May 11, 20241 yr Well they have shown up and nailed a great performance. Very proud of them with the performance regardless of the result.
May 11, 20241 yr Congrats Bambie on 6th place which equals our best result last seen in 2000 I think. They should be very proud although I would have never predicted a better jury result over televote.
May 11, 20241 yr Author Yup amazing job from Bambie and co. They really won us over with the staging and styling. Doomsday Blue will be hard to top and I hope that will encourage more artists to apply! Clare Sands & I Have A Tribe next year pleek?
May 11, 20241 yr I'm hoping the great result this year is the start of change on how rte approach eurovision. Bambie has shown what can be done so I just hope we can build/sustain what we achieved this year and at the least qualify again next year.
May 12, 20241 yr I had a feeling Bambie would speak out with pretty much what they said although I did fear they would have said it earlier than now.
May 12, 20241 yr I just saw the semi final results and Bambie managed 3rd place on the semi which was a great result.
May 12, 20241 yr Such a shame about the result :( , though 666 is iconic. However, with people like Last Dreamer about, guess it was to be expected...
May 13, 20241 yr I just hope rte have learned from this year and start understanding what's needed to do well and this year not to be just a fluke, my worry is creatively it was all from Bambie and her team with little from rte and that basic staging will return. I just hope bambies success opens the door to more creative people entering next year with songs that have that stand out feature to them. Ireland for me really need to follow up next now with a never done before type song to stand out again.
May 13, 20241 yr There is a video on TikTok with any Israeli using Icona Pop song 'I Love It' to discredit the boos received on Eurovision (especially that part "I don't care, I Love it"). Oh my. :wacko: Edited May 13, 20241 yr by Jason
May 13, 20241 yr Can you share the video? Bambie Thug will continue to be very vocal about what happened at Eurovision re Israel but i think aside from that they loved everything else about the experience.
May 16, 20241 yr I just re-read this thread. Iz called a top 10 finish for this on 12th January! :D unfortunately I bet on a top 5 in the end, damn I*rael Quite proud of that, though that was mostly instinct on the unusual and great song structure of 'Doomsday Blue' and how I thought it would stand out in any given pack of songs, at the time I hadn't factored in Bambie's artistic vision and charisma nor the intensity and depth of the performance, both of which truly cemented this one's legacy as one of the greats.
May 16, 20241 yr It is one of the greats ans ir should have won. However, rhe chorus is nowhere near as good as the verses, which may have held it back. With a full on rock, no disjointed pop verses, song like Lordi... woulda won.
