Dami's voice is amazing. This is why people hate Australians - we are talented. People watch Eurovision for horrible performances and general train wreck.

True that delcan.

Dami Im is amazeballs and I seriously hope and pray she does well in Eurovision.
 
Dami, along with Guy and Jessica Mauboy, are probably a bit too good for Eurovision, where it isn't really about the voice but the cheese factor.

Bwah true that about the cheese factor that Eurovision has churned out (pardon the pun I think) over the years. :p

With the exception of Abba of course :inlove:

If you love Eurovision, here’s 10 documentaries you need to watch right now

http://www.sbs.com.au/guide/article...res-10-documentaries-you-need-watch-right-now

Some highlights -

6. The Secret History of Eurovision
I really wish I’d thought of the idea for this doco because it’s a cracker: the history of 20th century Europe as seen through the Eurovision song contest.

It tells us how a Swiss TV executive had the genius idea of hosting a pan-European singing competition as a way of trying to unite a divided continent in the years following World War Two. What follows is this excellent look at Europe and how a yearly celebration of bad singing and even worse taste was impacted by - and survived - civil wars, the cold war and countless other social and political upheavals since it began in 1956.

10. How to Win Eurovision
Okay, so this is definitely not a doco - it’s a BBC TV special - but it’s good fun all the same.

This is basically two blokes going through all the biggest and best winners and working out what the recipe for victory looks like. Basically what they discover is that you need a good sob story, you need to have a bit of a gimmick and you should be a good singer but definitely not the best singer. (A bum note or two doesn’t hurt cos it’ll get you a few sympathy votes.) Essentially, it’s just a 2-hour “best of” special, but who doesn’t love a chance revisit the famous - and the infamous - in Eurovision’s hall of fame?

4. Estonia: Dreams of Eurovision
This is one of the earlier Eurovision docos, which is basically a behind the scenes look at the lead up to the contest in Estonia in 2002. Filmmaker Marina Zenovich turned on her camera and found a wealth of ridiculousness to document, from contestant in-fighting, a last-minute ditching of the host, romantic entanglements and political upheaval.

How to vote, will you vote?

How to vote: Eurovision voting for 2016 Explained

There are two ways you can have your say and vote in Eurovision 2016: SBS viewers will be able to rate performances and vote for their favourites across all three nights of prime-time screenings - with early risers also able to cast their votes in the official international poll and ultimately influence the outcome of the vote. So how does it work? Let our guide break it down for you.

You can just participate in SBS pop poll online, not official.
Or, watch live at 5am and text or phone OFFICIAL vote.
I am not really interested in live time & real voting
 
I can't wait to see Dami Im perform.

I just know she is going to do us Aussies proud :thumbsup:

Those dresses are stunning and Dami looks amazing in them.

anyone know of a way to watch Graham Nortons commentary? is it on youtube at all? cant seem to find any
 
I assume you have to get rid of geo blocking and go to the BBC?

REMEMBER EVERYONE - NO SPOILERS, that means we stick to SBS delayed broadcast results, or should we bend that a bit?

Like, we all know Dami made it too the final, go girl!

Life is shit at the moment, and Eurovision is a lovely escape, got your snacks ready for 3 nights of frivolous fun???
