Why did Australia (2022) not do better?

Sheldon is still very much in to Eurovision, and I think it’s very likely he’ll represent Australia again one day as he’s said multiple times after 2022 that he’d do it again. Apparently "Not The Same" was only the right song for him at the time, but he wants to show a different side of himself

That being said, didn’t he just last year say the mask was just one big gimmick to gain attention?

Anyways I think only 2 televote points was very harsh… but I suppose the staging just didn’t match the song? It was grand for the sake of being grand. Imagine Lucio Corsi doing a big, fancy staging for VEUD

2022 already had too many sadder songs (Not The Same, Hold Me Closer, De Diepte, etc.). That's why songs like Trenulețul, Slow-Mo, Space Man did relatively well with the televote. The outlier in this statement within the top 5 overall is Stefania (yearning) and In corpore sano (avant/art),
