Ireland made history in ESC.
Staging was totally out of this world.

[@decodunne4278]

Now that's how you stand out from the rest of the other performers. Amazing

[@EmmaKiely]

I always find it funny people saying they didnt expect this from Ireland. Catholicism aside (which is not as popular anymore) we have a history of paganism, Hallowe'en has origins here and we created dracula! We've always been a bit dark

[@LocalEClown_Music]

@EmmaKiely That IS true! I guess it's still a somewhat stereotype of Ireland. I've watched alot of Jacksepticeye back in the day and he used to talk about how religion was a focus in ireland when he was a kid! But I never really looked up anything more about it since! I did not know about Dracula thata dope. Always loved Ireland 💚

@@LocalEClown_MusicBram Stoker was from Dublin. We’re reared on stories from our pagan past!

[@Mgaffo222]

@@LocalEClown_Music We were a Celtic pagan country before the arrival of Christianity, We still have alot of symbolism and folklore that is related to our druidic past. A lot of us are raised hearing stories and things from that time period look at the Bealtine festival or Samhain what you would call Halloween both are festivals that originate in this time. Some of us take pride in that part of our culture in this there are alot of symbols like the triskele and various Celtic knots.

[@bosko41]

Voted as the best produced staging on the Eurovision stage ever.
And don't mess paganism and satanism, that's two different things.

[@Woody_emma_horseriding8]

[@nenadmkd]

Clap Clap 🎉

[@Kate-v9d]

Great reaction guys, thank you both

[@AmandaHiggins-n8e]

I watch this still amazing

[@tonyttt31]

Ireland is no longer a very Christian country.

[@LocalEClown_Music]

oh really? I thought I heard something like 80% of the country conciders themselves very catholic or something? Maybe I'm wrong 😅

[@tonyttt31]

@@LocalEClown_Music have you been to Ireland recently? Church-going numbers are less than 20%. Vast majority of people have very little respect for the church. We passed marriage equality in a referendum with 68% for. This isn't a very Christian country. It has a legacy of Catholicism. You are wrong.

[@tilltil09]

Well that's because those in black cloth abused kids and then some people hating on bambie coz they are in black 😂😂 Irish is still very catholic just not AS and I don't blame them after all the scandels and the way they were treated in Madeline laundries and their kids taking off them 😢 ps bambie thug is the new Irish lady ga ga I love they're song love bites such a different contrast to doomsday blue

[@ESC_ChrisM]

@@tonyttt31 Totally agree. And I love that in this performance Bambie is channelling our pagan past, pre-Christianity and bringing it into modernity. Irish people will generally identify as catholic but they don't really practice it, as you say, and it's not really a relevant part of our lives, but I think some small 'positives' stick with Irish people - they are generous and kind, giving and happy to make sacrifices for others. So yea, catholicism and the church are just not relevant to very much any more.

[@Kate-v9d]

I agree, however, many of us are still very spiritual though, just ask any Irish person. They will tell you they don't feel the need to go to mass/church, one can watch your local church online, in most places, so we have not lost our religion, we are still very spiritual.

[@Per_TP]

Ireland used to be very Catholic, not Christian. And the Catholics really hated this song. Apparently they sent in a protest list trying to stop Bambie Thug from representing Ireland. 😆

[@somebodyin_universe3288]

Goosebumps!

[@IrishUnicornxx]

I love this and in Irish
