Bambi what’s the head Euro Entry

[VaddaABeetch]

Anybody see Non Binary Ouija Rock singer Bambi who has been chosen to represent Ireland at Eurovision. I’m very unimpressed.

I thought it was great and v eurovison-y tbh.

Very Eurovisiony alright in concept but also Very screechy .

We're a very long way from Johnny Logan/Niamh Kavanagh/Lynda Martin/ Rock and Roll Kids lads. The competition has 'moved on' from actual music sadly. I still watch it basically because I'll watch any oul shite really.

It will do better than what we've sent in recent years. Very scandi metal vibe.

Not my cupán tae ☕ but I wish them well. I think the trio have a strong Eurovision look as Chickenkeev says.* *It's hard to know how Ireland will get on as the competition is bonkers.

Scandi metal vibe à la Malificent.

There was a bit of a tune to it imo, not just noise. I'd be more old school in my musical taste, but i thought it was better than Jedward #lowbar

We will defo beat Israel this year.

There's a tune in there somewhere, yes. It's not screechy all the way through.
It's an interesting act. We'll see!

interesting hobby for this person

I'm not clicking on random twitter links. What's the general gist of it?

Best entry we've sent in an extremely long time, it's so nice to have an original and exciting entry for once.

Bambie is being interviewed on RTE radio now and comes across really well.

If it's not to your taste, fine, but no need to be nasty about it.

@Chickenkeev i won’t post the actual picture but it’s from Bambis twitter feed.

Naked in the shower, likes bathing in menstrual blood.

Well that's mank. But i won't see it so i have to take it with a pinch.

How very .... "non-binary" .... of her. 🙄

They not her!

Ah, I don't think so! 😉

It was ok but think trying to hard to be out there. Preferred the last woman who sang and great performance.
Did Patrick Kielty drive anyone else mad, talking so slow and beyond boring. Not a good presenter at all, no personality.

Disagree on both fronts, Erica Cody's song was really dated and would have failed to qualify, again. We needed to take a risk and do something different.

I thought Kielty was miles better than Tubridy, he was unbearable and had such a sneery attitude towards the whole thing.

Yes! I agree with Sakura7 on Erica Cody.
Good singer but a dated song.
I also like Kielty. He seems like a nice man. Genuinely likeable and I like his sense of humour.

Very hard to predict what will do well at the eurovision but I wouldn't discount them.
Alternative music can fare quite well.
It's become more about the spectacle and performance than just the song, and while they might not be my cup of tea, Bambi certainly provided that better than the others IMHO.
the look and persona will make them stand out of the pack.

But I understand it's possibly a bit of a "marmite" choice and a lot people don't like it. Still is it worse than Jedward or Dustin the Turkey?

Jedward were a good Eurovision act. They did well with 'Lipstick'. Got to the final and scored well. They shouldn't have gone back a second time. Only Johnny Logan could do that!

Dustin was a really bad act.

I agree with the comment that alternative music can often do well. The Finnish entry did really well last year but there was a catchy hook with 'Cha cha cha etc'. I don't think Bambie's song will have the same appeal but you never know.

Lene Lovich did it better 🥱

I think yet again we've got no chance.

The song is getting a huge response, mostly positive.

I think we're heading for our best result since Jedward at least. This has huge potential so if it all comes together for Malmo, we get a good draw, etc, this could do extremely well.

The worst crime you can commit in Eurovision is be boring, and we've excelled at that over the years. So this feels really exciting!

I actually thought jedwards lipstick was a good entry too.

And agree its really, really not about the song anymore.
