Hallelujah...I'll tell you what I LOVE about this video that is refreshingly different. Whoever suggested these full blown close ups totally gets it, and totally gets the magic of Isaiah to have figured out to do it this way. He carries this off like many would not be able to. His essence is magnetic. Not a single bell or whistle in sight. Not a single scantily clad female, no special effects, no fast changing shots - just raw talent, luminosity and a compellingly beautiful intensity that will no doubt be a hallmark of his for his entire career. Talk about the X Factor. Well done Isaiah - what a beautiful soul you are, and well done creative team. Bloody marvellous.
He is also very humble with a heart of gold. Besides his golden vocal chords that is! He is the sole financial support of his family and is happy to do so at the age of 17. His dream is to build a home for his family. That says volumes about his character. Bloody awesome kid!!!!
His voice is seriously enchanting - I don't mean to sound condescending but considering he's only 17 it's a really mature voice, and such a beautiful and simple ballad with a lovely sentiment to show it off! I'm so pleased Australia are in the contest, they absolutely deserve to be and so far have delivered 3 great entries. Can't wait for their choice next year, but for now congratulations from UK on a knockout this year
I've never in my life commented on anything, but this young man, is amazing from the inside out. He has a beautiful voice, but it's his humility and beautiful heart that is what radiates!!!!! I hope he never forgets where he came from..
Isaiah is all that you see radiate from him, and where he comes from is what shines from within. He will never forget where he comes from as it makes him who he is....A man of heart and soul with a deep passion that pours from within that is purely natural. The first time I saw him sing, I knew he was very special!!!!
Seeing all of these supportive comments from other countries, I just want to say something THANK YOU, FROM AUSTRALIA We were all really excited to be in Eurovision and it is amazing seeing all of these amazing supportive countries
Oh Isaiah your voice is superb. I wish you all the luck in the world. You will make Australia so very proud of you, no matter where you are placed. Absolutely exquisite
Sugar Free Anthems Lol I know The Anime Man and I also know that he isn't Isaiah. If Joey aka The Anime Man claimed that he'd be Isaiah, then it was a joke. Isaiah is definitely aboriginal, 'cause the TV moderator mentioned it and you can see that he also looks like it.
Sugar Free Anthems He once said in a vid that his Australian side is half German and half Hungarian, so it's impossible that Joey is Isaiah or even aboriginal;D
Now you're saying this song is boring but you don't even know how hypnotising is his voice during live performances. That will be pure magic and only fools who like cheap disco and commercial sensation will complain about Isaiah. Greetings from Poland Isaiah!
When you can get up and mesmerize an audience like Isaiah can then you will win the right to be so critical. This is a classic pop song with a singer who is outstanding.
Kristian from Bulgaria and him were the best! Their both so young only 17 years old yet their voices are so powerful. They should've won honestly, they need to get signed by a record deal. They're too good!
Even though this year's list of entries is filled with ballads I think that Australia brought the best one so far. Isaiah's voice just seems to be out of this world. The song might be a bit underwhelming, but there's no doubt Isaiah will deliver it perfectly. Thank you Australia for being a part of this contest! Good luck from Romania!
Stephen Podesta Didn't he win X factor? well there are still more than 15 songs to be released. I don't know if Isaiah will score enough to get a top 5, we'll see
I agree. But the Portuguese song is a case in itself. It would be good for the prestige of the Eurovision that could for once win a pure and timeless song. PORTUGAL. No official video ... yet. Good luck Australia
You have no idea just how good Isaiah is until you almost have a breakdown watching him perform live on tv (or even real life if you're lucky, unfortunately not me yet). His performance of A Change Is Gonna Come on xFactor last year had me pretty much in tears because his voice is so beautiful 😍 Australia's got your back Zai, no matter what song you sing ❤️
Australia always brings perfection in music. This was a perfect example of it. Special thanks to the international juries for sending this song into the top 10 in the final
Apart from that hiccup in the semi final, his whole performance was so good. I actually love the song even more. Isaiah you're so humble and extremely talented. No matter what happens you will definitely have a successful career and sell lots of records and tour the world. 12pts 👍
People are only hating on this because this is a ballad. Yes, we have a lot of ballads this year, but this one is clearly one of the best. It is also one of the most contemporary songs this year. Great job Australia!!
Thanks for your kind words Sophie! Many other countries are being panned as well (poor Ireland!) I hope Isaiah's skin is thick enough to weather this process and that he doesn't read the comments
agree Im hating this ballad year a lot, but I love ballads but most of this year are really bad plain and boring... not Australias case, I think is great
Wow... I actually really love this song. I don't get all the negative comments from everyone. I absolutely love his voice! Being 17 and getting into Eurovision is such a huge accomplishment. And I don't even care that ballads keep getting in- it's because they're the easiest to convey a message into. Great job Isaiha!
"No I don't, don't wanna mess with your head. But my love, it's hard to love again It don't come easy and it don't come cheap Been burned too many times to love easily Don't mistake me, my love runs deeps But it don't come easy, it don't come cheap No, not with me!" Love it!! 😍👍❤ Good Luck from Cyprus!!!
It's already a hit, because this song is basically a copycat of her own song Hello, the piano rhythm is practically the same and it's very clear to see!
Everything about marketing. Just look at how Hello was promoted, you saw that even in your fkn soup. I like soup. Ups, I mean Adele :D But that's the truth about hits, money -> Hit.
My my, that's a very nice voice!! I am really happy that Australia get to be in the Eurovision song contest. Not only they have talented singers, but they also present people with colour. 12 points for Australia from Belgium!!! :)
Artur it's amusing that you called him nice 'fella' because that's an Aboriginal term to describe each other. (We're Whitefellas and they're Blackfellas!) Best wishes and thank you ;)
There were a lot of good songs tonight, but this is my favourite. Love it. What a fantastic voice Isaiah has. So mature. Hard to believe he's only 17 listening to him sing.
Dami Im wasn't experienced and she did well. She was on XFactor too. Isaiah was only really nervous during his audition. After that he calmed down and sang his heart out. Yes, I think they could have given him a better song that really showcased his vocal range, but this song is beautiful and his voice is outstanding. I think he will perform well on stage. You can tell he puts a low of emotion into his performances and his words are believable.
I really want to like Australian songs, but so far I liked none of them. Dami Im was the best contestant, but her chosen song, imo, was worse than many of her other songs.
I just bought a copy of his first cd from Sanity.com and it was personally signed by Isaiah. It has all the songs he did on Xfactor plus his single It's Gotta Be You. This kid could sing anything and sound great. You can watch his performances on XFactor. I have to admit he does all the songs better on the CD than he did on the show. Pass the word along to others. This kid deserves a good career and I feel he will be an international star, if Sony gives him good songs to sing. He drove 6 hours every weekend to take voice lessons. He came from a poor background and often didn't have lunch money at school and went to bed hungry a lot of nights. He said even buying clothes was difficult sometimes. He worked entering song contests to help pay bills and said he was happy to do it. His dream is to build his family a home! He had never had a birthday party, until they had one for him when XFactor went with him for a home visit. He is such a humble kid with a heart and voice of gold. If you like Isaiah, also check out Matt Terry who won the Voice in the United Kingdom in 2016. Especially, watch Matt sing weeks 1, 4 and 7 on You Tube.
Regardless of all the negative opinions of the song put forward this year for Eurovision from Australia, the purity of the voice behind it will make it a massive hit good luck #ISAIAHFIREBRACE #EUROVISIONWINNERRIGHTHERE! You make all of us Aussies so so proud!
Mathias the Belgian entry will be well received down here also-4th yr in a row that the Belgian entry is something to make your country very proud of its talent.
As an Aussie that is living in Brussels - this makes me happy. I love Eurovision. I'd love to watch it some day. The Belgian entry is great this year also.
I thinks it's a really nice, catching and powerful song which deals with much emotions. His voice is actually beautiful and until now it's my favourite esc song for 2017. It's a ballad, and I know we have a lot ballads but this one is in my opinion outstanding. The song is not overpowered and its calm atmosphere is very pleasant. Good work Australia! I wish you the best of luck! Greetings from Germany. 😊
Congratulations for getting "Double platinum" in Sweden for your single "It's gotta be you". You've only been in the music industry less than 6mths and you've achieved so much. More success in the future!👏👏
I love this!! I understand that it's yet another ballad but oh my what a beautiful singer and a voice! Has to be my favourite this year, i've been listening to this all day
Song is amazing shame that the music video doesn't do it justice. This song needs to be number 1 and needs TVand radio play. Can't believe this guy wasn't even in the top 3 at Eurovision. Farce!
yeah you right, Anggun is Indonesian but she is represent France in ESC, but I still proud you know. and I wish this year Australia win, so I can comes to grand final ESC in Sidney or Melbourne maybe XD
Rangga Firmansyah as australian i wish that too haha, by the way grandfinal in sydney? actually grandfinal of esc still in ukraine maybe u mean is if australia win u can see esc in australia next year? hope isaiah win♡
THIS IS WHY AUSTRALIA IS IN EUROVISION: To all the un-educated out there, Eurovision is not a "European song contest only for European countries". It is a song contest held by the EBU(European Broadcasting Union-ie: a television station company) & ANY of its fully paid up members can join the contest. Australia has been a FULLY PAID UP MEMBER for the last 30 years and Australia IS ENTITLED to be in the contest along with any other country who is a FULLY PAID UP MEMBER. Please do not keep asking why Australia is in the song contest as it has nothing to do with where the country is situated! Especially considering the fact that Eurovision was being kept alive due to Australian viewers support of it these past 30 years.
dont bother answering!stypid,jealous people keep making this question.Australia is welcome with great happines and pleasure in the contest excactly because they show so much respect for it and they bring acts win-worthy,icluding this song(which is my favourite australian entry so far)So Australia we want you to stay in the contest!😍
Thank you Penny rf74, Australia has watched Eurovision for over 30 years & we feel privileged to be able to join in. Australia sending good singers is our way of saying Thank you to all the other countries that have entertained us in Eurovision for all those years.
Once again Australia send us a top singer and we very much appreciate it!! This guy sings better than Michael Bolton! Good luck Isaiah, I'm your portuguese fan!
Yes it's another ballad. But when it's a great one, it doesn't matter how many ballads there is. Perfect , emotional. And the singer has a great voice and he is a great performer. It will be a success in my opinion.
I was completely blown away when I heard this for the first time a few hours ago at esc! I can't really explain why but this took my breath away, so outstanding and would've deserved the win 100%!! I'm in love, this is pure talent and music
This beautiful man was amazing amazing amazing last night in Brisbane at the Jess Mauboy concert. His voice is 100000000x better live. Especially this time around. He performed this song last night and it gave me goose bumps.
Isaiah's luscious voice gives me massive goosebumps!! :-))) I love his singing & his debut album is so, so good. There's not one bad song on it & his voice is divine. Wishing Isaiah all the very best at Eurovision 2017.
Great artist. Beautiful song. You'll be top ten again if not top five. And the most I hope you'll stay in ESC just ignore some people what those are saying. I've begun to watch ESC 1970s and believe me since then All the new countries joining in got the same trash: Israel, Turkey, Cyprus, Morocco, Russia and it's neighbourhood countries, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania etc.. but people calm and forget. Good luck in Kiev, Australia. And nice to see you are in again :) Greets from Finland.
Thanks so much Maruna for your kind words. I remember all the slurs and accusations levelled at Dami in her promo video last year, and now suddenly she's a star. Isaiah will do equally well! Stay warm x
Thanks Maruna - agree it is a great song and his voice is incredible!! Thanks for the support from Finland and good luck to you too!! Love from Australia
No need to thank me I only say what is the truth :) And you do have a Great artist and song as well every rights to join in the game. Music is universal language also most of you "down under" have European begin so I don't understand why this problem. How ever there is a slight problem both for Australia and Finland because there are many ballads this year but your's is one of the strongest ballad and ours is a kind of different. So hopefully both countries will reach the grand final.. Wishing all the best on the game for Australia and going to drop some votes for you. See you 2018!
It is a really great song, but I fear it might not be ESC-esque enough. Aussies haven't figured out the elusive Eurovision formula yet, but they have still been top 5 both times they participated. This year though... But 12 points from me at least (Swedish) for whatever its worth :)
I can't get enough of this song. I really hope he wins. I wish I could vote for him in the semifinal but my country is in the second semifinal. But I am definitely voting in the final. Good luck from Croatia :)
Yes. Remember how Dami's live version during the contest was much more powerful and varied than the official recording or any of the lead up live performances? Pretty sure the same will happen with Isaiah's song.
'The Sound of silence' was exciting already in preview and even more powerfull live. Nothing can guarantee the same happens to this boy and the song is quite ordinary.
This song amazed me from the very beginning. I think it's too bad it didn't won and for me Isaiah was the winner of this year's contest. I voted for him and I'm sure he will have a bright future from now on. Greetings from Greece 💙
My favorite from this year. Not just because he sings it SO WELL, but because of the lyrics and content of the song. As someone vehemently opposed to love, this song resonates in my heart and my soul.
Oh, wow. To be honest, I listened to a couple of other songs and didn't like any of these, but this is literally wonderful. I couldn't count how many times I clicked on repeat. It's really unique. Wish u the bests from Hungary♥
Yesss!! This 17 year old aboriginal boy represents us amazingly! Thank you Isaiah, you did wonderful!!!
Yes beautiful man vocal 🦄🥰
Wish someday the next Aboriginal to represent Australia will sing on one of Aboriginal languages,
Hallelujah...I'll tell you what I LOVE about this video that is refreshingly different. Whoever suggested these full blown close ups totally gets it, and totally gets the magic of Isaiah to have figured out to do it this way. He carries this off like many would not be able to. His essence is magnetic. Not a single bell or whistle in sight. Not a single scantily clad female, no special effects, no fast changing shots - just raw talent, luminosity and a compellingly beautiful intensity that will no doubt be a hallmark of his for his entire career. Talk about the X Factor. Well done Isaiah - what a beautiful soul you are, and well done creative team. Bloody marvellous.
Totally agree with everything you say, Maia. This young man oozes class, elegance and pure natural talent.
He is also very humble with a heart of gold. Besides his golden vocal chords that is! He is the sole financial support of his family and is happy to do so at the age of 17. His dream is to build a home for his family. That says volumes about his character. Bloody awesome kid!!!!
His voice is seriously enchanting - I don't mean to sound condescending but considering he's only 17 it's a really mature voice, and such a beautiful and simple ballad with a lovely sentiment to show it off! I'm so pleased Australia are in the contest, they absolutely deserve to be and so far have delivered 3 great entries. Can't wait for their choice next year, but for now congratulations from UK on a knockout this year
What a beautiful post. Thank you from the land down under :)
Thank you! You're very welcome :)
Couldn't have said better!
Ever since Australia joined, they have provided amazing music. I love Australia 💙
ehehehe i live there ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Same bra
And in fact 2 of contestants were Aboriginals.
Yeah that’s why they don’t win no one likes the good ones it’s about the banta
Not this year unfortunately ((
I've never in my life commented on anything, but this young man, is amazing from the inside out. He has a beautiful voice, but it's his humility and beautiful heart that is what radiates!!!!! I hope he never forgets where he came from..
Karen Barrett your first reply! the third time listening to it, i fell in love with this song
Isaiah is all that you see radiate from him, and where he comes from is what shines from within. He will never forget where he comes from as it makes him who he is....A man of heart and soul with a deep passion that pours from within that is purely natural. The first time I saw him sing, I knew he was very special!!!!
Karen Barrett Winner 2017
I must Cry, so nice😢
His reahersal was stunning, Isaiah is so talented.
Australia is doing unbelievable good in Eurovision. Not a single bad song so far. I loved this. I'm from Sweden.
Vixikie high praise from a country that always does unbelievably good! Best wishes :)
ADAM LAMBERT was Isaiah's mentor and now friend, and guided him really well to win the Australian competition. Now, to take over the world! Go Isaiah!
i think he went to my singing studio because we have his name on our board of people from jaanz that went to eurovision,the voice, etc.
Seeing all of these supportive comments from other countries, I just want to say something
THANK YOU, FROM AUSTRALIA
We were all really excited to be in Eurovision and it is amazing seeing all of these amazing supportive countries
Oh Isaiah your voice is superb. I wish you all the luck in the world. You will make Australia so very proud of you, no matter where you are placed. Absolutely exquisite
Lucy Harrison
His voice is soo beautiful I love this song.
Best wishes from germany 💕
best decision to have isaiah represent australia because he's aboriginal and the most amazing singer.
EM GEORGIAA Yes, we need to see more Aboriginal Australian like him on stage ⚫🔶🔴
he's amazing.
Sugar Free Anthems Are you sure?? He doesn't look like japanese.
Sugar Free Anthems Lol I know The Anime Man and I also know that he isn't Isaiah. If Joey aka The Anime Man claimed that he'd be Isaiah, then it was a joke. Isaiah is definitely aboriginal, 'cause the TV moderator mentioned it and you can see that he also looks like it.
Sugar Free Anthems He once said in a vid that his Australian side is half German and half Hungarian, so it's impossible that Joey is Isaiah or even aboriginal;D
Now you're saying this song is boring but you don't even know how hypnotising is his voice during live performances. That will be pure magic and only fools who like cheap disco and commercial sensation will complain about Isaiah. Greetings from Poland Isaiah!
Isaiah can turn 'any' song he sings into a masterpiece! That is what a true artist does!
Agata Samulska well said. I've been watching some vids and his voice is so beautiful and velvety.
but still boring
Same as you...
When you can get up and mesmerize an audience like Isaiah can then you will win the right to be so critical. This is a classic pop song with a singer who is outstanding.
Kristian from Bulgaria and him were the best! Their both so young only 17 years old yet their voices are so powerful. They should've won honestly, they need to get signed by a record deal. They're too good!
Kristian Kostov is extremely talented just as Isaiah is. One of the two of them definitely deserved the win.
They’re my top 3 and top 4, but I agree. They were the best minors to participate at ESC
he tried so hard to be where he is now.,. salute to this artist., a good talented loving human.
Even though this year's list of entries is filled with ballads I think that Australia brought the best one so far. Isaiah's voice just seems to be out of this world. The song might be a bit underwhelming, but there's no doubt Isaiah will deliver it perfectly. Thank you Australia for being a part of this contest! Good luck from Romania!
alexolii12 De melodia noastră ce părere ai?
Vero Imi place, cred ca are potential. Clar nu e o piesa care sa ne aduca trofeul, dar cu un staging bun sunt sanse sa intram in top 10.
Stephen Podesta Didn't he win X factor? well there are still more than 15 songs to be released. I don't know if Isaiah will score enough to get a top 5, we'll see
alexolii12 Portugal is much better
I agree. But the Portuguese song is a case in itself.
It would be good for the prestige of the Eurovision that could for once win a pure and timeless song.
PORTUGAL. No official video ... yet.
Good luck Australia
Damn Australia slaying ESC every damn year. Loved Guy, Dami and now Isaiah.
did you know
Guy actually was born in Malaysia, Dami Im born in Korea but now Isaiah PURE Australian
Just goes to Australian Diversity plus this year's theme is celebrate diversity
it doesn't matter where anyone is born - all are welcome in Australia :) and nobody here is a puritan, let me tell you that hahaha
Kitsune agree all great songs
guy in Vienna live was fantastic
looking forward to kiev
Άγγελος Ανδρεοσόπουλος It's not...
Australia is surely proud of this young man.....greetings from Croatia!!!
Australia always sends good singers with awesome songs

ESC Arpi I agree c:
What language are you attempting to communicate in?
The more you listen to it, the better it gets🙊
loved Isaiah on x factor au, so glad he's on Eurovision!! this literally made my day - still can't believe he's only 17
I know! I actually think he might be the youngest competitor in Eurovision history. Let alone the youngest entry this year.
This guys is amazing live, you thought Dami Im was good, wait till you hear him live.
Rhys Tomasich Sandra Kim actually won in 1986 and she was thirteen!
Really?! I didn't even know that!
He looks like he's twenty.
His live performance was not what he deserves... In love with this song since then!
Omg this kid has a Golden Voice!! Thank you Australia, you have made my day!
Live Reaction
You have no idea just how good Isaiah is until you almost have a breakdown watching him perform live on tv (or even real life if you're lucky, unfortunately not me yet). His performance of A Change Is Gonna Come on xFactor last year had me pretty much in tears because his voice is so beautiful 😍 Australia's got your back Zai, no matter what song you sing ❤️
He's got the best singing voice in the competition, hands down. If SBS staging is superb he could be the winner.
Australia always brings perfection in music. This was a perfect example of it. Special thanks to the international juries for sending this song into the top 10 in the final
Apart from that hiccup in the semi final, his whole performance was so good. I actually love the song even more. Isaiah you're so humble and extremely talented. No matter what happens you will definitely have a successful career and sell lots of records and tour the world. 12pts 👍
People are only hating on this because this is a ballad. Yes, we have a lot of ballads this year, but this one is clearly one of the best. It is also one of the most contemporary songs this year. Great job Australia!!
Thanks for your kind words Sophie! Many other countries are being panned as well (poor Ireland!) I hope Isaiah's skin is thick enough to weather this process and that he doesn't read the comments
Just heard it for the first time. Sounds like a major contender, a hit - a winner.
agree Im hating this ballad year a lot, but I love ballads but most of this year are really bad plain and boring... not Australias case, I think is great
Wow... I actually really love this song. I don't get all the negative comments from everyone. I absolutely love his voice! Being 17 and getting into Eurovision is such a huge accomplishment. And I don't even care that ballads keep getting in- it's because they're the easiest to convey a message into. Great job Isaiha!
he has the most perfect eyebrows I have ever seen...
infires man 😂
when everyone is talking about his singing and you...😂😂

Love it!! 😍👍❤ Good Luck from Cyprus!!!
I can't believe that this guy is 17 years old and has the opportunity to represent Australia. That's crazy! Truly Inspiring!
If Adele sang that, it would be a worldwide hit
frankdiley that is so true. :)
It's already a hit, because this song is basically a copycat of her own song Hello, the piano rhythm is practically the same and it's very clear to see!
Now every song I listen from eurovision, I try to know which song is a copycat ^^
frankdiley ikr
Everything about marketing.
Just look at how Hello was promoted, you saw that even in your fkn soup.
I like soup. Ups, I mean Adele :D
But that's the truth about hits, money -> Hit.
Australia's participation in Eurovision is raising the bar in the quality of music 🌼
Love Iou Asaiah
True
My my, that's a very nice voice!! I am really happy that Australia get to be in the Eurovision song contest.
Not only they have talented singers, but they also present people with colour.
12 points for Australia from Belgium!!! :)
***** Yeah that i know, i was just so happy that there's someone of colour there in the ESC. Hope they'll treat them better in the future....
How does Australia get to be in the Eurovision even though they're outside Europe?
Look at Israel, they get to be in the ESC since 40 years ago, and NO ONE bats an eye? And why is that?
Well he has my vote! Great voice, nice fella, beautiful song! 12 points from Lithuania !
Artur it's amusing that you called him nice 'fella' because that's an Aboriginal term to describe each other. (We're Whitefellas and they're Blackfellas!) Best wishes and thank you ;)
There were a lot of good songs tonight, but this is my favourite. Love it. What a fantastic voice Isaiah has. So mature. Hard to believe he's only 17 listening to him sing.
The more I listen to this song, the more I'm convinced that this is the best song in Eurovision 2017. And the voice of Isaiah is unique!
Dami Im wasn't experienced and she did well. She was on XFactor too. Isaiah was only really nervous during his audition. After that he calmed down and sang his heart out. Yes, I think they could have given him a better song that really showcased his vocal range, but this song is beautiful and his voice is outstanding. I think he will perform well on stage. You can tell he puts a low of emotion into his performances and his words are believable.
omg, what a voice... i don't even care about the song. just his voice is like a magnet to me!
We can always count on Australia bringing quality music to eurovision :)
greetings from Denmark
ha, we gave you your contestant as well.
oh, and a princess
Our contestant has Danish parents though
L A. "Your contestant" was born in Australia
I really want to like Australian songs, but so far I liked none of them.
Dami Im was the best contestant, but her chosen song, imo, was worse than many of her other songs.
Silva Dami Im was born in South Korea and Guy Sebastian in Malaysia. Isn't that great? (ps. I'm an Aussie but was born in South America)
I live for his eyebrows
TroyesKookie I live for him
and i live for that profile picture
So wonderful!, can't stop listening to this... 12 points from Lithuania!!
his voice is breath takingly beautiful !
I just bought a copy of his first cd from Sanity.com and it was personally signed by Isaiah. It has all the songs he did on Xfactor plus his single It's Gotta Be You. This kid could sing anything and sound great. You can watch his performances on XFactor. I have to admit he does all the songs better on the CD than he did on the show. Pass the word along to others. This kid deserves a good career and I feel he will be an international star, if Sony gives him good songs to sing. He drove 6 hours every weekend to take voice lessons. He came from a poor background and often didn't have lunch money at school and went to bed hungry a lot of nights. He said even buying clothes was difficult sometimes. He worked entering song contests to help pay bills and said he was happy to do it. His dream is to build his family a home! He had never had a birthday party, until they had one for him when XFactor went with him for a home visit. He is such a humble kid with a heart and voice of gold. If you like Isaiah, also check out Matt Terry who won the Voice in the United Kingdom in 2016. Especially, watch Matt sing weeks 1, 4 and 7 on You Tube.
AnikaVictoria älskar honom, någon mer?
i like llamas Tyvärr är det bara mitt namn. men nära, jag är från Danmark🤗 men jag älskar Sverige
Well, good job Australia, top 5 again (for me). He has really powerful voice and I think that he will rock in Kiev! Love from Croatia ❤🇭🇷
Australia always bringing quality acts and artists to the ESC.
Isaiah rocked that stage in Kyiv. Shame the televoters didn't feel it at all.
I'm totally in love with this boy. Thank you for showing us your talent, Australia. You're always welcome to Eurovision, please, come always!!
SuperOogieboogie me to Australia good luck from Croatia ( wish Croatia luck)
SuperOogieboogie I can only agree to your post. I m from Austria (not Australia) 😉😂
Regardless of all the negative opinions of the song put forward this year for Eurovision from Australia, the purity of the voice behind it will make it a massive hit good luck #ISAIAHFIREBRACE #EUROVISIONWINNERRIGHTHERE! You make all of us Aussies so so proud!
The Australian entries have been amazing so far. No exception this year! Best of luck from Belgium.
Mathias the Belgian entry will be well received down here also-4th yr in a row that the Belgian entry is something to make your country very proud of its talent.
As an Aussie that is living in Brussels - this makes me happy. I love Eurovision. I'd love to watch it some day. The Belgian entry is great this year also.
OMG! He is beautiful man... And he sing beautiful...Perfect!
This young man was supposed to win.. I love Isaiah...♥♥♥
Very very amazing Australia!!!From Poland,perfect 12 points!!!
Andrzej thank you! You will do well this year :)
j Phillips hehe:)
I'm so glad Australia joined Eurovision❤ Don't ever leave us! grtz from The Netherlands
Thanks heaps Dylan, it means a lot! Good luck
Australia improved the quality of the ESC enormously. Why did it take you so long to join?? ;-)
Because we're not in Europe?
Dylan Adolfs Nederland is ook goed Maar België is beter
Inderdaad, België heeft dit jaar een heel erg sterk lied. Een van mijn absolute favorieten.
I thinks it's a really nice, catching and powerful song which deals with much emotions. His voice is actually beautiful and until now it's my favourite esc song for 2017. It's a ballad, and I know we have a lot ballads but this one is in my opinion outstanding. The song is not overpowered and its calm atmosphere is very pleasant. Good work Australia! I wish you the best of luck! Greetings from Germany. 😊
Boy deserved so much more tbh but he did so well and I'm so happy he got to perform. He was such a great representative for Australia ❤️👏
omg this is too goooood! gotta love australia for bringing quality music. 12 points from the netherlands!
Mila most countries (including Netherlands!) are so good this year that we'll all be confused about who to vote for! Good luck :)
yeah you're right, this year is really strong, but so far Australia and Belgium are my favourites :). and thanxx , you too!
Mila de Ruiter Thank you (from Belgium) 😊
Jaa vind m ook goed !! maar beter wint Belgie, dan ga ik daar volgendjaar naar toe haha
ben het met je eens 17 jaar en dan dit
Australia always puts out the most powerful and profound songs. Lots of love from France (and Canada) ;)
Another good Song from Australia! For The three years they take Place in Eurovison Song Contest, they Never dissapointed me!
Congratulations for getting "Double platinum" in Sweden for your single "It's gotta be you". You've only been in the music industry less than 6mths and you've achieved so much. More success in the future!👏👏
I love this!! I understand that it's yet another ballad but oh my what a beautiful singer and a voice! Has to be my favourite this year, i've been listening to this all day
Australia,Belgium and the Netherlands great songs. Greetings and well done from Italy 🇮🇹
One of the best singers of Eurovision 2017.
Song is amazing shame that the music video doesn't do it justice. This song needs to be number 1 and needs TVand radio play. Can't believe this guy wasn't even in the top 3 at Eurovision. Farce!
Aaaaaaa very nice I can't stop listen it ... nice job ❤ greetings from Armenia 🇦🇲 I'm with you Australia 🇦🇺
Love from Indonesia, although my country not Eurovision participant, I wish all the best for Australia.
Rangga Firmansyah but u have anggun she is already participant for france but she originally from indonesia right?
yeah you right, Anggun is Indonesian but she is represent France in ESC, but I still proud you know. and I wish this year Australia win, so I can comes to grand final ESC in Sidney or Melbourne maybe XD
Rangga Firmansyah as australian i wish that too haha, by the way grandfinal in sydney? actually grandfinal of esc still in ukraine maybe u mean is if australia win u can see esc in australia next year? hope isaiah win♡
yeah, thats what I mean. cuz' I always want to come to grand final ESC and watch live, Im bored just watching on youtube.
Rangga Firmansyah don't worry soon they will make the rest of the world participate and still call the name EUROvision 🙂
the control in his voice, my GOD! amazing.
I will never get tired of listening to Isaiah's amazing,beautiful voice! Love from the USA
I love that Australia is part of Eurovision. Thanks Aussi fans!
THIS IS WHY AUSTRALIA IS IN EUROVISION: To all the un-educated out there, Eurovision is not a "European song contest only for European countries". It is a song contest held by the EBU(European Broadcasting Union-ie: a television station company) & ANY of its fully paid up members can join the contest. Australia has been a FULLY PAID UP MEMBER for the last 30 years and Australia IS ENTITLED to be in the contest along with any other country who is a FULLY PAID UP MEMBER. Please do not keep asking why Australia is in the song contest as it has nothing to do with where the country is situated! Especially considering the fact that Eurovision was being kept alive due to Australian viewers support of it these past 30 years.
dont bother answering!stypid,jealous people keep making this question.Australia is welcome with great happines and pleasure in the contest excactly because they show so much respect for it and they bring acts win-worthy,icluding this song(which is my favourite australian entry so far)So Australia we want you to stay in the contest!😍
Thank you Penny rf74, Australia has watched Eurovision for over 30 years & we feel privileged to be able to join in. Australia sending good singers is our way of saying Thank you to all the other countries that have entertained us in Eurovision for all those years.
I'm so obsessed with this song...can't stop listening to it.Congratulations Australia! Greetings from Greece 💖
That's an excellent song!
If the live performance is equally good then I'm very happy to see this in the finale and get in the top 10
Once again Australia send us a top singer and we very much appreciate it!! This guy sings better than Michael Bolton! Good luck Isaiah, I'm your portuguese fan!
Yes it's another ballad. But when it's a great one, it doesn't matter how many ballads there is. Perfect , emotional. And the singer has a great voice and he is a great performer. It will be a success in my opinion.
yael Schneider With Finland and Portugal's brilliant songs in the running, you realize balads aren't all bad
I was completely blown away when I heard this for the first time a few hours ago at esc! I can't really explain why but this took my breath away, so outstanding and would've deserved the win 100%!! I'm in love, this is pure talent and music
Best Male vocalist by far, not only that its modern and has great music production got my votes from the UK!
This beautiful man was amazing amazing amazing last night in Brisbane at the Jess Mauboy concert. His voice is 100000000x better live. Especially this time around. He performed this song last night and it gave me goose bumps.
Isaiah's luscious voice gives me massive goosebumps!! :-))) I love his singing & his debut album is so, so good. There's not one bad song on it & his voice is divine. Wishing Isaiah all the very best at Eurovision 2017.
I'm so proud of him
He's come so far since X Factor, from a shy boy to THIS
3 years in the contest and 3 amazing songs. Congratulations Australia!!!
Great artist. Beautiful song. You'll be top ten again if not top five. And the most I hope you'll stay in ESC just ignore some people what those are saying. I've begun to watch ESC 1970s and believe me since then All the new countries joining in got the same trash: Israel, Turkey, Cyprus, Morocco, Russia and it's neighbourhood countries, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania etc.. but people calm and forget. Good luck in Kiev, Australia. And nice to see you are in again :) Greets from Finland.
Thanks so much Maruna for your kind words. I remember all the slurs and accusations levelled at Dami in her promo video last year, and now suddenly she's a star. Isaiah will do equally well! Stay warm x
Thanks Maruna - agree it is a great song and his voice is incredible!! Thanks for the support from Finland and good luck to you too!! Love from Australia
thank you for this! i 100% agree
No need to thank me I only say what is the truth :) And you do have a Great artist and song as well every rights to join in the game. Music is universal language also most of you "down under" have European begin so I don't understand why this problem. How ever there is a slight problem both for Australia and Finland because there are many ballads this year but your's is one of the strongest ballad and ours is a kind of different. So hopefully both countries will reach the grand final.. Wishing all the best on the game for Australia and going to drop some votes for you. See you 2018!
Good Luck Australia. :)
Amazing this song! Congratulations Australia for another huge music to take part in Eurovision! Love from Portugal 🇵🇹
Gonçalo Matos Thanks! Your song is amazing too. One of my favorites this year.
Gonçalo Matos totally, it's a great song ! 🇵🇹🇵🇹
It is a really great song, but I fear it might not be ESC-esque enough. Aussies haven't figured out the elusive Eurovision formula yet, but they have still been top 5 both times they participated. This year though... But 12 points from me at least (Swedish) for whatever its worth :)
The Portuguese song this year is stunning and beautiful. A top 5 contender, and probably get a bunch of votes from Australia 🇦🇺 (12?)
yey someone from Portugal :'3
uma portuguesa aqui também! xD
Probably, the best Eurovision song of this decade. Congrats. from Spain.🇪🇸
wow a ballad, we didn't had one already this year xD atleast it is one of the better ones, so that's something :)
ESC Marissa agree
ESC Marissa agree
ESC Marissa yes we have a ballad already xD
Twithy seriously?! I didn't know that. So the kid was born in 2001 and he's already this huge... wow
17, actually..
I can't get enough of this song. I really hope he wins. I wish I could vote for him in the semifinal but my country is in the second semifinal. But I am definitely voting in the final. Good luck from Croatia :)
Is this the lad who won the x factor last year in Australia? So his live performances will stand out easily. 12 points from The Netherlands.
Yes. Remember how Dami's live version during the contest was much more powerful and varied than the official recording or any of the lead up live performances? Pretty sure the same will happen with Isaiah's song.
'The Sound of silence' was exciting already in preview and even more powerfull live. Nothing can guarantee the same happens to this boy and the song is quite ordinary.
YAS!!! LIVE PERFORMANCE WILL BE SO MUCH BETTER ISAIAH IS REALLY GOOD
IKR...his voice is just super controlled...
Ajax💪
This song amazed me from the very beginning. I think it's too bad it didn't won and for me Isaiah was the winner of this year's contest. I voted for him and I'm sure he will have a bright future from now on. Greetings from Greece 💙
❤️😍❤️
I LOVE YOUUUU
NikkieTutorials MY BABYYYYYYY NIKKIEEE!!!!
NikkieTutorials ugh love youuu
OOOMMGG NIKKIE!!
Nikkie 😍😍😍
Adam Lambert brought me here. Good luck Isaiah ,remember what Adam teached you , have confidence you are amazing the way you are.
I will vote for Isaiah I like him+I am a huge fan of Adam Lambert so I will vote many times
Australia makes literaly the best songs
Sad and so strange how this only got 2 Points from europe? THIS SONG IS VERY POWERFUL I LOVE THIS
live performance was a disaster
yes true, but so much potention. I think that's worth alot aswell!
Queen Sparkle Let’s be real, no one really votes based on the presented songs, everyone unfortunately votes their neighbouring countries
Maria D. Ts. Girl did you watch the live performance?
Queen Sparkle One word: Streaker!
Australia, please don't ever leave Eurovision! Sweden loves everything you do
and Russia tool:3
Why people say this song will not be in top 10 this song is amazing top 5 is guaranteed 12 points from Croatia.
He is 17 right?
Gosh, his voice is so matured already, and if it isn't - what a Lovely low voice he will have!
My favorite from this year. Not just because he sings it SO WELL, but because of the lyrics and content of the song. As someone vehemently opposed to love, this song resonates in my heart and my soul.
12 points from the Netherlands! Australië did it aggain!👌🏼
Isaiah SO deserved to do this! Love that after this, he's going to blow the ceiling! :)
so glad Australia are part of eurovision, another great song beats our (uk) entry
One of my favourites, next to Bulgaria. He should have gotten a place he deserved. And he was way better than the eight place. ☺
Congratulations Isaiah, You'll do Australia proud......I've no doubt......Love those rice tones and your gorgeous face.
I have a feeling Australia is going to win this year...not complaining this is perfect...he is perfect... *º* 👌💖
You are my favorite in this contest. A beautiful song in a beautiful performance. Bravo.
OMG that is such a wonderful song Isaiah... so glad you are part of Eurovision you are doing Australia proud
Oh, wow. To be honest, I listened to a couple of other songs and didn't like any of these, but this is literally wonderful. I couldn't count how many times I clicked on repeat. It's really unique. Wish u the bests from Hungary♥
