Australia is ready for the Eurovision Song Contest 2024.
Australia has been participating in Eurovision ever since 2015 when EBU formally invited the Australian broadcaster SBS to participate for its cultural ties with Europe as well as to celebrate Eurovision's 60 years anniversary.
Since then, the country has always been a part of the lineup and will continue to do so, at least, in 2024. This year with the duo Electric Fields that has just been announced as the Australian representative for the contest to be held in Sweden. Electric Fields was internally selected by SBS.
Their song "One Milkali (One Blood)" is written by the duo themselves and has just been released.

As an Australian, i was excited to see Electric Fields being selected though its not as strong as other years. I love that it does have a cultural element and my fingers will be crossed in the semis 😊🇦🇺❤
Hello, I am from Australia. I am a First Nation's Gamillaroi woman. Yes Electric Fields are representing Australia. Zachariah Fielding is a great musician, with Michael Ross. We are so proud to be in Eurovision. And Hell Europe and the Middle East - stop ripping yourselves apart because of an idea of borders, race and ethnicity. Stop killing.
I think they will elevate the song at stage! he is really good live and entertaining!
I really hope so too
I’ve heard that they plan to do something that’s never been done of the stage before
I really like this song and it resonates well with my heart. Have fun in Sweden, Australia.❤
The Australian song was released on the 6th of March here in Australia. Time zones 😉
Why is everyone hating on this?😭 first minute is kinda meh but it got better and better imo
I like it. 🇭🇲 There is something about it. Does it stand out enough is the question.
I wish I knew why everyone is hating on it. Maybe it's not a game changer but it's a bop and has a didgeridoo! I really can't understand that 2.6 star rating on Eurovision World.
@@ESCStephI expected at least 4*
It really is crap and so is the artist.
@@garethde-witt6433 How is it crap? I really like it.
This is a song made to be performed live, I feel this could be the Gustaph dark horse of this year
Tbf when this was released it was the 6th in Australia.
I really love this song ! This year, this song is unique because there are many dance bangers. I think people who are not into dance music will eat this a lot and it could qualify
Bring out the digaradoo elements louder and on stage with outback australia feel will be great
Love the song!
I love electric fields, but i do think their 2019 entry, 2000 and whatever, was so much better
I like our song but im not sure if it stands out enough to qualify. Our live performance will definitely be a lot better because Live music is Australia's strength but I dont know if it will be good enough to help the song stand out in SF One.
It will definitely qualify! I thought Australia wasn’t gonna qualify last year and they won the semi
@@nzkid2599 I really hope so. I do like the song and it will be amazing staged. I do hope they go a bit harder with the Aboriginal instrument sounds though when live. I think that could help it stand out a lot more.
Will Definetly be decided by the running order. If we get a good running order cramped between a few weaker countries and our life is good we can Definetly qualify
@@CallistoTheWarriorQueen absolutely I love those sounds
They need best staging ever i hope Australia can do well staging like last year was the best
I like this!!
Am i the only one who likes it???
I'm Australian and I hate it!. It will not qualify.
I love it
I don’t hate it, I find it more interesting than majority of songs this year
@@nzkid2599 As a fellow kiwi, i love this song too. Let's get NZ behind this entry eventhough we can't vote. Go for it Electric Fields, you are our team too 😘.
No i like it
SBS announced it exactly as planned. Wasn't late.
Absolutely ecstatic to see Electric Fields make it to ESC!
Also I think it’s the 6th already in Australia.
This has really grown on me since the first listen actually and I love the aboriginal elements and language ❤
This is a great song, vocals and lyrics are sublime, i do feel the music needs punching up a bit.
I usually don't like radio pop (or really pop in general) but I love this song for some reason. I think it will grow on people.
I love the song ….
I like this song, I dont think it will win buth I will listen to it over and over again. I feel good song for shure
Love it
I've been really loving the song, the traditional elements mixed with a little bit of that house element fits so well. I do think the MV is a little off-putting with the awkward eye contact and doesn't quite match the song (also being shirtless doesn't help), and it's probably why the song hasn't gotten the greatest reception yet. I'm so looking forward to seeing this live and I really hope they bring out more traditional elements on stage. We know they have the stage presence so I'm not writing Australia out of qualifying this year, but they're in the tough semi so a good performance is crucial.
I think they should of made a special part like the bridge all cultural sounds I really enjoy it
I Like this Song
Hi Noosh!
2000 and Whatever was way better😭😭😭
I loved that too but this may be more accessible for some people?? Feels more mature.
But that’s just your opinion
there are worlds between 😢😢😢
@@myrawatters1036I agree.
Well it’s not eligible ok? We need to move on
I really like it. Makes you feel good and want to listen to it.
I think it will close the semi final and go through in 9th or 10th
I like the song but I think it can be reworked into something PHENOMENAL! A punchier, bouncier beat and really emphasising the didgeridoo would be amazing. Remember Pet Shop Boys 'Go West' Mings Gone West 1st & 2nd Movement (that is the name of the remix)? The second half of that nine minute track had so many nature sounds in it. Imagine if this song also featured sounds native only to the Australian outback and bush! This has the potential to be absolutely unique and win an entire fan base across Europe and the world. But it needs some thoughtful re-production!
2000 and whatever is way better, but i do know the main singer has good stage presence, so they could make this work.
I thought it was weird on first listen. But I actually grew to like it more upon further listens
I think its because the song is great but the video is so of putting
I really like this and personally have it in my 7th place but I do think that songs like this walk a sharp edge between sincere and saccharine and this video probably makes a lot of people uncomfortable. I hope thier staging can help people connect with it but I'm under no illusion that this is even guaranteed to qualify this year. It's a tough selection this year and spiritual, sincere, come together as one songs are a dangerous cliche in today's eurovision.
I love it. Maybe it won't qualify but it's a bop and I'm going to enjoy listening to it. Wish the music video was better though. The budget must've been about $5.
So dumb that our own song gets released at 5AM ahahah, but personally I don't get the hate, I actually really like it and with elevated staging I can see this qualifying regardless
i feel like australia should go back to national selections instead of internally selecting artists that have participated in australia decides and havent gone to eurovision, this applies to montaigne, voyager and now electric fields. the songs they sent at australia decides were way better imo
I normally love Australias entry 🇦🇺 but I was bored on listening to this 🥱 and couldn’t remember it after 🤷🏼♀️ Love a didgeridoo though 😂 xx 💋
As An Australian this gives me Non Qualifier Vibes. I think im supporting France 🇫🇷
As an Australian SBS needs to stop being lazy and sending runners up from previous years they don’t care as much as they used to. Hopefully the national selection returns or a song with a big production in the future years
So true, they don't seem to bother looking for new artists and just send 2nd places from Australia Decides, sadly. We need a better internal selection next year or alternatively bring Australia Decides back so we can vote on our entry.
comparing Electric Fields to Belgium's Gustav is... a choice
I'm definitely feeling this! But the feeling isn't at all good. And I barely could keep myself from turning this off before it was finished. I guess the song is not my style from the start. But I find it rather meh, goes nowhere - and it definitely doesnt leave me with a wish of hearing it again.
I wouldnt be surprised if this end up NQ.
First
First of all, it’s pretty cool that these guys are being given a second shot at Eurovision. However, it feels a bit uninspired to just pick someone from the previous NFs and just send them. Why not invite them to a new NF and get some fresh faces in, some fresh talent?! Secondly, the song itself is okay but not the best Electric Fields have ever recorded. There’s a lack of ethnic sounds this time but it’s more accessible to the general public. I have a feeling this will struggle to make an impact in the semi final of death, unless Australia can produce a unique but memorable staging. People won’t understand what is going on, unless it’s explained. Finally, the music video is BASIC. A lyric video? Really? If this had been Rim Tim Tagi Dim, it would have been quirky and memorable but it’s kind of cringe. Give us a REAL music video if you want us to be hyped about your entry this year. Mike drop!
The beginning wasn't that bad, but then it progressed towards that annoying clothes-store music kind of sound
Great to hear some Aboriginal language, but the song is really repetitive and dated
Some of y’all are just so blimmin fussy
….and so shallow, if it’s not someone with a gimmick or some kind of weird screeching it’s not good enough. This is a wonderful uplifting song with some great cultural elements and I can’t wait to see it live.
People, it's her choice to ignore the Israeli song, respect the fact that she doesn't respect you. Her silence says it all. Disappointing
Yeh I'm not feeling this
What is up with some of the broadcasters sending songs like they belong in the early 2000's or older?
I like the didgeridoo and native Australian language and the song is pleasant and radio-friendly...but sounds like it belongs in the 90s or early 2000's.
It's a no from me...Australia I fear will be getting it's 2nd NQ.
Strange and bored!
I live in Australia for two years ? I notice that Australia is very sensitive if comes to Aboriginal issue ? If the is Aboriginal sport person they get a lot attention and publicity ? And I think that way this song was selected ? If there was Asian women with white man I don’t think the song would be selected ! But same time she got very nice voice but the song is nothing special and there is nothing what you can say wow ! Sorry Australians for me 0 point ! Actually I never understand why Australia is in Eurovision festival ? 😂 thank you and good luck ❤
Australia's best performances at Eurovision were 2nd place in 2016 by Dami Im and Guy Sebastian who placed 5th in 2015. Both were born in Asia. So trust me we love Asian-Australians. Our Eurovision entrants have come from a multitude of ethnic backgrounds but all call Australia home.
Also Aussies don't really know why we are still in Eurovision but we keep getting invited and if you know us, we can never say to no to joining an awesome party! 😄🥳
@@kismetau ha ha The contract for Eurovision already expired but Australia ask for new contract ? Bu the condition for the contract are not good for Australia ? I read in paper ? Also even Australia win can’t host the festival in Australia ! The festival must stay in Europe !
@@EA00000 Since you've lived here you can see that we are a country of migrants especially from Europe. We have the Italians to thank for our coffee culture for one thing.
Eurovision has been popular here for decades - we happily get up at 5am to watch it. If people in Europe are against us being in Eurovision, we would respect that decision but would still continue to watch the show passionately as always. Also remember we are not the only non-European country to take part. And it's actually a good thing we can't host the event here - less stress for us and we don't need to clean up afterwards 😂
So as long as we are welcomed (and from all the positive feedback and votes we seem to be) we will do our best to entertain. If not, we will take one last bow and leave the stage. It's been a fun ride so far!!
Such a bad year. I think I can find ten songs from 2023, including the NF's, that are better than the best of 2024.
2023 was terrible compared to this year
@@AntoniaXx. No, you could take most of the songs from just Finland’s national contest and easily place them in this year’s Eurovision top 10 so far.
2000 & Whatever is a masterpiece compared to this.
OMG to jest złe
OMG I'm Australian and I am sooooo gutted. This is terrible. First Eurovision I'm not watching.
OMGs!! You just hate this song that you say the same shit on every reaction. Get over it!
Your loss? lol
@@zymantas23 yess it is my loss, and so many other Australians. Anywho, just my opinion.
You're really not going to watch the entire show over one song?
Well that's your loss ❤
@erinbiko9567 Yes...I'm gutted right now.
They really have to have a special act on stage because the song is very mediocre
everyone who said "united by music" but ignore one of the countries just because they afraid of their audience, is the definition of hypocrisy :)
free palestine and fuck zionism
Hallo. In Serbia, even if the song has been chosen, the selection for the song is not over yet. Citizens who voted for the second-placed BRESKVICA(Small Pitch). They announced a large protest meeting in front of the building of RADIO TELEVISION SERBIA because of election theft. The second-placed Breskvica received 45,000 audience votes, the first-placed TEA-VILA RAMUNDA received 28,000 votes. The arrival of several tens of thousands of citizens is expected.
Jesus, it's just Eurovision 😅 Really?? That is disturbing
Don't think that it gonna change anything tbh.For us , Ukrainians big scandal was needed to not send Maruv and Pash (and by big scandal I mean like HUGE , Pash literally visited Crimea after 2014 , what lead to her disqualification and Maruv scandal was a terrible mess).
I don't see smth like that happening to Teya Dora , I might be wrong , I know nothing about Serbian society anyway
@@audi0078 Yep. Thats not disturbing, justicec must be satisfied. People voted for Breskvica in big numbers, twice times biger then Tea. Also, number of youtube views on final night was 1 500 000 for Breskvica and 550 000 for Tea.
@@DramaticTeacup I APS do not have nothi9ng against Tea, but i am always on side of peoples will, not will of politics and state. State wants to escape problem like israelian song has with their song. But if people wants Breskvica, people should get Breskvica.
Serbians do not realise that Breskvica, while well liked and favourited in Serbia, was not super well received by an international audience. Looking at the hype of eurofans for PZE 2024, I mostly saw massive support for Teya, Zorja & Konstrakta but not really for Breskvica. I think the choice to pick Teya was the correct one as many really love Ramonda and I don't know if Breskvica would have translated well at Eurovision.
This is so boring so sorry Australia🤗
It’s a crap song and that’s all there is to it. Australia has a habit of picking crappy songs and even crappier artists. There has only been one good Australian Artist that did Eurovision well and that was Dami Im. Australia should just give up because as usual this country is years behind everyone else.
Okay this isn’t one of my favourite songs, but it’s a lot better than many others. What country are you from? I think over the years Australia has done pretty well. I think we are more forward than some other countries, Promise by Voyager was such a unique song, same with Sheldon Riley’s, I’m not the same. Zero Gravity as well. Lots of Eurovision entries this year it is like going back 20 years or more.Not doing the Ballards all of a sudden like with have seen for years. It is like hey let’s get on the band wagon and do songs that sound like Cha Cha Cha. Most songs this year in Eurovision all sound the same , like I am at a 90’s rage party. We dance to our own beat of the drum and aren’t followers. And at least we send performers who can actually sing.
Really, Guy Sebastian wasn't good?? 😮
Just as disappointing as the entry of the UK
No, the australian song is much better.
UK is better
Funny how you can’t speak English even you tried to give your best never give up
The song evokes a feeling of absolute indifference😮💨🥱. Hurray song for tea☕🍵....The most faceless song of this year.🤷 That feeling when ethnicity doesn’t always save you...
