Hate to moan, but the programme started 20 minutes ago and the Facebook page is still saying “going live in 00:00” after half an hour.
we went onto sbs later with a vpn. pian in the bum to try and get it to load from esc plus and fb
I’ve ordered my blue wig. Don’t break me Australia.
If we judge only vocally, Casey Donovan deserves to win !
Montaigne’s staging needs to be improved for sure- but do we all remember the glowup KMH had between Gold Coast and Tel Aviv? The basic concept is strong, I think it would work to have Montaigne just sing but to keep the overall choreography for the dancers.

I would not expect that the quality of broadcast be so good though.
Rabbit Hole needs to win. Best package out of the lot.
Btw, montaigne staging destroyed the song. What the Bosnia Herzegovina 2008 is going on?
I agree. It seems like she doesn’t want to win lol. 2016 rykka came back hahaha
Poor mans, he ended up touring national finals
he missed out on the UK gig this year lol
I don’t like Montaigne’s staging. The staging killed the song 🙁
Out of curiosity, can people that don’t live in Australia vote via text?
Can people that don’t live in countries that don’t participate in ESC vote in the final via text?
Yeah, people that don’t live in countries that don’t participate in ESC can vote via text and the Eurovision app.
.
So I live in the United States, Eastern standard time, what time will the show start for me?
Nevermind i found out, its at 4 am.
Just like last year ?
I’m gonna know the results by the time I wake up, since it’ll be starting around 4:30 am my time!
Haha….don’t feel bad. It’s like the ONLY national final that us lot across here can enjoy at a civil time.
We have this one, you can all have like the other 25….;)
imagine how we feel when the actual Eurovision semi finals and finals are on
No staying up so early this time. 🙂
The thing i love the most about australia is how we never have to wait until the evening to get their resluts or songs and stuff.
I think the jury performances will be uploaded within the hour or something like that? I’m never good with time zone conversions.
Edit: In 41 minutes: https://www.sbs.com.au/programs/eurovision
I hope the Aussie hosts open the night with “Good morning Europe!” just to return to serve 😀
