Australia AUSTRALIA 2016 - Dami Im - Sound Of Silence

[eugoose]

But they wouldn't have qualified without juries help. They would have failed to qualify (they were 11th in the televoting if I recall correctly) if only televoting was used. In the final they would have been in bottom 5 as well without juries help.

Aliona is definitely not a weaker singer than Dami. Also her song was more touching because it was in her native language.

Advice: check out your arguments before trying to use them to convince other people.

I liked Dami's performance as well but it simply didn't deserve to be 2nd. Europe agrees with me because she was 4th in the televoting. Deal with it.

I like the song but it shouldn't be present in this contest in the first place. Australia doesn't belong in Eurovision because it is not a European country. Europeans seem to be confused about the whole situation as well because the name implies the contest is for European countries only.

Oh yes, I will totally deal with Dami's 4th place finish in the televote. It's killing me right now that she only managed to beat out 22 other countries. Oh Dami, how could you?

Great. Enjoy. Now let me express my dissatisfaction with the presence of this country at Eurovision in peace. Thank you

come on, get over it with Australia not being in Europe.

I am willing to take another 25 Australias with those kind of amazing songs anytime ! They did better than almost anyone tonight and they deserved it.

Australia is not in Europe, it's not European, Australia is simply a fucking participating country in the Eurovision Song Contest and I hope, for ever.

(Courtney Act next year please)

It should have won...

 

[mgru]

I want Chet Faker on Eurovision but that's completely unrealistic!

 

[Fluke]

This had me trembling with fear. Dami herself is very talented, and i even kind of started to like the song in the end (though i still think it's way too dull) but the thought of Australia hosting the contest in a West European country is horrifying. It would surely be the most generic and "international" hosting ever!

Australia would have won with the 2013-2015 voting system. It seems this would be the ranking:

Dami deserved to win! i cannot believe the pathetic attempt from ukraine win... i have no respect for the contest... it makes me sick

 

[Oshawott]

Dami is my winner. No matter what voting system you're the best for me.
I hope that this is only the beginning for her European career.

 

[Titowam]

I honestly thought Australia had it this year! I really did!
But hey, second place (or was it 3rd?) which was very well deserved.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

I didn't think Ukraine would be able to catch up, but they did! Australia well-deserved it's place this year. Now, I wonder if you guys will be returning or not? (im personally neutral on whether you should)

I am also shocked. Just a few points more and Dami would have won!

 

[CaspianMortis]

Someone calculated the points with the old voting system and AUSTRALIA WOULD HAVE WON!

Dami Im is the true winner of Eurovision! I wish her the best.

Talk about a sore loser. What the hell, man?

Well under the 2009-2012 system Ukraine still would be the winner, so that's not an argument to say Australia would be the fair winner.

 

[sapsan]

Just 25 pts more and my winner would have won ESC. OMG - just 1 pt more from every country and we would got the best the most deserved winner of ESC ever. Probably it's not fate to me to live untill the day when my favourite wins Eurovision.

 

[sapsan]

Dami is the best entry for me together with Yohanna. I'll never forget them.
Thank you Australia I hope you'll stay in Eurovision forever.

 

[blue00eyes]

Dami Im is the true winner of Eurovision! I wish her the best.

Europeans decided that Sergey is the winner.

Australia is overrated by juries.

 

[zs1001]

Good result for Aussies! Honestly it is not a winner song but I could live with an australian winner. New voting system screwed her chances.

 

[EscGeek]

I hope to see them next year as well
