The song title is an abomination to grammar. Who uses a hashtag and then only uses applies it to the first word of a group of words? #We Got Love makes no sense at all. It should be #WeGotLove or just omit the hashtag altogether.

7 points for being one of the better up-tempo songs of the year. It lacks some power, and I'm not a fan of Jessica's voice. My main issue is the terrible title. Why do we have to have a hashtag song title?

This is actually not bad, at all. Very uplifting, hopefully good vocals this time Jess :lol: I can see this winning in a year with no clear favorite, 2011-style

Upgrading to 8 points ;)

Maybe if she changes her hair to blonde you will like it more?

Margaret (from MF) is blonde and possibly will last too. :lol:

Surprisingly, one of my favourites this year. It’s another pop music, yes, but stands out in a very weak year, look at the odds, where went even higher up after the song was released. It’s fresh, and I am sure Jessica will deliver it pretty well. Wonder who will end up better, if Saara or her...

Thanks to the name of the country. :rolleyes:

Re: AUSTRALIA 2018 - Jessica Mauboy - #We Got Love

I can't stop listening to this Australian GEM!

I love drums and anthmeic beat so much!@

This beats like a heart! xheart

Australia is criminally underrated in this poll! :? :mad:

I know, I know what you must be thinking
That we are powerless to change things
But don't, don't give up
'Cause we got love, 'cause we got love
I won't throw my hands up to surrender
'Cause love is stronger than fire
So don't, don't give up
'Cause we got love, 'cause we got love....
xlove xheart xyes xbow

It's not amazing, but it's quite good and pleasant to hear. I predict another good position for Australia. 7 points.

This will go high because it's Australia but I think it would be a borderline qualifier if it were another country.

Is this still a thing in Eurovision though, that some countries get through because it’s Australia or Sweden lol?

Giving this a 12, I’ve listened to this the last couple of days plenty of times

It is catchy at parts and quite modern, but the lyrics are cheesy and the whole thing is idk, bland.I feel like I've heard it a thousand times before.And yeah, I do think that being an Australian entry is important but we'll see.

Compared to Dami Im, this is weak and a huge step back.

"...Because it's Australia"..... I dont buy that! With the 3 songs sent from Australia so far there has been absolutely no big surprises. Does anyone really find it strange that Australia ended up top 10 in 2015 and 2016? 2016 wasnt my cup of tea, but I dont have any problems understanding why Dami Im got her result!
I agree that last year's attempt wasnt their best, but a qualificaction was not a surprise (although I do agree that it was overrated by the juries).
Anyway - being overrated one year doesnt mean Australia has a "green card" to the finals.
There were times when that was said about other countries - that then failed to qualify at some point (Serbia, Greece etc).

Having said that - if it was up to me Australia would have a hard time qualifying this year.

It is crystal to me now! :au: is my clear number 1 xheart xlove
It gives me some vibes of I'm Alive of Celine Dion! It is so positive, uplifting! xheart xlove Actually, it is on repeat all day to me today, it is clearly my favorite! xheart xcheer

As well, that instrumental part before last refrain will look amazing on stage I'm sure!

Not bad, I like the melody and verses, but the chorus lacks something and I don't know exactly what. It's not a song I'd listen to twice.

Re: AUSTRALIA 2018 - Jessica Mauboy - #We Got Love

Jessica and our Head of Delegation took part in a newspaper interview the other day, which included some interesting points. Nothing too major, but a few parts seemed notable, especially this hint on the staging:

"With singer and song locked in, Mauboy confesses some nerves about the staging. This weekend will be the first serious planning meetings about that, though she hints that water, fire and dancers may appear."
