Australia AUSTRALIA 2016 - Dami Im - Sound Of Silence

[i anixi]

Not a fan of these big classic ballads. There's not a sparkle of character in them, or a twist to lend them individuality. They're conventional to the bone and we've heard them all so many times.

If Russia was 2nd last year there's no reason this won't be either. It is a litle less cheesy at that

 

[CaspianMortis]

It will unfortunately do great

How rude!
I hope Russia finishes last with nul points.

Im not a fan of this its extremely repetitive to me even the czech Republics song has a bit more going for it than this one but thats just my opinion.

Repetitive is the word. The performance seems to be very good, but I'm still not sold on the song itself. Too simple for my taste, particularly in the chorus. Dami's voice is impressive, but she has to rely too much on raw vocal power because there is really not much song to sing there. In the end she appears a little bit as a scream queen for me.

But anyway, this will likely be another top five for Australia because it's so professionally made, just like Russia. But if Russia does too much, Australia does too little. Also just my opinion.

Rehearsal seems MARVELOUS!

Now I'm sure it will stay my number one in 2016!

Just I got impression backings are too loud, I hope it improves..

I feel really proud of Australia and Dami Im, that second rehearsal was just awesome. I cannot wait to see it on tv next week.

I predicted that this song will win the eurovision..and i wouldn't mind if it does...it's a good song

 

[alca]

I liked it at the beginning but now I'm kinda bored of it. It's still good but I get tired of such songs very easily. I'm not a ballad person.

 

[Milos-BC]

This is severly overrated imo. The song is ok, but I don't see it as a favorite at all. It just doesn't bring anything new to the table. And also, last year's Australian entry was much better imo. I think it has chances to reach top 10, but nothing more than that.


4 points.

I see Australia finishing up in top 5. I am not sure it will be an advantage to be Australia though. Dami seems like a brilliant singer.
And I am sure this will do very well with the scandinavians, at least.
My personal opinion? I definitely can see it's quality, but... Mehhh..... A rather booring and generic power ballad.

 

[ESCada]

I find her to be a very good vocalist but I just don't see any emotion being brought through her performance ...... It's just flat, sitting on a glitter box and looking like a cupcake.
I am positive for a top 15 finish but I wouldn't put it in my top 5 nor 10 ........... It's too generic and when I think we have songs like France, Bulgaria, Latvia, Ukraine and Sweden/Russia ..... I just don't see this being a sure top 5 contender.

 

[aef]

is in the same favourite-but-weakness-is-visible category for me like when it comes to rating JUST THE SONG. So to impress, Dami needs all those extra-high notes like Sergey needs his visuals...

 

[revallsay]

WOW! I am speechless. This was amazing, TOP5 is coming Aussie.

 

[AlekS]

Excellent performance at the jury's show

 

[TomESC]

It's nice that Australia has stuck around. Like Graham Norton I'm a bit confused as to why, but unlike him I don't mind. I like Australia. They're fun.

And really, they're this big lonely island far away from everything with silly time zones, so they deserve a break. Let them sing their hearts out.

 

[Jukica]

Great performance she sounded great

 

[i anixi]

What if Australia didn't make it through?

It was horrible. She screamed her head off.

 

[musicfan]

It was a very good performance, but there are better songs which have more than just the booming chorus.

 

[Grinch]

I like Australia tonight, one of the best performances.
