Bambie Thug has a tattoo of an inverted pentagram on their right hand. This symbol is often associated with Satanism and forms part of the sigil of Baphomet - one of the main symbols of the Church of Satan.
The balance between hard and eerie and soft and romantic, the staging, the performance, THE VOCALS, the emotion. This is the best thig I have seen maybe ever. I keep listening to it over and over again and it brings a smile to my face. Art at its finest. Such a shame people can't see past the costume and "demonic image" and feel with their hearts. I WILL BE VOTING
Am i the only one who thinks, that this is just straight up incredible? Noone expected this, it has actually a very good harmony to it, making you feel different emotions in different passages, and the use of the stage was next level.
This semi-final version is even better than the performance in the final. Here you can feel that "first time" energy, throwing everything into it to qualify. The acting of the performance here is another level up. There are small details that elevate it, such as a few times they "yelp" during instrumental sections, and this adds to it - I wonder if they are doing this spontaneously, without even realising, because these yelps aren't there in the same places in the final. Also when the two of them are chasing each other around the stage before the ending scream section, the way they are running backwards and the camera edits with it, it works here in a way that it doesn't in the final - the vibe captured from that movement/moment here really adds to the creepiness, and the impact of the ending scream when it arrives. Overall, this semi-final version is the killer. I wish I could watch it for the first time, again...... unbelievable. This should change the entire contest forever.
I literally felt the same! Also thought maybe their performance in the finals was affected by the drama and that they might had less will or were distracted. Anyways the semi final performance is top tier!
This semi final performance is the one I keep returning to, yes. I haven’t rewatched the final yet. Not that it was bad by any means, but this one was just so perfect. I am glad that this was the one we saw first, for maximum effect. For weeks, my big question had been: will I vote for Greece or Italy in the final, but this made it easy 😁👌🏾🇮🇪
@@AslanAlmukhambetov Is Doomsday Blue metal though? Unless it's some borderline metal subgenre I don't know about, because if I'm not mistaken Bambie described it as ouija-pop, whatever that is xD I think it mixes genres so well that we can only call it a masterpiece.
@@lenudnir163 that's the funny thing about it, Bambie Thug sounds more metal while not being actual metal.

the fact your teacher calls Ireland 'very catholic' in this present day with reference I assume to the bigoted Spirit fm etc and others on tv, is worrying. thats a sign of a person determined to push it on others.

@@llamaknight many people in Ireland who enter teaching in order to do religion unfortunately do not have your best interests at heart. I've nothing against him/her, but I was indoctrinated and unless your parents are from another religion or none you probably were too.

That's harmful and pushing an agenda. My point was the comment 😒 this teacher made was dumb and untrue, and also regressive. I'm not your bro
I still can't believe how well this song translated to the stage... the studio version was nothing that got my interest. but this... literally *chef's kiss*
@@youxtuberz5229 mercy on people who recognize the amount of effort and quality of work that went into a piece of art? I'm pretty sure Jesus will be fine with us.
I listened to the studio version after hearing the live version, and while I still enjoy the former, I absolutely prefer the latter. Not because its live, but because the screaming is absent from the studio version.
This is the most insane entry in Eurovision ever. I get metal, dark and creepy aethetics, goths, screaming yeah it's all fun ang games, but actual and real pagan and witchcraft symbols? Delivered flawlessly without giving 2 fûçks? On tv??? Nah they're fearless
Actual representation of pagan and witchcraft, not demonic christian, is still fairly uncommon but it's showing up more. That said im surprised and touched to see not only pagan witchcraft, but also non binary to make it all the way to the finals.
people think some tree like, animal like horns and makeup, and sharp teeth and a pentagon is Satan on earth lol - but apparently for Judaism, Satan isn't a deity, but anyone their enemy, and this woman does go against their grain. So it isn't so much what she looks like for them, as it is her support for the people that their enemies govern.
@Hozzizay I mean let's be fair here. Christians modeled Satan after their practices and deities of worship. Can't we spare some compassion for the people who introduced a model of evil to their religion that completely encompasses someone else's culture!
@kylemylo3776 The dance the costume!! mate ;p it was the best thing i saw LIVE!! and i will say it again LIVE!! they did so good job, and i dont speak about the song cause everyone got their taste on music but this LIVE performance its realy good!! the dance everything....

This is next level. Stands out from all that I've seen in Eurovision. Cool coreography, costume design, stage effects, dancing elements, the sudden switch between musical styles. It's a bizarre mixture, but it's also very rememberable. Even though they didn't won, I get back to it from time to time. Congrats guys! It's hard to make something unique nowadays.
evenn as an Irish guy, the final moments where the camera pulls back to show them, is one of the most striking and shocking images from the last decade of Eurovision. Its scary, exciting and beautiful. Avada Cadabra!!! thank u so much Europe
@@Sianaheart not planning on crying, cause we've seen this before when a song had a lot of views on TH-cam but ended up not even getting into the top 5 in the Finals. So chill out 😉
"She really scared me!! but what a voice and what a show. In my opinion she's not just a singer but a real artist! She did everything Well done Bambie. Love you from Tunisia
Define normal. To me, a "normal" song, as you ay, it's a quite boring one, We have seen that hundreds of times in Eurovision. It's time to go forward, not backwards.
Damn, that was so f*ing incredible. Totally unexpected. Definitely of the best performances ever on Eurovision and one that will remember for long. Ireland is back in the game. 12 points tonight. Well done. Ireland and Bambie Thug, YOU DID IT. This was such a moment. Love love love 🇵🇹💞🇮🇪
Can we all appreciate how good their vocals actually are? This might be overshadowed by the stellar staging, but they have this retro sound to their voice (when not screaming)
So for instance you are saying just because logan paul song is extremely bad its actually good,make it make sense.That quote cant apply to everything,sure this is jaw dropping but in bad way and thats nothing to be proud of.
And to think Ireland almost sent another Louis Walsh Boy Band through. So glad the national jury saw sense. Go Bambie. All the best from your fellow Celts here in Wales xx
@@Ubbe_lito Oh Dear!!!!! LOL. My opinion is, that Bambie had to qualify last night to remove the "Boyband" curse which has hung like a noose around Ireland's neck.
This is without a doubt the biggest glow up. I always thought the song would qualify in an all televote semi, but the staging and performance has made it a strong top 5 contender for Saturday.
Its like Ireland gave up on winning, stopped giving a damn about mass appeal and put their full focus into sheer creativity and expression. Probably wont win but I respect the balls out of it and will remember for a while.
Love at the end she said "Go Raibh Mile Maith Agat" Which is Irish(Gaelic) for thank you very much. We lost the use of our language many years ago but its so nice for it still to be used.
Thsnkfully with the resurgence of Gaelscoils it is making a huge comeback. Mine all wemt to gaelscoils both primary and secondary and they are all fluent Irish speakers and have carried through to adulthood ❤❤❤
Actually that's not what they said, I've watched it a few times. I think they say "Go Raibh Míle GUTH Agat" so "May you have a thousand voices" rather than "thank you"
This is one of the best performances in Eurovision history and will be remembered forever, congrats Ireland, she was the right choice. Also good choice with the Spanish stage director, good luck from Spain, this deserves top 5.
As a performance act/ stage show yes, but not as a song/vocals. Did she sing live at all? I wish they had to have the backimg singers live on stage ,so we could see who can sing or not. So many of them uses a lot of prerecorded backing vocals so that they almost dont have to sing live anymore. The reason they made the song like two different ones, with some sort of cabaret chorus , is obviously to make it approachable for the viewers…so how authentic is it?
@@In_my_own_mind Yes she did sound very good actually, showing very different registers of voice wjhile being on point in all of them, you can spot a couple of shaky moments due to the amount of movement, but being a good performer is not just about being the biggest voice, she was expressing with her whole body, with her face and she sounded good and in tune, she was fantastic.
Just wanted to say Bambie identifies as non-binary, and goes by they :) Totally agreed though, the huge staging potential this song had has definitely been justified!!!
The more I listen to this song, and watch the live performance, the more I come to think this is of a high artistic value. Very well prepared down to the detail, different, well performed. It will maintain its appeal, unlike many other eurovision songs.
Listening to the studio version was amazing, but this song was meant to be played live. The intense instruments mixed with the screams and cheers of the crowd is bone chilling. You got this Bambi!!! 🎉🎉
@@ikigaiikigai6657 Every year there are scores of you pearl-clutchers bemoaning performance art like there's an actual monster nipping at your heels. Hope you find peace.
@@viennagirl9335I mean considering the song itself has very good sound design and is well put together, and the performance is clearly very high effort and visually engaging, yeah I’d call it art What’s not artful about it? Is it that it’s unsettling? That’s kind of the point, it’s trying to make you feel that way and it’s evidently done a perfect job regardless of whether you actually like it or not
@@Adri07813 the outfit is depicting the trans flag, which fits the song as it was also an outcast of the story of finding themselves, coming out as non-binary and just trying to feel accepted by both the outside side and themselves
@@therelaxcentral Bambie certainly doesn’t do this just “to be edgy”. They have an insanely good perception of art, and this shows it in its truest form.
This is such a powerful performance. It's so cinematic, there's so much energy, it's like a Celtic horror musical movie. The crown of fire rising up, the monster taking life, the lighting mimicking lightning in an invocation ritual. Really shocking, in the greatest way!
Yep, Im not excited about the song except for the metal part at the end but HUGE respect to Ireland for making this super engaging and cinematic. Not one camera angle was wasted🎉
Honestly the TV production of that performance is totally madness. Doing that live with those so precise shots. This is art and cinema ! Considering the show is 2h30 long, the fact they allow contestants to have that much ambition in their staging is totally crazy. This is also thanks to that stage which is allowing that because it has been very well designed. Well done to everyone working on the show !
Swedish production, just send them your idea and they will make it true. That's why Melodifestivalen is the biggest preselection of Eurovision taking place over a six-week period evey week in a different city in Sweden, they know how to do a great tv show.
Yes I'm glad someone noticed that, everything is so cinematic...props to the camera men too! This is better than the music video and also I like how they added more power to the song, there's elements here that aren't in the studio version
For those wondering, the staging was done by Sergio Jaén, a very talented 22-year-old Spanish art director. In an interview with Eurovisionspain, he explained that RTÉ contacted him to produce the Doomsday Blue music video in just five days and, seeing that they had no one to do the staging, he presented them with a project that ended up materialising in this performance.
The stand out performance from semi final 1 without question. The originality and staging are pure genius. Europe vote for this performance art. Never seen anything in Eurovision as innovative and just mesmerising. No1 to ireland. A huge contender to win outright definitely❤
I notice new details every time I watch it. Here are my interpretations: 0:29 At first, Witch wants the Beast so much that "revives" him. But it's the idea of him. 0:42 It's a fantasy, he is not actually there as we can learn from the lyrics. 0:58 Returns to the real world from the dream. Angle looks like waking up from sleep, getting up from bed. Also the Witch is MAD realizing it's a dream. 1:05 Actually casts the spell this time. 1:12 Right after casting it, we see the Beast affected by the spell. 1:21 The ritual part. The witch has him caged. 1:34 Fantasy starts again, but this time the Beast is in control, and drops the Witch on the floor. Because reality does not match the fantasy at all. They're not good together. 1:57 Witch wants to leave, reaching for us, towards the camera. But the Beast has a strong hold. 2:00 He does something awful, exposes the Witch to the world without any consent. 2:05 (For your romance I'd beg, steal and borrow, It's draining me hollow) Also in this part the Beast is completely in charge, he has the power and uses everything for exploitation, that's not love at all. 2:20 Again, tries to reach to us but the Beast manhandles this time. Escape is impossible. 2:33 THAT MOMENT WHEN THE WITCH FINDS THE STRENGTH TO BREAK THE SHACKES (goosebumps) 2:43 That swine is still chasing the Witch. 2:51 And he meets his end :) Edit: JESUS I cannot believe I'm noticing new details. At the very very end, as it writes CROWN THE WITCH, the raising candles stop and it looks like the Witch's Crown... This is a ritual on stage to win the Eurovision, fingers crossed :D It's actually a pretty good story, this is theatre, this is art, song is amazingly harmonized with harsh and sweet vocals. thanks for reading, VOTE IRELAND 🇮🇪 LOVE FROM TURKEY 🇹🇷
YES AMAZING BREAKDOWN. Like this story is told all through dance, camerawork, performance and then connection to the lyrics. I'm sorry but if the Jury don't throw points at this in the final I question their profession.
If the jury gives them even average points, I think Ireland will win nevertheless. Compared to the bombom shakalaka mess with no vocal performance I think this one is the favorite. Dark horse!
@@metacopy I think they're storming the televote for sure. Maybe second or third to Croatia or Netherlands. (Just assuming) And then they'll get more jury points than those I bet, so DEFINITE dark horse

Also my teacher was great she was a history and religious studies teacher and she sometimes mentioned random facts about Ireland like the TV channel
@@llamaknight many people in Ireland who enter teaching in order to do religion unfortunately do not have your best interests at heart. I've nothing against him/her, but I was indoctrinated and unless your parents are from another religion or none you probably were too. It's like with a gaa player who went viral for mentioning 'girlfriends and boyfriends' as supports for them for some big win and then it emerged that he called gay relationships warped and other things in the classroom as a maths and religion teacher. That's harmful and pushing an agenda. My point was the comment 😒 this teacher made was dumb and untrue, and also regressive. I'm not your bro
It's a song nota culture
I still can't believe how well this song translated to the stage... the studio version was nothing that got my interest. but this... literally *chef's kiss*
Yes!!
Same, it was absolutely the best last night, and before that I didn't care about this song. Staging is crucial.
How well...?
Oh dear God. Lord Jesus have mercy on these people..
@@youxtuberz5229 mercy on people who recognize the amount of effort and quality of work that went into a piece of art? I'm pretty sure Jesus will be fine with us.
I listened to the studio version after hearing the live version, and while I still enjoy the former, I absolutely prefer the latter.
Not because its live, but because the screaming is absent from the studio version.
This is the most insane entry in Eurovision ever. I get metal, dark and creepy aethetics, goths, screaming yeah it's all fun ang games, but actual and real pagan and witchcraft symbols? Delivered flawlessly without giving 2 fûçks? On tv??? Nah they're fearless
Wow so fearless to do something that is being promoted everywhere on TV
Actual representation of pagan and witchcraft, not demonic christian, is still fairly uncommon but it's showing up more. That said im surprised and touched to see not only pagan witchcraft, but also non binary to make it all the way to the finals.
people think some tree like, animal like horns and makeup, and sharp teeth and a pentagon is Satan on earth lol - but apparently for Judaism, Satan isn't a deity, but anyone their enemy, and this woman does go against their grain. So it isn't so much what she looks like for them, as it is her support for the people that their enemies govern.
@@Hozzizay if u think this isnt creepy and demonic and weird you need to look a bit more into it and wake up . Evil is being promoted into the masses
@Hozzizay I mean let's be fair here.
Christians modeled Satan after their practices and deities of worship. Can't we spare some compassion for the people who introduced a model of evil to their religion that completely encompasses someone else's culture!
Might be the best choreography and cinematography I've ever seen in ESC performance
agree with you, it made a new level of performance!
On par with Lordi from Finland
It was basically a horror movie live on stage… I‘m still speechless.

Everything was amazing to be honest from start to end.

This has become a potential winner now I think! The performance was EPIC to say the least.
One of the best performances I've ever seen. Goosebumps every time!
Its like Ireland gave up on winning, stopped giving a damn about mass appeal and put their full focus into sheer creativity and expression. Probably wont win but I respect the balls out of it and will remember for a while.
We gave up on winning because the block voting,
Sending the rubbish songs for many years before this one was giving up on winning. This is a step on the journey to getting back to winning ways.
They didnt give up on winning they just finally realised that they need to start taking risks rather than going with the safest option in the room
Why not? Let's make them a winner
This is one of the favourites to win btw
Love at the end she said "Go Raibh Mile Maith Agat" Which is Irish(Gaelic) for thank you very much. We lost the use of our language many years ago but its so nice for it still to be used.
Thsnkfully with the resurgence of Gaelscoils it is making a huge comeback. Mine all wemt to gaelscoils both primary and secondary and they are all fluent Irish speakers and have carried through to adulthood ❤❤❤
Actually that's not what they said, I've watched it a few times. I think they say "Go Raibh Míle GUTH Agat" so "May you have a thousand voices" rather than "thank you"
@@sarahniriain7858 ah good hearing my mistake you're right, nice message all the same in Irish
I think before that she said (correct me if I am wrong its hard to here) "Tack så mycket" which is thank you in Swedish.
@@superbaralai it does sound quite like how you described & probably she knows some Swedish given her dad is from there.
This is one of the best performances in Eurovision history and will be remembered forever, congrats Ireland, she was the right choice. Also good choice with the Spanish stage director, good luck from Spain, this deserves top 5.
As a performance act/ stage show yes, but not as a song/vocals. Did she sing live at all? I wish they had to have the backimg singers live on stage ,so we could see who can sing or not. So many of them uses a lot of prerecorded backing vocals so that they almost dont have to sing live anymore. The reason they made the song like two different ones, with some sort of cabaret chorus , is obviously to make it approachable for the viewers…so how authentic is it?
@@In_my_own_mind Yes she did sound very good actually, showing very different registers of voice wjhile being on point in all of them, you can spot a couple of shaky moments due to the amount of movement, but being a good performer is not just about being the biggest voice, she was expressing with her whole body, with her face and she sounded good and in tune, she was fantastic.
@@alejandropradalozano6525she did sound good
They* are non-binary
Just wanted to say Bambie identifies as non-binary, and goes by they :)
Totally agreed though, the huge staging potential this song had has definitely been justified!!!
The more I listen to this song, and watch the live performance, the more I come to think this is of a high artistic value. Very well prepared down to the detail, different, well performed. It will maintain its appeal, unlike many other eurovision songs.
A theatrical, dramatic, and wonderfully artistic masterpiece. It seems that many people in Europe can't see beyond their noses unfortunately.
Listening to the studio version was amazing, but this song was meant to be played live. The intense instruments mixed with the screams and cheers of the crowd is bone chilling. You got this Bambi!!! 🎉🎉

What’s not artful about it? Is it that it’s unsettling? That’s kind of the point, it’s trying to make you feel that way and it’s evidently done a perfect job regardless of whether you actually like it or not
Keep in mind that a 22 year old Spanish designer created and staged this in 5 days. The serve of the serves of the night!
But why so many sequins? When she takes off the first part, her outfit is too colorful and and now she looks kitsch and messy..

Metal rock gothic 😂 This was not metal or rock. It was a pop song, but they were trying to be edgy.

@@therelaxcentral Bambie certainly doesn’t do this just “to be edgy”. They have an insanely good perception of art, and this shows it in its truest form.

I notice new details every time I watch it. Here are my interpretations:
0:29 At first, Witch wants the Beast so much that "revives" him. But it's the idea of him.
0:42 It's a fantasy, he is not actually there as we can learn from the lyrics.
0:58 Returns to the real world from the dream. Angle looks like waking up from sleep, getting up from bed. Also the Witch is MAD realizing it's a dream.
1:05 Actually casts the spell this time.
1:12 Right after casting it, we see the Beast affected by the spell.
1:21 The ritual part. The witch has him caged.
1:34 Fantasy starts again, but this time the Beast is in control, and drops the Witch on the floor. Because reality does not match the fantasy at all. They're not good together.
1:57 Witch wants to leave, reaching for us, towards the camera. But the Beast has a strong hold.
2:00 He does something awful, exposes the Witch to the world without any consent.
2:05 (For your romance I'd beg, steal and borrow, It's draining me hollow) Also in this part the Beast is completely in charge, he has the power and uses everything for exploitation, that's not love at all.
2:20 Again, tries to reach to us but the Beast manhandles this time. Escape is impossible.
2:33 THAT MOMENT WHEN THE WITCH FINDS THE STRENGTH TO BREAK THE SHACKES (goosebumps)
2:43 That swine is still chasing the Witch.
2:51 And he meets his end :)
Edit: JESUS I cannot believe I'm noticing new details. At the very very end, as it writes CROWN THE WITCH, the raising candles stop and it looks like the Witch's Crown... This is a ritual on stage to win the Eurovision, fingers crossed :D
It's actually a pretty good story, this is theatre, this is art, song is amazingly harmonized with harsh and sweet vocals.
