Eurovision Song Contest Either stop calling it Eurovision or remove the countries and CONTINENTS that arent in Europe!! There is a reason so few people can take Eurovision seriously today!
Anyone else remembering seeing her the first time as a small town country girl auditioning for Idol? Now she absolutely incredible performer representing Australia on the international stage - Jess you do us all so damn proud
i'm a bit sad reading all the comments about her dancing. Perhaps it's not obvious to non-Australians, but it derives from the dances of Indigenous Australians, some of the oldest (if not the oldest) in the world. To me it's beautiful
For other acts with 'different' types of lyrics or choreography, I do a quick search to understand them better. A shame that some people are not doing the same for Jess, as she's honouring her country and heritage with some traditional dance moves. Agreed, it's beautiful.
Wow, lovely response. :) It really hurts me to see all of the insensitive comments. Jess' choreography is inspired by the traditional dancing of her people, specifically the serpent dreaming.
Our indigenous culture IS beautiful, and it should be respected and treasured, but as disheartening as the response by ESC fans has been, I can't support such a divisive comment. Actually, I love the Eurovision. I think it has an important place in encouraging cross-cultural unity and understanding on a very diverse and divided continent. I'm also essentially European myself, although that might not have been clear, from my comment. I'm German-Australian, first generation Australian, and my partner is a Swedish citizen. Europe is my second home. Blanket statements about its worthiness seem redundant, given the lack of similarities between its countries. One country can be a social democracy, while another can be a borderline dictatorship. One of the reasons Australians have connected with the Eurovision so strongly (it's been screening in Aus for decades) is that the citizenry as a whole is uniquely connected to Europe. Not several generations back, as in America. A huge percentage of us are born to European parents or grandparents. That contemporary connection to European culture is deeply apparent in our major cities and our multicultural way of life. However, I don't want to be damning, because I do acknowledge Europe's dark past (including the dark past of my own ancestor culture), and if you happen to be Indigenous yourself, I recognise absolutely the tragedy of European colonialism, as well as the ongoing hurt in the continued denial by those cultures responsible. I can only imagine that seeing my special, ancient culture compared to simian behaviour would make me want to say horrible things, too. There's a lot of pain in having to deal with comments like that on a regular basis.
Her face right at the end - she is obviously having the time of her life and you can see how much it means to her. She is amazing! Australian royalty! Europe are lucky to experience what we in Australia have had for the past 12 years.
Unfortunately she sounded like train wreck. Only tone deaf people can say it was a good performance. And I'm not going to mention the dress and makeup.... So bad. Pity because she is a good singer
Martin Smutny - I wouldn't go that far. Agreed her vocal was not her best. But she sold the performance and had energy. Also, I cannot reconcile Saara Aalto from Finland coming in second to last place. It was a solid performance.
Berk - I think Brett is just saying that Jess is a popular and well loved Aussie performer. She has been in the spotlight for many years and is very approachable, especially with fans. She loves her singing and acting and works very hard at both. She also gives back to the community and uses her star power for good. Excuse all this text, just gives you a bit more about Jess: One of Australia’s most successful female artists, Jessica Mauboy is from outback Australia with her family originating from the Indigenous tribe KuKu Yalanji. Her musical journey began in 2006 with Australian Idol, and since then Jessica has sold over 2.5 million units in Australia, achieved fourteen Top 30 hit singles from three studio albums, four (4) ARIA accredited Platinum selling albums and received numerous awards including the 2014 ARIA Award for Best Female and the 2012 ARIA Award for Best Pop Release. In 2010 Jessica included actress to her title when she made her film debut in the Australian film musical Bran Nue Dae which also starred Academy Award winner Geoffrey Rush. This was followed up with a starring role in the internationally celebrated and multi award winning feature The Sapphires. Premiering at the special midnight screening at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival, the musical feature was released internationally to rave reviews, with Jessica receiving both the AACTA Award and AFCA Award for Best Supporting Actress for her outstanding portrayal of the role of Julie. Throughout her stellar music career to date, as well as performing her own sell-out national tours, Jessica has performed with international artists including Beyoncé, Flo Rida and Chris Brown and has performed for celebrities, dignitaries and presidents including Barak Obama, as well as on the shows of both Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres. Throughout, Jessica has been actively involved in lending her hand to charity and is a key role model to the Indigenous community in Australia with involvement in many organisations ranging from mentoring, performing and education. Jessica also became one of few notable Australians to feature on the iconic Sesame Street when she filmed the Five Kangaroo’s in Alice Springs with some of the students from the Yipirinya School. In 2014 Jessica made history when she was invited to perform as a guest at the Eurovision Song Contest in Denmark, being the first non-European solo artist to do so. This followed a performance at the Official Flag Handover Ceremony of the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. In 2016, Jessica made ARIA Chart history being the first indigenous woman to achieve three consecutive weeks at #1 for her release of ‘Songs from the Original TV Series - The Secret Daughter’ album along with her TV series activing debut in Seven Network’s drama ‘The Secret Daughter’. 2017 will see Jessica tour Australia in April and return to the TV screens in Series 2 of The Secret Daughter which will also have an accompanying album. Jessica is the official Ambassador for Fox Sports new Fox League channel which will be launched in February.
2 years later and still love that she included the aboriginal traditional dance into her act even though the Australian team knew that the audience might not get it. She sang with her entire soul, had fun and the audience inside the stadium went nuts. Definitely ripped from a better place. Still love it.
It's so fresh to see an artist who's really enjoying her moment on the ESC stage !!! Not trying to create a video clip and big production . Simple , energetic , fun , festive and TRUE !!! 🤩👏👌👍🤞
I dont understand why but I like her energy so fucking much. Those vocals... this sense of happiness. One of my top 10 for this year. Jessica σε αγαπαμε 😍 from Greece
Yannis you said my words !...i like her energy so fucking much LOL. And as a Greek Australian, it was nice to read your "we love you" from Greece! Ps she is engaged to a Greek guy so I love her even more haha
She deserve to be in top 10 I am sayng that bc 2018 was one of the most succesful year along with 2017 so there was very many cool songs that you cant decide who to be the winner
That’s what I call a professional singer! She sounds like she means what she’s singing about. So many emotions and energy! No decorations, no dance crew and still PERFECT! 12 points from Russia :)
I agree, but her voice sounds a bit croaky and you can hear some of her breaths in the first voice. Still super impressed with how she engaged the audience - something you don’t usually see in Eurovision
Australia gets 12 points from Belgium. We would have liked to see our country win, but now Sennek is not allowed to participate in the final. Do the voices of the Belgians go to the Australians, you can be proud with such a beautiful song, I get totally happy.
Slippery Gypsy How are we cheats? Eurovision invited us u damn fool!! I know it hurts u that we keep coming within the top 10. Don't be a hater, music should bring everyone together. Go Jess!!!
One of the best this year.JESS has POWER,BEAUTY and everything to win the ESC. She set the stage on fire without any back vocals and additional things. 🇦🇺💕💕💕
David M yeah they did it in purpose as to not take away from hearing jessica sing the song. Will guarantee that she will be even better in the final because she feels less pressure now that she is in the final.
She did so well. Everything is beautifully done from singing, dancing, backdrop, special effects, her movements & the message of the song. Honestly, she’s a Winner 👏
One of the best performances of the night to be honest! AND... those 20k people in the Arena of Lisbon surely knew how to make this video epic! Well done Australia!
She really is a queen and SO likeable! Probably one of the most adorable contestants this year! She nailed that performance as I expected...I love the fact that she represented her aboriginal Background and Culture in form of those moves and her Dress! A pure role model and Inspiration!! Top 10 finish :D She also is my personal fave this year so...12 Points from Germany
this woman is an absolute gift of talent, her energy is genuine and her love is immense, win lose or draw, be proud of your achievements.this woman is an absolute gift of talent, her energy is genuine and her love is immense, win lose or draw, be proud of your achievements.
Actually, compared with her usual performance, her crowd interaction was a bit muted at times, I think she was concentrating on the camera, and that led to the vocals being a bit flat. Her movements are pretty well her usual. Nevertheless, a great performance and no doubt she'll let it all hang out in the final.
Omg her performance made me so emotional! So powerful! We’re grateful to watch a beautiful singer like Jessica! I can feel the love! 24 points from Belgium🇧🇪❤️🇦🇺
I’ve watched all the performances so far in this contest and Jessica’s is by far the most heart felt performance of all, sang with passion, conviction and spirit! 🙏😍👍
I have never seen a more energetic solo performance at Eurovision than this - and the audience going crazy in the background elevates this performance to goosebumps level :D
Her dancing is so beautiful, it’s so awesome that she included a native Australian dance!!! The song is just beautiful as is her voice, I so hope she wins!!
Best song and best performance of the ESC 2018!!!!!!!!! No big production behind her , no dancers jumping around, not a singer trying to look cool and sexy, just one happy singer having fun , with a GOOD song sending joy and happiness out to the crowd!!!!!!!!! Love the fact that She stays true to her roots and take the Aborigine dance to the stage, SO WELL DONE Australia !!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so proud to be an Australian right now,but I'll tell u I'm Even more prouder that you're a strong amazing woman and I'm even prouder again to be an aboriginal one too (go girl)
G Nis the reason why Australia became the part of the contest is because Australia is supporting the contest for many years , so the EBU owe them a lot so they give them a try But I know that Australia will withdrew , I think ? Im not sure tho , because they are the host country for the Eurovision asia
This is how you do it! No dancers or metre-long dresses required, just charisma, a stunning voice and a smashing song with an enchanting melody is all you need to nail it!
She really has stage presence! All the happiness and positivity is contagious! Go Jess! To all the crowd you better scream LOVE when she directs her micro to you in the final!
I'm so proud of this lady.. Not heard of you before but damn you smashed it. Well done Jessica... I'm a fan. I'll buy this track. Greetings from the United Kingdom.
this is what I mean when I think about Eurovision. This is an absolute mood. Dance, sound, smile, lights, LOVE. POWERFULL. I go back to thia at least once a month since then.
I am so proud that we have a strong, talented, sweet, powerful Australian indigenous woman to represent us at Eurovision. She couldn't be a nicer person, and the song has such a great positive message. Go to team Australia, we love you Jess!
Such a powerful song - hope it will win tonight! To all those who're criticising her dancing: it's so nice to see a unique act that doesn't blend in with the generic mainstream of the last years, but truly represents the country's culture. Those Aboriginal dance moves bring back what the ESC originally had stood for.
I’m glad they got a real Australian role model for this not just a new x-factor winner. And she put on a really strong performance and she looks gorgeous
Jiggly Puff she has been supporting Australia in the music industry for years (since 2008) and has had a few acting opportunites. Not to mention she’s aboriginal which gives her even more reason to represent Australia. I was talking about new people, who haven’t had that experience, getting put up there to represent Australia. I’m talking mostly about that guy that was put up last year. He was talented no doubt but I don’t think he has the experience that Jessica Mauboy has and he is missing that stage presence that Mauboy has (due to lack of experience). I’m not hating on him and as I said he undoubtedly is talented, I feel that he doesn’t quite have the experience or growth of fame in Australia to be put on Eurovision. He also hasn’t grown as an artist at that stage and hasn’t developed his own music further whereas Jessica Mauboy has. Maybe in a couple of years I’d get it. Point is that is why I feel that Jessica Mauboy earned that spot on Eurovision and why I believe that new X factor winners aren’t quite suited for Eurovision until they’ve truly represented Australia and earned their way there.
Her dance represents her root as an indigious Aborigin girl - which sadly most Europeans don't understand (and some gives less respect). I feel her soul as a modern Australian who doesnt forget her Aboriginal root. Love you Jessica!
I wish people would stop complaining about her DRESS...SHOES and DANCE STYLE...the dress is about how she feels in it with all its colours and the freedom she has to move in it on stage...her shoes represents fire, where love is stronger than fire and her dance moves are a mix of modern dance and indigenous female dancer representing a SERPENT.Good luck Jessica in the Final...Thankyou for representing Australia and your people.....
Been yesterday in Lisbon arena, watching it live and the crowd was astonishingly supportive to this Australian act. Somehow in the video the enthusiasm of the crowd is not heard well, but it was one the best acts, for sure!!!
Eurovision and anything of eurostuff were and will never be a fair game. Europe isn't worth anything anymore. Yet very poor nature continent. Karma Never Sleep. Now it's time for Indonesia to conquer back. Life Cycle.

She won heaps of other signing competitions before coming to idol but shes still very good💫

Thanks Stephen. Some one wrote she looked drunk or stoned with her dancing. Not cool.
Right! Someone called it "wild gorilla dances". Disappointed but not surprised by the level of ignorance here.

this song should have won it by a mile, tbh i really can't see anything special in Isreal's song.
I am so proud that we have a strong, talented, sweet, powerful Australian indigenous woman to represent us at Eurovision. She couldn't be a nicer person, and the song has such a great positive message. Go to team Australia, we love you Jess!

She has a great voice and power and it is also a nice song. Australia always brings good songs to Eurovision. I like her! I hope you win! 😘
Never watched Eurovision... But first time I sat before my screen and this lady melted my heart with her song and performance....
What an absolute banger!!! So proud! This is brilliant
One of my favorite esc performances ever
Such a powerful song - hope it will win tonight! To all those who're criticising her dancing: it's so nice to see a unique act that doesn't blend in with the generic mainstream of the last years, but truly represents the country's culture. Those Aboriginal dance moves bring back what the ESC originally had stood for.
Her dance is fire, very energetic😍
Congratulations Australia, once again you send a great song and performer. This is one of my favorites this year. Love from Sweden.
Love her energy, vocals and positive vibes on stage 💜
She's so gorgeous and very beautiful powerful voice wow I love her💙🌼

Every year Australia sends amazing songs. So stop asking always the same question and enjoy her songs.
She deserved better, much better. She was my favourite! ( 12 points from Belguim!) ❤️❤️❤️

Alexander Rybak returns this year and is great. How does he not age? And could he win Eurovision the second time? Good luck Norway.
jhon dhoe we expected jess to at least be in the top 5 or 10 bit confused why she ended up where she did she gave a great performance love from oz
That song was so underrated
It deserved a whole higher place :(
Such an emotional..strong ..joyfulful ...empowering performance...you are a winner Jess ...did Australia PROUD 🌷❤🤘🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Looks like it's her concert :)
I’m glad they got a real Australian role model for this not just a new x-factor winner. And she put on a really strong performance and she looks gorgeous
Kageyama Tobio yesss exactly! And thank you 😂
Yeah because it's better when she is just a runner up in Australian idol?
Jiggly Puff she has been supporting Australia in the music industry for years (since 2008) and has had a few acting opportunites. Not to mention she’s aboriginal which gives her even more reason to represent Australia. I was talking about new people, who haven’t had that experience, getting put up there to represent Australia. I’m talking mostly about that guy that was put up last year. He was talented no doubt but I don’t think he has the experience that Jessica Mauboy has and he is missing that stage presence that Mauboy has (due to lack of experience). I’m not hating on him and as I said he undoubtedly is talented, I feel that he doesn’t quite have the experience or growth of fame in Australia to be put on Eurovision. He also hasn’t grown as an artist at that stage and hasn’t developed his own music further whereas Jessica Mauboy has. Maybe in a couple of years I’d get it. Point is that is why I feel that Jessica Mauboy earned that spot on Eurovision and why I believe that new X factor winners aren’t quite suited for Eurovision until they’ve truly represented Australia and earned their way there.
YAAA JESS YOU DID IT! I will vote for you after all perfrormances 20 times!! Hugee love from Slovenia❤️
we are in the year of 2021.. and i am still hearing this song.. amazing Song!
In my Opinion "Jessica, you had conquered the Eurovision stage"
Her dance represents her root as an indigious Aborigin girl - which sadly most Europeans don't understand (and some gives less respect). I feel her soul as a modern Australian who doesnt forget her Aboriginal root.
Love you Jessica!
I LOVE her dancing! She's such a power package!
Sandi Herrm yes is.
😇😇
well im european and i fully understood that since the first time i saw her dancing...
Sandi Herrm Haha me too
Her dance is still weird?!
No gimmicks, no background dancers, just stands and delivers!
She doesnt really need dancers or a huge staging. She can deliver by herself, and she did! But that's just my personal Opinion :D
Absolutely agree. She just gave it her all ! Loved it
SHE SLAYYYED 😍😍😍 Well done Australia 👏
I wish people would stop complaining about her DRESS...SHOES and DANCE STYLE...the dress is about how she feels in it with all its colours and the freedom she has to move in it on stage...her shoes represents fire, where love is stronger than fire and her dance moves are a mix of modern dance and indigenous female dancer representing a SERPENT.Good luck Jessica in the Final...Thankyou for representing Australia and your people.....
Be proud yeah ! An artistic performance which was not understood.. sorry and love from France 🇫🇷 🇦🇺
It dosent matter if u loose it just is from your heart
Yeah! So True!!
This fantastic masterpiece should have won the eurovision song contest
I don't remember at all many songs that received a lot more points than her,but i always remember this ,it's memorable and i keep coming back!
One of the favorites! Definitely will be in Top 5! Much love Jess!🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
She didn't need any dancers, he fill out the stage with her powerful presence and voice!! 1200 points.
Been yesterday in Lisbon arena, watching it live and the crowd was astonishingly supportive to this Australian act. Somehow in the video the enthusiasm of the crowd is not heard well, but it was one the best acts, for sure!!!
El Gato Lounge soooo good to know x thank you
So surprised this didn't do well. This was easily in my top 3. Lots of very crappy performances did much better in the points. Not cool.
Ikr
its European Karma kind of they vote for their friends not talent XD :D
Eurovision and anything of eurostuff were and will never be a fair game.
Europe isn't worth anything anymore. Yet very poor nature continent.
Karma Never Sleep.
Now it's time for Indonesia to conquer back. Life Cycle.
That "why" intro sounds like "euphoria" from 2012
DaneZxArker DK eastern very much
