I don't want to rant but quite frankly I think this Irish entry is pure **** I am astounded how hyped it is by many fans here but it just shows, taste varies. Give me the Irish ESC-ballads from the 90s any day instead.

 

[hawadharma]

Ireland's performance the best so far.. so unique, so engaging even if the song is mediocre..

 

[Stargazer]

Ireland is easily one of the worst tonight for me. There's nothing redeeming about it. I love gothic and macabre visuals, but at least have a good song to go with it.

 

[Bench]

WTF did I just watch

 

[lasse braun]

ireland has the flow.

 

[soulm8]

Iconic! Iconic Ireland

 

[cassio]

what hell Ireland you will so qualify

 

[gigi_copp3]

I'll go to Ireland in the next summer.
Love Doomsday blue but I don't think it will get a top 5

 

[Sabrewulf238]

Oh my god my heart is pumping that was AMAZING!

I have never been more proud of Ireland at Eurovision than right now in this moment.

 

[jatojo]

Give me the Irish ESC-ballads from the 90s any day instead.

Or something in between. A couple of the Irish successes in the 90's were almost absurd.

 

[Etanna]

Ireland absolutely brilliant

 

[hawadharma]

non-binary what.

 

[Gordon_Shumway]

Ireland...what has become of this classic ESC nation? I find it horrible this year. Just my opinion.

 

[Biste]

Looks like STV picked some...

So choosing as cliché as possible. Got it...

 

[Citelis]

I'm not a fan of Irish entry from the start but that was a good performance

 

[AliceEsc]

impressive, although I can't get into the song. Bambie seemed a little nervous? Anyway, sure Q, you can be proud.

 

[Chrisiam]

Bambi wasn't that strong tonight but I can see them going through.

 

[jatojo]

I think I would actually vote if it was possible to downvote.

 

[hawadharma]

omg malaysia is mentioned i'm dead

 

[ollibox]

GOOOOD evening everyone!
And first thing I have to say - Ireland is going to qualify with this! F*ck me!
