I always find it funny people saying they didnt expect this from Ireland. Catholicism aside (which is not as popular anymore) we have a history of paganism, Hallowe'en has origins here and we created dracula! We've always been a bit dark
@EmmaKiely That IS true! I guess it's still a somewhat stereotype of Ireland. I've watched alot of Jacksepticeye back in the day and he used to talk about how religion was a focus in ireland when he was a kid! But I never really looked up anything more about it since! I did not know about Dracula thata dope. Always loved Ireland 💚
Not surprising taking in consideration their dark side. But god damn i am still thinking of this performance and im glad from what i read that was voted for the best staging ever
Ireland used to be very Catholic, not Christian. And the Catholics really hated this song. Apparently they sent in a protest list trying to stop Bambie Thug from representing Ireland. 😆
@@LocalEClown have you been to Ireland recently? Church-going numbers are less than 20%. Vast majority of people have very little respect for the church. We passed marriage equality in a referendum with 68% for. This isn't a very Christian country. It has a legacy of Catholicism. You are wrong.
Well that's because those in black cloth abused kids and then some people hating on bambie coz they are in black 😂😂 Irish is still very catholic just not AS and I don't blame them after all the scandels and the way they were treated in Madeline laundries and their kids taking off them 😢 ps bambie thug is the new Irish lady ga ga I love they're song love bites such a different contrast to doomsday blue
@@tonyttt31 Totally agree. And I love that in this performance Bambie is channelling our pagan past, pre-Christianity and bringing it into modernity. Irish people will generally identify as catholic but they don't really practice it, as you say, and it's not really a relevant part of our lives, but I think some small 'positives' stick with Irish people - they are generous and kind, giving and happy to make sacrifices for others. So yea, catholicism and the church are just not relevant to very much any more.
I agree, however, many of us are still very spiritual though, just ask any Irish person. They will tell you they don't feel the need to go to mass/church, one can watch your local church online, in most places, so we have not lost our religion, we are still very spiritual.
