I think it's beautiful. I've listened to it without the visuals and it's powerful. Great hook too. Loving the reaction from the rest of Europe to a young Irish talent. Hope it at least gets us back in the final ❤😊
What an amazing performance!!.......Bambie Thug was not the favourite to win Eurosong Ireland but she blew away the competition on the night......Looking forward to Bambie Thug doing the same in Malmo!!......could be the dark horse of Eurovision 2024!!
I love it. I’m Irish so I don’t know if I’m being biased. The potential to do well is massive. All the possibilities with staging is exciting. I have no doubt that the staging will be brilliant, and obviously Bambie is a great performer . I am very hopeful this year 🤞
Bambie Thug is a brilliant performer with many brilliant songs and incredible videos ,check out "Tsunami" "Love Bites" her live sessions at the BBC, and much more on TH-cam, she's a bit of creative visionary in my opinion. I feel like I dreamed of the name "Bambie Thug" before they were revealed to me on Eurosong 2024 in such an unexpected way like all epiphanies out of the blue💙, Doomsday 💙blue. Check her out she's so so great 🫶
This is my interpretation fwiw Avada Kedavra isn't just a Harry Potter kill spell it's an old Aramaic expression meaning I will destroy as I speak. And as a non binary they are very aware of the power of words. Accepting someone else's preference for a star over a moon but at the same time believing that that person is living a lie and may have a predisposition which is more real and that they have a false consciousness. To me it's similar to Freddie Mercury when he sang Mama I just killed a man where it's generally accepted the man he killed was his heterosexual identity.
Some country had the audacity to challenge us, so Ireland decided we want our crown back. You are both wonderful. Norway is a rich country by the way of oil
Sadly the go Tobann staging/performace was a bit of a car crash though I do hope Ailsha trys again . The best performance on the night by a mile won . Go Bambi !! 👍👍
I think the live performance didn't do justice to what the song is in the studio or on platforms, both samples are a totally different experience. Despite this, I love a super alternative proposal that is out of the ordinary, that brings musical changes and guides me through a super satanic dark world. PLEASE PLEASE I recommend to everyone to heart the song on streaming, you might get enchanted by Bambies creativity. It is definitely my favorite this year, after having already heard several proposals from other countries. I am pleading for the staging for Eurovision to improve much more, and that this time they are giving you to prepare is well spent; because a performance like this can be unforgettable for Eurofans around the world. My douze points for bambie!!!!!
the whole cetic/nordic vibe will pull in votes from the scandanavian countries perhaps but other than that it will struggle which is a pity as it is compelling & unusual piece of art.
I see your point. Unfortunately under 30% of people possesses genuine creativity, so a hypercreative like Bambie will never be mainstream, but still, being exposed in Eurovision is a big step in the right direction!
Dia dhuit as Éireann 🇮🇪 Hello from Ireland, I’m so excited to see what they do with this on the big stage , I love all the ancient Irish Ogham symbols on the screen in the background. The first Irish alphabet . It’s dark and scary but basically a broken heart angry and hurt .
Just a heads up: Bambie uses they/them pronouns 😊 I agree with you, it's so dynamic and cool! We've never seen anything like this from Ireland or really anyone in ESC before
Hey guys! Thank you for your reactions to our Eurosong 2024. Can I advise you of the following: 1) The flag that you showed on screen at the start was NOT from Ireland, but the Ivory Coast (The Irish flag is GREEN WHITE AND ORANGE) Just the reverse of what you showed. 2) You had way too much reverb on the vocal at the start of the preview video. There is no need to use ANY reverb or audio processing Let the original broadcast, as shown by our roadcaster RTÉ go out with NO REVERB. No reverb at all, please. Thanks for the positive comments!
Hate to spoil the vibe, but many in Ireland dont rate this as a good song, and are even baffled by it, but it seems mostly a Eurovision Stage Conest anyway these days, melodies almost irrelevant. so if that's what important I guess it will fit right in. But I miss the days when the actual song mattered. Don't hate me for my opinion!
I love Bambie Thug's metaphor in the song of using words to destroy. Avada Kedavra,Bambie. Predisposition over preference over prejudice. And hopefully some perspective We're all living a lie to some extent so let none of us claim ownership of the whole truth. And that's why when given the choice of being kind or being right choose kindness. It has a longer shelf life.
Good point. However some comments dismiss former Irish entries, saying finally a good song etc, as if all previous songs were not up to it. Its down to personal taste, and no one is right or wrong.
@@jamesfitzpatrick6100 you too James. My mum bought me a t-shirt as a child which said " Once I thought I was wrong but I was mistaken." Sometimes I feel like I haven't outgrown it yet. As far as people being dismissive of songs I remind myself that even a cup of tea isn't everyone's cup of tea. iykwim
Thanks for sharing you opinion with us, and I’m sorry we came across that way to you. I can understand your point of view, and really appreciate that you point it out, that is of much help to us. If you see our orher reactions you might understand that that’s not the case, we strive to be honest and authentic and we don’t like everything we watch- Even though there usually is good reasons why songs have been chosen and one can find elements one can appreciate in each contribution. But in this case, we Are honestly 100% liking everything about this performance and Are now obsessed with Bambie Thig! Who is your favourite this year so far?☺️
As a part of the Gothic scene I have to love this and to celebrate all night long, because Bambie Thug is giving us alternative people a voice and is speaking out for those who are different - not only in their musical tastes, but also in their worldviews and lifestyles. "Doomsday Blue" as a composition already delivers everything a lover of dark, enigmatic and slightly progressive music could ever dream of: The fusion of mesmerizing genres that originally shouldn't fit together but create a perfect mélange in these three minutes of the most beautiful fever dream, screams that are piercing marrow and bone, clean vocals that will haunt me at day and night even decades after Eurovision 2024, pulsating electronica that almost sound like they're emerging from a demonic realm, and a grand finale smashing the earth with heaviness and high energy!🖤⛧✨️🌙 # sendthewitch was successful , and I'm being honest when I say that I was bursting into tears when the results came in! Eurovision definitely needs diversity and outstanding acts, not only mainstream pop, and here we have some of the most special and profound art, evoked by an insanely creative, impressively passionate and instantly touching human being. Bambie was touching my soul through the screen, even in all the interviews - but the performance exceeded my expectations even on this small national final stage. Just imagine how this will look like on the big stage!🔥 I couldn't be happier: Not only to be represented and to have a voice I can wholeheartedly identify with at Eurovision, but also because Bambie deserves it. Everyone saw how well-deserved this victory was: On stage and off stage. The crowd was on fire for "Doomsday Blue"! And if I say that this is one of my happiest days in life, I don't exaggerate. This is not just another Eurovision act for me, this is an act that is expressing who I am. Bambie, CAST THE SPELL OVER MALMÖ!🖤✨️🌙⛧
What a wonderful wholehearted response .it chimes with a lot of what I felt about them myself. Check out her wonderful music and extraordinary videos on TH-cam. ( The BBC live session ( "Necromancy" especially!!) shows what a fabulous vocalist Bambie Thug is) Enjoy and relish the creative visionary if you're not already hooked. I think if people saw their back catalogue of brilliance between now and the ESC that winning could be a real possibility,cos Bambie Thug's iconic creativity deserves to be witnessed by as many people as possible. Spread the word 🌹💕🔥👑💙❣️💙👑💕🫶🕊️
Can you imagine this on a huge Eurovision stage? It has the potential to be EPIC.
Narrator: Little did they know
The fast shutter speed and show was epic
I think it's beautiful. I've listened to it without the visuals and it's powerful. Great hook too. Loving the reaction from the rest of Europe to a young Irish talent. Hope it at least gets us back in the final ❤😊
Genuinely getting goosebumps watching reactions to this song, EASILY the best thing Ireland has sent in years haha, can't wait!
Going to be huge on the European stage if the reaction is anything to go by.
Good honest review....
BTW flag you guys show is Ivory Coast🇨🇮, not Ireland🇮🇪
haha, omg, thank you! I had a wierd feeling about it.. now it makes sense. Sorry..
Indian flag is similar too 😅😅
Bambie Thug will win the Eurovision mug the song is Spellbinding
👁👁👁👁👁👁👁👁👁👁👁👁👁
Fingers crossed!
And love to hear it!
And same here🙌🏼😅
Masterpiece
This is exactly what Ireland needed to do to qualify for the final and possibly win the whole competition,a masterpiece indeed 💚🍀✅
Agreed!!
What an amazing performance!!.......Bambie Thug was not the favourite to win Eurosong Ireland but she blew away the competition on the night......Looking forward to Bambie Thug doing the same in Malmo!!......could be the dark horse of Eurovision 2024!!
lets hope she wears a keffiyah ... or goes further.
IThis is my first time watching it. i need to see it again., because I am a bit confused. Is this a song or a performance?
@@th5841 Why not both? 😁
I love it. I’m Irish so I don’t know if I’m being biased. The potential to do well is massive. All the possibilities with staging is exciting. I have no doubt that the staging will be brilliant, and obviously Bambie is a great performer .
I am very hopeful this year 🤞
Love it, all of it, awesome voice, great transitions, wonderful presence, impactful, for me it just got better with every listen
It’s nice to see that my country has finally caught up with Eurovision in the 21st Century. 👏🇮🇪
no it hasn't, Ireland are throwing darts because they have no idea
@@aaljan2339 yes it has. This is thinking outside the box.
@stephenmurphy2212 Ignore that person. They are just been hateful to every comment. What a sad person really.
Unfair- people dont have to agree; just because you like it, many don't and are entitled to say so surely.
Can people not just be allowed play darts without being ridiculed?
this is such a chill reaction, love it, i subscribed.
Ireland well done amazingggggg Bambi is an amazing performer
Top 5 in the final🎉
Cross between Lady GaGa and Wanda the Witch. Fabulous😃

Thanks for your positive energy girls.
Winner winner seitan dinner.
It's like watching a musical
True!
They’ve been my favourite since the start but I had no expectations they’d win omfg I was screaming 😭 btw their pronouns are they/them
She (singular) is great!
@@thebuzz2010🙄 They use different pronouns. Educate yourself ("yourself" is also a pronoun)
@@thebuzz2010They use pronouns they. Show some respect
This is my interpretation fwiw
Avada Kedavra isn't just a Harry Potter kill spell it's an old Aramaic expression meaning I will destroy as I speak. And as a non binary they are very aware of the power of words.

I think she will be a big 🌟 🇮🇪
Us too! For sure
Pure art! Go for it Bambi.
Agreed!
You love it ❤
We do!
Looooove this song!!! So much potential and this song could have been a disaster on live but it was low key magnificent
brilliant...creative...and on the BIG stage...
Bambie Thug for the win!!!!
Brilliant, love it ❤ Bambi Thug is so talented 🎊 🎉🥂
Im Irish, so a little bias, i think its refreshing, different, amazing and hope it doe's well for us
Well done for having this as your selection. Look forward to seeing this on a larger stage!
It won't
It will
The public voted for it.... So it could do well.
The public voted for Wild Youth last year, and they didn't make it past the semi final
"What haven't we seen in this performance"
*guttural screaming*
I spoke too soon
Some country had the audacity to challenge us, so Ireland decided we want our crown back. You are both wonderful. Norway is a rich country by the way of oil
😮This was something,i must listen to this some more before i get use to the song,but i agree that it was a great performance🤩👍
Guau, que guay. Me encanta. ¡Que celta!
Top 10 in the final.
Hadde såååå håpet på Go Tobann....love it !❤❤❤ men tror Doomsday blue kan gjøre det så bra , dritkul synes jeg ❤❤
Sadly the go Tobann staging/performace was a bit of a car crash though I do hope Ailsha trys again .
The best performance on the night by a mile won . Go Bambi !! 👍👍

Dia dhuit as Éireann 🇮🇪 Hello from Ireland, I’m so excited to see what they do with this on the big stage , I love all the ancient Irish Ogham symbols on the screen in the background. The first Irish alphabet . It’s dark and scary but basically a broken heart angry and hurt .
They're Runes, not Ogham.
They are’s Ogham letters .
@@pilibodonnchu3196 Ogham is written with short lines marked on a vertical axis; those are definitely Norse Runic symbols in the background.
Hard perform
Watch the official video.
We have😍🙌🏼
Just a heads up: Bambie uses they/them pronouns 😊 I agree with you, it's so dynamic and cool! We've never seen anything like this from Ireland or really anyone in ESC before
Who gives a toss tbh
All the blue hairers coming out. Most people could nor give a tuppence about they them this that or the other

It looks like you have got bewitched. Especially the blond. Agree, very strong impression.
Haha, we did✨ and we have been in love with them ever since
great video but youve used the Ivory Coast flag at the start not the Irish Flag
Thank you and I’m genuinely sorry about the mistake😭💔
Great reaction
Just to let you know, Bambie Thug uses They/Them pronouns
Thanks for enlightening us! Really appreciate it🙏🏼❤️
Call me old fashioned but I'm lost for words to explain or understand the fascination with this entry. It's garbage.
It's a fear point of view. I guess this song is one you either get or don't in a sense. Thanks for sharing your opinion!
