CROWN THE WITCH! 👑| Bambie Thug - Doomsday Blue (LIVE) | First Semi-Final | Eurovision 2024

[@kirks1234]

In my 63 yrs, this Irishman has seen Ireland produce A+ Eurovision winning songs. But honestly? This is better than any of them, and win, lose or draw, Bambie and their team have carved out a place in Eurovision history.

[@pilibodonnchu3196]

Gan dabht 🇮🇪 this was so amazing to watch . So proud . Míle buíochais Bambi Thug 💚

[@annmarielinehan6566]

Love her

[@jackieoconnor4926]

Absolutely agree. And so refreshing to hear an Irish person the same age as me loving this and not calling for Bambie to be exorcised 🤣. I’m so proud of them 😊

[@marialc8960]

for real, i was shocked about how good the perfomance, timing and camera angles are. I'm from spain and i'm trying to show this performance to my non-eurofans friends so they can apreciate this masterpiece (whether u like the song/genre or not)

[@johncallaghan1787]

A Young Spanish designer deserves credit for his help too in the team.

[@AmyJohnson-uc1fb]

I'm a 51yo, who has watched Eurovision every year as far back as I can remember. This performance is the most intense, jaw dropping, visually stimulating, technically perfect performance I have ever seen at Eurovision. Should Bambie Thug win. YES! But it's Eurovision, and sometimes people don't win who you think should. However, this performance is ICONIC and will be talked about for many years beyond people forgetting who the winner this year is. #crownthewitch

[@PedroSantos-bw2ww]

You are on crack !! The most evil, fowl shit i have ever seen, australians hated it ! Horrible so are the idiors that think thus is music! Demonic shit!

[@chrisp.14]

Here, almost 50, feeling the same.

[@martileah]

I'm 62 and concur. We witnessed artistic genius and again as an Irish person I am so admiring and proud ,not least because Bambi Thug is referencing the wealth and riches of ancient Irish pagan and druidic culture ( their use of Ogham calligraphy and symbolism) Evidence of Irish pagan culture and ritual is still scattered throughout the Irish Landscape ( New Grange, Knowth, and Dowth, standing stones, passage graves, and dolmens) Crown the Witch🫶☘️♾️✡️💖🕊️

[@emmabourke6565]

I'm literally obsessed with this song. The more you watch, the more you love this fantastic performance It reminds me ofthe first time I saw Irelands Riverdance at the Eurovision❤

[@ElfenLied987]

A good comparison

[@courageousdog]

We in Ireland are proud of this song... As you will know Holloween and Druidic culture is Irish and this song plays homage to that

[@gaelicreaction1049]

Not much Irish paganism in this other than the triskelion on her forehead and ogham on her cheek. The rest is Satanic: references to casting hexes, pentagram on the ground, demon/devil figure in the background, devil horns -- all those things combined point to witchcraft and Satanism.

[@psychedelicpegasus7587]

Bambie was en pointe for a lot of the performance. To maintain balance, dance beautifully, hit those camera cues AND give a unique vocal performance is an unbelievable achievement.

[@TheLadySilverMoon]

I'm from Denmark and I've watched eurovision for almost 25 years, and this is one of the best examples of visual storytelling I've seen on a eurovision stage. My favorite part is the candle circle, it's a simple prop but it works so well, especially when she lights it up with her hands I love that part.

[@Angie27-vf7kk]

We brought you the best interval act in the history of eurovision, now we give you Bambie Thug what a phenomenal performance, win or lose this act will be remembered for a very long time. Crown the witch 🇮🇪

[@nicholascarmody7884]

On top of this performance being a masterclass in lighting, camera work, use of props and choreography. Can we also take a moment to appreciate the fact Bambie is en pointe (on their tip toes in ballet) for most of the performance while singing. That takes a great level of concentration to achieve. Furthermore, as any Scream Queen (Jamie Lee Curtis etc) will tell you it can be incredibly difficult to execute a perfect scream/screech on queue,. Bambie makes it look effortless in how they both dance and switch vocal styles of singing. People might not like this song, but you cannot deny the theatrical brilliance of this performance. #CrownTheWitch

[@musiceol7]

This performance is undoubtedly one of the greatest in Eurovision history, standing alongside timeless classics like "Rise Like a Phoenix" Euphoria and "Riverdance." It held me captive from the very beginning, each moment filled with enchantment. Initially overlooked in a modest studio setting in Ireland, Bambie Thug's performance enchanted TV audiences. It effortlessly surpasses other acts this year, truly elevating the competition. Additionally, their rendition of "Zombie" by The Cranberries, especially the intimate piano version, beautifully showcases their vocal prowess. Even if they don't win Eurovision, they've already proven themselves as stars.

​@HopefulInterventions you're not just stupid, you're also wrong. The performance is 70% of the song contest, because it's a SONG contest not a singer contest like x factor. Eurovision has always had both performance and song go hand in hand to achieve victory, and Doomsday Blue is easily the best performance eurovision has had in years. Cope

All soulmates here, let's CROWN THE WITCH on Saturday (May 11th)!⛥🇮🇪🧙‍♀️👑🖤 The final will take place at 9 PM Central European Time / 1 PM Calgary Time / 3 PM New York Time / 12 PM California Time and can also be watched live on YT! People from all over the world can vote for Bambie: Either via phone*call and SMS in the participating countries, or using the EurovisionApp from all non-participating countries! Make sure to vote 20 times with each device you have - this way you can vote 40, 60 or 80 times per person! And tell all your friends and family about this special opportunity all of us Goths, metalheads, alternative minds and queer people have now! 🦇🏳️‍⚧️🌙 Our beloved witch delivered without exaggeration the best Eurovision performance in history - Bambie, every Goth and alternative soul in the world is insanely proud of you and you're the most heartwarming voice I could ever imagine to represent us! 🇮🇪🧙‍♀️👑🖤 This boundary-breaking show is theatrical extravaganza, a storytelling experience in 3 minutes, a trance-like journey that casts a spell over the viewer just like Bambie is evoking enchantment on stage - and on top of that they are a once-in-a-lifetime performer, "Doomsday Blue" is an addictively refreshing song without any limits, and we get to see a staging that doesn't only captivate the dark souls who feel drawn to witchcraft anyway, but also the masses who have no choice but crowning the witch! Bambie is not only an artist who renders me speechless on a daily basis and is my biggest inspiration these days, but also an addictively charming human being who can make countless hearts jump for joy with their infectious smile. This is a performance that will be eternally engraved in the history books, and I will rewatch it over and over again until my last breath on earth!🖤✨️🌙 What is haunting me at night and day is that this easily exceeds everything people considered a Eurovision performance before - Bambie is setting new standards that will change Eurovision for decades to come. Of course "Doomsday Blue" works as a song and is travelling through an insane amount of genres and Bambie's vocals are on point no matter if they're dancing ballet or defeating the toxic boyfriend with an inferno of screams and in the middle of a firestorm, but the one aspect that makes me crazy in the most positive way is that this show has cinematic qualities and almost feels like a movie! While other contestants are satisfied with simply singing a song or repeating the same dance breaks over and over again, Bambie is combining all existing types of art to create a mesmerizing mélange of genreless dark art, theatrical drama, elegiac dance and visual grandeur... If someone would have told me before, I wouldn't have believed that such a performance is even possible. But what becomes clear is that you just need the right creative people in the right place to make history! I have never seen something like this before: Bambie will rise from an independent artist to a world star.😍 And I couldn't be happier because we share the same dreams and values! I definitely won't take any rest until the witch is crowned!🇮🇪🧙‍♀️👑🖤🌙
