Hey WiwiBloggs, my name is Courtney Gardiner and I live in the same town as Isaiah and I was wondering if I could share this video to the community of Echuca/Moama? The community would love to see Isaiah in rehearsal and to show support to his incredible work he is doing for Australia.
You know what works with Australia? A lot has been said about this entry, staging-wise. But I think it's Isaiah emotive charm. He has such a pronounced, cute face that, with his melancholical eyebrows, really induce some goosebumps. Combined with his relatively deep, soul voice, and his charisma, I think people will connect with this boy. Slightly underestimated by many press people. Good luck from The Netherlands. PS: Never leave Eurovision anymore Australia, you're now officially a bit European :-). Hugs, Gert
Gert that's so kind of you! What is impressing me most about Isaiah is his belief in himself. With a decent song and simple staging there would be no distractions from his great voice :)
Gert NL Thanks mate for such wonderful comments! Very kind of you! Australian Broadcaster SBS has been broadcasting the Eurovision Song Contest every year since 1983, so you can imagine how much Australian people love this show. In fact, it makes us feel proud to be a part of Eurovision now! You're welcome to visit and explore our part of the world. 😊 Best wishes, Ross. (Melbourne, Australia)
I don't know how some people can't tell that he is preserving his vocals A LOT in this rehearsal, like it's SO obvious??? This aint Isaiah at full power, you haven't seen that yet and you won't until the Semi Final. He even said himself he gives his rehearsals 70% and on the night it's the full 100%. P.S there's no camera angles in this video so you we won't see that finished product until the night. I personally found how they've done the background with the LED's of him SO affective, it actually looks really cool, like REALLY
I love you my Isaiah 💯 Go! You can do it 🎉🎉🎉 You have a unique voice and powerful 🎤🌹 Everything "Don't Come Easy" but just want to let you know. I'm here to support you 💯
However this sounds (and to me it sounds pretty good), I know what a stunning voice he has and how wonderful person he is. And to me, this song is BEAUTIFUL! GO ISAIAAAAH 💛
Not a fan of this song, but I gotta give it to Australia: they have sent amazing vocalists with beautiful and well thought stagings three years in a row. Great job! :)
I like this. What Australia does every single time is change a performance of a straight forward song into a performance as if it's a personal concert. and THAT is what gets them across the threshold. Having said that, this staging looks empty... it will come down to the camera angles whether this will work or not....
Why did people reiterate he forgot a lyrics? He was 15 years old then he forgot .That hurts him too. After that, he never forgets a lyrics. If a fan should believe in him.
Whoa that's so trippy lol! His vocal arrangement is a lot better...not quite Dami Im but I give him credit for trying, at the same time shouldn't really compare them because they are different kind of artists :/ But he has improved a lot and considering his age and experience...it's good to see that he may not get 2nd place but he can be proud of his achievement in improving as an artist and taking it as a learning experience like a sponge. The rotating thing is cool but some parts probably he is walking on it for abit long it's like he is singing whilst on a threadmill and he is facing the side (but dunno it could be a camera angle thing :/ and audience maybe that direction too) lol. It doesn't seem to be getting in the way of his vocal (doesnt seem to show) but I dunno there seems to be a lot going on with that and the backdrop, which I like the colour of but some of it seems out of place of the song kinda random lol. But I wonder how the camera angles going to be...I hope they'll be some close ups of him on stage, not mainly focusing on the backdrop.. With the lighting, I was kinda hoping for something similar to the way they did on the reveal of him being the Australian artist...like at 50secs it could go dark..pause then suddenly he sings from another area or adjust the lighting to the mood of the song on him somehow more. It'll be hard to adjust now though as with the backdrop might be bit much. But I'm probably analyzing too much, too early lol coz I dunno how it's going to be on the night.

Love the song, love his voice, but something is not quite right. It feels awkward. Based on studio versions only, this was my second favorite entry... probably it won't be at the contest
EL ES EL MEJOR NO LO DISCUTAIS Y QUIEN ME DE LA CONTRARIA IRE A SU CASA Y LE RAJARE PORQUE ES EL HOMBRE MAS GUAPA EN EL MUNDO Y PORQUE AUSTRALIA ES EL MEJOR PAIS DEL MUNDO
Yeah good voice but I didn't like the mix of his vocals and the background singers in the end! Like I really love the studio version but this live is not great, but good!
I really hope he's holding back so not to strain his voice, but I'm also concerned cause he's still really inexperienced and his vocals lack highs and lows. Still, I can't wish anything but the best for my country,
Don't think so. Swedens performance was made before februari. It won Melodifestivalen. Australia have only released a musicvideo. No one knew how their performance would look.
One thing is a singer having a big image of themselves on the the background of their concert. The fans attending the concert paid to see that specific singer and are there because they adore him/her/then. In a contest like this is a bit off putting, especially with supposedly serious moody songs, makes the singer look quite narcissistic, of the images of themselves used a background this year only digging Moldova. All the others are either annoying or very scary.
This feels incredibly derivative - both in terms of the song and the staging. He doesn't look at ease on the turntable at all - and that communicates to the audience.
Please stop that round walking-thing. It would be so much better if it was just him singing, with a bit of staging. This just looks like a failed attempt to make a show. Make it intimate instead. Or not, because it means a bigger chance for my country and actual good songs lmao.
Isaiah brings this song to life in the live performance. Australia is behind you!
Well, I'm starting to like this song every day more and more. Well done Australia!!
me too lets hope we win eurovision
Danish 20 EVAN PETERS
One of my favorites. Great voice!
Those vocals.. wow!!!! This looks very sophisticated and classy.. *two thumbs up*
Isaiah is going to make Australia 🇦🇺 proud. Go Isaiah
His voice actually kill me. He's my favourite this year 😍12 points to Australia 💜
He's awesome. Australia as good as always!
I feel like this is the Frans from last year, all wiwibloggers hate it, but it still ends up doing quite respectably in the finals
not true, fans quite like him compared to Frans last year.
Alex i dont mind this, but the Frans of this year I think is Belgium (Blanche) good to listen to the studio version yet a total snooze on stage
Alex Frans was the "winner" last year because he was the one who got more popular all over Europe his music played
Alex Frans has no voice at all and his song was shit. This is art.
Alex art??? dont exagerate this song is very ordinary it reminds me of Sam Smith... art... what big laugh
He's amazing!
I still think this is amazing, GOOD LUCK ISAIAH
He can really sing, wow, what a voice
A sure qualifier. Looks and sounds really good. :)
AMAZING VOCALS !!!! XD
I didn't love this before the rehearsal but now i love it so much!!
Qualify for sure!!! 😍😍😍😍
Idk if everyone knows about this but his single "its gotta be you" has done very very well.
Brilliant :)
His runs are *clutches chest* beautiful
It's you!

Isaiah is absolutely going to SLAY.... best voice in the competition!!! TOP 5 for sure!!!!
It should qualify and finish top 10. Isaiah is a really nice guy and will perform well on the night.
Wow, first Dami and now Isaiah! Fantastic vocals, so impressed. Good luck Australia! Love from the UK 🇬🇧
Dislikes??? brilliant voice!!!! sounds perfect
He sings flawlessly and deservs to qualifiy, even if I'm not the biggest fan of the song :)
Good luck from Belgium! Love it

Indeed ;-). I amso curious about Eurovision in Australia though. How...is this perceived in Australia? Is now the entire country watching?
It was already popular before we competed. Has been shown on tv for decades

The staging looks interesting, we'll see how it turns out on the night then.
Love his voice. The song sounds so much better with the changes. Top 5
I swear to god I can imagine the cameras on him and the angles it will be so lit
He has loads of talent - hope he performs well on the night. Go boy!
That voice is so impressive live holy shit
THE BEST!!!
well done Australia
I love you Isaiah
Amazing!!!!!!!
I love you my Isaiah 💯 Go! You can do it 🎉🎉🎉 You have a unique voice and powerful 🎤🌹 Everything "Don't Come Easy" but just want to let you know. I'm here to support you 💯
Proud of the kid. Nice work!
Another perfect vocalist :-)
Wait for Australia for their surprise. Remember, they don't disappoint 2 contests in a row. Include this one too once it gets into the finals.
Australia dosent belong in Eurovision. But Isaiah is gonna give everyone of us a great performance, hes voice is perfection to the fingertip!
However this sounds (and to me it sounds pretty good), I know what a stunning voice he has and how wonderful person he is. And to me, this song is BEAUTIFUL! GO ISAIAAAAH 💛
He is definitely holding back on the vocal for this rehearsal.
brilliant
I think this staging might actually work on live TV
I can tell this is going to look so great on live TV
he's voice is amazing.
I like it
I love it!!!
His voice his so 😍 especially 'cause he's so young. I'm in love with this honestly! But I feel that there should be more "action" in this
2:14 he failed that note in the semi final really bad ;(
but he nailed it here! good luck in the grand final!
He is amazing ♥
😍❤ he is so beautiful
Bravo! My second favourite!
The staging isn't how I expected it to be, but it somehow makes me like the song more....okay?
To be fair it sounds like he's singing A Capella at times because the instrumental is so quiet
Not a fan of this song, but I gotta give it to Australia: they have sent amazing vocalists with beautiful and well thought stagings three years in a row. Great job! :)
He should do a whisle at the end
Brilliant!!
I don't like the song but his voice is amazing, like it's a pleasure to listen him.
He sounds so much like Sam Smith
Cool! Good luck from Belarus!
I like this. What Australia does every single time is change a performance of a straight forward song into a performance as if it's a personal concert. and THAT is what gets them across the threshold. Having said that, this staging looks empty... it will come down to the camera angles whether this will work or not....
While the UK have been losing song quality, Australia is now the top "English as a first language" competitor in the contest.
This would be amazing with a gospel choir in the background!
2.15 Obsessed!!
to many walk...that way he cannot concentrate to take care his voice...hope much better in live. any wsy still TOP 3
fbkawan
Sweden walked more than him.
Why did people reiterate he forgot a lyrics? He was 15 years old then he forgot .That hurts him too. After that, he never forgets a lyrics. If a fan should believe in him.
fbkawan Rather walk than a horse head or some bizarre thing going on around him. This will be huge on the night. No doubt.
Best than semifinal
where is the pyro?
James Travis - This was his 1st rehearsal today, the 3rd experimental rehearsal had the pyro shower.
thanks boo 😉
It's like he's on an uncontrollable Segway
Whoa that's so trippy lol! His vocal arrangement is a lot better...not quite Dami Im but I give him credit for trying, at the same time shouldn't really compare them because they are different kind of artists :/ But he has improved a lot and considering his age and experience...it's good to see that he may not get 2nd place but he can be proud of his achievement in improving as an artist and taking it as a learning experience like a sponge.

Why does the background look like a Target advertisement?

I really liked this song but those changes.... they don't really work :(
I love his voice but I don't get the staging really. He so looks like a young Mick Jaggar, handsome lad.
i liked it a lot but i'm kinda underwhelmed with this :/ i'll have to see this on tuesday to really see how it translates
This was so good. I mean why only 9th
I never heard the whole song :)
Not this year Australia.
Sweden? Wow Robin xd xd hahaha
WOw, he stay walking :P
Love the song, love his voice, but something is not quite right. It feels awkward. Based on studio versions only, this was my second favorite entry... probably it won't be at the contest
Robin will be mad if he will see his track
EL ES EL MEJOR NO LO DISCUTAIS Y QUIEN ME DE LA CONTRARIA IRE A SU CASA Y LE RAJARE PORQUE ES EL HOMBRE MAS GUAPA EN EL MUNDO Y PORQUE AUSTRALIA ES EL MEJOR PAIS DEL MUNDO
Perdon queria decir guapo en ves de guapa
Perdon queria decir guapo en ves de guapa
Perdon queria decir guapo en ves de guapa
Perdon queria decir guapo en ves de guapa
Perdon queria decir guapo en ves de guapa
Australia its not in Europe 😂😂😂😂 Whyyyy ? 😂 But i like this sonng 😍
I hope this will stay in semi...it's not even europe...
Yeah good voice but I didn't like the mix of his vocals and the background singers in the end! Like I really love the studio version but this live is not great, but good!
Omg did he just steal Sweden's tread mill?
I really hope he's holding back so not to strain his voice, but I'm also concerned cause he's still really inexperienced and his vocals lack highs and lows. Still, I can't wish anything but the best for my country,
why do I love all the disliked songs im
αυτός μοιάζει πιο πολλη για αγγλος παρα Αυστραλός!!!!!
Australia, really?? You had to copy Sweden with the treadmill! Serious...
Maybe Sweden copied Australia??
Don't think so. Swedens performance was made before februari. It won Melodifestivalen. Australia have only released a musicvideo. No one knew how their performance would look.
Kaityloveorli It shouldn't be about a platform anyway. Australia doesn't need to steal anything. Isaiah has an impressive voice. But good luck to all.
Well that I agree on!
Grand final worthy or not. Comment yes or no
Arianator and Lovatic Big yes
Arianator and Lovatic - Best vocals. He is holding back in this rehearsal. Top 5 in final :)
I wish we didn't send another ballad this year
One thing is a singer having a big image of themselves on the the background of their concert. The fans attending the concert paid to see that specific singer and are there because they adore him/her/then. In a contest like this is a bit off putting, especially with supposedly serious moody songs, makes the singer look quite narcissistic, of the images of themselves used a background this year only digging Moldova. All the others are either annoying or very scary.
I think his face in the background ruined the song, I'm sorry....
Australia is a distant continent, this song proves it very well. Not my fave.
This feels incredibly derivative - both in terms of the song and the staging. He doesn't look at ease on the turntable at all - and that communicates to the audience.
Please stop that round walking-thing. It would be so much better if it was just him singing, with a bit of staging.
This just looks like a failed attempt to make a show.
Make it intimate instead. Or not, because it means a bigger chance for my country and actual good songs lmao.
In a strange way I like the stage but this song is not for the final. Sorry Aussie.
ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.... well, at least he can sing.
It looks kinda ridiculous when he walks on the disk.
Sorry Australia, it is to boring this year
Christina Berggren yea, agree.But i think Austrialia will qualifite because it's Australia and jury save him...
Groszeeg121 not because is australiaaa because this is really amazingg gurl and the vocal is stunning!!!!
