Dialogue: 0,0:02:12.35,0:02:14.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we are aware of Electric Fields,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:14.41,0:02:17.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and in particular, \Nthe vocalist Zaachariaha,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:17.14,0:02:20.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who is an Indigenous artist, \Nnonbinary artist,

Dialogue: 0,0:02:22.70,0:02:26.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The charisma that exudes \Nwhen they're onstage
Dialogue: 0,0:02:26.67,0:02:29.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A really infectious stage presence.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:29.06,0:02:31.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the vocal is insane.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:31.07,0:02:34.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, we have heard the song \Nthey're submitting this year.

Dialogue: 0,0:02:38.73,0:02:41.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I know a lot of you guys \Nprefer a blind reaction,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:41.44,0:02:47.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but sometimes I think it is best \Nfor us to listen to a song a few times,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.37,0:02:49.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,do a little bit of research, \Nand just sit with it.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:49.92,0:02:54.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because my initial reaction to this \Nprobably wouldn't have been
Dialogue: 0,0:02:54.96,0:02:59.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as positive or as strong \Nas the feelings I have for it now.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:59.00,0:03:02.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Yes, and some of the songs \Nwe have reacted to blindly,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:02.08,0:03:03.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,some we've milled over for a while,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:03.88,0:03:07.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so throughout the whole playlist\Nof reaction videos for this year,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:07.58,0:03:09.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there's a bit of a mixed bag in there.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:09.64,0:03:12.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But we thought \N"2000 And Whatever" was sick,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:12.50,0:03:15.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think that would've been \Nan excellent entry for Australia.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:15.50,0:03:17.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Let's watch this one if you're ready to.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:17.47,0:03:18.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Yeah.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:18.17,0:03:21.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we'll talk about how we feel \Nlike this is gonna go for them.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:21.78,0:03:25.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So the song is called "One Milkali", \Nwhich translates to "one blood".
Dialogue: 0,0:03:25.80,0:03:29.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,♪ ("One Milkali" by Electric Fields) ♪\NI will say, straight off the bat,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:29.24,0:03:34.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that this is a "music video",\Nif you can call it that.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:34.91,0:03:36.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is a lyric video.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:36.42,0:03:38.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,- So interestingly, \N- Let's be real.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:38.38,0:03:40.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the Eurovision channel \Ncalled it "official video".
Dialogue: 0,0:03:40.99,0:03:43.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,On their channel, \Nit's called a lyric video.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:43.45,0:03:45.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Is it? Okay, interesting.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:45.99,0:03:47.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Hang on, let's just pause it.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:47.78,0:03:49.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I've said this before, though,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:49.46,0:03:53.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Eurovision has a way of defining \Nhow it uploads its videos,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:53.18,0:03:56.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,either as "Official Music Video" \Nor "National Final Performance".
Dialogue: 0,0:03:56.95,0:03:58.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They're very binary like that,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:58.88,0:04:00.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they don't come up \Nwith anything in between.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:00.99,0:04:03.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So they've called this \N"Official Music Video"
Dialogue: 0,0:04:03.14,0:04:05.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's not a music video!\NIt literally isn't.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:05.14,0:04:07.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They're just sitting there...\Nit's a lyric video.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:07.45,0:04:08.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Okay, okay.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:08.28,0:04:10.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So this doesn't give away\Nanything, does it?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:10.33,0:04:11.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Okay.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:11.06,0:04:12.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Okay so we've got--
Dialogue: 0,0:04:12.28,0:04:16.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is the bit where I feel like \Nit starts to get going.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:16.42,0:04:20.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There's literally a digeridoo in this, \Nwhich, I'm obsessed with that,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:20.52,0:04:22.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I love that element.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:24.82,0:04:26.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So it's very easy listening.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:28.15,0:04:31.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(both singing) Milkali la, milkali.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:33.36,0:04:38.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When I first saw this, \NI was a bit disappointed,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:38.10,0:04:41.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because again, we're provided \Nwith this visual which looks
Dialogue: 0,0:04:41.95,0:04:44.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,incredibly low-budget and very simple,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:44.33,0:04:47.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I was a bit disappointed with that.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:47.51,0:04:52.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I also didn't initially react very well \Nto the song, but now I think it's a vibe.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:53.24,0:04:56.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Yeah, I'm not in love with like, \Na message song.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:56.53,0:05:00.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They tend to be sometimes \Nvery kind of like, I don't know,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:00.40,0:05:03.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,feed the world, or save the Earth, \Nor we're all one voice, or whatever.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:03.96,0:05:07.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They tend to be sometimes, \Na little bit like, an eyeroll.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:07.50,0:05:12.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So the idea is like, we are one blood, \Nwe are one kind of like, human,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:12.65,0:05:15.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and therefore, \Nwe should celebrate our differences
Dialogue: 0,0:05:15.45,0:05:18.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,rather than be divisive about it.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:18.87,0:05:21.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, it's a very straightforward message.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:23.05,0:05:25.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I don't think they tend \Nto do very well at Eurovision though,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:25.96,0:05:29.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I feel like that's something \Nthat people are gonna resist about it.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:29.15,0:05:30.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I don't like the lyrics.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:30.89,0:05:34.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Some of the lyrics are a little... \Nperhaps a bit clunky.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:34.36,0:05:36.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I don't even know if it's clunky,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:36.39,0:05:40.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I just... maybe it's just me \Nbeing a miserable sod,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:40.46,0:05:46.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but it's kind of a bit too happy for me, \Nand I want a bit more of an edge to it.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:46.88,0:05:49.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And maybe the edge is that \Nthis is a queer couple
Dialogue: 0,0:05:49.28,0:05:51.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that's kind of lost on us, \Nbeing queer.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:51.74,0:05:53.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I don't know if they are a couple.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:53.85,0:05:55.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They just went in for a kiss.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:55.59,0:05:57.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So? I kiss Char all the time, \Nwhat's your point?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:57.93,0:05:59.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(laughs)
Dialogue: 0,0:06:00.32,0:06:01.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The thing is, okay-
Dialogue: 0,0:06:02.46,0:06:06.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The thing that disappoints me- \Nor, it's not even disappointing,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:06.01,0:06:11.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but knowing the performance that \NZaachariaha gives consistently onstage,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:11.73,0:06:13.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the vocal,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:13.18,0:06:16.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's difficult to know exactly \Nquite how impressive
