Australia AUSTRALIA 2022 - Sheldon Riley - Not The Same

[escYOUnited]

I was told at six years old
They'd avoid me if my heart was cold
Found it hard to talk and speak my mind
They'd never like the things that I would like

'Cause you're told to play, but you're not the same
As the other kids playing the same game
Tried to jump on in, but they push away
So far away

I'm not the same, no
I'm not the same, no

Years go by, I tried and tried
My father asked if today I smiled
I said, "Yes I did", but that's a lie
Oh, I always tell those lies

And you run and hide, hide the break inside
Do you realise that the light shines bright?
Through those, oh, who broke inside

I'm not the same, no
I'm not the same, no
I'm not the same, no
I'm not the same, no

'Cause you never want to be a kind of person
You can work it for those ones who cannot word it
Because you've been the kind of person who felt this pain
Yeah, I felt this pain

So you're gonna leave the pain and find another way to make yourself another game
Maybe one for all to play
'Cause it's not just me who's not the same
We are not the same

I'm not the same, no
We are not the same, no
We are not the same, no
We are not the same, no​

These hosts are lovely

 

[MopManMoss]

If the jury show was anything to go by we’ve already heard the strongest vocal today from Montaigne and Keiino

 

[Ali_]

I really like Little Fires

 

[crashworld]

Interesting how they mix Montaign and KeiiNo together.

 

[Mainshow]

Did the audience cheer a significantly louder when the names of Paulini ,Voyager and Jaguar and Lambrou got announced.. than Sheldon? - That´s how I perceived it! Oo

 

[Lance Esgard]

Sheldon looks like he is wearing a Zebra Turkeyfish.

[Gwendal]

The first thing Seann thinks about Italy is... Aperol Spritz.
Darling, it's MORNING in Europe now

 

[Kaz]

FYI Aussies - they said you can only vote up to 10 times but I voted about 22 times before I got the “you have reached your voting limit” message…use this information how you wish

 

[Mainshow]

WTF.

ADS before the first performance takes place??!?!?!

 

[Loindici]

"Maybe next year we're gonna find our next artist by Wordle!"

Riiiight...

 

[Ringdalen]

WTF.

ADS before the first performance takes place??!?!?!

It´s just some cool crossover interval acts

 

[Kaz]

Also intel from the ground - my mum who is a once-a-year casual Eurofan watcher said her favourite is Andrew Lambrou because it’s “the most Eurovision-y” …. could do better than initially thought if he gets the casual televote methinks

 

[Preuss]

to be fair, greece and cyprus are the most obvious example ;;

Maybe your mom is distracted by his muscle boy look. LOL.

I think they need some set up with the moving screens or there's a little technical difficulty happening, that's my guess

Paulini coming for the surprise win. Sounded better than most on that stage from the jury clips I saw.
