Australia AUSTRALIA 2016 - Dami Im - Sound Of Silence

[ParadiseES]

I like it. Maybe too repetitive, but it's definitely A LOT better than their first entry. This really has big chances to win and I'm afraid.

Anyway, if Australia wins, the context will not be held there, obviously

I've got a sneaking suspition Australia's gonna be Azerbaijan 2.0. They'll be presenting handsome, well produced, sterile songs every time round.

Top 10's boring side material

The contest will be held in Austria. Close enough

Woah, scandalous early reveal. I quite like the chorus, but the rest...I don't know. Could've been stronger. Howewer, it is clearly one of the best entry this year and unlike 90% of 2016 entries, it sounds modern.

I was honestly expecting something more Gladiator-ish

I'm pretty sure Australia is my new favorite, so I won't even bother waiting for the full video. 12 points

I can't say I really think much of it. I don't dislike the song at all but it doesn't do anything for me personally. It's very safe which I was expecting, as I find Dami's earlier material to be extremely middle of the road. It's solid enough and contemporary. Just a big, metallic ballad with nothing really behind it. I'm just glad our Aussie friends are still with us. I can live with this but I don't want it to win.

A kind 5 points from me.

Since Facebook was changed to uh uh oh oh or something like that, I wonder what will happen to FaceTime.

The song is okay but I think it's overrated being in third place now. It doesn't sound like the winner to me but neither do Russia and Sweden.

I give it 8 points.

It's good but definitely no winner. A solid 7 points from me.

The chorus is a bit of a plodding, repetitive mess and kills the song stone dead for me.
I don't doubt her vocal and performance abilities though so she will place in the top 10 but won't do better than Guy last year IMO.

 

[lavieenrose]

Moderately comfortable but also rather flat creatively, hitting beats without really doing anything unexpected. 5 points for now.

The song is just ok. Nothing special keeps repeating the same lyrics just like Russia but in Russia's case is more Eurovision style. Not a winner by any means.

 

[aardvark]

Not bad at all, I suppose. A quality entry, but a bit too sterile and stereotypically Eurovision for my taste. I wonder how this will be able to stand out next to other similar entries this year? Should be able to make top 10, but too ordinary to be considered a winner IMHO. 6 points for a valiant effort.

Now my heart awakes to the sound of silence... And it beats to the sound of silence... And it beats to the sound of silence... Now my heart awakes to the sound of silence... xsing

 

[cassio]

Absolutely a top 5 song Australia 10 points

(maybe even a winner)

 

[nunaney]

it starts out okay but then the chorus is awful. I loved last year's entry but this one is currently in my bottom 5.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

I really like this!! A definite top 5 for me

 

[Carrie]

Pretty good entry from Australia. Better than last year, anyway.
