DREAMS DASHED

Darwin’s Jordan-Ravi knocked out of Eurovision

DARWIN’S Jordan- Ravi will not be Australia’s entrant in Eurovision 2020, after Montaigne convincingly won the Australia De

cides competition with her performance of Don’t Break

Me.

The Triple J regular won the jury vote with 54 points, ahead of Vanessa Amorosi’s

Lessons of Love with 42.

The public vote pushed her over the top to 107.

Casey Donovan won the public vote with 60 points to come second with her performance of Proud rewarded with one of the biggest ovations from more than 3500 fans in the Gold Coast convention and Exhibition Centre.

Jordan-Ravi came on second with his staging relying mostly on a stunning audiovisual display.

He was the only artist to get up close to the audience with a run of front row handslaps.

Amorosi was the front runner for her power pop song Lessons Of Love and dramatic staging to complement her epic voice.

Amorosi’s over-the-top concept for her performance also wowed the Australia Decides crowd at the non-televised jury show on Friday.
