I read some posts on the ESC Facebook page by some guy asking fans to boycott voting for Australia

It may sway a few fools but overall it will amount to nothing!

There's always some crap like that by some idiots online. A loud minority that won't hurt much at all xshrug

I found that ridiculous myself. If people like the Australian song, they will vote for it like they do with any other song in the contest. Even I would vote for it if I lived in Europe

Welcome Australia to the Eurovision competition. The song has a very American sound to it. It could do really well or it could tank. We will have to wait and see. 7pts. from me.

Ohhh me and my Facebook fans have wanted to boycott voting for Sweden for years (they are mostly to good for ESC). We haven't succeed jet, but we will.


But don't you worry about a Boycott of Australia ........ It takes years to tell 200 mill viewers who to boycott

Some songs are already available but otherwise we'll have to wait until the release of the cd in april.

I just bought Sweden and Belgium's songs, others I searched for aren't there yet :( Have to wait! I'd love to buy Guy's when it's out.

thank you - I was thinking it would be great if all countries songs were released to iTunes at the same time in a level playing field.

I really like this song, even if it is not my favorite song this year. But I am contemplating to vote on this just because I am so excited Australia is a part of the ESC, and I would be very happy if they got to continue compete in the ESC even in the future.xwelcomexheartxheartxheart

Australia's invitation to compete in Eurovision (one off) and Guy Sebastian being chosen to represent has had its fair share of controversy here and overseas.

However, now that the song TONIGHT AGAIN has been released it is getting some pretty good reviews hoping that we will make a good showing on the night.

REVIEW

Fresh off the back of his first national arena tour, and Australian Eurovision contender Guy Sebastian has hit the studio to write and record the insatiably catchy, “Tonight Again.” Featuring a strong R&B vibe mixed with Sebastian’s soulful vocals, the single is fun, electric and riveting enough to garner the star more than a few international fans, and hopefully, some votes to boot.

The velvet sound of Sebastian’s voice opens the track with a simple piano backing, and we are shown the light and shade in the singer’s voice as he effortlessly pours out a song about embracing the moment. Electric guitar and a stand out brass section bring full colour to the chorus, and the instrumentation rises to the crescendo where Sebastian repeats, “We can do tonight again.”

Breaking down with a strong focus on a piano synth sound, which is carried by the big-band-esque sound of the trumpet, we are reminded that this song is far more than just a memorable and feel-good tune, as the vocals come to the fore and shine above the excellence of the production. Background vocals contribute to the momentum of the tune, with vocalists like Fatai adding to anthem-like quality of track.

Aside from the vocals, there is impeccable timing within this track, which somehow balances the best qualities of today’s R&B genre with old-school soul. Filled with catchy hooks and lyrics that will stay in your head long after the song has finished, “Tonight Again,” carries a hopeful and joyful sound that emphasizes the unique spirit communicated through Sebastian’s music and his live shows.

While “Tonight Again” is not the big ballad we expected for Eurovision, it meshes all the best elements of a moving vocal performance with a groove and hook to wow an international audience. Coming together after spending 72 hours in the studio, the limited time Sebastian had on this tune doesn’t dismiss it of quality. In fact, in production, instrumentation and vocal delivery, I’d say it’s up there as one of Sebastian’s best tunes and even trumps some of his most recent singles.

“Tonight Again” will delight fans and lovers of SOUL worldwide. Therefore, aside from expecting a performance full of glitter, glitz and funky dance moves, I only have one request: please release this as a single, Guy. Because I’d really like to stop using up my internet data while I stream this from YouTube, and this could most definitely take you to the top of the Aussie charts, again.

This concludes the list of mediocrity of ESC 2015. I think this might even flop. :'D 4 pts.

That's what I think, they will either start or end the voting as well.

I think that the opening or closing will go to UK it an uptempo and a great starter, Tonight Again is a good song for in the middle of 1st or 2nd act

That's very likely. Personally, I'd like them to close the show: I guess most people would keep on watching until they perform + the final would end on a high note since it's a big surprise for everyone that Australians are in. :p

It is a good song (not the winner for me) and I like it, But it is very interesting to see what would happend if Australia would win ;) Next year in Australia? I think people would not like this idea, protests etc... It will be around top 10 -15 I think
