I am obsessed with this performance. Irish people should all be very proud of Bambie Thug and Ireland at Eurovision 2024. This is amazing.

[@COUNTYGAINS]

were all so proud of her like!! lolol

They are Pagan not Satanic.

[@MIKRASIATISSA]

I'm gonna say it... If she wanted it more pagan, she'd not put a christian-themed devil on the stage, she'd bring the mother maiden and the crone instead.

[@aldpr4449]

it is satanic, admit it. If that doesn't bother you or you think that's just a gimmick - that's fine. Just don't lie, see the truth she showed/represented on the stage and that was satanic ideas/visuals.

[@oxcaxx]

@@MIKRASIATISSA There is no depictions of a 'Christian themed devil'. If you actually read Christian scriptures, you'd know that. All depiction of the what the devil supposedly is are fan fiction that came hundreds of years later. It's not canon to the original testaments. Wicca and paganism are completely different from satanic things or satanism. Christians seem to be calling everything that slightly scares them 'satanic'. It's ridiculous.

[@KFConyard]

@@MIKRASIATISSA The girl, mother and crone is seen on their chest the three concentric circles also the cresent moon is a rather good point to it. let us not even look at their forehead The christian themed devil... You know demons and evil spirits could look very the same! The puka a shape changing spirit was known to seduce but take ones energies. Not a bad rendition I must admit. Well done Bambie from the pagans of Ireland. Ps. every time someone says demonic or devil one is actually giving misinformation, disinformation and is actually very annoying to those of us where these symbols and traditions are our culture to those who are truly IRISH, and more importantly to those who are pagan irish. Pagan culture is older than the church and the devil is a christian creation not pagan so not demonic or christian just traditional.

[@astralgod6448]

@@MIKRASIATISSA pretty sure the pentagram is not christian, it existed even before christianity. the devil (or at least an adversary, an evil being of the underworld) isnt a christian idea neccesarily as well, it also existed in ancient greece and many old ancient religions. the horns are associated with the modern christian satan. however, they arent christian either. considering the modern idea of the christian devil has been influenced by media (the devil isnt mentioned to have horns, be red, or even be a goathead, in actual christian literature). something funny is that christian conservatives got really pissed off by this performance, even though she literally kills the devil in the end....

[@francisdunne8542]

Two of the main misconseptions about this song. First the Ava Cadavra incantation wasn't created for Harry Potter. It wasn't, its an aramaic healing spell. Also the symbology here is wicca, not satanist.

[@COUNTYGAINS]

amazing!! thank you for clearing that up!!

[@lilliangutherless2136]

not wicca she is PAGAN

[@musiceol7]

The performance ranks among the greatest in Eurovision history, alongside classics like "Rise Like a Phoenix" and "Riverdance." From start to finish, it captivated me; every second was enthralling. Initially overlooked in a simple studio setting in Ireland, Bambie Thug's performance mesmerized TV audiences. It stands head and shoulders above other acts this year, truly on another level.

[@Niamhee56]

Crown the Witch 😍🇮🇪👑

[@COUNTYGAINS]

crooown herrr

[@aekelly]

Wicca and Satanism are totally different things. Please don't spread that idea.

[@COUNTYGAINS]

never heard of that ill llook into it!!

[@aekelly]

@@COUNTYGAINS thank you! 💕

[@MIKRASIATISSA]

why is that christian concept devil dancin' w/ her on the stage then? why not mother maiden crone?

[@seachangelezzie]

​@MIKRASIATISSA it is based on the pagan God Pan, so not the christian derived satan, you only see that because that's what you are familiar with.

[@MIKRASIATISSA]

​@@seachangelezzie potato patato, they look the same lol horns, furry legs and cloven hooves of a goat... they're obviously linked.

[@Karaddar]

Most Irish people know we were a pagan country before a catholic one. They are not satanic. I’m surprised at your reaction to be honest. He is not the devil. He is pan a horned god from pagan times. You really need to read up on our religion and history!

[@COUNTYGAINS]

ohhh very good didnt think of that one ima get my history on this week!!

[@Conordebrun]

He’s not supposed to be the devil 😂

[@COUNTYGAINS]

what he surposed to be!? cause im a average viewer and i thought he was the DEVIIIIIL

[@MrResidentevil18]

@@COUNTYGAINS from my view, its about them being trans and she getting rid of her demons.

[@tuusvellanie4559]

​@@COUNTYGAINS Hi! The performance (unsure if the song itself) is actually a reference to how Bambie decided to confront and stop protecting her abuser, who sexually assaulted them, when I assume Bambie rejected him (most probably due to sexual orientation). The fellow Bambie confronted regarding the above used to be their long trusted friend. Bambie is basically fighting their own demon on stage and doing what every victim would love to do in front of millions of people - sweet payback. The performance during semi finals was so powerful, because Bambie actually felt every bit of this representation to the core and that's what most fans found so beautiful, heartbreaking and simply a masterpiece.

[@palm2004]

Intense but mesmerising

[@COUNTYGAINS]

it was intens!

[@Abmort93]

As a witch and pagan from another country, this is my favorite song. The pentacle (five pointed star surrounded by a circle) is a very ancient symbol that is not satanic in origin. It’s actually originally a Christian symbol for the five wounds of Jesus. And they are not possessing the demonic man, rather battling the ties of their bond to him while he is “living a lie” instead of living authenticity.

[@annyirish6106]

The satanic star is the 6 pointed star of Remphan, there is no such thing as a star of David, King David's symbol is a harp.

[@adrienneevers962]

Everything about this is exquisite

[@COUNTYGAINS]

The end is amazing

[@ciaranfarrell1362]

he has one horn, it's a half man half demon, not the devil. If you look carefully it's a ballet. The symbolism is beating your demons. Everyone's demons are going to be different depending on person. The imagery is clever, using witchcraft in the beginning in the magic circle whilst struggling with the demon and as the demon is on the way to being beaten the magic circle lifts up and eventually becomes a crown.

[@bencollins1688]

Wasn't Ireland Pagan before it was Catholic?

[@cikalujo]

For a very long time, too.

Fantastic Ireland

Bang on! Flatley and Butler performed Riverdance as the 'half-time' act in 1994 when we were on our run of back-to-back wins.

[@muinteoirdior]

Their pronouns are THEY/THEM. Hands down the best performance of the night. They deserve the win! They've really won me over with this performance as I didn't care too much for the song at first, but now I love it. Good on them! #CrownTheWitch

Thats amazing!! 💪♥️🇮🇪

Thank you for your great reaction. An uniquely amazing creative artistic performance, a masterpiece, Ireland's Bambi 12 points

[@COUNTYGAINS]

Thank you too!

[@grizzywald]

Those trying to brand this 'satanic' are usually from a Christian religious standpoint, who have spent centuries denouncing paganism in order to replace it, and tbf they were pretty successful. However the church in Ireland, not devoid of its own rituals, is no longer a shining tower of virtue in recent decades. Anyway, I loved this performance, the design, costume, choreography and camerawork were perfect - the song is actually well-crafted (Bambie is a talented songwriter) and to package all the light & shade (dark shade alright) into a 3-minute performance with such presence is the best I've seen at EV. Saw a couple of interviews on here with Bambie, and they are a delightful, charming and eloquent person. I'm excited to see what they do in future, and how they can keep reinventing themselves

[@rexation8952]

I see this more of a scorned boyfriend that she killed and "perfected" by reincarnating him via a wicca ritual/spell (hence the half human/half monster look he has). She thought he would be better/different because of this in the way she wanted, but in the end he was worse. She still had the power over him as her creation, so she had to kill him again.

[@COUNTYGAINS]

Awww i love that breakdown!! You wanna do a reaction with me to bambie thug!! Haha but yah thats a great breakdown

Haha. Michael Flatley didn’t represent Ireland in 1994 he was the halftime performance as it was held in Ireland that year.

[@colinokeeffe1294]

A beautiful tribute to our very much non Satanism culture. Paganism is older than Christianity people

[@UsernameUsername0000]

The whole “is this performer satanic” thing is so shallow. Bambie was one of the few artists to speak out in support of Palestine; the supposedly satanic performer ended up having better morals than some of their glitzy glam peers lmfao. It’s so beyond me that people can’t look beyond an aesthetic lol.

[@josesousa2171]

That preformance it's not satanic, it is pagan. You can know that because the pentagram it's a symbol of nature, and the others symbols are celtic.

[@COUNTYGAINS]

Interesting

[@narutofanxx-wt7ry]

i love ireland 🇮🇪❤🇵🇸

[@COUNTYGAINS]

Ireland loves you!!

[@user-tx8ts1fw4w]

Love Bambie ❤so proud 😊

[@blinkspacestudio8892]

Pagan not satanic, probably way more powerful then satanic to be honest. Either way its a powerful performance for sure. I also feel like her pilot dancer is supposed to represent the personal desires that we manifest but they start to control us, then she takes back control at the end its so bad ass.

[@petersinnott2114]

Good witch trying change boyfriends badways

[@COUNTYGAINS]

niiiice

[@smallaxe814]

Can't stop watching this fantastic performance, just one thing quit with the Satanism, with the black feathers and all she's refering to the ancient Irish mythology goddess Morrigan sometimes know as the triple goddess who shapeshifts into a raven, long, long, long before any Christian Devil was thought of. Any Irish person should know that

[@COUNTYGAINS]

I didnt but i do now!

[@logi-a]

Not to be that guy but it’s not satanic but rather pagan, also they use they/them pronouns but ofc everyone has different opinions on pronouns

[@COUNTYGAINS]

Shoutout to pagans in Ireland

[@seachangelezzie]

Can i just let you know respectfully that Bambi Thug is a non_binary artist that uses they /them pronouns. The second costume they wearbis actually the Transgender flag, and they are very outspoken in their advocacy for that community.

[@Angie27-vf7kk]

They didn't summon the devil it was a demon?and almost everyone battles their own demons,people allow their kids to watch Disney's malificent and this is a big deal? and again they are wicca not satanists,

[@martingomel1611]

Stick to Daniel O'Donnell.

[@jgg59]

Learn your history it’s not satanic it’s pagan. Everything on there is Celtic symbolism. nothing to do with Satan.

yes im irish...she should have won or croatia

[@tomwalsh2244]

Dumped half way through. |Not a bright person.

[@lolitabubbles26]

It's really sad to see your reaction. It's like people just don't want to believe anything outside of Christianity despite thousands of years of pagan worship before a monk ever stepped foot on Irish soil. Have you ever seen that symbol on her forehead in Christian iconography? Or how about all of the pagan symbols behind her after the candles raise? I swear... reactions like this get my blood pumping. Hopefully these comments have taught you something.

[@COUNTYGAINS]

Ohhhkay lolita lets relax noooow!! Hahah i understand stand the song! Just a little out there you gotta admit! Also i think Croatia 🇭🇷 should have won and then Ireland 🇮🇪 we should have come second I said no biggie

[@Deathbunnygirl]

Great to see your reaction but just to let you know kindly that Bambi Thug's pronouns are They/Them not She/Her

[@Ghilannugs]

Its very interesting to see someone with what seems atleast like a much more uuuh conservative view? (not necessarily politically just like socially idk). Anyways if I was supporting Eurovision this year this would get my votes
