Bambie cake 6th out of the whole competition super proud of Bambie thug my new favourite artist ❤❤❤

[@fufurabumbacka]

Bambie was WAAAAAY better than ANY of other representatns.

[@damedusa5107]

In what way? Performance was good and different, but the song is awful. Better singers on stage that night

[@duzy3742]

​@@damedusa5107the song is good for what it is supposed to be...for a pop song is awful but it's not a pop song, it's experimental metal. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's bad, anyone who understands music theory knows the song is good, well structured and well thought elements with an amazing build up. Now just cause it's well done doesn't mean it will sound good to everyone or fit everyone's taste, like you :)

[@damedusa5107]

@@duzy3742 music theory doesn’t matter if it doesn’t pass the ear test. Most people thought the song wasn’t great. So I’m not in the minority here.

[@duzy3742]

@@damedusa5107 metal isn't the most popular music genre, i liked it and lot of people did too, so the song is good for us and bad for you (and for all the people who hated goo)...its normal, that's how personal tastes work, nothing new. I'm aware a lot of people didn't like it, its definitely not mainstream bubblegum pop type of music. You could've just said "performance was good but I hated the song" but instead you chose to say "song is awful" it's ok, as long as you don't shit on people who like it it's fine

[@Dreyno]

@@damedusa5107The song was awful in your opinion. In my opinion it was interesting. As opposed to the winning song which was a bout as prosaic and average as possible. As for better singers, maybe, but not many.

[@susanagarcia9646]

One of the best performances ever!!❤

[@ronnopotter]

I would probably never download this song but I really enjoy the show they put on stage. Very artsy and scary... The first time I watched it really got shocked.

[@sandrafinnegan7708]

Bambie is a theatre kid lol

[@Wriwnas1]

Wicked fun indeed!

[@tonibufu6103]

If you ask about Bambie's music style, that is Ouija-pop. Ouija-pop includes pop music and horror music.

[@Granuaile1]

Look for info about pagan Celtic festivals especially Samhain (modern day Halloween) and the Morrigan (goddess of war).

[@martinhertog5357]

You could also mention the Banshee, Bambie has a very nice scream. The very first time I voted, Bambie earned it.

[@Granuaile1]

@@martinhertog5357 True! She’s the member of the Sídhe who came across to our ‘reality’ to warn of impending doom with her keening. Not sure if she’d be able for Bambiie though. She gave me laryngitis just listening to her!

[@Irish780]

It's an old irish pagen tradition before Christianity came to Ireland..... remember Halloween started in Ireland

[@yougoglencoco08]

Funny the comparison with Sinead and Dolores. I actually think Bambie has the potential to be as big as them. They remind alot of Sinead and Dolores. Confident, opinionated, artistic proud Irish women.

[@lolsaXx]

I didnt really like the song when i first heard it but this preformane was just WOW! It made me love it. I voted for Ireland and Switzerland (the winned.)

[@blustery_tabletop]

Haha does he think Sinead was innocent😂 she ripped a picture of the Pope. Rightfully so. She was ahead of her time

[@hachimaki]

I'm with you Mike, the song is very much not up my alley but I have to say that the performance was pretty amazing.

[@aoifed8913]

Sinéad passed away last year & Dolores passed away in 2018. Nice one for bringing us down Mike😢👍 I love the song & performance, very proud of Bambie Thug. Hope you enjoyed Eurovision

Watch Bambie's version of Zombie by Dolores. It's brilliant. 👍

She has a cover Zombie…

[@tilltil09]

Bambie also does Dolores o Riordan's version of zombie that I like I think Bambie thug is phenomenal they are the one artist I remember from Eurovision this year. They will be known world wide people that call Bambie weird or weird looking well look at lady ga ga they said they same about her and look what happened 💅

[@angelicboyne]

[@nexieane7577]

@@damedusa5107 That's fair, but there is a difference between someone not liking something and that something being bad. At the very least the vocals and production are objectively well done, the whole thing is skillfully written and performed - regardless of whether you, me, or anyone else "likes it" - so it's neither fair nor correct to claim the song is "awful" so there's that.

[@jamielandis4308]

Not a great song but a striking performance. I would not vote this to win because it only works for me as a stage act. I would never listen to this on the radio. No hate for Mike; I’m an Enya and Celtic Woman guy. I liked Baby Lasagne best as well, though I know Nemo won.

[@Dreyno]

Not a great song? But yet you like Baby Lasagna which is just a guy trying to sing a 3 note guitar riff with a cast off Bon Jovi chorus.

[@AnnLawton]

Technically really good production but l honestly didn't like it much...too harsh and screechy at times.

[@seallv4507]

Yeah i agree. Very talanted woman. Very professional performance. Only if the message would be lighter and not so agressive.

[@TripG-lt1cl]

If I'm driving a car and it's playing in the background, I change the station. Eurovision is a singing competition, or at least they were... the progressive era came and it became mostly a perverted circus. If the song is good, I don't care how it was presented. Usually pornography or provocation of excessive theatricality comes to compensate for poor vocal abilities and quality or for a really bad song. Also songs by singers, especially well-known female singers, are conveyed through the externalization of sexuality in order to convince to purchase the product...probably someone on their behalf understands that sex sells. The show was bizarre, I didn't really care, the song is bad and I won't want to hear it again.

[@seallv4507]

Terrible message sent. Its not for Eurovision. She is very talanted musicle/opera/theatre actor and very good singer and composer, but the message overcovers it all. She should go to some Metal concert and sing there. Imagine Gorgoroth, Cannibal Corpse, Behemoth or Immortal would perform on Eurovision stage. And i think even several Immortal song lyrics are nicer then her. Perhaps Cannibal Corpse, Gorgoroth and Behemoth has more evil ones.

[@gerardkelsh1011]

I'm sorry you feel that way about the message Bambie was very clear about. How the gay and non-binary community are underrepresented. The anguish of unrequited love and an homage to Ireland's pagan heritage. Any other message would be your interpretation. And I would give more weight to the Irish nation who voted her into Europe and the Eurovision community who put them 6 th out of 46 countries than your censorship ideology

[@seallv4507]

@@gerardkelsh1011 First of all, there are no non-binaries. There is a man and a woman, they make children, thats how human race have always populated the world. Bambie is very talented obviously and i feel the sexual tension in the song, about touching herself, about romance, but i have a feeling that she attributes those things to the devil or demons. I dont see any clear reference to the gay or binaries. She sais things like: 'I guess you'd rather have a star than the moon." To me it looks like a reference to the christianity and witchcraft. For witches moon is very important, lots of magical power(supposedly) is when theres full moon. And star - its sun. Jesus is sun, Lucifer is lightbringer - also often referenced to star. Jesus/Luficer is also attributed to morning star and evening star. 'Avada Kedavra, I speak to destroy' is also a message - with power of witchcraft(and cosorting with demons/imps) i want to destroy - destroy what, unclear. But thats the opening line! So dont give me that pity about that shes defending rights of minority. Shes pure and simple coming out with a statement that she wants to destroy and theres doomsday coming. So shes kinda helping it perhaps even.

[@seallv4507]

​@@gerardkelsh1011 KZbin wont let me write full message what i want. But i think youre wrong. Most likely - Its about christianity and witchcraft - star and a moon. I speak to destroy. This message is pure and simple evil. Perhaps there is some sexual thing in it, but i dont see clear reference what it is about. Perhaps its sex with devils, like the guy who is touching her with big dirty teeth.

[@crystalshardss]

Are you kidding me, This is horrible. How is this representing ireland? Like all the music is supposed to represent its country in the eurovision.
