People seem to have collectively lost their minds for Australia’s Eurovision entry

Tonight is the final of the Eurovision, and instead of being caught up on who actually won, everyone seemed focused on the Austrailian entry.

In case you missed it, here’s the act in quesion, Isaiah singing his power ballad “Don’t Come Easy”.

Fair play to Australia, they seem to have got this Eurovision entry cracked, by hitting all the notes.

  • Power ballad? Check.
  • Big chorus you can’t help but sing along to? Check.
  • Lots of fireworks to close out? Check.
  • Eyebrows? Check.

Anyways, Twitter had LOTS to say about it, including the now mandatory questions as to why Australia is ever a part of Eurovision, like the exact same thing didn’t happen last year, too…
