[Carbonox]

So much better than everything else today.

 

[Jasup]

This isn't half bad.
Better than the previous song.

 

[T.O.P]

YAS

this is great

 

[Kinokou]

Wait, what, Australia is a permanent contestant now?

They have my vote.

 

[MightGoThere]

Now we're talking, this is better. I like all of this. Cool stage, cool girl, ok song.

 

[ShinRPGamer]

Well holy crap this is actually pretty damn good.

 

[laoni]

The Aussie commentators kept talking up her staging, but, I'm underwhelmed so far

 

[Tugatrix]

Take notes other countries this is how to do it

 

[Lovely Salsa]

What happens if Australia wins?

 

[Rahvar]

Look son, a non European country in Eurovision.

Azerbadjan, Israel and Turkey says hi...

 

[Quonny]

I like her omni-tool.

 

[obin_gam]

So... what are the betting odds for Australia again?

 

[SLV]

Yeah, lets make the whole of EU go to AUS next year, i agree, AUS is the best one today.

 

[Mesousa]

She's owning this.

 

[magnificenz]

I wish dami im sing super love instead of this shite song

 

[MightGoThere]

I'm totally impressed, this is great actually.

 

[spekkeh]

Impressive legs.

 

[Katana_Strikes]

Well I wouldn't wanna follow that. League ahead of the rest.

 

[swordfishtrombones]

Alonso should get some championship points for that reply "... they changed drivers?"

Oops: wrong thread.

 

[Jasup]

Yes, that was the best so far.

 

[DrM]

Ok, take my apologies for the next one

 

[Joni]

What happens if Australia wins?

Yeah, lets make the whole of EU go to AUS next year, i agree, AUS is the best one today.

They will pick a European host nation. They won't broadcast from Australia.

 

[Parham]

Has a non-European country ever won Eurovision?

 

[T.O.P]

GODDAMN GURL

 

[oti]

I bet she'll be an even bigger favourite come Saturday after this.

 

[Jamie OD]

Wouldn't be shocked if Australia wins it. That was strong.

 

[evilpigking]

The Aussie commentators kept talking up her staging, but, I'm underwhelmed so far

The opening where it looked like a city was cool. But the rest was pretty standard. Song wise and voice though clearly the best so far

 

[laoni]

Yeah, lets make the whole of EU go to AUS next year, i agree, AUS is the best one today.

Alas, we cannot host Eurovision outside of Europe by the rules. So if Australia wins, we have to partner with another country in Europe to host for us

 

[Dee Dee]

What happens if Australia wins?

They need to pick a European partner to host the competition in Europe, but will be a host and allowed to participate next year for sure. Otherwise it's not confirmed that they return again (but pretty likely given that performance just now).

 

[obin_gam]

Has a non-European country ever won Eurovision?

Yeah DIVA INTERNATIONAL!

[Spyware]

What happens if Australia wins?

They host together with some other country within the EBU "borders". So no, we're not going to Australia.

 

[ShinRPGamer]

What happens if Australia wins?

I believe they get to choose and negotiate a country and city to host the next Eurovision.

Also you better bring her to the finals Europe. Best song tonight by far.

 

[Ghostage]

Australia sets the standard two years in a row.

 

[red731]

I love this bondage clothing. *Claps

 

[Tugatrix]

beewwwbbssss

 

[Quonny]

Yooo that top.

 

[MicH]

Birthe Kjær commentating with the Dansh commentator. I love Birthe so much!

 

[laoni]

I'm waiting for the promised poledancer

 

[Lender]

Great outfit.

 

[Red Arremer]

Look son, a non European country in Eurovision.

Refer to the OP.

 

[Kinokou]

Well I wouldn't wanna follow that. League ahead of the rest.

Seems to go well!

 

[GrayFoxPL]

Australia did good.

 

[Jyrii]

That drumming is horrible

 

[Mesousa]

"Blue is blue and red is red"

Cheers for those great lyrics slovenia..

 

[Peru]

Song's ok but she's no Tina Maze

 

[DrM]

I'm waiting for the promised poledancer

Male poledancer

 

[Dee Dee]

This is not awful, but after Australia just now it feels really flat. Poor Slovenia, bad luck with the running order for them.

What happened to her dress though that she had to improvise and wear THIS?

Also, random athlete. Okay.

 

[Auron_Kale]

Australia has the song so far in this semi, great vocals and performance.

Slovenia isn't bad but the dress doesn't match the song to me.

 

[Joni]

Has a non-European country ever won Eurovision?

Israel has three wins. Azerbaijan won in 2011 and Turkey in 2003 depending on whether you consider them European or Asian.

 

[T.O.P]

Who's that lol
