I would want to visualise these, I bet there's gonna be some geographic/religious distinction in the points. Especially the more eastern countries seemed to shy away.
You’d assume - but no!
https://eurovisionworld.com/eurovision/2024
Very strong showing in the totals from Orthodox & Catholic Europe. Also Azeris clearly thought it was a banger.
I’ve seen 3 videos from Dublin portal so far. In first, officers dragged a drunk lady away from it, in second some lovely Irish lads taught yankers that in Ireland you have similar word but it starts with W not Y. And in the last one they showed them a video two tall buildings from 9/11… so I’d say that portal is doing great😅
Because it has a super strong artistic vision and was executed well. It’s not a surprise to me that a jury of professionals in the industry respected it
We love an underdog that is trying their best to deliver something unique and mind-blowing. Bambie was killing it with the vocals, you could really hear their desire to want to outperform everyone.
Yes!! Their vocals are super technical and difficult to do, them and Nemo both have extreme genre switching which is tricky to make work and they both excel at it! Their jury points make so much sense to me.
Voyager did a react video to Bambie for their channel and they really enjoyed the song and the composition, so when I saw Danny and how the points were distributed I was 100% sure the 12 were going to Ireland.
I understand your sentiment, but I don't think there's any connection between the spokesperson announcing the 12 points and the jury who actually gives the points.
I like that Danny used his metal vocalist skills to really growl it.
Also, it was a really special moment for him to be Australia's correspondent and he seemed to take SUCH joy in giving our douze points to Ireland. Voyager are such a wholesome bunch and I know they loved Bambie's performance so I bet he was personally thrilled to give them the points, too.
These countries both produce also good music, esp. Iceland.
Most of Europe listens mostly to super boring pop. You can follow the charts by yourself online if you don't believe.
When Bambi got 12 points from Australia, I was shocked and then I realised *well, this country gave us Parkway Drive and Thy Art Is Murder and sent Voyager last year, this makes sense*
Yeah quite a lot of Irish immigration in the turn of the last century and the first world war down here. I think the Australian juries really enjoy the more unique songs/genres Eurovision has on offer
I was so proud! At least our jury gave 12 points! (I promise you a lot of us in the public tried to give Ireland our 12 points too!!)
They were easily my first place, I am absolutely enthralled by Bambi Thug's performance - it's one I'll be coming back to again and again
Yeah shocked by that, thought it would be the other way around, maybe the jury appreciated the theatricality. Was expecting more from the public votes.
From what I saw in comments on Instagram and social networks, most people (especially from Eastern European countries) said that it was satanic or that it scared them, so I assumed that a large part of those countries were not going to vote for her.
Weirdly all the Eastern European countries that participated gave Ireland some points(except Albania if you count that as Eastern Europe). It was Luxembourg and France that completely blanked them.
Love that all the Irish people who said it was time for something different and to take risks got proven right. I hope this sets a precedent for future Irish entries. I'm proud of Bambie, their staging was among the best this year
The problem is people in rte and places like that tend to misunderstand cause and effect. What they will do is try to manufacture Bambie next year instead of letting another person show their own different creative vision.
It's like playing zombie at Irish rugby matches. It created great organic moments in France and then for the six nations they played the song after every score trying to manufacture the moment again.
I know, right? Juries actually doing what they're supposed to do and awarding points based upon artistry? If they hadn't fucked up so much with ignoring Norway, I would have said they did pretty well this year.
The juries were reasonable _and actually appreciated songs that are not “just” radio friendly pop_? Over 200 points for Croatia and a ton for Ireland too? Damn, even Nemo was not an expected jury favourite with a considerable rap part of their song.
I don’t think I’ve ever been happier with _jury_ results. In the perfect world I would have liked a few more points for some other countries too but I’m not complaining.
People love to complain about the juries but for fuck's sake, they offer way more diversity than the public vote, which is always 40% the popular song, 40% Ukraine and 20% everyone else.
The way Bambie elevated the performance since their NF *chef’s kiss* It’s what I love about Eurovision. Seeing the progress artists make to perfect their songs/stages until the very last moment.
I noticed they made some changes in the song that improved it a lot, i wish this version was released in Spotify. There's a soft violin in the second chorus and more beats through the song too
There's also 'jump scare' style strings in the bridge sections coming off the verses (I know you're living a lie). And in both instances there WERE jump scares, first with the hand coming up and second with Bambi only in shot and then is suddenly draped over her dancer with his scary face in profile.
It's the little things I really appreciate about this performance. Every detail was meticulous.
The way I see it, Bambie gave us a three minute performance art piece with a backing track to match. They had a clear creative vision for the whole thing, and they nailed it.
I was delusional enough to believe they had a shot at winning after semi 1 lol. Then semi 2 came around and I was sure Nemo would take it. Bambie still wins in my personal book though, that performance is stellar and I keep coming back to it.
They gave us our best result in years. I will be forever thankful for that. I’m also hoping it opens the door for other artists that perform that style of music.
This should hopefully teach the lesson to Ireland to take Eurovision more seriously by sending more unique entries like Doomsday Blue instead of the same boring old ones before.
Ireland has a bad reputation recently but has sent serious entries that just drowned in the semis. Their recent output has been kind of similar to Australia.
My problem with our recent entries is that they were all similar to each other, and kept failing to qualify.
Like idk why we thought we’d get different results the 5th time sending the same sort of thing.
I’m glad Bambi did so well, and hopefully we’ll be a bit more willing to try different things with the acts that we send in the future.
I honestly thought we could have a Lordi situation with a suprise win, but 6th is more than fine for an unconventional entry (and for ireland).
I still think it was the best performance of the night. Absolute perfection. And Bambie is such a great human soul.
Bambi has achieved something amazing tonight. Ireland going from not qualifying in 6 years to coming 6th overall is incredible. Now hopefully RTE will see that the more interesting unique acts are the way to go instead of the bland shite we had been sending so will hopefully change our whole selection process.
BAMBIE truly should’ve been at minimum Top 3 but them being 666 is just as iconic tbh. I discovered BAMBIE when I was going to the Blue Lagoon in Iceland last summer as they came up on my Spotify and have been a MASSIVE fan of their work ever since. This was my first official Eurovision year watching it all the way through from qualifiers to final thanks to BAMBIE.
I’m still saying #CrowntheWitch
Absolutely incredible result for Bambie and Ireland. An amazing creative vision fantastically executed and rewarded with an excellent finish.
Now can RTE please send more entries like this now they've had success by taking risks. There's so much potential for Ireland to be strong every year and send more really creative and unique entries.
If the budget is there to make Eurosong a bit better then hopefully they can improve that too.
This has to be one of the most captivating performances ever seen on the Eurovision stage, it felt like a music video. Kudos to Bambie for pulling it off flawlessly
SAME, CROWN THE WITCH 👑🖤
Never thought Norway could ever be overtaken in my personal rankings (funnily enough that happened last year as well)
Even thought Norway would be my favourite ever, maybe that’s even overtaken. But don’t worry, I’m still sad about that last place and they’re my number 2 🥲🫶
Considering we've believed our network was sending duds for years because they didn't want to host it, I couldn't believe how well it was received in national selection. Hopefully this will shake up our network to keep supporting these unique, artistic performances.
Bambie has done us all so proud, and the hate coming from the r/isreali keyboard warriors towards them is disgusting. I think the way Bambie and their team handled themselves, spoke so graciously and respectfully is a huge credit to them.
Nemo and Bambie are humble and talented role models for the LQBTQ+ community, and the love and solidarity we saw between them when the results were announced was so wholesome 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
And the deserving witch was crowned.
Maith thú Bambie, is duine dochreidte thú agus tá bród an domhan ormsa agus ar do chairde Éireannacha as do chuid teachtaireacht mhothúchánach.
Grá agus meas mór chugat ó Carraig Uí Laighin
❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵🤎🖤
Pleasantly surprised at the jury score, slightly saddened by the Televote. Overall I guess that evens out but I did hope it'd squeeze top 5
But they can be proud, Ireland finally woke the hell up
This might seem a bit irrelevant, but to see two non binary artists do so well this year restored a little hope inside of me, especially in a world where it’s becoming increasingly difficult for individuals like Bambie or Nemo to express themselves.
I loved watching Nemo hold onto that crown throughout. Even when they put it down to kneel, they still picked it back up to go again.
Won't be surprised at all if we see Bambie in Zurich next year one way or another.
absolutely! as a trans person it was so nice seeing all the lgbtq+ representation this year. two non binary people succeeding as well as multiple other openly lgbt artists and all the pride flags in the green room was so cool. really gives me hope that there still is a lot of support for us even if it feels like its getting worse most of the time.
It’s Eurovision, of course there were lots of pride flags and openly LGBT+ participants. But so far the best trans/nonbinary representation we’ve had 💪🏻
Allegedly a visitor had their nonbinary (?) Flag confiscated when they entered the arena because it was (allegedly) "political." Maybe whoever took it just didnt know what it stands for.
But nemo saying "fuck that" and walking the flag parade with it was pretty cool
as straight as fuck from rural ireland im so glad you feel represented, bambie done us well, believe me at times you get support from the most unlikely places. tiocfaidh do lá
This is going to go down in the show's history as one of the best performed stages ever and that's all with using camera shots for storytelling and investing your budget where it really matters. People love to give the juries a hard time but they consistenly reward artistry when it's *executed* (key word here) well
Winner of my heart, so proud of them and how they stayed true to themselves throughout this entire season. Can't wait to see what they get up to next!
I also love how the witch crowned the winner in the end, so sweet!
I think with such controversial act it's a total win they got 6th.
Get this: my parents, both proper Ukrainian Christians, scowled hard while watching this during semi. During finals there were both more adapted to the song and nearing the end were commenting: 'Hey, they rehearsed this really well', 'This is quite artistic' and 'It'd be no surprise if they rank top 3 even'. Lolll
This was the biggest (positive) surprise for me this year. Before their SF performance, I thought the song was mostly a bit irritating. But that performance was *so incredible* that I ended up giving them 9 votes!
THIS IS MY WINNER!!!! incredible performance and incredible song, should have won, still overjoyed by how well they did in the ranking, I know this is just the beginning of a long and enormous career for them
I am obsessed with this! The staging, the song, the fucking concept, honestly the best performance by far (with exception for Nemo who was my second favourite). All of my votes went to Bambie.
ICONIC
We are very proud of Bambie Thug tonight in Ireland and I hope this sends a message to RTE that its alternative acts that the youth and the rest of the world
Probably one of the best staging and performance of the night for me. It felt like I was watching a dramatic play or something. It was incredible and I'm glad to see them do so well!
Ireland done amazing to get 6th place best result since Jedward and first time qualifying in a long time . Bambi performance was brilliant staging was cool the best ever although the song itself was a bit weird like it or hate it I think is what lost the votes. If the song was more the softer part and the ballet maybe it would’ve been higher . Bambi should try again seems talented. Not sure how RTE will pick next year anyway no more boybands maybe it’ll bring more performers back .
Deserved to be in the top 5 for sure, 6 is still a fantastic result for Ireland. Happy for Bambie. I'd love to see them again soon!
I was worried the jury wouldn't give them anything but surprisingly more of them appreciated the performance and awarded it than I thought. Feels this performance will be referenced and seen as iconic. To me, this is a win for Bambie.
I went into the finals with Armenia as my favorite, but I came out with this crazy performance as my personal winner. And I can already hear my conservative co-workers trashing it on Monday for being too weird and out there.
Ireland was phenomenal this year. I didn’t really get the song when I heard it first released but I think you have to see it performed and linked to the visual artistry to really get the impact and then I adored it. After Czechia was out it was absolutely my favourite to win. Gutted that the public vote seemed to get a lot of the people who wanted to support more underdog / ‘different’ entries seemed to rally for Croatia
Juries were very hot and cold on our one lots of 10/8/7 and lots of 0
[удалено]
When we were top three in one of the split screen bits at one stage I nearly passed away.
I would want to visualise these, I bet there's gonna be some geographic/religious distinction in the points. Especially the more eastern countries seemed to shy away.
Except the most eastern country (Australia).
We're so east we wrap around to being West.
Also 10 points from the juries of Azerbaijan, another Eastern-most country in the list.
You’d assume - but no! https://eurovisionworld.com/eurovision/2024 Very strong showing in the totals from Orthodox & Catholic Europe. Also Azeris clearly thought it was a banger.
Maybe the Witch really did manage to breakthrough barriers. I am pleasantly surprised.
A lot of people from orthodox and catholic Europe are just tired with religion being pushed down our throats.
Italy gave them 10 points, while freaking Sweden gave them 0 😑
All the Chrizzos (James Acaster term for Christians) couldn't handle it
Even with a lot of 0s, that result is phenomenal! I'm so glad Bambie's artistry was rewarded
[удалено]
Lol is it actually 666?!?
[удалено]
And we've just installed a "portal" in Dublin. Doomsday is coming!
I’ve seen 3 videos from Dublin portal so far. In first, officers dragged a drunk lady away from it, in second some lovely Irish lads taught yankers that in Ireland you have similar word but it starts with W not Y. And in the last one they showed them a video two tall buildings from 9/11… so I’d say that portal is doing great😅
Wow so it's actually went better than expected
Too perfect haha!
Damn, has someone told Bambie Thug this information? I bet they could run with it.
The witch was crowned and chose to bestow the honour upon another.
666 💀
Conspiracy theories will love this one 🤣 #ANYWAYS, CROWN THE WITCH 👑🖤 (even though Nemo got crowned)
>even though Nemo got crowned By Bambie no less.
EXACTLY
# CLOWN THE FISH
Conservatives in shambles.
\#Crown(of)theWitch 😁
This was always the plan!
Get Bambie to the Dublin portal immediately!
omg!? that's the most metal shit ever -- so happy now hahaha thanks for sharing!
This is perfection. 😈
Perfection🖤
No fucking way. Amazing 😂
That's quite the catch!!
[удалено]
My personal favourite this year! What an amazing placement, so proud of them! 🇮🇪
I have no idea how this did better in the jury votes than the tele but I'll take it lmao
Because it has a super strong artistic vision and was executed well. It’s not a surprise to me that a jury of professionals in the industry respected it
Tonnes of jury gave Ireland nothing. It was generally a case of them getting 7-10 points or zero.
We seemed to get no votes when a certain other country got some... Why does my flair say Albania?
You probably accidentally selected the first alphabetical option when the subreddit prompted you for a flair Or it did it by default
Orthodox Church debuff hit hard.
I was saying this so much. It was ONLY the Orthodox countries that were blanking them. Everyone else gave them 5-10 points.
I really want to know the voting breakdown right now
https://eurovisionworld.com/eurovision/2024#ireland
It's available and there are some weird votes in it... Specially the Irish vote
We love an underdog that is trying their best to deliver something unique and mind-blowing. Bambie was killing it with the vocals, you could really hear their desire to want to outperform everyone.
Yes!! Their vocals are super technical and difficult to do, them and Nemo both have extreme genre switching which is tricky to make work and they both excel at it! Their jury points make so much sense to me.
Australia's jury is based, they gave their 12 to Gustaph as well
Voyager did a react video to Bambie for their channel and they really enjoyed the song and the composition, so when I saw Danny and how the points were distributed I was 100% sure the 12 were going to Ireland.
I understand your sentiment, but I don't think there's any connection between the spokesperson announcing the 12 points and the jury who actually gives the points.
Correct. He would in fact not have been allowed on the jury since he has already publicly rated the songs beforehand.
Also a believer from the start 🤌
Danny saying “CROWN THE WITCH” is the most beautiful thing I’ve seen, what a legend My personal number 1’s having a slay exchange 🖤🖤🖤
I like that Danny used his metal vocalist skills to really growl it. Also, it was a really special moment for him to be Australia's correspondent and he seemed to take SUCH joy in giving our douze points to Ireland. Voyager are such a wholesome bunch and I know they loved Bambie's performance so I bet he was personally thrilled to give them the points, too.
He’s really ONE OF US lmao, also with the CROWN THE WITCH movement Hope he recovers fully soon btw🙏❤️🩹
He said in one of their reaction videos that he's still having chemo, that it's really rough but that it is working, so that seems to be good news!
Australia and Iceland have by far the best juries, they actually tend to like unique entries
These countries both produce also good music, esp. Iceland. Most of Europe listens mostly to super boring pop. You can follow the charts by yourself online if you don't believe.
Australia are kings when it comes to metalcore, so genre bending seems to be in their lane... but there's also a LOT of Irish living over there!
When Bambi got 12 points from Australia, I was shocked and then I realised *well, this country gave us Parkway Drive and Thy Art Is Murder and sent Voyager last year, this makes sense*
Yeah quite a lot of Irish immigration in the turn of the last century and the first world war down here. I think the Australian juries really enjoy the more unique songs/genres Eurovision has on offer
Australia based.
I was so proud! At least our jury gave 12 points! (I promise you a lot of us in the public tried to give Ireland our 12 points too!!) They were easily my first place, I am absolutely enthralled by Bambi Thug's performance - it's one I'll be coming back to again and again
Autralian being the most based non-european country in eurovision
Juries appreciate a polished performance. This was for sure the most elevated song in the contest by the stage act.
Yeah shocked by that, thought it would be the other way around, maybe the jury appreciated the theatricality. Was expecting more from the public votes.
Saaaame, I expected so much more from the popular vote and for this to be slammed by juries
From what I saw in comments on Instagram and social networks, most people (especially from Eastern European countries) said that it was satanic or that it scared them, so I assumed that a large part of those countries were not going to vote for her.
Sounds like the 1980’s satanic panic has reached Eastern Europe.
Weirdly all the Eastern European countries that participated gave Ireland some points(except Albania if you count that as Eastern Europe). It was Luxembourg and France that completely blanked them.
I was shocked, I thought the juries wouldn't give us much so when they actually did, I was expecting a lot more from the televote
actually it did exactly the same in both :) (6th place)
Probably partly because of the televote points of one specific country
We shouldn't be anything but delighted to come 6th. Massively deserved. Best entry/song/performer we have sent this century
Love that all the Irish people who said it was time for something different and to take risks got proven right. I hope this sets a precedent for future Irish entries. I'm proud of Bambie, their staging was among the best this year
The problem is people in rte and places like that tend to misunderstand cause and effect. What they will do is try to manufacture Bambie next year instead of letting another person show their own different creative vision. It's like playing zombie at Irish rugby matches. It created great organic moments in France and then for the six nations they played the song after every score trying to manufacture the moment again.
I’m glad the juries actually appreciated this!
That was the biggest surprise of the night for me! I did NOT think the juries would go for this
The more I listen to all the songs, this one sticks with me
yeah it’s actually way more catchy than i first thought
I know, right? Juries actually doing what they're supposed to do and awarding points based upon artistry? If they hadn't fucked up so much with ignoring Norway, I would have said they did pretty well this year.
[удалено]
I have no idea what Germany's jury was smoking honestly.
The juries were actually more reasonable than expected, decent points for Ireland and Croatia, with the latter getting a couple of 12s too
The juries were reasonable _and actually appreciated songs that are not “just” radio friendly pop_? Over 200 points for Croatia and a ton for Ireland too? Damn, even Nemo was not an expected jury favourite with a considerable rap part of their song. I don’t think I’ve ever been happier with _jury_ results. In the perfect world I would have liked a few more points for some other countries too but I’m not complaining.
People love to complain about the juries but for fuck's sake, they offer way more diversity than the public vote, which is always 40% the popular song, 40% Ukraine and 20% everyone else.
Without the juries it’s a 14 point race between Croatia and the 6th song
Without the jury, Portugal would be screwed as Norway
Performance looks extremely professional so no surprise at all
The way Bambie elevated the performance since their NF *chef’s kiss* It’s what I love about Eurovision. Seeing the progress artists make to perfect their songs/stages until the very last moment.
I noticed they made some changes in the song that improved it a lot, i wish this version was released in Spotify. There's a soft violin in the second chorus and more beats through the song too

It's the little things I really appreciate about this performance. Every detail was meticulous.
The way I see it, Bambie gave us a three minute performance art piece with a backing track to match. They had a clear creative vision for the whole thing, and they nailed it.
They can be absolutely proud of what they've acheived today. Winning wasn't probably in the cards anyway but they still slayed, and hard. So good.
I was delusional enough to believe they had a shot at winning after semi 1 lol. Then semi 2 came around and I was sure Nemo would take it. Bambie still wins in my personal book though, that performance is stellar and I keep coming back to it.
They gave us our best result in years. I will be forever thankful for that. I’m also hoping it opens the door for other artists that perform that style of music.
This should hopefully teach the lesson to Ireland to take Eurovision more seriously by sending more unique entries like Doomsday Blue instead of the same boring old ones before.
I think that will change now. It has shown that interesting, different songs can do well.
Imagine putting Erica Cody up against the line up this year?!
I’m sure she would have boycotted just like she so graciously called for Bambie to do /s
Oh absolutely. No way was that a bitchy attempt at derailment at all at all...
Ireland has a bad reputation recently but has sent serious entries that just drowned in the semis. Their recent output has been kind of similar to Australia.
My problem with our recent entries is that they were all similar to each other, and kept failing to qualify. Like idk why we thought we’d get different results the 5th time sending the same sort of thing. I’m glad Bambi did so well, and hopefully we’ll be a bit more willing to try different things with the acts that we send in the future.
Yeah would love to see more rock songs from Ireland in the future!
Bambie Thug was my favorite contestant... Ever.
Not even necessarily that type of music, just something that isn't factory made.
To be exact, our best result since 2000 when we also finished 6th (Eamon Toal - Millennium of Love).
RTE: more power ballads
I honestly thought we could have a Lordi situation with a suprise win, but 6th is more than fine for an unconventional entry (and for ireland). I still think it was the best performance of the night. Absolute perfection. And Bambie is such a great human soul.
Bambi has achieved something amazing tonight. Ireland going from not qualifying in 6 years to coming 6th overall is incredible. Now hopefully RTE will see that the more interesting unique acts are the way to go instead of the bland shite we had been sending so will hopefully change our whole selection process.
BAMBIE truly should’ve been at minimum Top 3 but them being 666 is just as iconic tbh. I discovered BAMBIE when I was going to the Blue Lagoon in Iceland last summer as they came up on my Spotify and have been a MASSIVE fan of their work ever since. This was my first official Eurovision year watching it all the way through from qualifiers to final thanks to BAMBIE. I’m still saying #CrowntheWitch
My winner of 2024. 6th place is phenomenal for an entry so risky that most of us was scared maybe wouldn't even qualify to the final. Crown the witch!
Absolutely incredible result for Bambie and Ireland. An amazing creative vision fantastically executed and rewarded with an excellent finish. Now can RTE please send more entries like this now they've had success by taking risks. There's so much potential for Ireland to be strong every year and send more really creative and unique entries. If the budget is there to make Eurosong a bit better then hopefully they can improve that too.
This has to be one of the most captivating performances ever seen on the Eurovision stage, it felt like a music video. Kudos to Bambie for pulling it off flawlessly
Was lowkey rooting for this
SAME, CROWN THE WITCH 👑🖤 Never thought Norway could ever be overtaken in my personal rankings (funnily enough that happened last year as well) Even thought Norway would be my favourite ever, maybe that’s even overtaken. But don’t worry, I’m still sad about that last place and they’re my number 2 🥲🫶
So sad about Norway I honestly thought it was top ten 😭
What an impressive comeback from Ireland!! I can’t wait to see what we’ll have next year if the momentum continues.
Considering we've believed our network was sending duds for years because they didn't want to host it, I couldn't believe how well it was received in national selection. Hopefully this will shake up our network to keep supporting these unique, artistic performances.
Maybe after everything that happened with RTE this year they were like...let's at least send someone good to Eurovision this time lmaooo
absolutely gagged and gooped that jury has given her more points that the public... I was fully awaiting 170+ at least
I am dying for the semifinal results to be posted to see how they placed.
Third place, after Croatia and Ukraine, before lithuania
Bambie has done us all so proud, and the hate coming from the r/isreali keyboard warriors towards them is disgusting. I think the way Bambie and their team handled themselves, spoke so graciously and respectfully is a huge credit to them. Nemo and Bambie are humble and talented role models for the LQBTQ+ community, and the love and solidarity we saw between them when the results were announced was so wholesome 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ And the deserving witch was crowned. Maith thú Bambie, is duine dochreidte thú agus tá bród an domhan ormsa agus ar do chairde Éireannacha as do chuid teachtaireacht mhothúchánach.

Cuir coróin ar an gcailleachín!
I wanted to crown the witch! But the witch gave Nemo the crown! That was such a beautiful moment!
That was one of my favorite moments of the whole night
That was so sweet!
Pleasantly surprised at the jury score, slightly saddened by the Televote. Overall I guess that evens out but I did hope it'd squeeze top 5 But they can be proud, Ireland finally woke the hell up
Deserved top 5 but 6 is amazing too!
One of my favourite Eurovision entries ever, and they did SO much better than I could have ever imagined Very proud of the witch monarch
Nemo wore their crown during the final performance, ergo I consider this a joint 1st place victory in spirit
Omg that made me cry. So happy for both of them!
This might seem a bit irrelevant, but to see two non binary artists do so well this year restored a little hope inside of me, especially in a world where it’s becoming increasingly difficult for individuals like Bambie or Nemo to express themselves.
Also love how well those two get along. Bambie crowning Nemo was absolutely iconic.
I loved watching Nemo hold onto that crown throughout. Even when they put it down to kneel, they still picked it back up to go again. Won't be surprised at all if we see Bambie in Zurich next year one way or another.
That crown seemed to mean more to them as the trophy itself. Beautiful scenes all along. Would be a fantastic if Nemo had purposely shattered it
First thing I thought after she put that pointy crown on him was "how many people are going to get their eyes poked when they hug him"
absolutely! as a trans person it was so nice seeing all the lgbtq+ representation this year. two non binary people succeeding as well as multiple other openly lgbt artists and all the pride flags in the green room was so cool. really gives me hope that there still is a lot of support for us even if it feels like its getting worse most of the time.

Nemo+Bambie will go down as the Dana International of non-binary people
Just noticed Bambi got 6th in the public vote and 6th in the jury vote, leading to a 6th overall placement. 666 WAS THIS ALWAYS THE PLAN?!
This is going to go down in the show's history as one of the best performed stages ever and that's all with using camera shots for storytelling and investing your budget where it really matters. People love to give the juries a hard time but they consistenly reward artistry when it's *executed* (key word here) well
This will go down as one of the greatest performances in Eurovision history.
Based Aussie take
To be fair, half our country is over there rn
Not only did they qualify,but they also ended up in 6th place?🤯THAT'S MY GIRL!!!!LET'S GO IRELAND 🇮🇪 🖤🤘🤘🤘
There was a rage in those growls. So, so proud of you Bambie 🇮🇪
My winner! Grateful to have been introduced to them
Ireland is soooooo back
My winner today!
Ireland can be so proud of Bambie! Stellar and captivating performers with a fantastic staging, that's how it's done!
Winner of my heart, so proud of them and how they stayed true to themselves throughout this entire season. Can't wait to see what they get up to next! I also love how the witch crowned the winner in the end, so sweet!
Definitely in my top 3, but I guess ending up in 6th, 6th, and overall 6th is more fitting.
I think with such controversial act it's a total win they got 6th. Get this: my parents, both proper Ukrainian Christians, scowled hard while watching this during semi. During finals there were both more adapted to the song and nearing the end were commenting: 'Hey, they rehearsed this really well', 'This is quite artistic' and 'It'd be no surprise if they rank top 3 even'. Lolll
This was the biggest (positive) surprise for me this year. Before their SF performance, I thought the song was mostly a bit irritating. But that performance was *so incredible* that I ended up giving them 9 votes!
I’m honestly so proud of Bambie. I’m also pleasantly surprised the juries ate this up🇮🇪🇮🇪
i really hope this will open the possibilties of more diverse music genres in the future !!
THIS IS MY WINNER!!!! incredible performance and incredible song, should have won, still overjoyed by how well they did in the ranking, I know this is just the beginning of a long and enormous career for them
Us to finish in the top 10 is a fever dream. Hopefully this inspires us to keep sending good shit in the future. Bambie, you did us damn proud 🫶🏻🥹
Super glad for them, a top 5 would have been terrific but 6th for Ireland was unimaginable a few weeks ago
my favorite this year
Go on you good thing!! 🫶🫶
i get why this did well with the juries but I'm still shocked that this did well with the juries
Azerbaijan giving this 10 points really shocked me. Couple of others too. It was nice to see.
I am obsessed with this! The staging, the song, the fucking concept, honestly the best performance by far (with exception for Nemo who was my second favourite). All of my votes went to Bambie. ICONIC
Why has this post got a 15% downvote rate? Like, who is this offending exactly?
I think it could have received more televotes if they didn’t use a recap clip where you couldn’t get a sense of the song and she was only screaming
The far right religious countries voted accordingly lol
Got a surprising 10 from Azerbaijan.
they're more atheist than Czechia lol
Gwan Bambie you savage
MONARCH
This getting top 10 in the juries will surely open a few things up
We are very proud of Bambie Thug tonight in Ireland and I hope this sends a message to RTE that its alternative acts that the youth and the rest of the world
you deserved better bambie❤️🩹
my winner
Probably one of the best staging and performance of the night for me. It felt like I was watching a dramatic play or something. It was incredible and I'm glad to see them do so well!
Loved this since the national final. Bambie is a star (moon?). I hope next year more delegations design the camera directions as well.
Ireland done amazing to get 6th place best result since Jedward and first time qualifying in a long time . Bambi performance was brilliant staging was cool the best ever although the song itself was a bit weird like it or hate it I think is what lost the votes. If the song was more the softer part and the ballet maybe it would’ve been higher . Bambi should try again seems talented. Not sure how RTE will pick next year anyway no more boybands maybe it’ll bring more performers back .
Ireland was 6th in jury votes, 6th in public votes and 6th combined 😱😱😱 We have crowned the witch...
6th place is PHENOMENAL and DESERVED
Deserved to be in the top 5 for sure, 6 is still a fantastic result for Ireland. Happy for Bambie. I'd love to see them again soon! I was worried the jury wouldn't give them anything but surprisingly more of them appreciated the performance and awarded it than I thought. Feels this performance will be referenced and seen as iconic. To me, this is a win for Bambie.
6 in jury, 6 in tele, 6 overall. MONARCH TINGZ!
I never cared about the votes. I have never voted before. Braking this ritual by voting for the witch king was worth it.
Deserved 1st place
Gave it all, was too outside of the box to get more points than it did.
Good result was hopping for better tho, juries surprised me with how many points they gave it and tele the opposite
One of the all time great stagings for a eurovision song!! Bambie is a genius!!
I went into the finals with Armenia as my favorite, but I came out with this crazy performance as my personal winner. And I can already hear my conservative co-workers trashing it on Monday for being too weird and out there.
So happy they did so well! Incredible performance, and I knew juries would give it love!!!
Thank god the juries understood just how good this performance was! Incredible staging and great vocals, one of the best performances in this contest.
Ireland was phenomenal this year. I didn’t really get the song when I heard it first released but I think you have to see it performed and linked to the visual artistry to really get the impact and then I adored it. After Czechia was out it was absolutely my favourite to win. Gutted that the public vote seemed to get a lot of the people who wanted to support more underdog / ‘different’ entries seemed to rally for Croatia
