Dami is simply amazing, and I really like her other songs too!
I think she has the strongest vocals this year and has a shot at winning the game. For now, Australia's my #1.

I personally like the verses more than the refrain.
Changed my 6 to an 8. xheart

Yeah, I was really excited when the teaser came out that just showed the first verse & pre-chorus - I was loving it, and got pretty hyped about our chances of winning for the year. Then the full version came out, and... eh. The choruses certainly aren't bad, but they don't have the punch and drama that the verses promised, so the song's somewhere around my 10th now. Agreed on your 8 score.

The Apple fanboys will all vote for this in May because she uses FaceTime instead of Skype. xqueenbitch

I love Dami, but I've tried so hard and I just can't get into this song... I just find it a bit boring really, it's a huge step down from her usual work :(

I agree. The more I listen to this song, the more I think Australia aren't going to get the result they expect.

I like "Sound of silence" a lot, but I agree, a song like "Superlove" for example could easily win it this year.

That's what I was thinking, there's a lack of distinctly feel-good upbeat songs this year, Superlove would've been a real breath of fresh air.

3 minutes sound of silence can be better than this song. Sorry, aussies, but I do not like it. No hook for me, lots of sound of silence repeated... :?

I like Australia. I think it would be cool if they won. But I think Dami Im would be better if she had like a totally girl power song or something like that. But it´s 10 points from me. :)

Dami just had a live chat on Facebook with her fans where said that she will definitely be putting on a show in Sweden. She is going to be very creative and it will be pretty!

Can't wait!

Dami Im is fantastic. If Australia sends song like Sound of Silence and Tonight Again every year I would wish them welcome.. :)

First live performance! She forgot a line in the second verse, and the audio quality of the recording is below even potato-level... but vocally she's pretty much flawless. Looking forward to the performance in May!

I know I won't be popular here for saying this, but I dare to stand with my opinion from last year:
Australia is so far away from Europe, so they should not participate as long as this event is called the Eurovision Song Contest.
I suggest they create their own national or continental musical contest/ festival/ whatever and have fun with that.

They already did that:


And there is a possibility that the winner of that festival will compete at ESC.
