#Eurovision - Hudba
I didn't say I invented it I said I coined the term 'ouija pop'... I like to mix genres and there's not one genre I stick to so I made a name up for whatever I decide to touch musically. :)
We were very limited in funds and time for this production and a lot of it was DIY...I am an independent artist without any funding, connections or label behind me!
I did my best with the resourced I had. Trust Malmo is going to be an incredible show once we have some money behind us x
We look forward to it and again wish you the best of luck! 💕
I cannot wait to see you on the Eurovision stage and what you'll do there! You're going to be amazing. My favourite song by far.
@@oliviamacarthur18 😬
They just have no taste, no worries. You are the best and #8 now in Odds.
@@DzmitryB373 no taste? There’s a reason this kind of music doesn’t sell records
I'm getting the impression that the staging & styling for 'Doomsday Blue' are still a work in progress. Also, Bambie Thug may well have had to compromise with the Late Late Show producers on this occasion (who tend to have notoriously bad ideas - like making Isabella Kearney hop up and down mid-song for no discernible reason). All Bambie needs now is the financial backing, and maybe a few Tarot consultations with Dita.
For what it’s worth, their encore performance after the result was announced was significantly better!
That's interesting - we'll check it out!
It was? Oh sh!t that's the one I actually caught and thought huh... and I'm that styles demographic
Dirty satanic creep she is
Where can I find this “encore” performance?
Agreed
I'm Irish and it seems most of Ireland is mad about this .. which I like 😂
It's the types of people that enjoy being enraged about something. Tomorrow they will move onto something else in the news lol. Some of the comments are so unhinged they're comical
Honestly, at this rate, getting to the finale would be a big step forward for Ireland! I'd love to one day see my home country win Eurovision in my lifetime 🇮🇪 ... as unlikely as it sometimes sounds
I actually appreciate you saying you watched / listened to the song before reacting to it , most Eurovision reactors are euro fans first and content creators second pretending to give a genuine reaction just so they can share their already made opinion on the song.
There will be a handful of entries we will blind react to but we'll always letcha know either way! 💕
Was at the afterparty where Bambi did a surprise performance and the vocals were A++++++++. Can’t wait to see what they pull together now they have the budget!
im so glad it wasn’t that wannabe one direction boyband that went through😭
personally i love that ireland is going a completely different route and doing the unexpected.
I cant wait for the updated version: the wardrobe, the set, and better mixing/ sound quality
they’ve really got a chance to surprise us with this if they update it - can’t wait for the final product 💕
It wasn't wannabe OneDirection it was wannabe Boyzone.
@@Thecuriousincident1 you’re SO right 💀💀
Yes , our 🇮🇪 national selection was a step up from the last few years ( FINALLY !!!🙄🙄) . It made a big difference NOT wheeling out the same old eurovision Dinosaurs that are clueless as to what eurovision is now . 6 songs is defnitely not enough th select from . TOTALLY should be at least 8 . Lastly and VERY obviously the Late Late show is a COMPLETELY inappropriate platform for our eurovision entry . The audience demographic is not age appropriate . FACT !! The last time we won Eurovision we selected our entry in the point arena . Bambi Thug deserved to win . Very best of luck Bambi 😀👍. Still in shock that the boy band came second 🙄🙄
New grindr bio: mature and expensive is all we want really
I'd personally prefer Go Tobann, and I am happy that the national jury put it as their 2nd option, but I can totally understand it being a harder sell. Bambie can much more easily appeal to Billie Eilish-adjacent fans, and it should give Ireland what they need the most, which is qualification.
International juries having absolutely no taste was malicious tho. Seeing another boy band would put me in a ditch, lmao
The thing with the witches is that they all have very different sonic vibes so they may not canibalise each other
As much as I hate this I am glad they are sending something a bit different! Tho I couldn’t tell you if they will get through or not. It really could be amazing or bomb. I don’t think it will be middle ground
Oh we agree 100% it will do really well or absolutely bomb. But isn't that kind of exciting? 😂💕
Could you do an updated ranking of your favorites at the end of these reaction videos? love you both !!
Great idea!! Will try and remember for Luxembourg!
I hope whoever was in charge of the sound engineering is in a HR performance review on Monday.
RTE are already in a lot of trouble maybe they'll bring that one up in the next public inquiry.
I like the theme of this manic pixie delighting in the end times, almost like they're presenting doomsday as a vaudeville play. But on the main stage it needs fire, it needs a visual gimmick (maybe something like loads of tv stacked on top of each other that show a distorted Barbie in flames ala Inglorious Bastards.) Its bare bones are creative as fuck though so i'm excited for them.
In my opinion this is a great starting point, its certainly memorable which is A-MA-ZING for Ireland, but there needs to be some modifications for it to work. Firstly the choreo and the dress as you said before. And on that last bit, it's kind of a massive release of tension so the staging needs to go all out. You know when sometimes we describe some acts staging as "too much"? Well forget that phrase even exists. We need pyros, smoke, camera shake, lights, EVERYTHING. We need that last section to be BURNED into peoples memories. That and possibly a revamp to make it a bit more should work in Ireland's favour
honestly just happy to be introduced to this artist. right up my kind of witchy street. hope they do well.
The way I’m now all for team Ireland 🇮🇪
US TOO!
@@Novympia CROWN THE WITCH
I’m actually so excited to see/hear your reaction to Bambies performance
They give Emilie Autumn vibes. It felt very early 2000s in places
I definitely think that while our shoddy national final severely limited them, work still needs to be done. Honestly though just getting Bambie selected in the first place was half the battle. While we've sent some horrible songs the past few years RTÉ never seems to skimp on the staging for Eurovision so that'll hugely elevate it. I mean look at how big Brooke's glow up was from Eurosong to Eurovision
The song sounds like when Olympia sang “I don’t, I don’t, I don’t want a tomato” in your Eurovision 2021 video
I wanna see the reaction to this new staging at Malmö
Whoever says they don't care about Eurovision content needs to get with the program. It's the most joyous time of the year fam.
You leave Leila Jane alone 😂
Love the vid. Love you guys. Like the song. LOVE the 10/10 editing towards the end 😂❤
Shhhh we were hoping nobody noticed that 👀😅🙃
Woohoo! Saturday night just got better
I mean I do agree with you guys that the national final stage is very cheap that it doesn’t really do songs this strong & unique justice
But fortunately now that Bambie has gotten through this stage (miraculously I mean), i do believe in Bambie that they’ll make the ESC staging look far more expensive and rich
Ireland is my winner right now (shocked!) lol
As an Irish man lady, I’m so happy we’re sending something that might even have the tiniest bit of chance of qualifying…
Never, no way! I’ll happily apologise if I’m wrong but there’s absolutely no way! This chat have lost there minds 😮
Random pointless fact, one of the writers, Cassyette, is on tour with Bring Me The Horizon
I quite like that something from the more heavy side is on offer - but I agree with Nova 100% on the visuals
I weirdly love the styling actually. Idk what it is about it
Same, I think the tim burton look worked for the late late show
Hahah aww wee Guth and his cries in the background! 😿 Let him in, let him iiiiin!! 😂
SIlly puss
You two are both looking great in this 😍 nice review, i like the entry
It’s giving Dragula Floorshow song
The real fans love your Eurovision content ❤
I'm quite intrigued by Bambie. However, i just find it hard to enjoy songs with metal/screaming elements. 😆
I’m so proud of this entry! Bambi is an independent artist, so I’ve no doubt on the malmö stage the outfit and whole presentation won’t look so cheap! So excited for this
Cool. I like the “faves and shitters” video. Look forward to seeing it. ❤
I think Bambie came with quite a comprehensive package compared to most last night. Its important to note, they dont have a label behind them so everything was pretty much DIY. As an Irish Eurovision fan I'm quite confident as i feel that they have an artistic direction for the song and hopefully RTE will give them additional resources and money needed to translate it to the big stage. Ive never felt this positive about an Irish act in years, probably since Jedward.
I think it was clever of them to go disneyesque/ tim burtonesque for the late late show, as its more accessible to the irish grannies at home watching. Brooke cutsied it up too for that very reason and brought the sass to Eurovision .
All in all im very excited for malmo
Ok but what about the song? How do you improve such an awful song??
This will 100% never qualify, unless there’s equally more horrendous songs in the same semi
I actually like the song and have been streaming it quite a lot. I get that it is polarising though but that's not necessarily a bad thing... Ireland typically sends non offensive pop but that doesn't entice people to pick up the phone and vote
@@SarahMargaretMullen no they send shit pop! Big difference. So because they can’t send quality they send something crazy?! They might aswell send Dustin the Turkey again 🤯
If you don't like the song, that's grand. There's no need to be rude. There are people behind the songs. Music is subjective. Bambie's performance is quality to myself and other people, but there are people who don't like it, which is fine. Maybe turn over to a different song you like and live your life. Peace ✌
@@goonerbean4680I actually quite like the song, best thing we’ve sent in years, I usually don’t give a fuck about Eurovision but I was pleasantly surprised by this track
I think it has a bit of a Pvris vibe to it, specifically “Gimme a minute” 12:32 nothing wrong with that, but just on the subject of genres and influences x
i shit you not !! i’m walking around my neighborhood watching this video right now and what do i see in the windowsill of my local toy store- *a magic mixie* (i cannot escape, help)
I agree the outfit was a bit A Level Fashion design course work. It absolutrly needs better styling and strong staging, but it is definitely a big risk. I will be interested to see how it places in the finals.
You scared me, for a second I thought it's Sunday 😂
Thank you for knowing. I absolutely adore you two beyond the words. Once more you’ve saved my day and night. Thank you both so so much. Please keep on shining your exceptionally vital,precious,beautiful light. 🙂💖⭐️
Yay! A new video 🥳🥳🥳🥳
I had to go watch the full song on a commercial TV channel and the production values were so bad I needed subtitles, I still don't know if I like it
Bambie Thug doing eurovision???? As a fan of them I'm genuinely so shocked lol- hope they perform kawasaki mwahahahaaaa
I love the song and performance for sure, but also with this and Switzerland I'm pretty stoked at the enby representation this year!
I really hope for the upgrading for Malmo they go more of the direction of the dancer's costumes than Bambi's costume.
Leaning too much on literal witch is too boring. I think something more contemporary horror fashion needs to happen.
The dancers costumes done in a latex or leather rather than the spandexy material would be dope.
I genuinely think this has SO much potential, RTE are so shite with how they show these for eurosong.
But the fact that I can even talk like this about my country's entry FINALLLLLY is amazing. So glad the Irish public and jury are behind this act. 🇮🇪
I saw Alesia read out your guys comment during her live reaction to this song (which was a nice surprise).
I’m not a fan of this song as much. Bambi is fantastic, and I love their vision and uniqueness, but this song feels like the longest three minutes lol 😂 the pacing between metal and softness makes it feel like I’m listening to different songs. It definitely deserves to make the final though.
Loved the video ❤ I recommend listening to their song titled Tsunami (11:11)!
she gives me billie eilish x ashnikko vibes im excited to see what she brings to the stage!!
UK people can vote in NRK if you make an account on their website
Thank you about the outfit. i even thought it was bought in the shop but apparently not.
As a dumb American i quite like the Eurovision content! Keep it coming!
Loving this Gåte appreciation! 💖
Aesthetically I am digging it, but I certainly won't be picking that one to listen to.
fun to watch
What’s funny is everyone is critiquing the staging and the sound it’s important to note that RTÉ is going through a lot of scandals at the moment and financial issues.
I'm obsessed with it, very witchy poo 🇮🇪🌟
The song is there for me but the staging and the outfit are not doing it for me. But this can all be changed and improved on by May. Hopeful for Ireland
I got end of talk show performance vibes, but I absolutely love their style. They just need a bit of refinement
This season is definitely the season of the witches 🔮✨
What an episode!!! TPK, mad mechanics, this is an insanely good season of D20 🤩🤩
❤ it… a straight 12 from Zürich 🇨🇭
ughhhhhh nova ur so cute in boy makeup!!!
and olympia did boy makeup sometime last year for the eurovision tripp and looked soooo cute too!!!
As a part of the Gothic scene I have to love this and to celebrate ecstatically, because Bambie Thug is giving us alternative people a voice and is speaking out for those who are different - not only in their musical tastes, but also in their worldviews and lifestyles. "Doomsday Blue" as a composition already delivers everything a lover of dark, enigmatic and slightly progressive music could ever dream of: The fusion of mesmerizing genres that originally shouldn't fit together but create a perfect mélange in these three minutes of the most beautiful fever dream, screams that are piercing marrow and bone, clean vocals that will haunt me at day and night even decades after Eurovision 2024, pulsating electronica that almost sound like they're emerging from a demonic realm, and a grand finale smashing the earth with heaviness and high energy!🖤⛧✨️🌙 # sendthewitch was successful , and I'm being honest when I say that I was bursting into tears when the results came in! Eurovision definitely needs diversity and outstanding acts, not only mainstream pop, and here we have some of the most special and profound art, evoked by an insanely creative, impressively passionate and instantly touching human being. Bambie was touching my soul through the screen, even in all the interviews - but the performance exceeded my expectations even on this small national final stage. Just imagine how this will look like on the big stage!🔥 I couldn't be happier: Not only to be represented and to have a voice I can wholeheartedly identify with at Eurovision, but also because Bambie deserves it. Everyone saw how well-deserved this victory was: On stage and off stage. The crowd was on fire for "Doomsday Blue"! And if I say that this is one of my happiest days in life, I don't exaggerate. This is not just another Eurovision act for me, this is an act that is expressing who I am. Bambie, CAST THE SPELL OVER MALMÖ!🖤✨️🌙⛧
For Eurovision-philes (what’s the word? Ireland holds the track record of the most wins along side Sweden as well as the most wins with the same artist - Ireland Johnny Logan and Sweden Loreen… however Johnny Logan beats Loreen as Johnny wrote a winning song for Ireland too sung by Linda Martin.
Ireland won in 1992, 1993, 1994, and again in 1996!!!!!
We also produced Riverdance as our interval act in 1994 - no country has managed an interval act like Riverdance.
I love the end they are so happy and they are so great I'm really glad they made it I agree the runes just set it off
There’s so much going on with the song and styling that they’re giving me Ariel “I’m not a number, I’m a person” from the X Factor auditions
It almost feels like a full dress rehearsal and the sound is off
I saw them live in 2022 (as the opener for cassyette, who has a writing credit on the song) and they captivated me completely
Give them good vocal mixing and enough of a budget and they're gonna be at least top 5 in malmö
Don’t ever take national final stagings and stylings too seriously. It’s supposed to be cheaper by default. If Bambie Thug sold it enough that the Irish people are willing to make it their representative, then the delegation can invest more time and money in making it the best presentation it could be in Malmo.
bambi thug: sponsored by demonia!
First of all let me say I love this song and the performance and the vocals are awesome!!
Because it was mentioned here in the beginning: how am I supposed to know with listening to a song or seeing a performance, that someone identifies as they/them? It's a genuine question. I don't want to offend anybody but how am I supposed to know?
Really hope Bambie's team doesn't make them strip it back for the finale.
On the D'Arcy show, they said it was already been reworked
Yep. Nova's on point, sounds a lot like Billie Eilish's vibes. I even checked other song from them and nope, there are a lot of girls doing this kind of sound since Billie blew up! But it still is very interesting even though they need some inspiration from Maria Brink/In This Moment at the present time... Pagan it up!!!
Besides both being alternative queer act, I hear nothing sounding like billie eilish. When has Billie death screamed in a song? I think it's a very loose comparison at best
I love this ❤❤❤❤
Did Char edit this one?
We made a quick last minute edit and it apparently upset the project timeline 🫠
I really liked the song and there's so much potential with the performance. I do feel the styling of the outfit was a bit dated but with money and someone who understands their vision to scale the staging up to Eurovision I think it could be brilliant.
im sure bambies staging will be great in malmo, given how much brooke's staging improved from eurosong to turin
I wonder what the TDOF mean? (those are the runes that cycle on the screen) 🤔
I dont hate it, think it needs a lot of work though. Bambie doesnt need to be moving around so much, styling could be better. But this could be really good if they put the work into it.
Nova is spot on with the billie eilish point, and as a huge fan of hers i am delighted, so excited forbmbie, theyre gonna slay
I enjoyed the Fáilte at the end ❤ 🇮🇪
Don't love this song but I just wanted to say in response to you mentioning that people complain about the eurovision content, I would still watch even if eurovision was a replacement for your usual content, heck I'd watch if all you did was just cover eurovision on this channel ! I adore your content to bits and always will!
i was not that into the song and im still not into it, but at least its not the boring ass boy band, and its new and different (for ireland) i dont see em winning but i do see this finally putting the engine in the right direction for ireland, they do need to change their national selection asap cause this is not it
I think it's decent. I look forward to seeing what they do with it
kyary pamyu pamyu found scalped…
I think the staging issues will be ironed out because for some reason, no matter how poor their songs are, Ireland always seems to be able to stage quite well.
When the Billie Eilish receipts came up I just knew Nova was editing this one
😅
🩷🩵💜💚🖤
We need Dita's reaction!
Funny you compared her to Disney, 'cause I kept thinking that her backup dancers looks like heartless from Kingdom Hearts 😂
That's what we go on to say - I have some Heartless from Kingdom Hearts tattooed on my arm 💕
CALL THE OUT NOVA CALL THE OUT! haha 🙂
Oh, ive actually heard of them lol. Thats strange
I just call everybody they/them unless I know for sure.
Ha ha ❤
Totally wild! I wish Sinead O'Connor was here to see it. Maybe not her kinda vibe, but I think maybe she would've liked to have seen something so Pagan come from Ireland? I'm probably talking out my arse.
Hi, if you are interested to know the more correct way to pronounce that witchy "Justyna" form Poland, then the "JU-" part is more of like "you/yew", not "just", so it's "you-sti-nah". Have a nice day, love ya
Thankyou! 💕
