Ireland IRELAND 2024 - Bambie Thug - Doomsday Blue

[ESC United Mod Team]

 

[Lumina]

5 points for staging and creativity but apart from that I‘m not too keen on the song. I do wonder though how it’s gonna be perceived in the semi because I don’t think it’s especially family friendly.

 

[SAYAY]

I have to change my score yet another time after I watched the rehearsal clip and the more I listen to this, the more I like the vibe of it. Changins from to points

 

[soulm8]

Absolutely mesmerizing staging. Sounded good as well. This stand out big time and will qualify easily with the public.

 

[Milos-BC]

I love that finally comes up with something freesh and original (and gloomy, that always works for me). Though I still can't connect to the song itself. But we will see, I hope to be blown away by the live performance.

5 points for now.

 

[Cathan]

Has now overtaken Cyprus as the 6th favourite to Q in the SF!

 

[Bmbriga]

This dong really grew on me and the staging looks amazing from the clip.
I need to throw one country out of my top 10 to make room for Ireland just didn't decided yet which one.

 

[anabanana2000]

Ahead of Greece now, 8th favourite to win

 

[Sammy]

Just imagine Christer's face when Ireland would win this year. When Sweden JUST tied up with them. In ABBAs anniversary year... In Sweden...

(Won't happen of course, but still)

 

[Seregil Korit]

From all the clips this stands out the most - it looks and sounds absolutely amazing. The camera work is absolutely delicious and the attention that Bambie commands

 

[lavieenrose]

Ohhh, I'm loving this onstage. I already respected the creativity of it but am truly *entertained* now. Moving up to and wouldn't be surprised if I go even higher after the live shows--and I'm confident there will be live shows plural.

 

[Pencissy]

Imo from a NQ to a decent top10-15 to a really really BANGER!!! From yesterday I've started rooting for Ireland!!! Lets go fellas

 

[Paco Roca]

7th in the odds!

 

[aef]

I still think this will be a NQ. But hey, prove me wrong. The odds for this are totally useless either way, it won’t come top 10, let’s be real for a second.

The irony of telling people to be real and then think this will NQ

 

[Cathan]

Ireland have now overtaken Luxembourg as the 5th most likely song to qualify in SF1 with a 86% chance!

 

[Pencissy]

I've no idea what Ireland's place will be in final, but in semi no way this is not gonna be top3 for real.
Lets do a sanity check: is there any positive possibility Finland to be end up higher in semis than Ireland? No way.

 

[Zeus]

This will ether flop extremely hard or finish top 5 in the semi and get a nice televote score in the final.

So, the positive scenario it is. I predict top 3 in the semi and 130+ points from the televotes in the final. Juries won't give it much love though.

Objectively, & were the best songs for me this year, but I'm ready to jump on the hype train if that live performance goes as hard as the rehearsal snippet promises us.

 

[Paco Roca]

Ireland's journey surprised me. Bambie Thug in the studio audio version was strong, in the NF it was close to amateur, in the video interesting but a little shaky, in the preparties it was solid and now... In the rehersal Bambie Thug brought to the stage what I had hoped for since first day! He brought darkness and evil to the stage! Seeing this staging I see everything that "Fulenn" wanted to give but he couldn't. I don't think Ireland will win because it's a very divisive song (so Swedish fans will sleep easy) but I think a top 10 can be mathematical. When Ireland abandons Coca Cola adverts or bad copies of U2 songs it may surprise us!

Does that mean they're also missing the Turquoise carpet?
