CROWN THE WITCH! 👑| Bambie Thug - Doomsday Blue (LIVE) | First Semi-Final | Eurovision 2024  

In my 63 yrs, this Irishman has seen Ireland produce A+ Eurovision winning songs. But honestly? This is better than any of them, and win, lose or draw, Bambie and their team have carved out a place in Eurovision history.

I'm a 51yo, who has watched Eurovision every year as far back as I can remember. This performance is the most intense, jaw dropping, visually stimulating, technically perfect performance I have ever seen at Eurovision. Should Bambie Thug win. YES! But it's Eurovision, and sometimes people don't win who you think should. However, this performance is ICONIC and will be talked about for many years beyond people forgetting who the winner this year is. #crownthewitch

I’m from Spain and I am obsessed with this song ❤ It’s perfect and she deserved to win, but this is Eurovision 🥲

I'm literally obsessed with this song. The more you watch, the more you love this fantastic performance It reminds me ofthe first time I saw Irelands Riverdance at the Eurovision❤

Bambie was en pointe for a lot of the performance. To maintain balance, dance beautifully, hit those camera cues AND give a unique vocal performance is an unbelievable achievement.

Crown the witch 🧙‍♀️🫰🏻🇮🇪❤️🏆

We brought you the best interval act in the history of eurovision, now we give you Bambie Thug what a phenomenal performance, win or lose this act will be remembered for a very long time. Crown the witch 🇮🇪

I'm from Lithuania and I feel so represented by this performance. Love The Witch.

I get emotional every single time I watch it! Crown The Witch!!!!!

As a 33 irish man been asking for something like this for years it makes me so proud it has me crying

I love that she said ´go raibh mile maith agut´ at the end......so proud

On top of this performance being a masterclass in lighting, camera work, use of props and choreography. Can we also take a moment to appreciate the fact Bambie is en pointe (on their tip toes in ballet) for most of the performance while singing. That takes a great level of concentration to achieve. Furthermore, as any Scream Queen (Jamie Lee Curtis etc) will tell you it can be incredibly difficult to execute a perfect scream/screech on queue,. Bambie makes it look effortless in how they both dance and switch vocal styles of singing. People might not like this song, but you cannot deny the theatrical brilliance of this performance. #CrownTheWitch

WHEN I TELL YOU IM ABSOLUTELY MESMERISED BY THIS. I’ve been watching Eurovision since 2009 and I can hands down say that this is the best performance I have ever seen at Eurovision period. When I saw this for the first time my jaw dropped. I was legit left speechless. CROWN THE FUCKING WITCHHHHHHHH 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

Bambie has such control and is so good at portraying this character. The camara work is exquisite. The dancer did an amazing job. The song and the lyrics are very unique. The final piece is the best thing that has ever touched Eurovision. Crown the witch indeed!

They probably did history already as the darkest greatest show ever done in Eurovision 🌑🖤

I've replayed this so many times it's burned into my TV. My TV is Hexed. Imagine we won, and they were commissioned to do a 10-min interval act based on their music... Mind-blown!!! They've made it to the final and a 200 million audience... If they don't win the trophy... They will take the CROWN (of memory and artist respect)... But let's try and get 'em both. Have a great rest-of-day 💚🤍🧡🇨🇦

This song and Performance is just art on a other level. A masterpiece

Bambie Thug, Slimane, and Joost are blowing up in the US! Great songs and performances!!

We in Ireland are proud of this song... As you will know Holloween and Druidic culture is Irish and this song plays homage to that

Thank you Kyle and Lana for your great reaction. An amazing creative artistic performance, a masterpiece, Ireland's Bambi 12 points

Crown the witch 🎉❤

Dia dhuit as Éireann ☘️ hello from Ireland 🇮🇪 so proud of Bambi , this was so amazing . CROWN THE WITCH 👑🧛🏻‍♀️ go néirí leat Bambi 🖤💚🖤

This performance is undoubtedly one of the greatest in Eurovision history, standing alongside timeless classics like "Rise Like a Phoenix" Euphoria and "Riverdance." It held me captive from the very beginning, each moment filled with enchantment. Initially overlooked in a modest studio setting in Ireland, Bambie Thug's performance enchanted TV audiences. It effortlessly surpasses other acts this year, truly elevating the competition. Additionally, their rendition of "Zombie" by The Cranberries, especially the intimate piano version, beautifully showcases their vocal prowess. Even if they don't win Eurovision, they've already proven themselves as stars.

Winner🇮🇪🥇

Vote for Bambie Saturday as part of the rest of the world vote!!!

I have never been so proud of my country. Bambie has completely changed the way we see Eurovision. Truly the best performance I’ve ever seen on the stage. Ireland’s best result since 1997!🇮🇪

I've lost count on how many times I've seen the semi live

Canada my 2nd home 🏠🏠 please vote for Bambi this Saturday it was voted the most watched performance in one night on Eurovision I have their performance on loop the last two days 😂😂😂 I don't think I took a breath in those three minutes. The perfection and work they put into it paid off.

Proud of bambie 🎉 #crownthewitch

Oh I'm SO in 🖤🖤👊👊

Absolutely brilliant. My winner on the night, and my favourite Eurovision performance ever.

Damn! Every time I listen it I like more. The acting is brutal

Lovely reaction! love from Ireland

Dublin 2025, winners

I really enjoyed this reaction, you gave great detail and picked up on all the little points even the flag

Im from denmark, and to me this is the absolute winner of eurovision history period. Bambie Thug is fecking amazing, and for some reason i cant get the image of The Morrigan out of my head when i see their performance :)

All soulmates here, let's CROWN THE WITCH on Saturday (May 11th)!⛥🇮🇪🧙‍♀️👑🖤 The final will take place at 9 PM Central European Time / 1 PM Calgary Time / 3 PM New York Time / 12 PM California Time and can also be watched live on YT! People from all over the world can vote for Bambie: Either via phone*call and SMS in the participating countries, or using the EurovisionApp from all non-participating countries! Make sure to vote 20 times with each device you have - this way you can vote 40, 60 or 80 times per person! And tell all your friends and family about this special opportunity all of us Goths, metalheads, alternative minds and queer people have now! 🦇🏳️‍⚧️🌙 Our beloved witch delivered without exaggeration the best Eurovision performance in history - Bambie, every Goth and alternative soul in the world is insanely proud of you and you're the most heartwarming voice I could ever imagine to represent us! 🇮🇪🧙‍♀️👑🖤 This boundary-breaking show is theatrical extravaganza, a storytelling experience in 3 minutes, a trance-like journey that casts a spell over the viewer just like Bambie is evoking enchantment on stage - and on top of that they are a once-in-a-lifetime performer, "Doomsday Blue" is an addictively refreshing song without any limits, and we get to see a staging that doesn't only captivate the dark souls who feel drawn to witchcraft anyway, but also the masses who have no choice but crowning the witch! Bambie is not only an artist who renders me speechless on a daily basis and is my biggest inspiration these days, but also an addictively charming human being who can make countless hearts jump for joy with their infectious smile. This is a performance that will be eternally engraved in the history books, and I will rewatch it over and over again until my last breath on earth!🖤✨️🌙 What is haunting me at night and day is that this easily exceeds everything people considered a Eurovision performance before - Bambie is setting new standards that will change Eurovision for decades to come. Of course "Doomsday Blue" works as a song and is travelling through an insane amount of genres and Bambie's vocals are on point no matter if they're dancing ballet or defeating the toxic boyfriend with an inferno of screams and in the middle of a firestorm, but the one aspect that makes me crazy in the most positive way is that this show has cinematic qualities and almost feels like a movie! While other contestants are satisfied with simply singing a song or repeating the same dance breaks over and over again, Bambie is combining all existing types of art to create a mesmerizing mélange of genreless dark art, theatrical drama, elegiac dance and visual grandeur... If someone would have told me before, I wouldn't have believed that such a performance is even possible. But what becomes clear is that you just need the right creative people in the right place to make history! I have never seen something like this before: Bambie will rise from an independent artist to a world star.😍 And I couldn't be happier because we share the same dreams and values! I definitely won't take any rest until the witch is crowned!🇮🇪🧙‍♀️👑🖤🌙

this is the song that will stand out from this year, it is truly unique and the performance was jaw dropping and memorable whether you love or hate it. For as much hate as it got from certain religious crowds who don't understand Paganism and it's connections to Irish culture, it kicked ass in the final rankings! and as a trans person from the us i am proud of their unapologetic representation and the support they received from so many

Norway loves Ireland!! 12 points!

Absolutely stunning Wow

This is the best Eurovision performance I've ever seen. And I've seen many, LOL! Finland is the second best this year. It's just so goofy and all over the place. This leaves you speechless, Finland's performance makes you laugh.

Go Ireland 🇮🇪

So glad I found your video and got to hear your appreciation of this performance, because it's really difficult to explain to non-occultists just how powerful of a display of magick this was. Knowing that other people can see that helps me feel like I'm not going insane.

I actually feel sorry for the live audience in the stadium cause this looks so much better captured with all the right camera angles (especially from above)- they do a fantastic job which elevates it tremendously. choreo, styling, make up, staging, light direction everything top notch! im not a fan of the song- sorry never was from the beginning but visually its just absolutely brilliant!
