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.

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.

2. go to this website for free proxies; http://spys.one/free-proxy-list/AU/

4. click on the name of the proxy you have inserted in SimpleProxy.
5. Watch live
6. Enjoy (I do this often 😉 )
Note: You may have to try different proxies – Australia is a difficult country to view from ‘elsewhere’, so allow time.

I think the jury performances will be uploaded within the hour or something like that? I’m never good with time zone conversions.
