Honestly what the hell most people loved this song how the hell does it only get 21 points? Should have taken 100+ other garbage songs took 150+ what's wrong with people
Best song of the night. They managed to fit synth pop, prog metal, heavy metal, a singalong chorus and a guitar/synth duet into just 3 minutes. The fact that they acheived this without sacrificing the quality of the music is testiment to the quality of the band and the songwriting. Deserved to win!
exactly: honestly they seemed like they weren’t even there for the competition at some points just there for the excitement of it all. they were so happy to just be included and i fucking love it.
They were there to have fun, not make faces and rude hand gestures like the french lady lol. Real Aussie gentlemen and a lady! I’m just one of their new fans! ❤
Coming from a Serbian ESC fan🇷🇸 : 1. Probably the best backing vocalist of all time (switching falsetto, growl, scream while playing the bass, like dude, which planet are you from?) 2. Amazing guitarist who is headbanging with her glasses on without them falling off, takes a really special talent for that xD I could never 3. Awesome drummer! What a pro! As well as the other guitarist. 4. A confident frontman with an interesting vocal and colour of voice (reminiscent of 80s new wave bands, e.g. Simon LeBon). When I found out he is a lawyer I almost passed out. Like, dude, how do you have time for anything? He must have cloning ability. XD This is like a perfect concoction for a pro band. I have literally nothing bad to say about them. Well done guys.
To all Australians unhappy with the televote: Please don't think Europe didn't like Voyager. WE LOVE THEM!!🤩Check again the arena's reaction complaining. It's simply because the televote was dramatically concentrated on the main favourites (above all Sweden and Finland) It has been a disaster for many other countries which were favourites too (literally a bloodbath!) This has been probably the most shocking Eurovision I have ever seen and everyone is speechless. All my friends and family were automatically converted when they saw Voyager live, they loved them! Also remember that you have won the 2nd semi final, that says everything! You should be extremely happy and proud of your result :)
for sure. I'm not a swede but an Aussie living in stockholm for 13 years. My heart is both with Sweden and Australia, this time I really thought this one was better and the winner was a bit boring. it's all subjective though and I guess rock does not generally go far in Eurovision. happy for the cool song though, and they did australia proud.
@@chiasanzes9770 Crab?? Hah hah, I don't think it was a "krabba"... If you're trying to be an edgelord , learn the language! Or troll in your own language (I guess Swedish)!
This is the kind of entry I’d been itching from Australia ever since they first joined in 2015! Just some upbeat positive Aussie rock, couldn’t have asked for more! 2:36 was one of the most hype moments of that night! Australia please don’t leave Eurovision, you guys from down under will always have a special honorary place in Eurovision!
Agree this was my favourite track out of all Eurovision 2023 would love to know where I buy just this track ??? Australia please stay a lassie in Scotland love you !!!!
Australia deserved so much better this year. Great song and easily the best live performance. Anyway, let's look at the positives. 1. Voyager are a real band. It's not like they needed Eurovision. 2. Many of us didn't know them before (how is that possible). So we got to meet this awesome band and we are definitely going to be following them into the future. Hope they get to perform live here in Portugal someday. 3. Glad we gave them the 12 points they deserved. Be proud Australia, these guys were the real deal. See you next year. Keep rockin' 🤘😝🤘
This is one of the rare moments I do know one of the contenders (besides the one from my homecountry) before performing here! Didn't know that they were from Australia though 😂 I have their song "Ascention" in my playlist, can really recommend that one!
Great comment! I am so happy and proud of Voyager and their performances. It's brilliant to see all the new fans they have made - and thank you Portugal I love you for your 12 points!
I was so shocked Portugal and Iceland gave 12 points to Australia. I thank them for doing so, this performance was the missing piece out of all the entries!
My winners. The song is catchy, powerful, and the vocal skills are great. The staging was cool aswell. I don't think they'll win the real thing but I'll be REALLY dissapointed if they don't get top 10.
I expected so much more. Even if it's maybe not someone's taste, the song, the vocals and the overall performance was just really good! It all came together
Positively surprised by the jury, disappointed with the public vote. I really thought this could be very successful with the viewers. But overall a good result for Australia and two electrifying performances from Voyager. In my feelings, they represented their country with the right mixture of joy and competitiveness. The retro-futuristic staging with the gloomy backdrop in blue and red was very elevating for this song. And they had the most impactful dance break of the evening 🇩🇪🤜🤛🇦🇺
Ich verstehs auch nicht. Australien und wir waren im Semifinale Platz 1 und 2 und im Finale bekommen beide mit einmal nur sehr wenige Punkte. ???? Wieso????
@@TheFireline because germany did weird stuff even with their flags... just foolish and childish idk in the 2010s with Lena that was a great performance.
People are debating whether Sweden or Finland was the worthy winner and no one is even talking about how these guys literally managed to fit about 5 different genres into one song and fucking slayed it live. Australia deserved to win this year and it's so unfair that they scored so low!!!
I hope they understand that the public voting score does not reflect how many people did actually vote for them. They were amazing. And I was jealous of their sandwiches.
Contract is expired. The price for countries like Australia have been increased by quite a bit. I'm not sure that we will be coming back. Also, the fact that this is 'Euro' and not outside the European sphere is a part of tis decision, will seal our fate. There are many that want this to be Euro and not International. As an Aussie, I understand that. We had a pretty good run, though.
Thank you Australia for this awesome song, my favourite in this Eurovision. I was so proud to see my country, Portugal, giving them the 12 points. 🇵🇹 🤜🤛🇦🇺 Rock on!
I truly enjoyed this performance, they are just so AMAZING, their attitude and charisma are insane. Australia is once again in the final and I'm so happy about that ❤️🇦🇺
This song is truly impressive! It incorporates a phenomenal metal section that clearly demonstrates the band's origins in the genre. Furthermore, it showcases their remarkable adaptability in exploring other music styles. In addition, the pre-chorus "Cross my heart til the sky turns red in the sunrise" sung by Alex Canion sounds absolutely fantastic and incredibly melodic. In addition, the guitar solo and brilliant synth response in this song are outstanding. The seamless combination of these elements adds an extra layer of sweetness to the track. It's unfortunate the jurors overlooked many aspects, leaving the band underrated. A huge congrats VOYAGER - you are undeniably winners in any case!
Welcome to the world of progressive electro djent metal. If you love this you would love caligulas horse, haken and leprous, the three best bands on the planet ❤. I will be checking out voyagers back catalogue for sure
@@tronlady1 Indeed, the possibilities are truly endless, and musicians, along with their craftsmanship, are constantly striving to reach higher levels of competition. As a musician and producer, I truly enjoy making creative decisions that have a significant impact on the final stage of production. Like Hans Zimmer used to say, "It's satisfying..."
I'm sooo happy to see them in the top 10! I voted for them from Ukraine. Australia is the only country in my top 10 for 4 years in a row. Please never quit participating in Eurovision!
Australia should stay Edit: just kick out the Brittons instead since Australian submissions to Eurovision always have been enjoyable there has not been any terrible ones they always good or amazing
@Gwain Saga Fan Channel they literally can't kick out the UK they fund a lot of the event they're part of the big 5 😭 besides no need to kick anyone out to begin with
So glad metal is somehow finding a way in Eurovision this year!! 🤟🤟🤟 I found the band some years ago at a progressive metal forum and im so proud of their growth! Super happy to see them get global attention on TV, best wishes from Uruguay ❤🔥
Lyrics for doctors: He’s sick tonight Promise you’ll cure him so he won’t die Fans are by his side Promise us it’s gonna be alright🤞 Get well Danny! You’re already an Eurovision legend❤️🩹
The first time I heard this song I loved it and it progressively grew on me with each listen. And now, after watching this performance, I can assure you that I am deeply in love with it. They are my absolute winners!!!! 12 points from Serbia 🇷🇸❤🇦🇺
Damn, I'm disappointed by Finland's jury for not giving 12 to AUS, but Iceland just did, they know what's up. Juries are pretty clueless all around. They can't tell the difference between a good composition and themes from just a thick audio production.
Finally Australia has the best song in the Eurovision Final! Promise we've got this for the win and whether we do or don't it's gonna be alright! 🇦🇺👍🏼👍🏼💯
@@donclark7790 Yeah, even though Voyager got the most votes (149) than all countries in semi final 2 for some reason the public didn't vote the same way in the final. Promise should have been more succesful than Cha Cha Cha with public vote, seems the world is crazy
I'm sorry you lost the prize to Sweden, but you gained one die hard fan from them! Nevermind the ESC, this is a fantastic band but I'd never have discovered them without this apperence.
I voted for them. Sadly people can't seem to get out of their comfort bubbles and voted for a snorefest. This was honestly my favourite this year, with Germany being close second (shocked they ended up last). Greetings from Finland.
This is not just a song; it's FIRE. It's everything I want in a song; so big and earthy and makes me feel like I can do anything. I adore this song with all my heart. My winner this year for sure, Australia 12 points! (I'm really happy that the Icelandic jury gave Australia 12 points.)
I cast a vote in any type of contests for the first in my life... Voted for them 🤘 God what a song, the fact they condensed so much styles in 3 minutes with such class, makes this song a masterpiece.
Regardless of the results, I'm just stoked that one of my favourite bands gets international coverage to show off their talent. So proud of the aussie metal scene!
I loved Australia's song this year! Saw them live at the semi finals and thought their vocals were fab! I put through a couple of votes for them last night, so it was such a shame to see them get so few from the public overall - they deserved so much more! You would have had my 12 points Voyager, well done!
You did amazing guys. You didn't win Eurovision, but you resurrected my love for metal music and I thank you for that. Will be keeping an eye on you from now on ;)
You should be. Wishing you all the best from Scotland. I hadn't heard until a couple of hours ago. That has to be the best Eurovision song I have ever heard. Minus the drum and bass element, there are some Pendulum vibes in there.🏴🤜🤛🇦🇺
Alan Gray, it's quite interesting you say that, Pendulum is from the same city as Voyager. If you listen to the Perth band Karnivool, you will hear similar vibes as well. I think Perth really has a distinctive sound to its live music and the city fosters some of the best Australian music imo.
Listen to that crowd!!!!!! They absolutely LOVED you!!!!! Mega-congratulations on your mind-blowing performance of your totally platinum-star, explosive song!!!!! Real Talent! Top musicians with their OWN song who know how to light up the stage and bring real joy to the world!!! Considering you are outsiders in Europe you did FANTASTICALLY WELL!!!! WE TOTALLY L❤VE Y❤U!!!!! 🎉💖✨️🎆🌟🎶✨️🇦🇺
Didn't watch Eurovision. Went round my parents the following morning, asked them how it was. They said "You'd of liked Australia"...GAWD DAM YES I WOULD, IT'S BLOODY VOYAGER! I apologise for being a bad fan and not knowing you were doing this.
As anyone who appreciates real talent would have been shocked and amused by such a low score. As an Aussie I sadly think we have just become accustomed to being insulted at Eurovision and realise that we will never get a fair go as we are just not apart of Europe 😂Maybe next year we should send Vanessa Amorosi.
@@stephenmarshall1918 Well, this year voting was especially weird so I think your song was appreciated by many people. The result just didn't reflect it but it was same with many songs. I wouldn't take it seriously. They were surprised when they saw it like everyone else cause they know Eurovision well & they knew the song was good enough for the contest. Don't change your Eurovision style. I think you have lots of quality in your music. This year's song of yours was in my top 5 :)
@@annjemari Thanks Anna and yes I know that many like yourself did appreciate both Voyager's talent and their courage to do something a little different. TC
Nice song and great voice! I have one more reason to love this song: frontman's grandfather comes from my native Ukraine. The world is so small at times. Dear Australia, you did a great job this year!
Almost every year there's one act from Eurovision that I end up becoming a huge fan of... just booked to see Voyager in London later this year... can't wait!!!
Thank you Australia for sending the amazing Voyager to Eurovision!! 🇦🇺 What a song and what a performance!! Such powerful rocktastic brilliance with talented musicians, great lyrics and outstanding vocal performance!..Should have won....My winners all day long! ♥️
This was my favourite song this year. I was so surprised it didn't get way more points from the public. I'll be following the band closely from now on.
AUSTRALIA, you’re definitely #1 for me!!! it’s CRAZY how "promise" just stuck in my head for days 😭 btw, it gives me 00’ rock energy love from Russia 🤲🏻🤍 p.s.. I'm still VERY angry at the viewers for giving Australia such low scores. vocals, music, performance, energy and even words were ON FIRE!!! of course, it's a matter of taste, but in my opinion it was one of the best songs in the last three years 🙏🏻
So happy that our jury gave you 12 points 🙌 so tired of mainstream pop songs, fortunately some countries risk themselves with other music styles. Congrats for your 9th place . Love from 🇵🇹
why this is one of the GREAT Eurovision performances: A proper band, fun but totally professional, who OWN every last inch of the stage ------ a "local" outfit who then become globally known and successful on the back of these three minutes. And of course it helps that the song is a total banger.
Along with Serbia and Finland the best entry this year! What a kickass song! Kudos to all you guys!!! You made my day, week, month, year... life!!! Two thumbs up from Serbia!
@@maxkho00 Its about craziness that song delivers. Its funny, quirky... Unlike the winner Loreen who is generic song, nothing special, nothing new we havent heard before. On the other side, Serbia and Australia are structurally very strong songs, with all the messages, stagings... Much more serious songs unlike Kaarija and Loreen, maybe too much serious for this type of competition. This competition become a competiton for the poverty and hungry masses, as we used to say in Serbia.
What a jubilantly optimistic song. Brilliantly soaring vocals (both lead and backing). Loved the stage set and graphics. A truly stunning performance overall. Voyager utterly smashed it.
at the end of the day top 10 and winners of 2nd semi final is something worth celebrating. if this is our last year in eurovision im happy it was this song, even if this is my 1st year getting super into it. the fact the music video was recorded in basically my backyard makes it even more special, best of luck for the future voyager!!

Coming from a Serbian ESC fan🇷🇸 :
1. Probably the best backing vocalist of all time (switching falsetto, growl, scream while playing the bass, like dude, which planet are you from?)

What an honour it is to have these legends to perform at Eurovision stage. I will never stop listening to this MASTERPIECE! 🇫🇮♥️🇭🇲
Bangeri kyl fr
Totally agree! ❤🇸🇪
So glad metal is somehow finding a way in Eurovision this year!! 🤟🤟🤟
I found the band some years ago at a progressive metal forum and im so proud of their growth! Super happy to see them get global attention on TV, best wishes from Uruguay ❤🔥
Get Well Danny❤❤❤
Lyrics for doctors:
He’s sick tonight
Promise you’ll cure him so he won’t die
Fans are by his side
Promise us it’s gonna be alright🤞
Get well Danny! You’re already an Eurovision legend❤️🩹
Ok that made me cry 😢
I’m praying as well 🙏
The first time I heard this song I loved it and it progressively grew on me with each listen. And now, after watching this performance, I can assure you that I am deeply in love with it. They are my absolute winners!!!! 12 points from Serbia 🇷🇸❤🇦🇺
Same here. I'm Australian but I would LOVE this no matter what country they came from. Brilliant song and performance.
13 points from Finland!
(the 12 goes to our own little banger man)
Damn, I'm disappointed by Finland's jury for not giving 12 to AUS, but Iceland just did, they know what's up. Juries are pretty clueless all around. They can't tell the difference between a good composition and themes from just a thick audio production.
Thankyou Serbia you are now an official mate of Oz
from the uk and i love this kind of music, definitely my top song this year
I voted from Canada 🇨🇦 gave them 20 votes!! I was shocked to see such low audience points 😢
Voted for them from Canada also! Hope Canada is able to take part in the contest one day!
You guys absolutely smashed it. Levels above anyone else there, felt like a massive band just rocked up for a party.
Yes
I still get chills from this performance
This was Australias most 'Eurovision' song. IMO Cha cha cha Number 1, this a close second.
Finally Australia has the best song in the Eurovision Final! Promise we've got this for the win and whether we do or don't it's gonna be alright! 🇦🇺👍🏼👍🏼💯
I think it was the most pleasing song out there.
it wasnt a hard task this year, I'm afraid
You were robbed!
@@donclark7790 Yeah, even though Voyager got the most votes (149) than all countries in semi final 2 for some reason the public didn't vote the same way in the final. Promise should have been more succesful than Cha Cha Cha with public vote, seems the world is crazy
I'm sorry you lost the prize to Sweden, but you gained one die hard fan from them!
Nevermind the ESC, this is a fantastic band but I'd never have discovered them without this apperence.
Most underated song of eurovision 2023
Best Eurovision song I’ve ever seen/heard. For the the first time ever I even voted and for them. Gutted they didn’t get the points they deserved.
I voted for them. Sadly people can't seem to get out of their comfort bubbles and voted for a snorefest. This was honestly my favourite this year, with Germany being close second (shocked they ended up last).
Greetings from Finland.
Same here! Never watched Eurovision but since it was being hosted here in the UK I decided to give it a go. My first vote went to them!
I am so happy that Australia joined Eurovision...every year they show what amazing talents they have🎉
So sorry about the televote result guys! You had my vote from The Netherlands. I can't stop listening to this song 🤩
Ze komen in Oktober naar Nederland😁
This is not just a song; it's FIRE. It's everything I want in a song; so big and earthy and makes me feel like I can do anything. I adore this song with all my heart. My winner this year for sure, Australia 12 points! (I'm really happy that the Icelandic jury gave Australia 12 points.)
I’ve never been more patriotic for my country Australia in my life 🥹 so proud
This performance was epic. So much power. I absolutely love it. And what a voice!
This is one of the best song in Eurovision and one of the most addictive songs I've heard in recent years. IT'S SO GOOOOD! ❤
Damn, I feel sad that you only heard 6 songs in your life.
I met the lead singer today!!!
He is SO awesome!
How the flying F did that get only 21 points from public???
People got no music taste or what?
SO THRILLED they made the Top 10, the juries are LEGENDS for voting for this song Aswell as the public, BRILLIANT PERFORMANCE 🤘🔥🇦🇺
Four stage cancer... We love you, australian legend 💔
Stage four, really??? Hope he gets well, do you know what type of cancer it is?
💜
I cast a vote in any type of contests for the first in my life... Voted for them 🤘 God what a song, the fact they condensed so much styles in 3 minutes with such class, makes this song a masterpiece.
Yes same, I have never voted in eurovision before. They were my first ever vote cast. More than well deserved.
Same. I voted in semis
The guitar solo is exactly what Eurovision needs more of.
Regardless of the results, I'm just stoked that one of my favourite bands gets international coverage to show off their talent. So proud of the aussie metal scene!
^This^
I think many an Aussie thinks this way... Its not about the win, its about the effort.
You can be from wherever on the planet, like me Sweden. They are the best band in the world! ❤
100%
Prog Metal at Eurovision Song Contest? I'm all in! Australia you have my 12 points. Huge fan of voyager. I didn't expect to see them here
The best song this year! Actual music. Thanks Australia!
One of the best live performances of Eurovision this year
Fr dude, these guys and Germany were the reason I watched this year ❤
Danny, all will be ok❤
I loved Australia's song this year! Saw them live at the semi finals and thought their vocals were fab! I put through a couple of votes for them last night, so it was such a shame to see them get so few from the public overall - they deserved so much more! You would have had my 12 points Voyager, well done!
You did amazing guys. You didn't win Eurovision, but you resurrected my love for metal music and I thank you for that. Will be keeping an eye on you from now on ;)
we love you Danny ❤ Get well, receive our energy ❤
Get well soon, Danny
I keep looking for updates on his health. I can't believe that he's suffering from the bloody, big C.
Вот как должна была выглядеть тройка лидеров:
1.Käärijä(Финляндия)
2.Voyager(Австралия)
3.Alessandra(Норвегия)
I'm so proud to be an Aussie right now
Same here mate
You should be. Wishing you all the best from Scotland. I hadn't heard until a couple of hours ago. That has to be the best Eurovision song I have ever heard. Minus the drum and bass element, there are some Pendulum vibes in there.🏴🤜🤛🇦🇺
Alan Gray, it's quite interesting you say that, Pendulum is from the same city as Voyager. If you listen to the Perth band Karnivool, you will hear similar vibes as well. I think Perth really has a distinctive sound to its live music and the city fosters some of the best Australian music imo.
You should have at least got the 2nd place, at least. Greetings from Croatia.
Too right mate
Only 21 voting points?
Is this a joke? This song deserve better!!!
Listen to that crowd!!!!!! They absolutely LOVED you!!!!! Mega-congratulations on your mind-blowing performance of your totally platinum-star, explosive song!!!!! Real Talent! Top musicians with their OWN song who know how to light up the stage and bring real joy to the world!!! Considering you are outsiders in Europe you did FANTASTICALLY WELL!!!! WE TOTALLY L❤VE Y❤U!!!!! 🎉💖✨️🎆🌟🎶✨️🇦🇺
Danny, you're going to be alright! Can't wait to see you in London next year. ❤
Didn't watch Eurovision. Went round my parents the following morning, asked them how it was. They said "You'd of liked Australia"...GAWD DAM YES I WOULD, IT'S BLOODY VOYAGER! I apologise for being a bad fan and not knowing you were doing this.
The audience in Finland loved your performance 🇫🇮🤘🇦🇺 You deserved more votes!
Was a 12 from Iceland.
Their reaction when they only got 21 points from the public was priceless 😅
As anyone who appreciates real talent would have been shocked and amused by such a low score. As an Aussie I sadly think we have just become accustomed to being insulted at Eurovision and realise that we will never get a fair go as we are just not apart of Europe 😂Maybe next year we should send Vanessa Amorosi.
@@stephenmarshall1918 Well, this year voting was especially weird so I think your song was appreciated by many people. The result just didn't reflect it but it was same with many songs. I wouldn't take it seriously. They were surprised when they saw it like everyone else cause they know Eurovision well & they knew the song was good enough for the contest. Don't change your Eurovision style. I think you have lots of quality in your music. This year's song of yours was in my top 5 :)
@@annjemari Thanks Anna and yes I know that many like yourself did appreciate both Voyager's talent and their courage to do something a little different. TC
@@annjemari Not weird. Just set up for the abba aniversary next year.
@@Mr_jz_12 I know but the results were weird so that's it
Nice song and great voice! I have one more reason to love this song: frontman's grandfather comes from my native Ukraine. The world is so small at times.
Dear Australia, you did a great job this year!
того в нього обличчя знайоме…
Almost every year there's one act from Eurovision that I end up becoming a huge fan of... just booked to see Voyager in London later this year... can't wait!!!
Thank you Australia for sending the amazing Voyager to Eurovision!! 🇦🇺 What a song and what a performance!! Such powerful rocktastic brilliance with talented musicians, great lyrics and outstanding vocal performance!..Should have won....My winners all day long! ♥️
Killer vocals tonight! Perfect performance 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🎸🎹
Great job Australia, I gave you guys a vote!! Greetings all the way from the Netherlands :) 🇳🇱
Dankuwel from Australia
Mooi nummer hé
@@tonybarberiettaro6426 Ja! Echt leuk!
Blij meer Nederlanders te zien die dit nummer leuk vonden! Ik heb hier ook op gestemd
This was my favourite song this year. I was so surprised it didn't get way more points from the public.
I'll be following the band closely from now on.
AUSTRALIA, you’re definitely #1 for me!!! it’s CRAZY how "promise" just stuck in my head for days 😭 btw, it gives me 00’ rock energy
love from Russia 🤲🏻🤍
p.s.. I'm still VERY angry at the viewers for giving Australia such low scores. vocals, music, performance, energy and even words were ON FIRE!!! of course, it's a matter of taste, but in my opinion it was one of the best songs in the last three years 🙏🏻
Had two devices here in the UK doing all I could. Wishing all the best to Danny and looking forward to seeing you later this year.
I'm sorry, but a death growl, breakdown, guitar and keytar solo - how the hell this did not get more votes is scandalous!
This is one of the best songs this year. You deserved so much more.
Portugal and Iceland you rock!!!! Thanks so much for the 12 points ❤❤❤❤❤
So happy that our jury gave you 12 points 🙌 so tired of mainstream pop songs, fortunately some countries risk themselves with other music styles. Congrats for your 9th place . Love from 🇵🇹
@@a.m.1259 Mimikat was very good deserved more points than what she got❤❤
I'm so proud of our jury for giving their 12 points to Voyager ❤ It was a top 3 song in our household with Finland and Czechia
Love from Iceland 🇮🇸
why this is one of the GREAT Eurovision performances: A proper band, fun but totally professional, who OWN every last inch of the stage ------ a "local" outfit who then become globally known and successful on the back of these three minutes.
And of course it helps that the song is a total banger.
For me two first places Kaarija and Voyager. They rescued Euro Vision in this year.
Agree
My anger that kaarija didn't win is resurfacing 👹
I for some reason hadn't heard this song before the final. My all time Eurovision performance! I love the 80's retrowave theme
Along with Serbia and Finland the best entry this year!
What a kickass song!
Kudos to all you guys!!! You made my day, week, month, year... life!!!
Two thumbs up from Serbia!
Australia and Serbia were both great, but I don't think I will never understand the hype for Finland's one-note out-of-tune drilling.
Same top!
@@maxkho00 Its about craziness that song delivers. Its funny, quirky... Unlike the winner Loreen who is generic song, nothing special, nothing new we havent heard before. On the other side, Serbia and Australia are structurally very strong songs, with all the messages, stagings... Much more serious songs unlike Kaarija and Loreen, maybe too much serious for this type of competition. This competition become a competiton for the poverty and hungry masses, as we used to say in Serbia.
Serbia ended in very low position, and I don't understand why. The song was great. My 3 favs too.
@@carlospersini6239 My mind cant process that placing too... 😔
What a jubilantly optimistic song. Brilliantly soaring vocals (both lead and backing). Loved the stage set and graphics. A truly stunning performance overall. Voyager utterly smashed it.
This has to be the best Aussie Eurovision song,.
Danny I am sending you all my love and support.
Sound of silence for me
As an aussie, I loved that so much. Amazing performance and in my books, should have won!
at the end of the day top 10 and winners of 2nd semi final is something worth celebrating. if this is our last year in eurovision im happy it was this song, even if this is my 1st year getting super into it. the fact the music video was recorded in basically my backyard makes it even more special, best of luck for the future voyager!!
