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​

I can´t get over how good these hosts are. They are constantly making me laugh and smile. I bet this program will be a true joy.

Not G-Nation having an Isaiah-style selfie LED…

 

[Mainshow]

Is it just me or do they sound better than during the jury show recap?

Definitely! The song is still meh but it sounds better. Let's hope it'll continue!

 

[Loindici]

So the red hair is the lead rapper? She sound fierce ngl

 

[njdevils94]

Hopefully Charley can pull the surprise win. It's the only really good song in the selection in my opinion.

 

[Looren]

Really nice opening !

Such selfies should be banned in Eurovision.

I feel 6 of them is too many. Putting on a good performance and vocals but not the type of music I'm personally in to

 

[Loindici]

CMON MAIN VOCALIST!

Yeah, I think it is safe to say Australia Decides has become the National Final with the most consistently strong hosting quality.

Joel and Myf! They’ve been our commentators since 2017 too. Everyone was worried because our previous commentators (Julia and Sam) were brilliant, but these two have really proven themselves to be just as good.

 

[gingerale]

Uh I like the performance and energy. Only the outfits are very ugly.

 

[Loindici]

not somebody costuming like Montaigne in Myf's back-

 

[Preuss]

myf and joel are the best hosts

Bite Me is a bop

 

[crashworld]

G-Nat!on - A good competent opener. They sounded so much better today. But the song not so much.

 

[Mainshow]

I knew he would be referring to Grindr at some point.

Nah, it´s not funny anymore.

 

[Looren]

Gosh I love this host
