Those vocals never fail to give me goosebumps. They really elevate the song to a great level. 2015 was good, but this is easily the best Australian entry (so far)!
@Vijay Vo She said so, but she'll have to wait another year because Montaigne got internally selected as the artist for 2021 following the cancellation of ESC 2020.
Australia 2016 is a really good example of the stage crew's prowess. When you see the Top-Down shot, you can see her floating to the ground - that's two burly stage hands bringing her down off the box. She also didn't use "special effects" per se. There was a dark transparent screen in front of her that had graphics projected on to it. The crew also moved it out of the way for the 2nd half of the performance.
Dami should have won. I was there (my first time) and everyone was truly shocked. I was so proud of Dami though, she did so well (and she’s from my home city 😊).
I wonder if she didn’t win because she’s Australian- we aren’t part of Europe and we’re invited as a special guest but sometimes I wonder if in the back of their minds, they’re like well we can invite them to be nice, but they shouldn’t win!
Naj Renchelf i truly believe what your saying must have been the most epic preformence arguably of all time seeing live in the Eurovision Arena that year.
Yeah that's arguably the single best vocal in Eurovision history. It had the misfortune of being from Australia and being in a year that was pretty much dominated by the whole Russia-Ukraine political thing. Granted Jamala was still a deserving winner and blew her performance out of the water with emotion where as Dami was the technician. It was a great year.
If we're going by purely TECHNICAL standards and metrics - intonation, breath support, breath control, legato, etc - then hands down the best vocal in Eurovision history is this year's Elina Nechayeva from Estonia, singing La Forza. She did not sing a bum note throughout the *entire* competition, and at no time did she stray from established techniques of proper vocal production. It's hard enough doing it operatically, and even then she nailed it. That is why it is *THE* most solid and proficient display of singing, whether you like operatic singing or not. Also, regardless of her superstar status, it's also hard to argue against Celine Dion (1988 winner). It's not just power, but ease of phonation through the registers, and the spinning quality of her tone. For me, Dami is a good second place behind her. Just my thoughts.
I’m so glad you like the song so much! I was super sad when Australia didn’t win that year, ‘cause it really had everything a winning song and performance should have. It’s still one of my favourite ESC songs and possibly the only one where I prefer the live performance to the studio version bc THOSE VOCALS!
She was the real winner that year! Jamala was second on both televoting and jury votes but they gave her tha win, for political reasons. Dami is a great singer!
She looked like a Fairy Princess. She lead the voting all the way but had victory snatched from her right at the end but Australia is very proud of her.
As a Swede I am so proud for this year, this is really the best Eurovision ever and we got to host it, so so proud and I had the honor of beting a volunteer this year, and for me as such a big Eurovisionfan it is like a neverending party going on and you never want it to end. I have so many wonderful memories that I will have forever and I get goosebumps wathcing this beacuse of the memories. I remember seeing Dami in her beuatiful dress and I will never ever forget seeing Lordi in the golf carts, for those of you who is thinking of applying to be a volunteer next year, do not just think, just do it you will have the time of your lite, I promise! As always Jake, you are doing a great job with your reactions!
Eurovision Viveka I agree. I loved Mans and Petra! They were the best hosts!!! And there were so many amazing performances that year. I still regularly listen to about 10 of the performances from 2016, some three years later!
She was the best vocally that year. People are trying to pull some nonsense about how the jury was wrong putting her 1st like she was some random talentless singer. Australia did the work for their first ESC. It was perfect. Her being first in the jury vote makes sense, the song and the vocals were perfect. I guess people didnt want for it to won because of the whole « Australia winning EUROvision » but keep telling also, the song is just there to there the most important thing is the staging...it’s a SONG contest... Australia did good, she deserves her 2nd place.
Once again, I loved your reaction. Listening to you give your opinion on the song of Australia was as if listening to my thoughts. I got goosebumps exactly at the same time that you did too! And at the same time that the tears came to your eyes, tears came to my eyes as well. I agree 100% with your opinion about the performance of Australia. Thank you Jake, I loved the video. Amazing reaction!
My favourite performance of this century. It resonates with me personally as 2015 my sister passed away and I was suffering with clinical depression and literally what she was saying "now my heart awakes to the sound of silence" - that literally is what I was telling Doctors. My sister was there and now she's gone, so my heart is beating silently because I'm just looking at her in an urn. Dami Im has grown so much from where she came from her audition to Eurovision 2016. So proud of her, as were a lot of my Korean friends ♥
The crowd definitely loved our Aussie star Dami Im... You could hear them screaming throughout the entire performance! Gosh I wish she won that year... ;)
Of 2016 it was the best song and her singing was wonderful. She did win the jury vote if I remember correctly. Australia's best Eurovision song too date.
Hey Jake, thankyou for the reaction for our Dami, and yes we her fans are very proud of her and we still say she was robbed. She got down when the camera angle changed to a top view and 2 men quickly helped her down of the box. Dami im is an amazing singer that still struggles to get herself known in OZ. Australians are really hard on our OZ artists and especially in this Genre of Music. Dami is a very busy artist in OZ and is booked out constantly for obvious reasons, her vocals are extraordinary all the time. If you have watched her performances on xfactor, she has sang many Genres with standing ovations all the way through. Dami wants to go overseas. Dami said while at Eurovision she realised that she wants to put her own Music she loves to sing pop, but she wants to do what she knows before she was found on xfactor. So she has decided to go back to her roots and put a jazz/pop sound out. But she will still sing pop in future also. Dami is a classical pianist and also plays the violin and Flute, and she loves Aleesha keys style and wants to exemplify her. Dami is working on a new originals album and it will be released late 2019. It is then that she wants to tour the US and other place. This is the style of Music she wants to produce. This one on her Album just released April this year which is mostly a covers album. I hear a song' czcams.com/video/pKASdGIjRAE/video.html audio only and this which will be released on her new album video and Audio. czcams.com/video/43A50Xr-v6c/video.html Dami can sing any Genre because she has an amazing voice. Here is Dami singing 'purple rain' on the day Prince died a tribute to him so incredible. czcams.com/video/0irYEKTnP7g/video.html I hope you enjoy them. It is people like you that will get Dami there sooner if she can get more voices to ask her to go.
I love Dami, she's already pretty big here in Australia. Although, she isn't super focussed on stardom, so I don't know if you'll see her in the US especially since she has moved more towards jazz music now since that's her passion.
dami is still doing pop music, yes she put an album out with jazzy undertones her 1st passion is still pop music. new album is coming out in about 6 months.
because Jamala got high with both juries and televote. Australia and russia scored on top of one, but were lower at another. That's not "funny", that's math.
Actually that's not true Dami got 1st on the jury votes and 1st on her semi final. Jamala song was totally illegal and political and should of been denied. They gave jamala the points to spite Russia and stop them winning. That's why Eurovision is now a lost cause and wont ever be the same. Most of the countries vote in blocks and don't vote for the best song, even Australia has done the same by voting Sweden all the time, so for me Eurovision is rubbish now. Note I am only here because of Dami im in whom i am a big fan.
Russia got 361 televote, coming first, Ukraine got 323 coming second and Australia got 191, coming FOURTH. with the juries Australia got 320 coming first, Ukraine got 211coming second and Russia got 130, coming FIFTH. can you count? cause if not, i can count for you. Both Russia and Australia scored hight on one side, but lower or another, Ukraine scored second in both, add the votes and you get the winner. Dami would not win this, she was not 1st in the tele and Russia was not with the juries. The fact you're salty does not change that. That does not change the fact that Dami is very talented and if there was any other potential winner aside from Jamala, it was her, not Sergey.
for a country that is not even in Europe dami im and sound of silence did very well, Really SOS and Dai were the winner, especially since many Europeans did not like OZ being their. As I said Eurovision is tarnished and not a fair competition. They have to stop this block voting and song that has any Lyrics that mention any other country should be banned.
This song had lots of meaning for people who have loved ones away serving for there country etc and yes 100% Goosebumps! ❤ still my favourite Australian entry in 2021.
Jake if you want more Dami Im greatness (in your own private time, or if you want to react to them, then), look up her X factor Australia journey, it was more or less a vocal masterclass week in and week out, with pretty good stage performances too
@JakesFaceReacts... I just found you today. I had a pretty bad day but seing your genuine reactions to music made me happy again. I can tell you really like music and that some of it goes straight to your heart. As it should! Take care! 🌸/ Moa from Stockholm Sweden
we are extremely proud of her, dami is putting anew album in mid 2019, she is intending to travel overseas after then. damis busy in oz but she struggles to get the recognition she deserves, her voice is outstanding and she gives us goosebumps every time she sings. dami is respected in oz, but the music industry in oz almost ignore her because of her genre and the fact she is an xfactor winner. sony do very little for her, they are soul destroying.
#Suggestion React to Romania 2013, It's My Life, with Cezar. I'm sure you'll enjoy the uniqueness/weirdness of the tune. It's like a weird version of this year's tune from Estonia.
So my top 3 of 2016 was: France, Sweden, Bulgaria (they all finished in 4.-6. place), even though I thought Ukraine was a worthy winner. I was also happy for Australia's 2nd place, Dami Im had a great performance. But in 2015 was my favorite ESC song of all times - Estonia's "Goodbye To Yesterday", with couple of other amazing songs from Latvia, Belgium, Israel and Italy - I can't wait for you to react to all of those :) Love watching your reactions! Enjoy your day, Jake :)
Ah! Only just found this! Dami was robbed! We were all holding our breath back home because she was phenomenal and clearly the winner, but of course people were still a bit shirty about Australia’s inclusion (yet no one complains that Israel isn’t in Europe?) and there was the whole Russia threatening to annex Ukraine thing. Sucked for Russia too because their entrant was also really good 😅 Dami has been our best entrant and we absolutely adore her here, but a close second to her was Kate Miller-Heidke in 2019. She’s also spectacular.
Love your reaction. Dami Im is a true talent I feel since she remains in Australia she will never get the recognition she deserves. PS When you get a chance listen to her version of Purple Rain Live definitely further GooseBumps.
yes you are right, dami is an incredible performer, but Australians are hard on their female artist and even though is doing better than most her music struggles in a male dominated Australia. I think she is totally wasted in oz, they don't deserve this amazing artist. sony her label give her very little help with promoting her music.
Please do a series on funny novelty entries in esc at some point, that would be great! There are so many gems like Spain's 2008 Baila el chiki chiki, France's 2014 Moustache, Romania's 2013 Its my life , just to mention a few...
One of the saddest part about EV 2016 was how it was used politically to send a vindictive message to the Russian Government. The Eurovision Contest was created to promote "Unity & Peace" in Europe, but they seem to have forgotten that fact, and weaponized the competition.
We Australians are more then proud of Dami. Have to say we were robbed by two reasons. 1. Politcs because of the Ukraine situation. 2. No matter who we send to the EV we will never win because we are guests (Not Europeans) and the logictics of it on the other side of the world are too much for Europe. In saying that we were robbed, she should have won.
I think vocally this blew everything else out of the water, but I think the staging was just bland with her sitting there for the most of it. Like gimme fireworks! But it is a power ballad and they’re hard to stage properly.
Hi Jake...can you please react to Iceland 2016...it didnt go through to finals and I believe it was thought to be the shocking result of 2016. I would really like to hear your opinion about that :)

Yup. Way better than the studio version.
@Vijay Vo She said so, but she'll have to wait another year because Montaigne got internally selected as the artist for 2021 following the cancellation of ESC 2020.
I agree.
definitely Australia’s best entry! hopefully we can bring more songs like this
The best one for me,still can't believe she didn't win.
One of the few times the juries got it right and the public wrong
Australia 2016 is a really good example of the stage crew's prowess. When you see the Top-Down shot, you can see her floating to the ground - that's two burly stage hands bringing her down off the box. She also didn't use "special effects" per se.

Dami should have won. I was there (my first time) and everyone was truly shocked. I was so proud of Dami though, she did so well (and she’s from my home city 😊).
OzNix05 all right. Dami Im robbed. Why?
jamala 1st song is Old songs, political songs, violations of Eurovision rules !!
I wonder if she didn’t win because she’s Australian- we aren’t part of Europe and we’re invited as a special guest but sometimes I wonder if in the back of their minds, they’re like well we can invite them to be nice, but they shouldn’t win!
Iagree.
She went in and rekt the entire arena that night with her vocals! It was absolutely INSANE! 👀
Naj Renchelf i truly believe what your saying must have been the most epic preformence arguably of all time seeing live in the Eurovision Arena that year.
One of the 3 best songs in Eurovision history along with Euphoria and Grande Amore.
Yeah that's arguably the single best vocal in Eurovision history. It had the misfortune of being from Australia and being in a year that was pretty much dominated by the whole Russia-Ukraine political thing. Granted Jamala was still a deserving winner and blew her performance out of the water with emotion where as Dami was the technician. It was a great year.
Respectfully, I do beg to differ. Carola, singing Främling in 1983, was just so outstandingly good. And she was only 16 back then, as well.
Hey I did say "arguably" lol - feel free to argue. (I'll stick with Dami - I like pure pop power ballads lol)
Celine Dion is in my opinion number one when it comes to vocals in ESC
If we're going by purely TECHNICAL standards and metrics - intonation, breath support, breath control, legato, etc - then hands down the best vocal in Eurovision history is this year's Elina Nechayeva from Estonia, singing La Forza. She did not sing a bum note throughout the *entire* competition, and at no time did she stray from established techniques of proper vocal production.

The best vocals was Pastora Soler (Spain 2012)
I’m so glad you like the song so much! I was super sad when Australia didn’t win that year, ‘cause it really had everything a winning song and performance should have. It’s still one of my favourite ESC songs and possibly the only one where I prefer the live performance to the studio version bc THOSE VOCALS!
Winning vocals and performance, yes. Winning song? No. The song itself is pretty average. She sells it well, though.
“How’d she get down?” Eurovision magic, brother 😂
LOL - 2 blokes in black clothes.
She was the real winner that year! Jamala was second on both televoting and jury votes but they gave her tha win, for political reasons. Dami is a great singer!
I agree.
She looked like a Fairy Princess. She lead the voting all the way but had victory snatched from her right at the end but Australia is very proud of her.
That was a very good year. All countries sent their best songs and Sweden never fails in making a show
2016 was f'd up.
Australia not winning
Ukraine winning
Norway not passing the semi
As a Swede I am so proud for this year, this is really the best Eurovision ever and we got to host it, so so proud and I had the honor of beting a volunteer this year, and for me as such a big Eurovisionfan it is like a neverending party going on and you never want it to end.

Australia did good, she deserves her 2nd place.
When I saw that, I said "We have the next Celine Dion!"
Amazing vocals...
Dami Im = Queen.
She was phenomenal ✨💜 I loved watching the Final Live. She still gives me goosebumps.
Once again, I loved your reaction. Listening to you give your opinion on the song of Australia was as if listening to my thoughts. I got goosebumps exactly at the same time that you did too!

In Australia, we are very proud of Dami Im!
The crowd definitely loved our Aussie star Dami Im... You could hear them screaming throughout the entire performance! Gosh I wish she won that year... ;)
a funeral March song is what ended up beating this epic performance.
This was so epic, my winner that year! Such a great song and amazing singer. She should be on top of the charts worldwide!
yes you are right, but sony music do nothing for her and her music.
Of 2016 it was the best song and her singing was wonderful. She did win the jury vote if I remember correctly. Australia's best Eurovision song too date.
SHE SHOULD HAVE WON.......
I think Australia have had good contestants every year so far...
Once again the live performance exceeds expectations. Waaaaay better than the studio version!
That's because Australian singers are raised on performing live. They always sound better live. Their concerts never disappoint.
I feel like every entry from my country will be judged from our best in 2016. This is our best entry
Hey Jake, thankyou for the reaction for our Dami, and yes we her fans are very proud of her and we still say she was robbed.

because Jamala got high with both juries and televote. Australia and russia scored on top of one, but were lower at another. That's not "funny", that's math.
Veronica Anrathi and you dont need to be triggered about that
Actually that's not true Dami got 1st on the jury votes and 1st on her semi final.

She should have won Eurovision that year. Her voice is phenomenal!
A brilliant performance with focus on the artist and her singing rather than on flashy staging. I loved it back then, and I love it now.
Can’t wait for you to do this with 2015! Latvia, Belgium, and Estonia especially!
She should have won. Australia has so many top performers.
Jake if you want more Dami Im greatness (in your own private time, or if you want to react to them, then), look up her X factor Australia journey, it was more or less a vocal masterclass week in and week out, with pretty good stage performances too
BEST VOCAL EVER!!! 💣
Prepare yourself for 2015. Best contest ever.

She was amazing, I supported her, love from Ukraine 🇺🇦
Should have won
Great song, great voice !!
we are extremely proud of her, dami is putting anew album in mid 2019, she is intending to travel overseas after then. damis busy in oz but she struggles to get the recognition she deserves, her voice is outstanding and she gives us goosebumps every time she sings.
dami is respected in oz, but the music industry in oz almost ignore her because of her genre and the fact she is an xfactor winner. sony do very little for her, they are soul destroying.
And televoters ranked it 4th, just behind Poland... I still cannot believe that.
#Suggestion React to Romania 2013, It's My Life, with Cezar. I'm sure you'll enjoy the uniqueness/weirdness of the tune. It's like a weird version of this year's tune from Estonia.

Hi! Please react to Alyosha - Sweet People (Ukraine)
Helen Shafieva Yess I remember that one! It was my favorite that year, so dark and meaningfull. Great and interesting singer as well!
Outstanding
So my top 3 of 2016 was: France, Sweden, Bulgaria (they all finished in 4.-6. place), even though I thought Ukraine was a worthy winner. I was also happy for Australia's 2nd place, Dami Im had a great performance.
But in 2015 was my favorite ESC song of all times - Estonia's "Goodbye To Yesterday", with couple of other amazing songs from Latvia, Belgium, Israel and Italy - I can't wait for you to react to all of those :) Love watching your reactions! Enjoy your day, Jake :)
Epic song! 😍
Okay, I'm confused. Haven't you already reacted to top 3 from? Am I back in time or am I missing something?
Anyways, loved the reaction as usual.
I loved Australia that year .
May I suggest you react to Italy 2015 You will get goosebumps for sure 😉

Can you make a reaction on Albania 2012 Rona Nishliu Suus
She is the true winner for me
Did you know that she is from South Korea? I think it's great
React to The hardkiss - helpless Ukraine 2016 , please
You have to react to Petra and Måns - Love love peace peace!! 😂😂
Moa08 he's already reacted to it in a previous video 😀
Are you sure? 😝 I can’t find it! 😅
Moa08 I can remember Jake reacting to it but I'm not sure if it got blocked due to copyright issues (damn EBU) so best to ask Jake
Australia is not a guest. Our SBS television channel is a part of that network and we have every right to compete. Israel isn't European.
It would be great to see u react to blue for the UK from 2011
This should have won, it’s so much better then Ukraine’s song, and also Russia’s song!
Can you rect to the rytm inside belgium 2015
I think vocally this blew everything else out of the water, but I think the staging was just bland with her sitting there for the most of it. Like gimme fireworks! But it is a power ballad and they’re hard to stage properly.
Jackson H try to pull off those amazing vocal sitting. Not that easy.
Tranamal 72 my problem wasn’t with her voice though? :’)
You need to react to Jedward from Ireland doing Lipstick in 2011, I'll be surprised if you don't fall in love with it they're amazing
Hi Jake...can you please react to Iceland 2016...it didnt go through to finals and I believe it was thought to be the shocking result of 2016. I would really like to hear your opinion about that :)
Australia should send someone like dami. Someone with a great song paired with impeccable vocals.
they already did in 2016
Please react to 2015 Slovenia, Maaraya - Here for you.
React to medely of previous winners in 2012. It was epic!!!
When i watch this, i thinked WHAT? Australia in esc? Thats ridicilous
My #suggestion is to react to Latvia Eurovision 2016 it was amazing!!
Jake i would love to see your reaction for Serbian song from 2016❤
Hey please react to Greek entries (2001, 2004, 2008, 2011 etc)
Great performance, amazing vocal, gorgeous Dami...but I absolutely don’t like this song...so sad(
Please don't cry :(
React to Rona Nishliu- Suus ( Albania 2012)..
3:33 you asked how did Dami get down. I've watched the back scenes and just a second there, dami was helped down by 2 crew members.
And also the same crew members removed the podium
3:33 I know that I came 4 years after but she get down during the camera view from the top of the Arena.
2 men carried her down while the camera was of her.
Pls react to Sweden 2014!
