changed my vote to 5 points it getting better after i have seen the video

The NF was held on the main talk show in the country, which is aired on a Friday night and usually gets high viewership.

The talk show has a bit of a reputation for being watched by 'grannies' or other people who don't go out on a Friday night. So I'm not sure how representative it is of the whole population, but given the high viewership it's probably as representive as a tv show in Ireland can be.

As for people who voted, I'm guessing it would have given a good glimpse of public opinion in Ireland, as many viewers would be people who tune in every week anyway.

The Irish selection process and the typical audience thereof is precisely why this song may not be as divisive as it may appear to be from within the Eurovision bubble.

Been happy with the pre party performances, this is the first time since 2015 that I have actually wanted our entry to qualify

Did Ryan O'Shaughnessy do pre-parties in 2018? I forget at the moment. I know Sarah McTernan did a few.

I'm the same. I actively wanted us to NQ for the last few years. Brooke did a great job in fairness and was so enthusiastic but I didn't like her song. Nice to see Bambie embracing the Eurovision spirit, WY seemed very miserable last year.

He did,i was just indifferent to Together

I've been sleeping on Bambie Thug, but seeing the videos for their performances from London pre-party, wow they are SAVAGE!

I'm gonna check out more of their stuff. Bambie Thug is surely going to bring Ireland into the final, they are a great artist and I can't wait for their staging.

this is like early Lady Gaga performance, I love it. I would have preferred this for their Eurovision entry though.

Although her entry is not neccesarly my type of music, this performance once again proves to me that she is one of the strongest vocalists this year. People are sleeping on her and it is so annoying. I need her to Q despite the odds.

 

[SpiritofKeiino]

Don't worry, it's qualifying. She's a great performer.

 

[goncalovieira]

Maybe there will be a chance to take Slovenia spot.

The odds now have her as a qualifier

Annoying, backing Bambie to qualify is the easiest money I'll ever make but now sadly the bookies have woken up it seems.

 

[MopManMoss]

Ignore the fake news I am the new taoiseach, shitposting is now mandatory on the national curriculum and doomsday blue is the new national anthem

 

[Zeus]

This year is complete garbage to me but please let this be good on the live stage. At least this has the potential to be entertaining and daring. Go shock the world girl.

I fear it will be a disaster though.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Where's the peanut butter you promised on page one of your manifesto?

 

[Cathan]

Bambie obviously revealed that Doomsday Blue is being revamped for ESC but supposedly we wont hear in until ESC.

However the instrumental of the revamp has been revealed on twitter:

-It's only for the last 2 minutes of the song though!

 

[MopManMoss]

Probably deluded but tá ár lá tagtha

 

[MopManMoss]

Not for victory or anything!!! I'm not THAT deluded but truly think we are good for qualification for once

 

[Cathan]

I mean we always were but this makes me even more confident, Especially with the fact that Bambie is an excellent performer meaning if anything this will be elevated even more live!

I mean when it comes to qualification the bookies are usually very harsh with Ireland (as in, they'll usually put Ireland as low as they possibly can within reasons, 2022 being the best example) so you know Ireland are qualifying when even the BOOKIES think Ireland is a qualifier

 

[MopManMoss]

I really thought we would have heard at least some poppy comparisons by this point, maybe in may?

Bambie Thug will never be more iconic than Wild Youth.
