What a creative artistic performance, awesomely unique and the song really grows on you, Bambi and Ireland 12 points

Un'opera d'arte impressionante... semplicemente perfetta!

Omg, this artist has made me search about the culture of Ireland, I am impressed.❤❤❤❤😍👑🇮🇪☘️

Questa è la esibizione più curata tanto visivamente come nella lirica, la parte vocale è adeguata al performance ad ogni secondo, Bambie e il suo team sono stati veramente bravi. Sono contenta che in tanti abbiamo capito la intenzione dell'artista.

Fantastic review. Thanks

madonna che interpretazione, che messa in scena, il modo in cui appaiono o scompaiono cose dal nulla, quando ha tirato su il ballerino dal braccio all'inizia sono stato mezz'ora a chiedermi da dove lo avesse tirato fuori...una delle migliori esibizioni mai viste all'Eurovision secondo me

You got the closest to what I'd say the point is. The "dark" version of her is the "good" one. It's how the main character really feels, and she's got agency. She's not pleasing to anyone's eye, she's not singing or bearing herself in any way that others expect. And she's disturbed by the effect her partner has on her, as he seems to want her to conform this "light", "saccharine" and actually truly perverted idea of what she should be, look like, represent, act like. As does the audience, of course. Which is why the transition line into the "blue moon" part is "I guess you'd rather have the star than the moon". "You want to see a sexed-up lolita showing legs and singing a schlager, not an Irish goblin struggling with the human condition". The Moon is "blue", because in English that meens "sad, yearning, anxious". So if she becomes a "star", as the audience and her lover expect, everyone's happy but she's miserable and stuck in what seems to be an enormously toxic relationship (with both!) Then her "dark" self protests again, but the "dark" self - loses! And then we're back in the Blue Moon saccharine hell, and the demands of her lover (and the audience) are granted. She gets stripped down to near naked and goes full cabaret, with the lover extatic and showing her off to the audience in that very risque spin. BUT, as the chandelier goes up, she sings that in order to keep pleasing him - and the audience - she is being "drained and hollow" and that what they want out of her is "doomsday blue", something that can only end in apocalyptic misery. And then, having given everyone what they came to see, she turns everyone's messed up desires against them, and shows that she is *still* the sane one, except now that everyone got their horrible wish to come true they can't fight back against her. And so she gets to put a triumphant end to it. Srry for long text, felt like sharing it w a fellow writer. P sure this is what's going on, it's sorta basic comparative literature stuff, but really, really, really well done, and 100% unexpectedly deeper and smarter than anyone would expect.

Certo! she was asked to change the ogham on her face as it read free palestine in Sean Gaeilge (old irish) and spelt in Ogham

L'analisi più completa che ho ascoltato. Complimenti 👏.. Spero che Bambie si posizioni nella top3 perché questa esibizione è magica. Un'altra bella esibizione è stata quella dell'Ucrania.. che ne pensi ?

This performance may have changed Eurovision live performances for the future - totally disruptive! Brilliant!

Brillant reaction - Totally missed the Gollum light/Dark side. Great spot - One horn on him!

Impressive Analysis - as precise as the performance

🇮🇪🧙❤️🍀

A very complete and perfectly realised artistic vision. This, plus the performances from Ukraine and Switzerland show that as much thought and effort went into creating striking images and staging that, along with committed performances by the artistes, elevated the overall presentation to a very high artistic level

Me hace gracia tu percepción, aunque me gustaría que ante la sencillez que viste y que apenas canta como ,la has valorado muy pobre me gustaría ver cómo o que hubieses reflejado vos en ese escenario.. Aspecto no solo la gran apuesta de la canción sino todas las actuaciones participantes de Eurovisión. Os cita si puede gustar más o menos. Me sorprendió tu reacción. Un saludo.

As for as I understand they originally had something like "free Palestine" or "ceasfire" written in Ogham script on their face during rehearsals but was told to change it after rehearsals in order to preserve the non political nature of the contest. So the aired version at the semi-final version apparently stated "Crown the Witch" (I think this is correct but my understanding of Ogham script is quite limited). I've not seen any primary sources in regards to the situation but it sounds very plausible given the EBU's broadcasting standards. Also the outfit they reveal is in the colours of the transgender pride flag given Bambi is queer and takes great pride in being an ambassador for queer people in Ireland. Really enjoyed your video and insights by that way, you have a new subscriber :)

I do not think fantastic staging necessarily takes away from the vocal performance! They were great vocally while doing everything required of them for the staging. Theres the small shake when they are turned by the dancer before the drop but otherwise its like perfect (to me)

the changing of the black dress is into another dress in the colours of transgender flag... il passaggio dall'abito nero è a un abito con i colori della bandiera transgender

Coróin an chailleach

Very Good act … brilliant. The traditional format of the eurovisiom has changed a long time ago @user-rc
