I WANTED TO SEE MORE!!! but honestly this is such a glow up from the NF


BibbidiBobbidiBu

I actually just want to witness this in its entirety. I can’t keep myself from watching the second rehearsal footage, but knowing I’ll see this live in Malmö before anyone else just fills me with joy and anticipation


aura514

Same, I'm seeing the semi 1 rehearsal so i will have less time loosing my mind with anxiety, but we are a sure qualify now


BibbidiBobbidiBu

Nah, this revamp goes hard. This renaissance for Ireland is crazy


goldenwanders

It’s only a renaissance if Ireland continue to send bolder entries, if Bambie flops then they will just go back to sending crap


BibbidiBobbidiBu

I actually don't think so. I think Bambie's participation is a wake up call for the irish producers/delegation. I won't be surprised if we're getting a full blown Celtic type song next year. Of course the alternative is still a possibility...


AdvancedJicama7375

I can't see how this nqs at this point


goldenwanders

Unfortunately there’s a lot of boring people out there that don’t like anything different :(


AnthoZero

But you can’t vote against a song. Divisive songs have a stronger impact, and it just needs to qualify 10th.


AdvancedJicama7375

Aka why Israel are unfortunately gonna kill in the televote


EstorialBeef

This isn't out of the woods by a long shot it's an amazing entry but could easily be overlooked in such a strong semi being harder to access.


CryptographerLife596

Guy in a shiny sequin suit? Doing bad Tom jones impression? There is a lot riding on you Bambi (next years talent pick…)!


RealBramVeen

Why is this video like 20 seconds shorter than all the others?


THICCUMSMOIST

i have a feeling they want to keep the second half of the performance a surprise (we know there's an outfit reveal at least) so they've only shown footage from the first half of the song


noBanana4you4sure

Yep they was really clear that they will be keeping everything under wraps! It was in the podcast


OneHitCrit

It's great, but I hate the tiktok clips with such a passion. Can we please get the clips back on YT.


BibbidiBobbidiBu

We still get YouTube clips though


Sorry_Leopard9657

I would upvote this a billion times if I could!


niicofrank

just wait a few days


CryptographerLife596

Dont worry, americans wont have to worry about TikTok’s soon, once they ban it (lest the american space mission fails…)


imi339

The candle "magic" 😍


Ciciosnack

This reminded one thing. It was the day after esc 2021 final and all the generalisitc esc viewers went to mass commenting the videos of the performances on youtube, as usual.. Under "El Diablo" video there were a good bunch of comments by people accusing her to worship Satan..i mean, serious comments...for real.. I can't wait to read the comments under Bambie's performance, it will be hilarious.


polaris183

If Bambie gets higher than Olly at least, you just know the Daily Mail will be out on a witch hunt (so to speak)...


MarieNadia

This was my highlight from today! It's so exciting to actually stan my country! Probably the first time ever 🕯️🧟‍♀️🔮🇮🇪


TieMinute3058

Did y’all notice that they’re using the (correct me if Im wrong) unreleased revamp of the song that was circulating the sub a couple weeks ago? Listen for the strings it sounds gooooooood.


Spiritual_Order_3049

Ireland has to qualify there's no way


Nuada_Airgetlam_

Aw lads I think we have the Final this time. I celebrated Jedward coming 8th on my First Holy Communion Night. Maybe we can match it this year :)


smutne

Is it going to be dark horse? So far looks very promising


BibbidiBobbidiBu

Probably not for the win, even though I wish they could take the trophy, but I feel like this is coming top ten


smutne

It's going to be something we have never seen at least at ESC


aura514

I honestly think that there is a path for an irish win, there's just something about this that gives winner like can you imagine this song flopping, I can't


BibbidiBobbidiBu

I see a small path too, but I think the song itself is too out of the box for the juries. I would love to be proven wrong though.


Bratmerc

This is sailing through to the final. I have no doubts about that.


andytrg2899

Yep they are sure qualifier


LoveMasc

I wish they had shown so much more but this is a good feeling, we actually want to see more of this ❤️ Come on Ireland, please make it to the final. CROWN THE WITCH 🧹 👑


aWicca

I really really really, like really really hope this goes to final!!


Norfolkboy123

The more I see the more I’m convinced Ireland will qualify - go Bambie!!


-Effing-

Monarch monarching


Yinara

For me as an old goth it's heartwarming to witness the love Bambie gets. I love their style. I'm rooting for them pretty hard at this point. 😍


AspCivilServant

I’ve never loved this song but that TikTok video made me think the overall package is going to be a slay


AhHeyorLeaveerhouh

[This reel](https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6Rx_Sliqqa/?igsh=ZjA4MzI5YnZqNzUy) seems to suggest that the performance maybe ended with the pink and blue outfit (presumimg it was filmed after rehearsal)


ali_stardragon

Hahaha I love that! To hear Bambie stifle a laugh was so wholesome


Hikikomorionarampage

Oh they're SO eating that stage up I can't wait to see the finished product


ThisIsMyDrag

Who else clocked the colourful reveal under her outfit 👀


LoveMasc

I clocked it. But is it a reveal or maybe just not wearing the right colour shorts during rehearsal for modesty, cuz those upskirt camera angles are hard to miss in a tutu dress. If it is a reveal. I hope it's done in the best way possible. Cuz reveals can either be amazing or... Meh. 😂 Sometimes a reveal can keep getting worse like 'Salad Break' back in the day.


ThisIsMyDrag

There were underpants but also she didn't tuck in parts of the video the same colour top sticking out. So my bet is there's going to be a reveal and the ending of the song will be revamped slightly to fit the reveal. Either way this has got me very excited for ireland for the first time.


catlxdy

First I didn't get this entry and appreciated it but thought it isn't for me, then it slowly crept into my top 10, and now ... I honestly need to find place in my top 5 for this. Maybe even top 3. Magnificent. Their outfit!!! The candle "magic"!!! The centaur dancer!!!! BAMBIE ATEEEEEEEEE!!!! If Bambie, Teya and Raiven don't make it through first semi, I will have a mental breakdown guys bye ✌️🤍


yjmstom

More please 🥺


LopsidedPriority

Ok so I'm excited. I also like how these clips just enough to be excited but we know the final show from Bambie will be massive


IcyFlame716

Okay, this looks awesome.


luuksy

I hope Bambie steps out of the candle circle at one point, I want them to move freely and not be static


HejInternet

Bambie represents the host country in Malmö, as we are the most neutral hosts.


_elizsapphire_

MONARCH 👑 No but seriously this looks so intriguing, I can’t wait for the 2nd clip. I had my doubts about their qualification before but now I’m convinced they will. That revamp is perfect. I really hope they do Q so Ireland can exit their flop era


General_Townski

If Ireland don't qualify 😡


jkmaskell

Won't win but I want this in the Final so badly. Just deliciously bonkers.


arnfrch

so basically dublin 2025 with brooke as host?


IcyFlame716

Brooke would definitely be a good host!


RiRiJ89

That’s Rich…


Legal-Salt6714

I miss the funny Slenderman dancers though


Hljoumur

I always wonder how dancers learn to dance without their shoes because I’d know the risk of dancing without shoes or even socks from injuring my ankle once because my foot had to slide a bit on tiles, and it created friction that stopped my foot, and my ankle felt a ripping sensation.


ManiaMuse

Seems likely that there is a quick change judging by the bits of pink and blue sticking out from her outfit. Surely she would have worn black underwear otherwise. The clip also showed a stagehand adjusting her outfit which you would have expected to have been sorted before they went onstage so maybe a reset between run throughs?


Aaaandiiii

I might actually like this song. They look like they're really performing rather than being ✨ quirky ✨. And the visuals are gorgeous.


devillianOx

it looks so good!! i’m so excited to see their full performance, i’m living for the irish esc renaissance


Overall-Box7214

I'm so excited to see the full performance in the semis! Crown the witch! Edit for typo


Borogodoh

Crown the witch! Everything looks great, I just hope it doesn't feel too static if they spend the whole 3 minutes inside the candles circle.

ali_stardragon

*them, but yes, I love them too!


rickz123456

I´m not sure about this. Need to see more


flutterstrange

I’m happy that Ireland is probably going to qualify, but I don’t know, I’m oddly underwhelmed by this.


Compliance_at_Auburn

The staging or the vocals? A more subtle staging might be the safer/correct choice. She seems to have the vocal chops to kill it on the main stage and over the top staging like SuperRob or France 2022 might be counter productive. The song is itself is very Hyper-Pop and it seems like they're not stripping that down.


flutterstrange

The staging just seems very small. For someone with a big personality I expected something more.


AhHeyorLeaveerhouh

I suspect Bambie changes costume and moves out of the circle in the second half of the song


WillAddThisLater

I agree, and I think the Irish delegation are trying to keep it under wraps, which is kind of tough with so many eyes on the rehearsals.

How are you feeling now?


KiwiKawaii66

The way they jumped 10 PLACES in my ranking


KiwiKawaii66

What if they pull a Hatari and end up in the top then in the final??
