.
