She recently told wiwibloggs about her busy schedule, which includes finishing an album, planning a national tour and preparing for Eurovision 2016.
But if Dami Im is feeling any strain it isn’t showing in SBS Australia’s Eurovision 2016 ad, as the Korean-born beauty looks toned, taut and totally glam.
Wearing a futuristic catsuit with asymmetrical finish, she looks like a model ready to work the intergalactic runway.
Scroll down for video
The top features a sexy cut-out that reveals her stunning décolletage, and a super chic and curvaceous shoulder embellishment.
Below the waist she works just one pants leg, which, like the rest of her outfit, is decorated with silver sequins.
A sheer cape trails her, billowing as she moves and covering her perfectly peachy derrière.
Producers have built the commercial around her lyrics “I keep calling.”
As she calls, her famously supportive army of fans answer, running out with light sabres and orange flags, ready to slay for their pop music queen.
It’s perhaps the sleekest and sexiest ad from a Eurovision broadcaster that we’ve seen and further proof that Australia takes its place in Eurovision very seriously.
The bookies currently have Dami neck-and-neck with Ukraine’s Jamala to win the Second Semi-Final of Eurovision.
They also have her down as the contestant most likely to qualify for the final.
The “Sound of Silence” singer is also one of our favourites for this year’s contest.
She placed sixth with the Wiwi Jury — our in-house panel of musical unprofessionals, which is made up of 40 jurors aged 14 to 65 in 25 countries around the world.
One juror wrote: “She keeps calling, calling, calling and I can’t help but answer. With ‘Sound of Silence’ Dami rides the ‘dirty pop’ wave, serving mystery, grit and soul with a heavy electro beat. She recounts her feelings of emptiness following a breakup, but fills the void with sultry vocals and some seriously raw emotion. Dami — a powerhouse vocalist — has the right material. With the proper staging and a bit of luck, she may soon have the Eurovision winner’s trophy too.”
This New Eurovision Ad is damn excellent. Dami in her futuristic outfit looks flawless, incredible sexy and her voice sounds so fierce calling every #Damiarmy to join the battle & Win this competition ????????….We behind you all the way gorgeous Lady ??????
Wow Dami ! She is above fantastic! Heavenly beauty with magical voice she will smash Eurovision stage & win!!! You can do it Dami , #DamiArmy.
Love your write up William! First time I saw this promo video, I said damn, she look futuristically hot! The video is nicely done. Dami look sexy, fierce, strong and powerful but not too overly revealing. All this and combined with powerful and Captivating vocal, I think she is going to slay on the Eurovision stage. From watching her past performances on big stage, she will do just that. Like she said, watch out Sweden, the Aussies are coming! Love watching her perform. Go Dami, Go #DamiArmy
With the wind at her back and running free Ms Dami Im is heading to Stockholm under full sail. Day by day, her awesome vocal talent and magical persona attract more attention, as her fan base swells, and her #damiarmy grows stronger and more resolved. Ms Dami Im is the real deal, the total package, the bright side of the ‘force’. The is the ‘star’ that the world has been waiting for. Go Dami Im 🙂
@blondyboybc Australia is the biggest nation outside of Europe who have the largest viewers worldwide to watch Eurovision. Because of that they wanted them to participate, enabling them to have even more countries viewing Eurovision. The idea to put an Asian singer from Australia was purely strategic as there has been talks of Eurovision taking the same contest concept to Asia possibly calling it Asiavision or something like that. It’s good to say that Eurovision has come far and making it a contest not just for European countries but countries worldwide (a European contest for singers of all nations) maybe… Read more »
Wow you are beautiful Dami. Very proud of you. The Winner indeed!!!
AUSTRALIA ALL THE WAY…
HOOOO…HOOOO…
GO…DAMI…
#DamiArmy are very proud of you.
We with you all the way…
This is an awesome ad. Wait till Dami performs Live. She will slay Eurovision stage. #DamoiArmy
Fierce, powerful, sultry. Dami is coming. I so love the futuristic theme. Our dami is so gorgeous. Wow! This is just a testament of how Australia is a contender to win this year ESC. Bring it on ! #DamiArmy
Omg! luv her radiant flawless skin. Her high cheek bones, a beauty ???? And her voice keep calling. .caling.. i heard you Dami diva.
Dami rules!! She will bring something unexpected with her performance in Stockholm, so truly watch out Sweden and Eurovision!
#DamiArmy
@Darren, I assume if Dami does win this year, the country who Australia gives their 12 points to will co-host it next year.
Please Australia win this
I remember the EBU saying last year that if Australia won Eurovision 2015, they would have to co-host in another European country the following year.
Does that rule still apply with Eurovision 2016? Especially now that they are basically regular participants now, if Dami wins, will Eurovision 2017 still have to be co-hosted in Europe, or would the EBU allow it to take place in Sydney?
Now her heart awakes to the sound of #winning.
And it beats to the sound of #winning.
And it beats to the sound of #winning.
Queue the “why is Australia in Eurovision?” comments…. 😀
Australia is taking Eurovision seriously. Dami Im has a few more surprises to spring on the EV community yet. If you think you know the power of her vocals, the precision, perfect pitch, the raw emotive quality she can deliver just from watching her videos, amateur or professionally done, you ‘ain’t seen nothing yet’! Wait until you experience this classy, elegant diva live. She’s got a killer song tailored specially for her. Don’t say she didn’t warn you. “Watch out Sweden. The Aussies are coming!'” And she’s got her whole #DamiArmy behind her!
I love Australia this year! I just can’t even! The only ballad I’m routing for.
If you really want Australia to hold the contest, you have to wake up at 3:00 am to watch just like what i was doing every year… (live in Asia)
That dress has got to go! And I don’t mean to Stockholm.
“In 2066 Eurovision will include all of countries in the world and will be 1000% different”
Except USA. We’ll still be ignoring it.
That promo (it’s a promo, not a commercial) probably wasn’t that expensive, BTW, especially if the extras are SBS employees or volunteers. It just LOOKS expensive because they did a very nice job!
THAT IS NOT HOW YOU HOLD A LIGHTSABER!!!!!!!!!
Seriously though, great video. Love that Australia is so excited about this,and their years of dedication to a contest they’d once never DREAMED of being a part of is paying off.
woooooow well dami could be the next kpop start too right???
in this ad show they show the dami that we want, sexy elegant fierece strong powerful!! can’t wait for eurovision
that video looks so expensive it makes me uncomfortable.
Lol for a moment I thought they’d mixed up the dates.
@Crazy D
Your lack of tact is frightening. Wiser people know how to remain silent. You don’t.
Reminds me of star wars + hunger games, really cool commercial!
@hasa
In 2066 Eurovision will include all of countries in the world and will be 1000% different
I genuinely want Australia to win just so they put on an amazing Eurovision next year. Their production value would be ridiculously high and tasteful.
I wonder what Eurovision will look like in 2066 hmmm…
I love her dress !
“Peachy Derrière”?
William are you Mrs.Phaedra Parks undercover lol
“peachy derrière”?
Really?
WOW.. I would by happy I there was similar campaign in Czech TV… Anyway, your Maltese bloggers must have had very heavy party as they still have not delivered reports/videos from yesterday party 🙂 😉 😀
My 2nd favourite! Love the Aussie song this year!
