Sorry, I had to delete the old video as I accidentally uploaded a 360p test version, instead of the final 1080p final one, so it was too blurry. Sorry for those whose comments were lost 😭
Gruffalo playing badminton with Bambie Thug. A scene we didn't know we needed, but what a pleasant surprise! Loved your reaction, voting for Bambie in the semi #1 with all my powers, for sure! With love from the UK 💜🖤
This is my biggest grower! When I started my Eurovision score board it was next to last and now it's 5th. But my whole top 10 is so good I wouldn't mind any of them winning.
This has been my #1 since Eurosong. I liked the song before that, but it was the Eurosong performance that showed me what a wildly talented person Bambie Thug is & convinced me that this song could do well at the ESC. This video is just more of that, and I hope they make it through to the final!
Since they won Eurosong, been listening to their other songs and my god, I can say I'm a huge fan now!! 😍 they've stayed in my top 5 the whole season! Just hoping and praying Ireland qualifies this year! They deserve it for taking a huge risk and going for an artist that is so unique! This song and the video is a masterpiece in my eyes 😍💖
This looks great! I laughed so hard when they were playing badminton with the hairy monster 🙂. How sweet that you read the Gruffalo to your niece, I read it to my daughters too 🥰. Definitely one of the best videos this year! If they can translate this artistry to the stage in Malmö, I can't see Ireland not qualifying tbh. The way that semi 1 is shaping up, this absolutely belongs in the final.
I never expect Ireland will send these entries but I think it should qualify the televotes will love this plus we need Ireland in the final it has been like 6 years I think I did not like this at all first time when I heard it but it's very creative and unique and it grew on me
Very interesting suggestion that Bambie should go for a costume or image change when the song transitions into the lighter part. I notice the video depicts the chorus part as an almost dreamlike sequence. Incidentally, that painting is in the National Gallery in Dublin : 'The Meeting On The Turret Stairs'.
This gives me an early 1900s, horror, film noir, witch feel. there’s something about when the song goes from the hard part into the soft part and then back is so amazing and seamless and it gives me a 1900s fairytale vibe. Then the bridge is beyond amazing with this film noir or early 1900s Hollywood feel. Amazing song, just unfortunate that Ireland is sending something this good and experimental in one of the strongest esc years I’ve ever seen
Yeah it does seem like in the previous editions, this would’ve really stood out and been on its own as the most unique. This year it’s much harder to stand out though
After hearing how some of Bambie's competitiors )in the same semi) aren't exactly the best vocalists, and how some of them are less lauded, it gives me hope that Ireland will scoot through to the finals. This is most definitely the strongest package they've sent in an aeon, and Bambi themselves can deliver a vocal, so I don't see why this can't qualify. I'm excited to see what they bring to the Semi's!
Happy St. Patrick's day! This year has been extra special with Bambie's new music video and Cillian winning the best actor 💚🤍🧡 I think the video really elevates the song and again I'm very excited for Bambie's vision and performance for ESC 🫶
i love this music video and their styling in it 😍 cant wait to see what they wear in esc. this song is in my top 10, and i believe in irelands qualification!! if they dont qualify, i'll be so sad :-(
I'm so glad you liked this! I love the way they transition between verses and chorus in the video! I think it smooths the contrast between the two. But do you think they can replicate that on the stage in Malmo???? I hope so, this is my number 1! (I see you weren't doing these videos the year Ryan O'Shaughnessy was the entry - I LOVED that song so much!)
I feel they’re going to announce Ireland as either the first or the last qualifier just because I know they’ll bring IT to the stage. I am manifesting it.
Love the creature representation in this music video, brings a tear to Gimlo's eye 🥹 Hope you had a great St. Patrick's day 🎉 Gimlo still won't share his gold though P.S. Love the Gruffalo
This music video was so good, I was extremely impressed by the storytelling throughout. I actually found the transitions a lot smoother than when I heard than when I first heard the song. 😄So curious what they will do in Malmö.
I too would love a "look change" on the stage, but i fear it might be too hard to do effectively live, in a way that is polished. Considering they have to do it more than once throughout the song, so i think moreso of the LEDS, lighting, staging, camera angles and choreo would be the best way to show the difference in parts more reliably! I wonder would this "boyfriend" creature end up on stage... I'm not sure what i think about that, could be amazing, could be messy, i trust them to make the right choice though! Whatever we do, i hope they keep the 2 shadow dancers from eurosong!! Just make those exact costumes with higher quality materials, and boom amazing!
@myrawatters1036 yeah, i think trying to do it through outfit or makeup or hair, whilst impressive, is perhaps unnecessarily difficult to pull off in a way that doesnt interrupt their incredible performance presence as well as not look messy.
I'm happy for Ireland! I suspect Bambi has some advantage in having trained ballet, since I can imagine ballet performances, like opera (at least the more modernistic productions) can have some really cool visual stuff going on. One of the things I'm most excited about before the ESC is to see what they will come up with for their performance! On a different note, I kind of wonder about what you mean by when you say that something looks expensive or deluxe? I interpret it as something being good quality and with attention to detail, but I'm not sure because I don't think that a higher cost necessarily means that something is better
Ireland my winner this year 🇮🇪❤️🇬🇧 I hope for good staging and a qualification 😅 Also How do you avoid copyright??? Edit: they have to bring the “bad guy” to Mamö 😂
If they bring this level performance to the live show they will do well. If they bring the same kind of performance as they did performing live when they were selected then I can the televote dumping them out in the Semi Final. Based on just the live performance I had them coming last at one point. Yet this video is near the top of my playlist
Tom the picture featured at the very end of the video is called "The Meeting on The Turret Stairs. It is in the National Art Gallery in Dublin and was painted by William Burton. It tells a sad and tragic tale I'm afraid. It is actually the favourite painting of the Irish people. Up until very recently it was my online image. It's so beautiful.
Bambie Thug is good entry this year. The only thing going them is the draw as we are the first half of semi with entries such as Croatia 🇭🇷 and Ukraine 🇺🇦. Hopefully as an Irish eurovision fan, Petra or Malin, one them will call out Ireland 🇮🇪 when the results are in.
I know it's considered death spot but I would LOVE if Bambie was the one to open ESC2024. Can you just imagine that? It would be so awesome and lets face it, whether you like it or not you aren't gonna forget this. My only concern is how is this gonna sound live because national performance didn't sound anything like music video.
I think it's probably a bit too out there to open the contest. I reckon the EBU/SVT might think they need something a bit safer. Personally I have a feeling the Croatia might get the opening spot because they have a strong, upbeat and very catchy song. Also a lot may depend on what setup is required for the staging. If it's complex then it might get put just before an advertising break to allow the crew to strike and set up the next performance. On the live performance I don't have as many concerns. We all know the sound balance on Eurosong was dreadful for all of the participants. I expect SVT will have a vastly better setup and I don't have worries about their ability to perform the song. Obviously though they'll have to watch their voice over the course of the two weeks but I reckon they are seasoned enough to know how to do that.
Ireland is going to be really angry if we don't get to the final because we are really trying. Literally we tried everything pop, past euro winners, boy bands. You name it. Maybe if we got bono we'd do it or enya !?!😂
Normally I would skip Ireland on a playlist but not this year. Much like Germany last year Ireland are trying something different. Even if it flops nothing has been lost. It's much better to go out with an entry like this than to bomb with a dated boyband dirge.
Sorry, I had to delete the old video as I accidentally uploaded a 360p test version, instead of the final 1080p final one, so it was too blurry. Sorry for those whose comments were lost 😭
Ive never felt this excited for Ireland in a long time, this is it. If they dont qualify, I'll eat my shoes! Laces n all 😤
I’m so intrigued to see what Bambie has in store for the big stage!
The show did not disappoint!
Bambie is fantastic. The song has a guaranteed place in my Top 10.

Fantastic video - this jumped Bambie Thug from my 3rd place to my 1st - Ireland is definitely qualifying.

I'll vote for her from Croatia in semi, she's such an amazing artist ❤ we need Bambie in finals!!
I fear we won't get many votes from Eastern Europe and the Balkans but who knows 🤷
We will vote for Croatia in return 😁🇮🇪🇭🇷🐱🐱🐱
Stvarno je odlična.
I'm crossing my fingers for you guys making it to the final this year Tom! Its SO deserved!
This looks great! I laughed so hard when they were playing badminton with the hairy monster 🙂. How sweet that you read the Gruffalo to your niece, I read it to my daughters too 🥰. Definitely one of the best videos this year!

I NEED THEM TO WIN SO BADDD 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
The contrast between Irelands music video last year to this 😂
Exactly 😂

I'm excited and intruiged to see what Bambie does in Malmo 🎉❤
Go néirí leat Bambi 🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪 Ireland is excited and proud to see you on stage in Malmö 🖤💚🖤
What I'm intrigued about is according to Bambie there's a revamp of the song but we wont hear it until Malmo!
Oooooooooo

i think its possible. maybe with some sort of a costume that can flip? like a wig and dress that can flip quickly?
@@ESCTom ah, yes! I hope they will!
I feel they’re going to announce Ireland as either the first or the last qualifier just because I know they’ll bring IT to the stage. I am manifesting it.
So so happy, such an amazing music video

I hope the full team from Dublin make the stage in Malmo
Hope they do well 🍀
I can see them representing Ireland in the future too.

They achieved a lot with just lighting at Eurosong to change the mood.
@myrawatters1036 yeah, i think trying to do it through outfit or makeup or hair, whilst impressive, is perhaps unnecessarily difficult to pull off in a way that doesnt interrupt their incredible performance presence as well as not look messy.
The first time I listened to the song I was like: finally some punk fun in eurovision hahaaha, let’s see what happens
Have you seen their jazzy piano snippet on Instagram as well? That was cool.

When do you think we will get the official running order and will u do a prediction?❤🎉
looooooool ill literally just uploading that video now. youre psychic 😂
@@ESCTom OH WHAT THE HELL-

My only concern is how is this gonna sound live because national performance didn't sound anything like music video.
They’ll never put them second. It’s too crazy and different, they want something normal at that early spot. I think they will be 5,6 or 7th spot.
yep i think itll be towards the end of the half, like LEt 3 were last year

As a huge horror fan, I just thought it would be so funny if they performed first and scared the shit out of people 😅
Ireland is going to be really angry if we don't get to the final because we are really trying. Literally we tried everything pop, past euro winners, boy bands. You name it. Maybe if we got bono we'd do it or enya !?!😂
Please react to the first live performance of Joost with Europapa!!!
Normally I would skip Ireland on a playlist but not this year. Much like Germany last year Ireland are trying something different. Even if it flops nothing has been lost. It's much better to go out with an entry like this than to bomb with a dated boyband dirge.
Ya it's the Judas picture Genus
I wonder if that's Bambie's real apartment.
Not quite as daring or racy as Johnny Logan but it’s a very good video
🤣🤣🤣
How to save a country's participation in Eurovision.
Shrill…. Almost schizophrenic. What a difference to last year‘s entry.
I can’t like it only because it’s so different. But I am sure, others will! 😉
