Ireland IRELAND 2024 - Bambie Thug - Doomsday Blue

I actually think it will be the opposite, maybe even a little subtle, Bambie has said the staging will be “romantic”
Also they can 100% perform the song live too

Before the NF I liked the song. The studio version was good. When I saw her on the NF it reminded me of Linda Bengtzing in MF one year when she just looked like she didn’t know what she was doing and just running around crazily. It was just a bit too much.

I’d like to see Ireland back in the final because they don’t always get the points they deserve. Maybe 2024 could be the year and she could pull it off on the night

Staging is eccentric and goth without going off the deep end like some of bambies pre party outfits, very happy, look forward to seeing it in motion

 

[Etanna]

this looks very promising! Out of all the ones from today I'm probably the most curious to see Ireland in full.

I really like Ireland pictures. The song has grown on me since Bambie won her NF. Unfortunately, i still believe Doomsday Blue is part of those songs that the bubble loves but the general audience find it weird or too experimental. I would take as an example Serbia 2023 and France 2022. Bambie might qualify but i'm not sure this would do very well in the end.

My reaction to the Irish rehearsal summed up in a 4 second video!

France 2022 and Serbia 2023 are probably the worst case scenario for this and judging by the rehearsal if the camera cuts live up to the staging then I highly doubt it'll do as badly as these 2 entries did.

Ireland Will be back in Eurovision Finale, I'm 100% sure.

I don't think it's really any weirder or out there than Hatari's song from Iceland and it got over 200 points in the final.

Now I don't think we're getting that many points from the public but I do think some people are exaggerating how hard to get this song is.

I think we have more to worry from the jury than the public vote personally.

You may actually qualify with that staging! I'll assume RTÉ had nothing to do with it because it's actually brilliant

 

[MAD20]

That's how you do it Ireland! At least from these first pics and clip, it looks super promising. Hope it translates into a well-deserved qualification.

Hatrid Mun Sigra, in my opinion, is a way more accessible song than Doomsday Blue.

Hatrid Mun Sigra, in my opinion, is a way more accessible song than Doomsday Blue.

As someone who has HMS as his favourite ESC entry for the last decade what I can say on the matter is while I do think its more accessible than DB I wouldn't say it's "Way more accessible". The fact of the matter is its targeting the same sort of audience that HMS is and while being more accessible got it more point's than DB will probably get, it got the vast majority of its points from its target audience which is the same audience Bambie will be getting theirs from.

I do find as fans we have a tendency to overthink things like this in an attempt to try predict what Europe will think but the reality is for this song is while Bambie likely wont win the TV, no-one is challenging Croatia for the SF win in my opinion, the way Iceland did in 2019 it's still going to get enough tele vote's to easily qualify.

Iceland was my winner in 2019 and I could not disagree more about it being more accessible than Doomsday Blue

 

[Charly]

I really enjoyed the shower clip they did

It was my winner in 2019 too. My favourite NEVER wins.

I feel like people are kind of underestimating the theatrical side of Doomsday Blue potentially making it more accessible to the general audience.

It has sort of a dark Disney villain-esque vibe to it.

The thing with Doomsday Blue is that is has really accessible parts, and then it turns into something else unexpectedly, which to the untrained ear, can come across quite off-putting because it is so sudden.
Iceland 2019 was less accessible throughout the whole song - but therefore, it had a sudden appeal to people.

I sincerely hope Ireland will reach the final with Bambie Thug and I can definitely see it happen, but I wouldn't be surprised if it flops as well. Crossing my fingers for , even though Doomsdag Blue is not my cup of tea at all.

Holy Fuck YES

The 2nd rehearsal clip!

The incredible part is you just know this is only the part they want you to see, imagine how good the parts are they are keeping secret!

Anyone who thought this might NQ I would advise dropping those thoughts now
