[4] Denis Handlin, AM Chairman and CEO of Sony Music Entertainment said "At only 17, it's a truly remarkable achievement for Isaiah to be representing Australia in Eurovision this year and I am very proud that he has been given this opportunity to showcase his immense talent on this global stage.

"[4] SBS Managing Director Michael Ebeid described Firebrace as an "immense talent" who "beautifully embodies the Australian spirit with his passion, hard work and humility.

It showcases Firebrace's excellent vocal range, and is a great example of how much passion and emotion can be felt when listening to him sing... 'Don’t Come Easy' seems like the perfect way to catapult Australia to go one better and become champions of Europe.

I'm not sure how it will fare amid the general corniness and cheese of Eurovision, but it's a great song that wouldn't sound out of place on a Sam Smith album.

"[10] Chris Zeiher from Special Broadcasting Service described the song as "a deliciously slick and contemporary ballad that does not stray too far from the formula that brought Dami Im success last year and suits Isaiah's voice perfectly.
