Ireland IRELAND 2024 - Bambie Thug - Doomsday Blue

[ESC United Mod Team]

 

[MAD20]

Ladies and gentleman, we have a Eurosong virgin!

I must say I've followed the ones from previous years and the stage was also crap. But this year, someone said the stage would be in a different set, so I had (slightly) better expectations

 

[Sammy]

It's an absolutely dreadful musical composition I will not play or listen to ever again (gave me a migraine early Saturday ), and it's not even original for us who have wider historical knowledge of music (M. Manson met Billie Eilish, we've heard this when she was a baby).

However, as it is very conceptual, artistic and different, and it also brings new styles to Eurovision, it is absolutely what Eurovision needs a year after the juries had hacked the competition from the people to present the win to the most predictable, uninspiring and boring entry that Tattoo was.

Therefore, for the variety it gives to the competition, I gave this a 12 in the poll and I'll vote for this at least once.

Ireland, you have finally shown some true colors. This will be first time in years that we we won't press skip when we see Ireland 2024 coming in the medley. Good luck

so you‘re giving a (according to you) bad song, that is (according to you) not even original points because it‘s different (which basically means original)?!? what now?

In Eurovision different doesn't mean original. It means it's just different from 23 other Swedish pop entries in the Grand Final. That's how low the standard of variety at Eurovision is

I recommend widening music habits to different genres. Even watching MTV 90's channel might help the beginners.

understood.
personally I don‘t give the highest score possible to songs I dont find good. Different for me is not a criteria for quality. As for your recommendation - totally agree with you. As long as it doesn‘t result in torture of course.

 

[rasmuslights]

It'll be very interesting to see how well this does.

I can see it finishing last in the semi or pull off a top 15 result.

It all depends on the staging and vocals.

The staging needs to be dark (and not this fairytale background), I also personally don't enjoy the costumey wardrobe. It looks too gimmicky.

I sometimes rate things based on general value, not personal value.

Good old days of Irish glittery cameltoe mistletoe have to come to an end, indeed

And there is even one of my alltime favorite song among these top 30 ... it's Def Leppard - Pour Some Sugar On Me. In general, the "Hysteria" album is still cult!

 

[DanielLuis]

Ireland shortening dramatically in the odds, they're nearing the top 10 already

 

[SpiritofKeiino]

Ailsha's staging didn't come across well. I love her attitude and recognise she did her best, but the school theme of the staging looked amateurish...it was all a bit leprechauny or 'stage Irish' (Irish folk will know what I mean)

 

[Irish Cameltoe]

The stage and show were totally wrong for Eurovision. Everything and every performance looked like shit.

 

[ESC94]

I´m sorry but I have to stay with my initial reaction, it´s an exorcism turned into a song. Just disturbing and her voice isn´t my cup of tea at all.

I didn´t expect this to happen this early but is my first of the season, hate every second of it. It could qualify but it could also be the fanhype of the year that ulitmately flops hard in the semi like 2019.

But but but...some fans dont like so therefore it wont qualify reality will hit some of them soon I bet!

What's the point of the odds (gamblers guessing) when only a couple of entries are known?

Read the room, all the evidence for this song's chances are only pointing in one direction!

We don't yet know if Germany will do a Jendrik again though.

I wasn‘t referring to MTV, when I said torture. More on a general basis

 

[shameless]

My sister is the worst singer that I can imagine and this sounds like she would sing this. It feels like the evolution of Samanta Tina going full Raiven, Hatari and Nina Subletti but going for all the wrong things in it meaning it is an absolute artistic nightmarish catastrophe. I don't know if this will fare well with the televoting but no chance the jury will make it pass to the final. Last place with them incoming.

The act was great I thought. Ailsha's queer brother pointing at a blackboard with airplane arms as she bounced up and down the stage reciting the lyrics in babyvoice. ♥ it was pure insane asylum energy.

Of course, it had zero viability for Eurovision that way. (largely because Ailsha didn't sing at all for however short Go Tobann was ♥) Thank you for for sacrifice, queen, it will be remembered.

There are no juries in the SF
