The full version is on youtube, but it requires a VPN. ^

It's nice. Judging by the entries that were released, I already know more than half of the lineup is a no for me.
Hope never dies, it takes only one song for me to be on board. So far, all I've heard is just too grey, and some are even outdated by Eurovision standards imo.

Casey Donovan "Proud"
Diana Rouvas "Can We Make Heaven"
Didirri "Like Things Black"
iOTA "Life"
Jack Vidgen "I Am King I Am Queen"
Jaguar Jonze "Rabbit Hole"
Jordan-Ravi "Pushing Stars"
Mitch Tambo "Together"
Montaigne "Ikr"
Vanessa Amorosi "Lessons of Love"

People finally realizing that Australias NF is just Denmark in disguise. It was the same last year apart from the two fan favs.

Most overrated NF of all time.

Praying for Mom Montaigne and Lady Jaguar to bring the spice!!

Love the native language part of Mitch's song, it's really dreamy. The English part? not that much, it's okay. Wish the chorus was more "anthemic", and imo would be great if they added a chorus to sing alone at the end of the song
Mitch is an amazing performer though, so wouldn't write this off, depending if it gets good staging though

Is that Amorosi's entry?

I don't mind the verses at all - it started out ok - but the chorus is just another shouty mess. Pity. Lemme cancel that one too.

@tuorem

If this is really her entry I´m dissapointed. I had high hopes in Vanessa Amorosi, but this song is bascially the even more generic and boring version of "We Got Love".

Yes....
Some people don't trust it but it is...

Time for Australia's first NQ.

I think Iota has the strongest song so far in Australia Decides.

 

[Leydan]

Well Vanessa Amorosi has the best so far and it's jury bait through and through, but really this NF is shaping up to be just SOOO average. If this was Denmark or the UK people would be so much colder to it.

 

[Edweis]

Like many of you, I only like the non-English parts of Mitch's song, there rest brings nothing new. Can we get any more cheesy ?
At least I love the blue-pink aesthetics of the vid

iOTA - Life is my favorite right now. It's close to what I listen to on daily-basis and stands out in this selection. Still, even if I love the instru I lack the "wow" factor that could have made me fall for it on the spot.

When I think Paul Clarke stated back in December: "For a lot of Europeans, they turn to Australia for what is new and what is different... We have four, five, maybe six people that could win the competition this year."

And I am Elizabeth II.

@tuorem

It´s great to have you in the forum, your majesty!!

Well, it´s getting more and more likely that will be more on the bottom of my list. Diana Rouvas song sounds like basically all X Factor & Pop Idol winning titles, and this is not a compliment!!

You can tell so much that this was written with ESC in mind, the only eurovision ballad cliche that is missing is a violin. That said I don't mind it actually, it's powerful and she has a good voice, although there is something that doesn't sit right with me and I think it's the formulaic generic style and lyrics with the offensively repetitiveness of of can we make heaven.

I wound't mind if Australia send her actually....

Diana Rouvas and Jordan Ravi were the only two with songs which I could actually listen to the whole way through. iOTA is okay, not my personal cup of tea but I can understand the hype. Jack Vidgen and Mitch Tambo...we don’t need to talk about them.

Still holding out hope for miss Jonze to come and slay everything
