Five years later, still one of the best performances in Eurovision history.

This is why Australia were allowed in to Eurovision, they get it.

Can we all agree this is by far and away the MADDEST staging that Eurovision has ever seen. Insanely magical, will never be topped

This is what happens when you invite a country that watches the ESC at 5am on a Sunday morning. Pure, unadulterated crazy of the best kind.

Australia: Zero gravity Germany: Zero points

3 years later and I still think this is one of the most memorable stagings in eurovision

The moment Australia learned how to Eurovision

Imagine accidentally dropping the mic during this performance.

Can we just acknowledge the fact that she is singing freaking opera style high notes while flying around on a giant bendy stick. If that ain't talent, I don't know what is 😂💕💕

Whoever thought of this staging for this song is a genius

Anyone still listening nowadays??She is just perfect!

Who’s here in 2022, still with ultimate RESPECT for this incredible entry!?!

Tel Aviv: We have this amazing stage with bridges and a triangle roof! Australia: No thanks, we'll bring our own stage

Moldova 2018: we have the most complex eurovision staging EVER Kate: hold my gravity pole

It’s 2020 and I still think about how this song deserved a higher placement This performance is the embodiment of what makes Eurovision so great in so many different ways Love from Sweden

One of My all time favs. What a singer and what a show case.

And this, children, is how Australia eventually became one with the soul of Eurovision.

And people still wondering why Australia is invited. Look at the quality of this performance

3 years later - still the best thing Australia has sent. That's what we want! No playing safe, going all in with something as unique as this

This is when i knew Australia belonged in Eurovision. They get it.

She didn’t drop the microphone, thank goodness!!! 😂

Everybody is like: "What a great performance" or "She was robbed!" And there's me asking myself: "How tf did they get on these poles?"

HOW DID WE AS AUSTRALIA NOT WIN WITH THAT?!?!?!

Probably one of the best stagings we’ve ever seen in Eurovision

3600 dislikes from flat earthers

9th place is criminally low for such an amazing performance. Please people don't forget her.

Eurovision 2023 has finished- and I still didn't find a better staging than this

One of the few ESC performances that will never be forgotten

How ironic when a country so geographically far from Europe presents the most EUROvision song in the contest. Great stuff from Australia!

Please let's not forget her. She and the performance was AMAZING

The song that should have won…pure Eurovision class!

Australia might not officially be in Europe, but this is peak eurovision energy nonetheless

Australia is really living the ESC. Way more than the UK, Germany and others. They really deserve their spot in the contest!

Australia sounded the greatest. The winner in my eyes. From Russia

I remembered this song as "the opera singer with the glitter dementors". I still love it. Both the song and the staging. This is how to Eurovision!

To this day, I still audibly gasp in amazement when watching this legendary performance.

Me trying to focus on a math test: My brain: Zehe he he he he h ero, gra ha ha ha vity!

This phenomenal performance deserved to be at least in the Top 5! I'm still shocked. Kate did a fantastic job

How can anyone argue with Australia participating when they send hit after hit. This was one of the most unique performances I've seen since I started watching in 2009. Wonderous. Enchanting. I hope they continue participating until the end of time.

And people still ask why Australia is in the contest.........

The most iconic Eurovision entry in 2019. There were so many great songs this year, but this will be the most memorable.

She really deserve a very high spot. Like the song or not it's the most difficult techniquecal song in the entire competition.

fun fact: this song is about her breaking free from her depression when her son was around 2 years old, and the black dress people in the background is meant to represent said depression edit: also the term "zero gravity" is meant to represent the feeling she had when she broke free from it

She did Australia so proud with that performance.

Kate is an effing legend. I don't know how many times I've watched this. Let's talk about it: 1) the song first - it may be polarising, but it has enormous emotional range as well as vocal range. The lyrics are brief but they discuss the journey out of depression, triggered by her own realisations about post-natal depression after the first of her son. She and her husband Keir have refined that down to simple words describing fundamental ideas (as befits Eurovision), emphasising the journey back to life and out into space, and married that to a soaring lift-off half-way through the song, and a joyful, transcendent ending. There are so many musical ideas crammed in here, right down to the careful construction of the harmonies, that it does need repetition to 'get' this song - although clearly the sing-a-long crowd at the venue didn't have to hear it too many times to latch onto the chorus. 2) the delivery. It's not just that it's pitch perfect, or close as, and delivered on top of a long pole. It's her perfect control. If you watch some of the more informed reaction videos, you'll see the various 'vocal coaches' raving about the movement between her head voice and her street voice, but it's more than that. Her microphone technique is superb. Her facial expressions. Her breathing. She's not just a classically trained pop/alternative singer on a stick, she's a real professional. Close your eyes, forget the staging, and listen. 3) the staging. Have you ever seen something so breathtakingly bold? At the national final in Australia, it blew us away, even though it was a static presentation. Here, on bendy poles that she had to learn to perform on to a level of confidence where she could sing and get the choreography right without compromise, the song takes off and blasts us to space. There are plenty of 'why didn't she win? comments here. Forget them. The winner was a great song, and so was Norway's. It's not *ever* about who gets the most points, it's about what you bring into the world to make it a better place. Kate's song and performance were on another level, and will be remembered in a different way, which is why she won the artistic prize. Once seen, never forgotten. Legend, Kate, absolute effing legend.

The audience engagement with this song gives me goosebumps. She can’t see them through the lights, everyone is staring at the ceiling to see her and yet she feels like she’s making eye contact with every single person in the room. EVERYTHING about this performance is perfection.

I love to see how people are still watching this. I randomly remembered the “flying girl from Australia” as I said in 2019. I’ve never watched this RU-vid video but so glad I randomly remembered it

The performance where Australia proved that they could stand equally with the most creative performers across all of Europe.

Australia has just changed the competition forever!! Best eurovision performance I have ever seen ❤

Hearing the crowd sing the chorus was so nice and cool! Go Australia! 🇦🇺

Arguably the best performance in Eurovision history.

I came across this mentioned in my history textbook, I think it's fair to say this is legend now.

If you take one moment and consider about the vocal techniques, this woman had the best technique. Well done!!

This fiercely talented artist knocked spots off the rest of the competition. Who wouldn’t vote for someone who can sing such a difficult song flawlessly, while strapped to the top of a vertigo-inducing bendy pole? And the stunningly imaginative staging made it the most visually creative performance ever produced on Eurovision. Congratulations to Kate and all those involved.

A masterpiece that deserved so much better than 9th place.

One in a million performances.....

Beautiful woman ✔️ Incredible voice ✔️ Amazing & Original staging ✔️ Beautiful song ✔️ Deserved to win !

She didn't win Eurovision (too miserable for her), she won Galaxyvision! Love from France!

how can her singing be so clean whilst she’s being flung around by poles? impressive performance 💕🤟🏻

2:34 I am so glad they captured the synch swinging! Still one of my favorite performances!!!

Her voice is as bright as crystal! A fairytale performance ! 🎭💙❤

I thought she’d do better than 9th, even saw her as a possible winner. This was the best staging this year.

Who is here in 2024? Rewatching this now makes you realise how quality an EV song can be. Put pretty much the whole of 2024 to shame.

Australia : z-e-e-e-e ro, gra-a-a-a-a viti Germany : z-e-e-e-e ro,po-o-o-o-o ints

Just wanted to say thank you for international fans for showing us so much love

Still cannot believe how this was not a winner!

This is seriously one of the best performances EVER on Eurovision. That beautiful ending with Kate and her contagious smile is everything. I strive to be as good of a performer as she is.

For me, the most iconic staging in the history of Eurovision. That voice is otherwordly! Amazing! She should have placed higher. Congrats, Australia! Love, from the Philippines! 🇵🇭 I hope Eurovision will also invite the Philippines in the future. We have some of the best singers/composers in the world. 🙏

Best vocals and staging. I'm still shocked it didn't finish in the top 3. Very underrated.

The crowd singing in the background was so precious!

2:10 - 2:15 The best moment of this song, Kate's voice is extremely high and i'm still shocked how she reaches this high voice

Australia takes "The world is my stage" very literally.

I voted for this. It's a masterpiece. 9th place is shameful. This song and performance is outstanding!

Kate has done Australia so proud. 😁🇦🇺

the most most most underrated entry ever. she gave everything.

2:10 One of THE definitive greatest Eurovision moments ever.... a mindblowing performance and concept, song is okay on its own but overall this is one of the most memorable entries of all time!

The best staging in Eurovision Song contest ever!!! And that voice is outstanding!!! I think it should be at least in the top 3!!!

dear Kate, I still can't believe that you only got 9th place... this masterpiece should win.....

So much better than the winner that year... A brilliant performance which fell on a brilliant ESC year. Although 2019 did not have many good songs, it had sublime artistic management and top-notch direction, resulting in most live stage versions looking & sounding much better than the official CGI clips.

The best staging I have ever seen in Eurovision

Goosebumps. This will be remembered for a long time.

Fantastic performance, voice, song. Unique in many views. Yet another fucking great Australian entry after Demi Im. Since they came on the Eurovision song contest, these Aussies looks like they know what they are doing.

Probably my favourite Eurovision moment ever. And that’s a hard call to make.

a piece of Eurovision history that will be remembered forever. Extraordinary

first time Australia was seriously underrated :( this a top 5 performance

My Wig was found in Jupiter. Condragulations! You are the WINNER of this week challenge.

In 2019 i wasn't a fan of this song, i think it was at my very bottom of that year. Now i think it was one of the best entries in 2019, the staging, the vocals. Why i was so blind, deaf then?

What's not to love about a woman singing a camp song on top of a wobbly stick? This is what Eurovision is all about!

Australia always has the coolest performances ever since they joined! They are smart and oozing with sophistication n class.

Absolutely gutted that Kate didnt win. You still made us so proud. Much love from Australia.

Coming back after several years this song still makes me happy

This is still the craziest staging that I've ever watched. The song is also uniquely written. Her voice is perfect. Everything about this performance is wonderful!

in semi-final: wtff is this songg?? in final:ohh nice after eurovision:Z E E E E E RO GR A A A A A A VITY *edit:omgg thanks for likes*

I'd been waiting for Australia to stop timidly dipping its toes in the Eurovision pool with good but standard entries, and finally wholeheartedly take the plunge. I was not disappointed.

Can't believe they didn't win...they are the true winners that year and everyone knows it!!

This is one of the best live performances of anything, anywhere, not just Eurovision. It's 2023 and I'm still in shock that this didn't win in 2019. It's a travesty. The amount of talent Kate Miller-Heidke has is astounding!

Her 9th place is well respectable but we all knew she deserved more after this wonderful, out of this world performance! We love you so much Kate, and we're so proud of you! 💗

The whole family voted all we could for Australia which was about $10 dollars worth. Amazing performance! Keep it up Australia. You are swimming upstream (better than all I'd say) at the moment but Europe will accept your entrance and grant you a well deserved victory one day.

Imagine if you went to school with her. 10 years pass. Youre talking with someone who also went to your school. "Hey remember Kate? Wonder what shes up to nowerdays" You go home. You put Eurovision on. Kate:
