11th place in a semi is still bad… like especially considering where Australia was before in Eurovision lol

Listen I like Go Jo, his vibe and I found him very sexy lmao and probably was delusional in thinking he was a competitive package when the signs were there from the whole time he was always going to flop. He was already middle to lower end of the results on the odds and his pre performances were not good. There was no buzz from his rehearsals either. The fact that we are nearly qualifying with acts that don't have the same expensive staging or have the extensive experience in the industry of acts like Dami, Guy, Jess etc actually gives me some hope we do have a future in the contest. But SBS really need to be smart here and go with a label, or get an act with extensive appearance like a Paulini, Ricki Lee or Anthony Callea and get them with DNA and encourage them to sign with a major for the contest if we want to be competitive in this contest. For example if they just send Sheppard next year and leave them up to their own resources we will just be repeating the same mistakes. I don't think the Australian Delegation should use Voyagers success as an example, they had the best slot in their semi and also had the buzz of potentially being Australia's last act at Eurovision.

He would’ve qualified from the first semi imho.

Here's the text of what Mark Carney said in his tweet (he and Anthony Albanese met at the inaugural mass in Rome for Pope Leo XIV):

Great to meet @AlboMP: the only world leader who can discuss spirituality, the global economy, Vegemite hygiene & how Go-Jo was robbed at @Eurovision in one go. With the same values & ambitions Canada & Australia can help shape a fairer, more prosperous world

He would’ve qualified from the first semi imho.

Doubt so, it had even more male uptempo entries. Seriously, the vocals were completely off and the performance looked stiff and forced, trying to be funny with ugly on-screen graphics like something from a 90s MTV afternoon filler show. The giant blender, backgrounds and outfits were actually pretty good, but all the other random props and silly gestures toward the camera ruined it.

Now that the contest has ended and my delusion about Finland winning did not happen, Germany's Baller and this song are the ones stuck in my head constantly. Go-Jo was so entertaining and the Grand Final was definitely a bit more boring when Greece's depressive song qualified instead of this.

 

[Bobjan FR]

Something i noticed : in semi-final, ignoring the obvious 12 for israel, the australian public gave 10 to Finland and 8 to Malta. It seems the viewers had a lot of milk to give.

The reason for this flopping can be seen in the first 30 secs of the performance. He's trying to imitate a TV salesman, but looks stiff, uncomfortable and barely smiles. The dancer next to him seems so much more natural and charismatic.

 

[deletingpoint]

This one is a bit difficult. I'm still not sure if i liked the staging or not. I'm also still not sure if i like the song or not. I didn't at first listen. But it ended up fun and enjoyable enough for me.

 

[SpiritofKeiino]

I thought the staging was fine. It was kind of unlucky not to qualify. I think it was about 10 points off.

 

[Preuss]

Australia just gotta step up their game.
