in another vlog i showed how they changed the stage successfully. actually that afternoon they still didn't make it (with some delay), but in the live show they did a great job!
I can only imagine the adrenaline the performers feel in those few seconds where they’re about to perform in front of the world, representing their country, the postcard music is playing, and the lights turn off... those seconds probably feel like years aaah!!
I really hope australians are enjoying themselves at Eurovision so far, because they bring a refreshing amount of talent and quirkyness to the competition. I always look forward to their show !
Trust me, we're enjoying it. 😂 I hope we're invited back after our 5 year offer is up, and I'm looking forward to seeing what Montaigne brews up for 2021. She's an incredibly creative person and as she's guaranteed her 2021 spot I think she can really let herself go artistically (as can all the returning artists that don't have to compete for their spots!).
@@raerae734 I believe she is going to do a different song than the one she performed at Australia Decides...which i think is a good thing...for me it was just OK...not the best vocally on the night...but as you say she is a creative artist so I’m looking forward to whatever she does next!
It is amazing just to be able to watch how quickly they get all the sets together. The production team is just incredible and I feel like we often take them for granted.
Wtf the control that Kate has over her voice and breathe are absolutely amazing, being able to sing so well a song that's it's naturally difficult in such conditions, on unstable pole that even floats around... I can't even think of someone who can do this except her.
That moment when you’re being rolled onto a stage in front of 190 million people suspended on a giant bungee stick and thinking “right...we’re gonna do this!” 😂😂😂😂
The best, most amazing and most mysterious performance EVER. I always wondered how those sticks worked. But one question still remains- how do they get on and off from those sticks? 😳
Wow! Thanks for sharing this. I can appreciate this impressive performance so much better now that I can see the sticks and what they are actually doing. (compared to the green screened official video)
I don’t think I will ever not be obsessed with this performance 😍😍😍 And so impressed with their control on the poles! Were they mechanical or moved with their own body weight??
I know this is from over a year ago, but they're kevlar javelin poles (the performers came to my school years ago) They move with their body weight but they're well strapped in to a little platform and a frame. THe circus the performers are from are called Strange Fruit if you wanted to look them up.
This is the first music video to put a smile on my face, granted it has only been 15 years 😂. Zero Gravity is one of the many firsts in my life I will never forget it 🥲
Watching this in 2021, after Natalia dropped her mic in Rotterdam... I don't even want to imagine what would happen if Kate would drop that microphone :| that would be so bad on a live show :/
I think one of the reasons Australia cant win is that even if they did win Australia can not host the next eurovison and has to nominate a country in Europe this plays into the politics of eurovison I think when Dami nearly won 2 years ago some in Europe had a little scare
@@mkely9032 gday , Mk , yes if Australia won and then nominated the Uk to host it , woops , be interesting to see what happens if and when the UK leaves the EU , I wonder If there would be a change in voting
@@rongt859it's interesting that a lot of Europeans think Australia would nominated the UK. I don't think SBS - our broadcaster would do that to be honest.
....The reason why many in Europe didn't vote for her is due to the fact the songs about depression, post-natal depression. That's why you have 'depression' personified as the 2 'Demonators' behind her, always on her back and how she broke free from them, depression. Many didn't understand the meaning/message of the song and why it was staged the way it was.
@@max.dumbleton ehmm... it was held in israel, and to such people, israel is certainly not europe either, yet it still won, because most people just want to appreciate the songs and performance. i am from holland and i thought this was the best performance of the evening and i voted for this.
In the beginning someone in the audience says "Illuminati", referring to Madonna's Rebel Heart Tour. I was thinking the same thing. Anyways, amazing performance!
Maybe some of the singers/production people on here can answer this?? But why on earth would KMH choose to use a HANDHELD MIC to perform this song? Like she is 5+ metres up, if she accidentally **drops the mic** mid-song the performance is all over! And if she used an attached mic like she did in the National Final, surely her hands would be more free to help navigate the giant pole and perform the arm choreography for the songs that had been rehearsed. Just curious after all these years!
Watching a lot of her live performances - she moderates the volume going into the mic by holding it away from her etc. Probably impossible to do with the attached mike. She could also (I think) get a bit more momentum going in the swing - watching how she moves it from hand to hand. Kudos to her for it. Us Aussies know that she can make her voice do anything she wants it too... but on top of an 18 foot pole.... amazing.
She is born in Australia but she is half Polish. Australia has a large Polish population as well numerous other European nationalities. They are an extremely multicultural country
No offense but seriously since when Australia is a part of Europe? If Australia can enter Eurovision then other countries outside Europe should also be able to do that. But the performance was really good tho. Especially being brave enough to do that is really impressive.
@@MrHoelderlin it's EUROvision. But anyways I don't have any problem with Australia. I'm just saying if it's not limited to European countries then other countries should also join.
@@OXIR Eurovision is the name of the GLOBAL tv network who runs the song contest, and its named that because thats where its based, not because its exclusive to geographic Europe. At least do basic research before asking tired questions, participation is granted on EBU membership, not where you country is. Or did you for some reasons think that the entire middle Eastern block of Israel, Azerbaijan, Turkey, Armenia are European countries? Or that the very African Morocco was a European country? sorry but you sound ignorant

I didn’t realise how quickly they go from one song to the next. I’m really impressed with stage crew!
in another vlog i showed how they changed the stage successfully. actually that afternoon they still didn't make it (with some delay), but in the live show they did a great job!
But now you have to wonder about 2018 seeing they had so many platforms and Estonia’s dress
This will forever be iconic.
And it didn’t win, it’s just impossible how it didn’t win
gäÿ mëmëböï ikr!
You can’t deny that Arcade just felt more impactful. This is definetly the best staging in esc history though
@@memeboi8472 because it was nothing new nor special
It was the best performance I think !
The amount of nerve it would take to just go out there on a giant stick and kill a song in front of millions just blows my mind
She overcame post natal depression to be there - I think the pole was small fry!!
@Duke Jagger this is an esc video nearly two years old. Do your scam somewhere else lmao

and to not miss a note as she soars through the octaves

Australia always watched the contest enthusiastically even before being invited to join.
Definitely! Even if we didn’t qualify, watching Eurovision at 5:00AM with mates is the best😆
I admire Australians in this contest! Keep up the great work 🤩
i love how she floats onstage with her arms spread like "ah yes, it is i, your fairy queen"
I would happily accept Kate as my fairy queen :D
This would be me visiting Australia while trying to avoid all the spiders and snakes and other giant animals crawling on the ground
BYE
THIS
Dw we'll keep u safe lol Fr tho, what Jxtt says is true.
the only things you need ta worry about are spiders, but you rarely have accidental encounters with them dw
Best performance ever in Eurovision history!
You have not watched enough eurovision
also one of the most creative ones.... like I didn't have had any idea that it would be staged like this
maybe one of the best
This is the most impressive one, that's undeniable
Undeniably the most original, yet underrated performance ever on Eurovision.
It is amazing just to be able to watch how quickly they get all the sets together. The production team is just incredible and I feel like we often take them for granted.
The fact that she hit those notes while swinging around on a pole so high above the ground is absolutely amazing
Wtf the control that Kate has over her voice and breathe are absolutely amazing, being able to sing so well a song that's it's naturally difficult in such conditions, on unstable pole that even floats around... I can't even think of someone who can do this except her.

I cannot believe that she made it purely 👁️ 👄 👁️
It was amazing :)
That's the closest camera angle of all of them - well done!
For me, this is the most iconic performance ever! The idea is just beyond any eurovision has ever imagined before!
And it came all the way from Australia!
I've been watching Eurovision for years and THIS was the best staging I have ever seen, It sent chills down my spine.
My goodness. What a performance! So incredibly moving
Australia realised what Europe wanted
A lady singing opera on a wobbling rod.
4 years later and I can only think of one word.... mesmerizing ❤
Kate ist ein absolutes Ausnahmetalent. Was für eine Frau, der Song ist so toll, Akustische Version ebenfalls. Aber wer so singen kann.....wow❤️
probs the only act which did not stand on the actual stage itself to be in top 10 and im ALL HERE FOR ITTT
One of the Best Performances. If there is Best in Special Effects, no other contender.
It’s amazing how she got a louder cheer just coming on then Switzerland got for their whole performance
Performance which we didn't wanted , but really needed...
This will be forever iconic
From that angle you can realise how high she really is
OMG. i would die. i could never. but she KILLED it!
Imagine the job listing for the dancers:
“Must not be afraid of heights”
Lollll true
That entrance though
She entered like a ghost! 😂
Marou05 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Marou05 dude, if ghosts were that pretty i would let them haunt me all day lmao
The best, most amazing and most mysterious performance EVER. I always wondered how those sticks worked. But one question still remains- how do they get on and off from those sticks? 😳
She was the best.
True winner!🇦🇺🏆🎤
Дмитрий Шаповалов No, Cyprus is the true winner!
Leah Rowden no, Australia is. I don’t even remember cyrpus’ performance. I can remember this one vividly
Yeah the winner but sadly this sing did not win.
Stunning performance ❤
Wow! Thanks for sharing this. I can appreciate this impressive performance so much better now that I can see the sticks and what they are actually doing. (compared to the green screened official video)
Sacrée performance ! Elle était ma favorite !
I don’t think I will ever not be obsessed with this performance 😍😍😍
And so impressed with their control on the poles! Were they mechanical or moved with their own body weight??
Body weight- she was singing AND doing all the movements!!
I know this is from over a year ago, but they're kevlar javelin poles (the performers came to my school years ago) They move with their body weight but they're well strapped in to a little platform and a frame.

i legit thought they had a bigger chance at winning that my own country (netherlands), still love the song
And the whole choir forms in the audience...

Europe will never vote for them no matter how good they are. The uk has a similar problem now.

I think it’s also because some annoying people think the name Eurovision just means people from Europe can sing in it and Australia isn’t European
No they didn’t vote for us because we are Australia and we aren’t in Europe so “why do we deserve to win?”.

The money shot is at 3:20 ad so beautiful
This is beautiful and amazing
Those stage hands certainly earn their money
I dislike the song but am impressed with the core strength to sing and preform on that thing.
that looks like so much fun
Thank you for sharing! What a performance! What a production.
I loved this😍😍😍
Thank you... you just show me the last mystery of life.....
Now i can die peacefully 😌
Amazing.
Good..i miss eurovision
the followspots must've had so much fun with this... literally just going back and forth 😂
WOW I am speechless
3:02 GOSH, DARN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
0:56 "illuminati"

Guy in background: iLlUmInAtE
should have won damn
that undignified roll off stage xD
Should've won
This looks dangerous and I’m scared looking at this
I LOVE this performance. does anyone know how this technology is called?
In the beginning someone in the audience says "Illuminati", referring to Madonna's Rebel Heart Tour. I was thinking the same thing. Anyways, amazing performance!
WHAT HE SAID ON 0:57?
Now imagine if those poles were green screened out like Greece 2021.
How did thay come up with the idea thay were like your song is called zero gravity make it like you are in space
There are saying nothing holding down there on a big rod
Maybe some of the singers/production people on here can answer this?? But why on earth would KMH choose to use a HANDHELD MIC to perform this song?

@@AndrewP-b9v Even then, why did they not attach some sort of wire between the microphone and her wrist?
Can you upload Spain please?!

Is she from Australia or Polish?
She is born in Australia but she is half Polish. Australia has a large Polish population as well numerous other European nationalities. They are an extremely multicultural country
@@JC-pg3cy It was a joke (she's on top of a pole).
A ty znasz polski?
I’d get so nauseated
"ILLUMINATI!" HAHAHHAHAHHAHA
Where's the big globe? 😁
what if she dropped her microphone 😰
She was relying on zero gravity...
I think she had another one somewhere hidden in her dress...
I wonder where those sticks go in to.... hm...
How the fuck do they control their movements
Зачем их на кол посадили?
Бурлаки на Евровидение
Nothing more obnoxious than loud crowds DURING a performance.

no, to be honest the vocals were perfect for a stage song
@@zet5697 I beg to differ. I was there. Good - it wasn't. As was Madonna.
@@TheShislon i was at the national final and saw no issue with it so idk what your peeve is
@@inari.28 - I saw this live performance from row 4 at the final. Again, taking out the pole gimmick, it's a dull, meaningless song, imho.
