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 am totally lost now. Is that Kelly Clarkson in a costume promoting the American SC?

 

[Looren]

Best stage presence: Paulini
Best vocals: Sheldon & Isaiah
Best performance: Voyager
Best song: Jonze
Best lyrics: Charly
Best looks: Andrew
Best staging: Jule

It´s a tough choice for Australia to make because none of these performances were very convincing. All of them are lacking some factors to really perform well in Eurovision but all in all, I think that Voyager could work in May - maybe even Sheldon due to jury support (but the song´s chorus is simply bland). Jaguar Jonze would be great but she needs to hit harder (visually, and song-wise).

If Keiino perform again they might do an On A Night Like This cover.

 

[Mainshow]

OMG KYLIE

 

[MopManMoss]

This wouldve been a really good opportunity for them to perform the song on their album that they did with Electric Fields

[Mainshow]

They suck out all the engery which can ususally be perceived whilst listening to "On A Night Like This".

This cover is really interesting on paper but the execution is just bad, imo.

Tom’s leather outfit is sickening and I need it

Not the SBS shortlisting a literal child LMAO

 

[I bims]

Wow showing songs that didn't make it? That's so cool

 

[Gwendal]

Oh so the jury votes will finally be revealed first?

 

[Mainshow]

jury pts now?

 

[Loindici]

Not the SBS shortlisting a literal child LMAO

They're joking, right? But they'd probably send her for JESC

 

[Lance Esgard]

Wow showing songs that didn't make it? That's so cool

It's an Australia Decides tradition. Voyager were in that position once.

 

[Mainshow]

Top 5 of the juries look alright.
