Behind The Scenes Of The Eurovision Decider Show With Jaguar Jonze

From pre-show stretches to dislocated shoulders...

Hello! I’m Jaguar Jonze and I was one of the 10 artists selected in Eurovision: Australia Decides this year. This is me wearing @strateascarlucci to roam around backstage.

I’m taking you BTS of the Eurovision decider and the three days of preparation for the live final that happened on Saturday night. Here’s me in hair and makeup.

Pre-show stretches are always better with good company like Montaigne (who won the decider and is heading to the Eurovision Song Contest in May – congrats girl).

Waiting in the green room they call ‘The Bubble’ with the Triple J indies – Didirri and Montaigne. So proud.

I always zone out for a moment before jumping on stage. Here, I run through lyrics, feelings or do vocal warmups!

Seeing my imagination and designs come to life all together like this has been a real dream come true. See why pre-show stretching is important – haha. I dislocated my left shoulder on live TV at this specific moment in the first bloody verse. Classic me.

This looks like a ninja run but with all the beautiful hair, clothes, make up, shoes, my band, the set and the lighting… Why wouldn’t you start getting over-excited and sprinting towards the crowd?
