Here is all you need to know about voting this year.
How and when to vote
Viewers’ votes and professional juries will determine the winners of the two semi-finals. Votes by the professional juries appointed by each of the 35 countries taking part in the contest will also play a key role in deciding the winner of the grand final along with viewers votes.
Vote during the LIVE early morning broadcasts on SBS and SBS On Demand.
Australian viewers will need to tune into the LIVE broadcast of Semi Final 2 on Friday 15 May at 5:00am AEST and the Grand Final on Sunday 17 May at 5:00am AEST and follow the voting prompts that appear on screen. For more information on how to vote please visit the official Eurovision Song Contest website here.
The Australian public and jury can vote for any country except Australia.
Viewers can cast their votes via the official Eurovision Song Contest website during the live Semi-Final 2 and Grand Final.

You can vote up to 10 times for the countries you want to vote for (Cost per Vote 0.70 AUD).
Broadcast information for US viewers. Looks like both Peacock and YouTube are taking the world feed.

And also allow YouTube as an alternative source for the first time since 2016.
According to Redditors, Peacock’s previous years were terrible, especially in terms of audio mixing. Then the advertising interruptions and all that.

It looks like Australia is one of the only countries that they havn’t released a short clip yet of the performance from rehearsals.
Hopefully leaving the best for last.

I think the song and from the teaser the performance will probably be a top 5 from the jury. But I don’t think the fans will give it votes. The goodwill towards 
from the viewers pretty much is non existent.
I think only Demi in 2017 & Kate in 2019 actually got 100+ points. Most of the others didn’t even manage to get 50 from televoting.

Truly an effort by the organisation’s English-language YT channel to just take the ORF feed verbatim without any subtitles, dubbing or anything of the sort.
And viewers noticed. Loads of them. In fact almost all of them.

So what’s your problem exactly? They can’t put something on YouTube in the language it was broadcast in?
