You guys, Australia came SO CLOSE to winning Eurovision.
In case you didn't get up early to watch it, Dami Im absolutely nailed her Eurovision performance.
Divine! @Damiandmusic has come a long way to sing here and we're so glad she did! #AUS #Eurovision https://t.co/nTWsVELzPT
Like, really, she nailed it.
And she knew she nailed it.
This is such a dream, thank you #Eurovision! So honored to be performing on this stage tonight ❤️🇦🇺#DamiArmy
Then the votes started coming in. No one could quite believe Australia was winning.
when australia is in the lead #EUROVISION
when we can't even win our own show bc australia has to be better than us all #eurovision
"Australia is a big part of Europe and should definitely be in the Eurovision Song Contest."
We actually won the jury vote. It was all going to come down to the public vote.
Jury vote: #Eurovision 1st #Australia 🇦🇺 #AUS 320 2d #Ukraine 🇺🇦 #UKR 211 3d #France 🇫🇷 #FRA 148
The Europeans were so mad. But, who cares tbh.
Actually we're fucking Europe pretty hard 😎😎😎 https://t.co/9x9ON6Y5vL
The tension was high.
My heart is legit racing at an unhealthy speed #Australia #Eurovision
omg this is very tense #SBSEurovision
Holy shit this is exciting.
Needless to say, @simonjonespr can't cope with the tension... #Eurovision
And then it became clear. We might actually win this thing.
Holy crap, this is actually happening. #Eurovision
This is hilarious/awesome #SBSEurovision
But then just like that...
Oh no #Eurovision
The dream was over.
oh no oh no oh no #SBS
Ukraine just beat us, with their huge public vote moving them ahead of us on the leaderboard. They scored 534 points to our 511.
And the winner is...... UKRAINE! #Eurovision https://t.co/dKDgnBAh6v
Even Sweden thought we had it in the bag.
So apparently the Swedish news were so convinced Australia would win they put up the wrong graphic. #Eurovision
People were pissed.
More like Totalrortvision amirite
Oh my goodness. Are we at war now? #Eurovision
AUSTRALIA WAS ROBBED. UKRAINE HAD ONE OF THE WORST SONGS. EUROPE WHAT IS UP WITH YOU OMG #Eurovision
But still, second is pretty good when you remember we're not even in Europe.
Second comes right after first! #Eurovision
