Ireland 2024: Bambie Thug - Doomsday Blue

[Sheena]

It’s gob-smackingly bad

Like A-level drama student doing interpretive dance bad.

 

[Soldi]

It’s ART!

 

[Suomi]

As I lay on the couch enjoying the recorded version of this, HSH walked past without even looking at me and went “very Ariel Burdett”

 

[Sheena]

It’s ART!

It’s SHIT!

 

[Madíson]

It’s entertaining shit.

 

[dUb]

Entertaining queer shit.

 

[Sheena]

It’s entertaining shit.

True

 

[VoR]

Entertaining queer sex bitch aristo punk lezzy slut whore shit.

...but with lovely shoes.

 

[Apoca]

It needs a bit a work between now and May, but surely its got a shot at qualifying?

Like our SAM TEEN did

 

[GinAg (39)]

She's obviously a Eurovision and cultural icon, even if the song sounds like 9/11 in every conceivable way.

 

[SystemAddict]

It’s a striking objet d’fart.

 

[Lucille]

My waters are telling me this is going to be a particularly MESSY and CHAOTIC Eurovision. Thank God the Swedes are in charge to keep some sort of order.

 

[Hak]

For me, genuinely appalling is reserved for a song like the second-placer:

Very much the antithesis of the winner - boring, uninspired, calculating. Thank GOD we dodged that bullet!

Indeed, a total void of personality and soul.
Of this uninspired bunch the bricklayer actually exudes some semblance charisma, the others should already consider exploring alternative employment options.

I wonder how the lads felt when the panel went in for their hatchet job on them.

 

[Penelope]

Absolutely unlistenable. 10/10 MILLSTREET 2025

 

[Rowan Tree 🌳]

Does this stand a chance at winning it all eurofans?

 

[Soldi]

Does this stand a chance at winning it all eurofans?

It’ll be a fan fave but it’ll be lucky to escape the semi if it’s performed like it was last night.

 

[Lucille]

If 36 other entrants unexpectedly die then yes.

 

[Penelope]

It’ll be a fan fave but it’ll be lucky to escape the semi if it’s performed like it was last night.

Hardly!

 

[Penelope]

There's a world where this wins but I suspect the most likely outcome is a top 10 televote and god knows what from the juries.

 

[VoR]

Debuts at #28 on Irish Spotify. When was the last time an Irish entry made any impact whatsoever there?

 

[Apoca]

Well, they ARE a witch.

 

[Tisch]

Couldn't get through the first airing of this, but tbh playing it for the in-laws probably wasn't the BEST method for the first listen-party.

I'm all for the fact that they're clearly an ICON and the MOMENT and I love a bit of noize given the right circumstances but can someone please explain why the live perf seems to actually have no music or singing please? I genuinely thought it was one of those YouTubes where the music's been removed for copyright reasons.

 

[OutSynk]

Revisiting this today. SO good.

They said “I see what I want and I get it” and they DID.

 

[GNL]

It’s gob-smackingly bad

It’s SHIT!

can someone please explain why the live perf seems to actually have no music or singing please?

 

[Sheena]

Oh no, not the HAUS OF THUG

Totally using that next time I get a negative performance review at work.

 

[Sheena]

Oh no, not the HAUS OF VOR

 

[lolly]

If only I'd read that 36 years ago when I failed my Art O-Level

 

[Apoca]

Haus of Thug (Gets 2% thuggier everytime they say QUEER)

 

[Kratz]

They are going to be slowly hoisted by their own petard if they dismiss criticism of the (awful) song as bigotry against themselves or the venerable HAUS.

Sending you the warm gold energy of KINDNESS.

 

[Apoca]

Not everyone can CONJURE UP songs without hooks and melodies out of thin air and package it as ART.

And on the evidence I’ve seen so far, NEITHER CAN THEY!

 

[dUb]

Lisa gets it

 

[VoR]

 

[Dark Carnival]

How many songs are even out for a semifinal to already be insane?

 

[Dark Carnival]

DEATHIEST SEMI-FINAL EVER

 

[VoR]

If you have 42 minutes to spare he does explain it all here. I enjoy these videos, geeky as hell but I’ve never claimed to be above that.

He’s one of the worst of these YouTube reactors so I probably couldn’t last 42 seconds.
