This is a very high-quality song that, unfortunately, is also incredibly generic. I guess that in any other situation it would be a satisfying entry but in Australia's case this year I was expecting something more unique and more Australian, whatever that may be. 0 points.

thank you :)

So it's a big disappointment? I can't listen to it now, because I'm at work. Can anyone describe it to me?

It depends on your perspective, if you like this style of music then you will love it, but if you don't then you probably wont be as enthusiastic. It's not a terrible song, but I'm not a fan of it.

it sound like what song? I mean, if you had to compare to to any song from the radio, which one would it be? Or who's style?

One song that comes to mind immediately is Marcel & Soulman Group: Når Veje Krydses from Denmark's selection this year. It is similar to that, but much much much better.

It sounds ok I guess. I would have thought they would have gotten something more impressive since it may be their only (at least in the near future) entry in the contest.

Nice radio song, not so sure about if it will work or not, but it´s one of the better songs in this mediocre ESC-year, 7 Points

Just listened to Guy's song - I love it! Very Bruno Mars-ish, it makes you want to get up and dance! :au:xmusic

Funny thing is, this is actually Guy's signature style of music. Soul, funk, pop. And that's exactly what this song is. I'm not sure what you mean by 'more Australian' lol. I don't think there is one sound that represents Australian music because it's actually very broad :) Compare this, to Empire of the Sun, to AC/DC, to Kylie Minogue, to Missy Higgins, to Savage Garden, to Cold Chisel etc. I think maybe they're playing it safe, but at least he didn't go for another ballad lol.... :/

His voice was the reason why I voted for him during the World Idol special so long ago xup

I quite like it. A bit too generic but I can definitely see this in the top 10, especially as I expect Australia to get some extra points just for participating as a guest. I already decided to vote for Australia at least once when I heard that they will participate. I want to hear "Australia thanks you for your vote". :p:lol:

With a good staging, it will be ok...but it's not a song I'm interested in hearing again. 6 points.

THE GOOD

-This is a great and very memorable song.
-It's also a good time song, one you might hear with friends at a bar or nightclub.
-I expected a great voice from Guy, and that is exactly what I got from this song.

THE BAD

-Absolutely nothing to report here.

THE VERDICT

We may have to seriously ask the question about Australia winning the contest now because this is a song made to win. Not only that, it might transform into a summer jam of sorts, regardless of whether or not it wins, because it's that good of a song. 12 points

I have to be honest: when it was announced the name of the singer, it was a bit of a letdown. But now that I'm listening to the song, I am dancing on my seat at the first listening. xdance
Well done, Australia! You brought something nice and unique. xup
