Her song Speak Up scored 172 points at the Tbilisi Sports Palace, behind Russia and Georgia.
Australia also ranked third in the televoting won by The Netherlands pint-sized boyband.
“We congratulate Isabella on her extraordinary achievement – she should be extremely proud of her performance and her outstanding result,” says Michael Carrington, Head of ABC Children’s Television. “Up against some amazing competitors, she delivered a spectacular performance. We thank all the Australians who supported Isabella by voting online, and we wish Isabella all the best for her future singing endeavours.”

It is a big stage to perform on, and we are of course especially proud of Isabella coming 3rd. Her energy, focus and amazing vocals really made an impact with the audience. Congratulations also to her three backing vocalists who travelled from Melbourne to support her, Mia Papazis, Tiana Carbone and Jessie Eilers.”
