Re: AUSTRALIA 2019

Same Twitter account seems to be posting snippets of each act as they perform, by the way. I can't be bothered linking every one of them here, so refresh over there if you want to see

Re: AUSTRALIA 2019

First five acts have all performed now (Ella, Electric Fields, Mark, Aydan, Courtney). Not sure if people are just all being kind or hyped or something, but all five have gotten positive feedback so far!

Sheppard's snippet was painful to watch

Re: AUSTRALIA 2019

Trying not to watch the snippets too many times, but from a quick look then, I think people might have underrated Alfie. Potential jury winner of the NF there, and I think it could look beautiful on TV with the right camera angles.

Re: AUSTRALIA 2019

after i saw sheppard snippet i think they will be really low on jury.

Re: AUSTRALIA 2019

I looked up some of Sheppard's live performances when their participation was announced and was far from impressed.

Re: AUSTRALIA 2019

Kate was apparently very good. She's made her way to #1 in the odds now. Electric Fields not far off in #2, with Sheppard then just a hair behind them in #3.

I'm back to spread my reviews again!

In all honesty though guys, I think Sheppard are winning, though there's not really a massive choice lol

Re: AUSTRALIA 2019

If Kate wins I will be severely disappointed. I know it sounds like I’m whinging, but I seriously cannot envision Zero Gravity taking a place higher than 40th in my ranking. It just genuinely feels like a joke entry in my eyes. It’s like they’re taking the piss out of Eurovision, and sadly I think that means that many Aussies with a similar mindset might vote for her. There are some gems in this preselection - notably Electric Fields and Leea Nanos - songs with direction, energy, and passion, three things I find lacking in Zero Gravity. Experimental =/= good. Ughh I know I’m being such a grump but I want to be proud of my country’s entry.

Re: AUSTRALIA 2019

I dont see the hype surrounding Kate. I get its strengths, I know she has a major voice, but damn, I dont like it. Its gimmicky. It reminds me so much of Sweden 2009 and that one came across awkward on stage. I dont like the beat in the background, I dont like the chorus, the verses, the ending. If she manages to win, I dont think she is going to be anywhere near my Top 30, she wouldn't make the playlist.
Fingers crossed for Electric Fields to be honest, such a bob, such a chance. I like Sheppard's song, but it could fall flat live. And Leea is amazing, Alfie is underrated. I like it somewhat, especially now knowing the backstory of it. And something about Courtney is captivating, I think she will deliver live.

My Top 5:
1. Electric Fields
[MAJOR GAP]
2. Leea Nanos
3. Sheppard
4. Alfie Arcuri
5. Courtney Act

Electric Fields aren't giving me winner vibes from this clip. Of course the clip of Sheppard they uploaded isn't that bad lol

Re: AUSTRALIA 2019

Just saw the clips as well. And DAAAAYUUM! My whole ranking will change tomorrow. From the clips only Electric Fields is definitely falling in my ranking whereas Alfie is about to climb up, maybe even taking the peak.

Re: AUSTRALIA 2019

I LOVE Kate but I don't want her to win. I think she'd nq at eurovision and that would just break my heart

Re: AUSTRALIA 2019

I saw the clips and im not sure what to say! I like Kate i think. Sheppard is not good and Electric Fields looks and sounds horrible!

Re: AUSTRALIA 2019

That was freaking AMAZING. It's really unfair we're only getting ONE of these at Eurovision. Where on earth was THIS Australia in the past four contests???

Re: AUSTRALIA 2019

I saw the full performances and i am a bit dissapointed with Electric fields...
I think that they overdo it on scene... :?
Also based on Kate's performance and odds it seems that she will be the winner....
