Ireland 2024: Bambie Thug - Doomsday Blue

[OutSynk]

She overcame the curse of number 2

 

[Havada Kedavra - I Hak to Destroy!]

I can't see this qualifying.

They got a chance!

 

[dUb]

SO FUCKING HAPPY OMG

 

[Lucille]

omg

 

[Dark Carnival]

Who won?

 

[Una Kratz per San Marino]

All that needs is some good old RTE production values!

 

[Havada Kedavra - I Hak to Destroy!]

The best part is we now have 4 more months of Thug Twitter tantrums

 

[Lucille]

Stop it.

 

[Lucille]

Stop it.

It’s like this whole thing has been a very elaborate plot of mine to troll dub.

The chorus is oddly lightweight and kills it somewhat, they need to do something to elevate it. Still, glad (and somewhat shocked) that Ireland took a risk and not a bland option

 

[Havada Kedavra - I Hak to Destroy!]

This is my favourite Eurosong selection of ALL TIME and according to someone on screen "the best selection they've had in 50 years!"

Next In Line would've won had it not been for the National Jury

Well we can look forward to what they have planned next

 

[Lucille]

Obsessed with this absolute NONSENSE And you just know she’s going to be EXCELLENT VALUE contestant!

A text message from Louis Walsh’s assistant advising them to TAKE A TEST I imagine.

I can absolutely see Green Room hysterics, Twitter meltdowns and rapid unfollowing of delegation colleagues if she doesn’t qualify.

 

[Havada Kedavra - I Hak to Destroy!]

I'm eagerly awaiting Thug's post win Tweet - Will it be about thanking Ireland for choosing her or about bashing the Wiwibloggs International jury for not wanting to send queer to The Eurovision?

 

[Lucille]

So excited to finally have a QUEER entry at Eurovision, I finally feel seen!

 

[Havada Kedavra - I Hak to Destroy!]

Thug winning reaction:

 

[Lucille]

She’s mothering I fear.

 

[Havada Kedavra - I Hak to Destroy!]

She’s mothering I fear.

I was thinking metamorphoring.

 

[OutSynk]

I believe Bambi uses they/them.

 

[Suomi]

Wow, this is incredible. I laughed, I cried, I stanned. Ireland have simultaneously created a talking point and found our new Samantha Mumba

 

[GNL]

I believe Bambi uses they/them.

They're parenting, I fear.

 

[Apoca]

The most unlistenable piece of Eurovision art since The Moon Is Rising.



DOUZE

 

[Finn]

Poor love talking about being non-binary in the VT, only for SONIA to call them she throughout the panel

The staging needs help because it's currently over choreographed and Bambie's dancing like a baddy in a comedy number in a regional pantomime, but I quite like it. If Ireland are going to crash out at the semis it's far better with THIS than Wild Youth's sparkly moose knuckle. And that happening feels like less of a done deal than in recent years?

 

[Lucille]

Sorry I skipped the VT as I couldn’t bear the cringe last night so missed the NON-BINARY REVEAL.

 

[Lucille]

 

[Suomi]

Parts of it remind me a lot of They’re Coming to Take Me Away

 

[Sheena]

GENUINELY APPALLING

 

[auretz]

I didn’t realise the lyrics include “avada kedavra”, I wonder what head TERF JK makes of non-binary people

 

[Havada Kedavra - I Hak to Destroy!]

When was the last time we were this excited about an Irish entry?

 

[AGinAg (39)]

It's ALL KINDS OF TERRIBLE but she's obviously deeply fascinating, so bravo Ireland for sending some mental shit.

[lolly smitten-downes]

WTF/10

BRAVA!

 

[Suomi]

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!

 

[Apoca]

Truly a Magnum Opus we haven't see for yours!

And yes, Magnum!

 

[Baby bypasanga]

Yes Ireland!

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

 

[Madisön]

It’s so strange looking forward to seeing an Irish entry.

(I expect its inclusion is intended to annoy JK Rowling, but I would still prefer them to drop the childish Harry Potter bits.)

 

[Una Kratz per San Marino]

GENUINELY APPALLING

It’s gob-smackingly bad
