I really like this song. The 2 years Australia have sent songs they have both been good. Hopefully we will get decent songs each year. Even when they performed in the interval in 2014 it wasn't a bad effort.

This song keeps drifting in and out of my top ten. Sometimes I think it's a bit too middle of the road, but other times I have it down as one of my favourites to win. I just can't make up my mind! I'm hoping that Dami Im helps me make up my mind during Eurovision week :D

Yup, that's pretty much how I feel. It's fantastic in a technical sense, very slickly-produced... but it just struggles to stand out as a piece of music, and there's no real USP. Some days I focus on one aspect, some days on the other, and it ends up bouncing between around my #9 and #20. I think Dami should be able to really elevate it live though, as she seems like a great live performer from what little I've seen.

Dami will probably help you make up your mind; and probably it will be for the better! I am expecting a very professional performance, vocally and otherwise.

But in the final in Stockholm I am expecting lots of really good performances! The weaker ones will probably be eliminated in the semis (well, except a couple of pre-qualified entries). So it's hard to say how Australia will end up.

Australia are going hard and for the win. I think last year was just a taster from them and this rehearsal looks really, really good. Before, I said the Czech singer Gabriela Gunčíková has possibly the best voice in the competition, now I'm thinking it's Dami Im.

i actually find the dress gorgeous and she slayed those vocals. Less of a fan for the minority report thing

I still hate the song but it looks like it went from 100% dullness at the studio version to a serious contender with that staging...

I still find the song a bit too boring, not winner material for me... But I realize of course that her chances of a top 5-placing increased with this staging. However I find the faces in the background awkward and she's according to what I've heard moving her hands so the visuals show up and I find that quite tacky as well, even if it's well animated it's too "Back To The Future" for me.

I thought her striking body features are hidden with this dress, not to even mention the dress is godawful. The staging is boring as is the song, but oh well. It will unfortunately do great.
