Australia 2016: oikopanel reviews ‘Sound of Silence’

You can support the Australian entry on oikotimes.com’s Europrediction and read the full profile of the Australian entry in the following link

Morten Kaiser from Denmark

Australia back in Eurovision once again. After “Tonight Again” the Aussies go for a power ballad from Dami Im – and what a masterpiece. Wow that girl can sing! The song fits perfectly for Eurovision and even though Australia has to go through a semi final this year, that shouldn’t be a problem. I would really love to see Australia winning this year, but Dami Im needs to bring a fantastic scene show with her that doesn’t steal focus of her song, but makes the song even better. I’m looking forward to see how Dami will do on stage. Good luck, mates!

Fotis Konstantopoulos from Greece

The Australian entry this year is indeed one of the best songs in the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest. It also seems (judging from any possible resource) that Dami Im is an excellent vocal performer. My only worry is how the European audience will react and vote on a South Korean descended artist. We don’t have much interaction and appearances by Dami Im since announced for Eurovision and I wanna see more of her and find our more about her personality. The bets are treating this entry well and I am sure there will be another top five for them in the final. Wise choice for SBS and EBU to put Australia in the semi finals.

Luka Popovic from Serbia

Australia is sending a very powerful ballad to the contest this year. Dami Im, who became a star after taking part in a talent show, is known for her outstanding vocals, which should show at Eurovision at resonate well with the judges. The song is modern and commercial, perhaps a bit repetitive but this could work in its favour, making it more memorable. With a strong stage performance, this should finish in the top 5.

  2. And of course I can’t buy theory that ESC 2016 will be different than previous editions. This is peak of naivety. You may wonder about the very many issues, but not about this. This contest is very popular for a long time. This is not Sweden and their Melodifestivalen, which was great madness this year in this country.

  3. I can believe that Australian song massacre Albania taking into account the quality of songs. But reality is still to obvious and clear. In the ESC this is still not enough. Here you need also good idea for staging. There is no chance for great result without this factor/element.

  4. Look at Eurovision 2009. This is impossible to grab without strong, catchy entry. This must be good overall. Good song is definitely not enough.

  6. I think you need a lot more work, while jury in the ESC should be eliminated. This will be good for southern countries this year, but this is not their fault. Jury from the beginning is delusional because of obsessions. Their results are completely irrational.

  7. Even your rating is strange. Albania 24 points, Australia 75 points? For me they are similar, but Australia is much more popular country.

  8. Jury has deeply rooted obsessions. Delusions are the results of these obsessions. Obsessions = cause, delusions = effect. Obsessions are first, delusions are second. This is so obvious and clear.
