VOYAGER reacts to Bambie Thug - Doomsday Blue - EUROVISION 2024 🇮🇪

[@Leakampff]

I'm gonna link this video to anyone who even tries to say "tHiS iSn'T eVeN mUsIc iT'S jUsT nOiSe" Look at how actual musicians were able to pick apart all of the musical aspects of this song, and the artistic choices and messaging as well. Thanks for this reaction, so glad yall liked it !!!! #crownthewitch 🇮🇪

[@aleksanderpagels288]

@@JustK4Y1512 well Voyager are literally my favourite Eurovision act ever and love plenty of rock acts in the contest but I don't like Doomsday Blue, there are captivating parts but not enough to make me like it overall.

[@mac_ni_ghairadh]

Whether we win or not this year. I’m just glad Ireland finally took a risk and sent something that will actually stand out amongst the crowd. We haven’t made the final since 2016. Hopefully this’ll be the year we make it back Edit: I meant 2018

Compared to the singing rubber turkey we had a few years ago! Jay's....from one extreme to another!

[@Isoscel]

either Bambie kicked open the doors for metal/risky artists to represent Ireland at ESC, or Ireland won't know what to do in the next editions and they will succumb to the old basic pop entries they 've been sending for years. But i really hope Bambie Thug gave them a lesson and helped them understand that the rest of the world wants to see a proper show on that stage. I voted for Bambie and i'm so happy they finished in top 10. Although i believe they deserved to be in top 5 but you can't have it all.

[@telekouti]

Deep down in my soul there is a hope that all the jury members from all the participating countries are just like you guys.

[@EternalShadow-nn4fn]

I like how they announced Australia’s 12 points to Ireland

[@deadzoo]

Was looking forward to this reaction! Glad you liked it, because Irish eurofans are so proud of Bambie and delighted we’re trying something so different this year. They’ve already been killing the pre party red carpet in Madrid and had a very strong live performance there too. Oh, for Alex, perhaps he could check out some of Bambie’s other songs like Tsunami or Egregore, they’re a bit heavier. Ps. Just to note, we have in fact only sent a turkey puppet once 😭

The moment Australia delivered their 12 points to Ireland was sooo iconic ❤❤❤ I screamed at „crown the witch“ 🤩😁

[@Agju]

Ireland is about the last country i expected to send something like this, kinda like Iceland sending Hatari in 2019. I guess it goes to show, if you wanna try something different in Eurovision, go with goth. lol But this is one of my favorites this year and i kinda like the mood whiplash between the crazy chants and then the, like, old Hollywood singing in the rain type drop for the chorus

[@Dreyno]

Ireland basically invented Halloween as we know it, the author of Dracula was Irish and our folklore is full of banshees and evil faeries. We should be the first country to send something like this.

[@M.b-q-bn]

Agju. Ireland was pagan before Christianity and we still have pagan traditions. For example Halloween is a tradition started in Ireland but the rest of the world copied it. 😅😅

[@ronaldobrien6870]

Thanks so much for the 12 points for Bambie, Danny! We in Ireland will never forget that moment 😄

[@ReggyGDI]

Bambie Thug came 6th in the final and did Ireland proud.

Bambie is loved in Ireland, except for a small group of religious folk, who petitioned the Irish Prime Minister to ban Bambie from entering the contest. Bambie is clever, sweet and funny and can charm anyone.

As a fellow Aussie who loves metal and pagan themes in my music, I really appreciate your analysis Voyager folks. Even if the phrase “doomsday durries” is now stuck in my head. I think Bambie Thug is a breath of fresh air, they’re so musically creative and the official video clip has a lot of humour woven in between the dark themes. My favourites for the Grand Final are Gåte and Bambie Thug. 🤗

[@MelodiaTodoElDia]

If this is what they thought then, I bet they freaked out when they saw the performance live🙌🏼 Best performance ever!

[@plkrtn]

The drop at the chorus, and the change up is just 10/10 production.

[@ESCVerso]

I think I've more or less agreed with all of your collective takes so far. As a complete package, I really do think this is one of the most interesting entries this year and I'd love to see it qualify to the final. As far as what I listen to, though, it's probably not something I prioritize, if I'm being honest (definitely *not* because I'm looking for something harder!). Love the risk Ireland is taking, and I rate this *high* as an artistic endeavor!

I really really love this. This is the stuff my kids and I listen to anyway - and it so clever. And Ireland sent something on the pagan side - so finally they are embracing their own culture. I was just happy to see they didn't send beige. The international jury wanted to send the boy band but the people and the Irish jury loved this and I'm so glad. I love your review of this. It's nice to see an intelligent take on this. Worried that Veronika might compete with it and that's more main stream.
