Honestly I will be pleased to see Ireland back in the GF and even more pleased to see them get a good result because I think they need It to regain some momentum.

I find the whole crown the witch thing very self indulgent but having seen the whole performance leaked on twitter I am absolutely blown the fuck away, to think it is only a year ago that I was at semi 1 pretending not to be irish because of how embarrassed I was by the golden cameltoe Morrisons roast performance

The tv feed was leaked on twitter and all I'll say is
Holy f**king sh!t, still have to remind myself that this is IRELAND were are talking about.
I would be shocked if Ireland isnt NOT top 3 in the SF at this stage.

Does it actually say ‘crown the witch’ on the LED at the end? Seems a bit odd if so…

I've seen it too. Holy fuck. Bambie Thug is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The artistry, the camera shots, just everything.
With the risk of being Negative Nancy haha
This is amazingly staged, especially the first minute. It got good camera angles, it's paced properly, it has a clear artistic view, it is a moment. I would be surprised if this fails to qualify, it is qualifying for sure. Best Irish effort in years, honestly.
But towards the end it gets too much for me. Too weird, too quick, too much happening, too extreme, too intense. The song still isn't for me so I guess that has something to do with it but yeah I was lost after the 2 minute mark.
Still: kudos to Bambie!!! It is really, really well thought through, and visually stunning, and it is qualifying for sure. Maybe even top 3 this semi?

Saw the leak in Twitter, and yeah this staging is spectacular, especially when you keep in mind last year's golden bulge lukewarm water-music. Their place in GF is undeniable. Thus said, i wouldn't be THAT sure about qualification. It can rise up high and have a path like Go_A's in 2021 (the song that people worries about not making the cut but being THE sensation during rehearsals and then finish quite high thanks to a better televote than expected before), or fall down like Blanca Paloma last year (the song loved by fandom and preceeded by a real hype but too weird, too scary, too risky or arty)...
Let's be honest, i'm much more expecting the first story, but you never know.

My opinion on the song aside, this staging looks absolutely phenomenal. Easily the best from Ireland i've seen in all my years following Eurovision, by a long long distance. I dare say RTE played little to no part in this and this all the work of Bambie and her team. I don't think it's even in question they deserve a spot in the final.

Agreed. Bravo
- you deserve your spot for this vision 
I also cannot wait to see my mum's WTF face tomorrow when this performance goes off

I showed my mum all the songs a couple of weeks ago and she had to take a pause after this. She hated it with every fibre of her being.

Still hate the song but I´m happy for all Irish fans if Bambi makes it into the final since you suffered nearly as much in the past years as we Germans.

My mum is going into the Semi finals completely blind for a change, aside from UK (although she hasn't seen the live staging yet...I showed my mum all the songs a couple of weeks ago and she had to take a pause after this. She hated it with every fibre of her being.
)So it'll be just as fun trying to watch her reactions during the show!
My mum asked why Ireland aren't sending their usual 'good entries'I showed my mum all the songs a couple of weeks ago and she had to take a pause after this. She hated it with every fibre of her being.
The way I ghosted her for 3 days
