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'm not as drunk as an Australian (wish I'd be, but that''s too early) but wasn't someone in the audience clapping after Seann's non-song looking like Sergey Lazarev?

No, no, that was Ser-g'day Lazarev

 

[HayashiM]

I loved every bit of Seann's performance and don't feel a slightest guilt about it

 

[shameless]

Your username is literally shameless

Sorry to express what I'm thinking but to me the message of his song is egocentric.

 

[Kaz]

Ooooooh Charley’s staging with all those lights very Dami Im

 

[Lance Esgard]

So far, I'm liking this one better live.

 

[Preuss]

This is beautiful

 

[Mainshow]

Charley´s staging and dress looks great so far but seriously, that song doesn´t work live. A sure-fire NQ.

 

[Looren]

Omg this

 

[Gwendal]

First real contender for the win with Charley. Love it, possibly more than Sheldon!

 

[Kaz]

Sorry to express what I'm thinking but to me the message of his song is egocentric.

LOL no don’t be sorry, I just thought it was funny that someone with the username “shameless” doesn’t like shameless performances

 

[RainyWoods]

Seann is obviously talented but that sassy confidence would be better used on a half decent song. That was a difficult three minutes to get through.

 

[shameless]

Certainly the best vocals so far but the song is a bit middle-of-the-road.

 

[Lance Esgard]

If this were to win, (not that I'm expecting it), I'd be happy enough with that.

 

[crashworld]

Charley also did great. The song is a nice little tune. But the lightings are so blinding though.

 

[HayashiM]

Charley is absolutely stunning and her ballad isn't bad either, but Mia Dimšić has this field covered.

 

[Ringdalen]

This was favorite, but the emotions of the song did not come through in this performance so I rather see someone else go to Eurovision. The staging would need so much work and be completely redone.

 

[Loindici]

Charley nearly broke down in the end. Can't imagine how tragic the last breakup might be during the (seemingly) on-and-off relationship she had.

 

[gingerale]

I didn't like Charley at all. I found the song very flat.

 

[Mainshow]

Australians like to eat KFC in bed?!?!? WTF was that ad
