When Bambie Thug song was on air, I forgot all the mess EBU managed to do this year for a moment. She will be forever remembered in Eurovision history as one of the most iconic contenders to have ever entered an Eurovision stage.

This one conflicts me. I LOVE the presentation, I LOVE me some punks and rebels and I LOVE that Ireland got their best result in nearly a quarter of a century by sending a daring concept artist that wasn't trash.
However, the more I got to see interviews with Bambie Thug the harder it became to root for them. There is something very entitled and unnecessarily ego-driven in their attitude that turns me way off (and I mostly agree with their agenda). May they be able to ride this way of success and may that be a start for a new era of success for Ireland (because we all know that they need to get that 8th win for obvious reasons.
)
May Bambie get some realization that the world and the moon are not only turning around them.

I, unfortunately, agree. Like I mostly agree with the content of what they're saying but when it comes to their demeanour it just comes off as a bit snobbish.
Thank you my dear Ireland for sending Bambie Thug 
Their creativity, their performance, their bravery has, as cringe as it maybe sounds, had a huge impact on my life and I got my family to vote for them 
Off to buy me a Bambie tote bag now as we speak

She comes across as a massive fraud with all that “I’m a witch!!!” nonsense and trying to rebrand herself as the spokesperson for Palestine. Good on her for scamming her way to the top 10, though I think this is the pinnacle of her career.
A great result, very excited to see what influence this will have on next year's entries, and if Ireland is gonna continue to send anything worthwhile.
Good for calling them out, i have a long post on this in the works.

lol, it’s Bambie‘s pro-Palestine agenda that got you points at all. Most votes for Ireland were politically motivated too!

That is the common mindset among such people. It is all the "Zionists"/Israels fault.
Bambi cried, when she found out that Israel qualified. I wonder how she reacted, when she found out, that Israel got 10 pts from Ireland´s televote and 12 from the UK.

Did it come to your mind, that the votes for Israel were not cheating but simply a political statement by people who are not keen on the keffyieh-claden mixture of far-leftists and Islamists taking over the streets and heckling other opinions or simply do not like H@m@ss rapists supporters?
Btw, Ireland gave Israel 10pts in the televote, i had a good laugh about it.

No votes from Luxembourg, France and Israel. Hmmmm.
I only now noticed the ESC performance didn't use the "clock close to 12" image from the NF performance.... i thought that was a really strong image and made the song more universal and relevant, with so many worrying if the world is going to be destroyed any moment by a possible world war. Maybe it was thought of as too political, either by the EBU or their own team.

Tali is from Israel and Slimane‘s exgirlfriend (and now best?friend) is Jewish and from what I recall (not 100% sure) I think his family (father?) is of Jewish descent (despite being from Algeria).
Slimane did a whole speech about peace interrupting his rehearsal and Jewish =/= zionist, so I don't think Slimane having connections with Jewish people or jewish ancestry somehow makes him hate pro-palestinian people. On the contrary, he has been regularly seen with Nemo who belongs to the "Propalestina Mob" according to you. (edit: to clarify, they've been filmed hugging at a preparty, and when bambie came over after nemo's victory and put their crown on them which is filmed, someone who looks like slimane was also briefly seen there but he wasn't properly filmed)
I think French people just didn't like Bambie's vibe ignoring politics.
