    Ireland made history in ESC.
    Staging was totally out of this world.

    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 💚

      @@LocalEClown_Music We were a Celtic pagan country before the arrival of Christianity, We still have alot of symbolism and folklore that is related to our druidic past. A lot of us are raised hearing stories and things from that time period look at the Bealtine festival or Samhain what you would call Halloween both are festivals that originate in this time. Some of us take pride in that part of our culture in this there are alot of symbols like the triskele and various Celtic knots.

      Many of the “horror” tropes and tails originated from this lil island. Our history is insanely rich and complex.

      Halloween is Irish and Bram Stoker wrote Dracula based on his own experiences (I think he lived through the famine, also society stories of paranormal around that time) and Ireland has mythology of undead who drink human blood.

    And don't mess paganism and satanism, that's two different things.

    Best staging ever in ESC history! Firs time ever I was surprised, amazed and caught off guard, as I had no idea how they would stage this - and every little detail was 100% on point! The interaction Bambie has with the camera is some of the best in Eurovision history, and the transitions between pop and metal are amazingly executed. And keeping up the vocals as well as she did at the same time was amazing as well! This was by far the most original song of the year. I still believe thay the winning song had a better storyline, but I would have loved for Ireland to have come top 3 this yearat least. Switzerland, Ireland and Norway should have been the top3.

    We’re thankfully moving away from Christianity. My mother is the most profound catholic you’re likely to come across, and I’m pretty much a complete atheist. I’m just relieved we’ve finally sent something real to the Eurovision

    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. 😆

    • @itsjonathanbitch
      @itsjonathanbitch 2 місяці тому

      Catholic is a form of Christianity. It’s still considered the spread of Christianity to our pagan shores and calling paganism as satanic was an easy was to discredit pagan views.

    • @KFConyard
      @KFConyard 7 днів тому

      They tried but failed hahaha and Catholic is Christian please remember that. Christianity includes Catholics, Protestants, Orthodox Christian and arabic Christian. all Christianity... Americans for some reason do not get this element of theology. The history is Arabic - to orthodox to catholic - then split at reformation for protestants. simple as.

      @@LocalEClown_Music have you been to Ireland recently? Church-going numbers are less than 20%. Vast majority of people have very little respect for the church.

      @@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.

    • @Kate-v9d

      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.
