  • Australia have really surprised me, the range of elements in this song are amazing. This performance was so much fun to react to. What do you guys think? Could Australia be Eurovision Song Contest's 2023 Winner? Let me know in the comments section below.
    Thanks for watching.

    Thank you for your kind words - this was the most Australian music scene entry that we'have ever sent, we have a very strong rock band music culture. These guys have been around for 24 years, they are independent and from Western Australia - not the East. We often don't do well in public votes and yet this little band that could (with a stunning guitarist who was the only woman in any of the bands and suffers from chronic Migaines and yet gave her all) won it's semi final and finished 9th in the final (despite only getting 21 points from the public in the final).

      Wow I didn’t know all of the back story. You can tell they’re an experienced band. The way they performed and dipped into multiple genres was impressive. They deserved more recognition. Also what a trooper that lady is in the band.

    As an Aussie who self learnt drums back in the 70s l absolutely love this song. Yes I am 62yrs old and love this. The car on stage is owned by the lead singer and an 80s classic car. Incredible that the lead guitarist suffers chronic migraines like l do. I hope this brings them the fame they honestly deserve. Aussie Aussie Aussie.😎

    Interestingly they won the Semi Final, soley public vote yet were 20th public vote in the final, even though the audio and vocals was even better. They ended up 9th place and most of the acts that beat them were from the first semi, so I think a percentage of the people who voted for them in the second semi probably had a local favorite to vote for so they were like second choice for many. Musically ithad to be top 3 or even first.

      The semi finals were recorded and the votes went through from a jury, I saw the second semi final live and the live votes that opened went towards the finals not the semis. Unfortunately Eurovision do this every year to force more votes out of people.

      @@mell7524 Honestly, Voyager weren't the only great act to score low in the televote, and I think it was because everyone knew the overall win would come down to a straight fight between Sweden and Finland, so a lot of rock/alternative fans threw their votes at Finland to try to get them across the line. I don't think the final vote results were truly indicative of how popular the songs were, in other words. The final was a big tactical voting exercise. Australia winning the semi-final was a much more accurate guide to how appreciated they were.
