Since 2018, the performer has been the first Irish competitor to advance to the final of the Eurovision Song Contest.

Moreover, Serbia, Portugal, Slovenia, Ukraine, Lithuania, Finland, Cyprus, and Luxembourg made it to the championship game on Saturday night. This Thursday night is the second semi-final.

When Bambi reached the fourth stage, a stunning light show and a dramatic wardrobe change shocked the spectators around Europe. As the lights went out on this evening's Irish performance, the audience erupted in cries of “Crown the Witch.”

Bambie Thug's Malmo staging featured a ring of lights, suggesting that they had tapped into their witchy image. Bambie also showed out the transgender flag on their outfit halfway through the song's conclusion.

At Malmo Arena, Johnny Logan sang Loreen's Euphoria in honour of his fellow two-time winner of the Eurovision Song Contest during the break in voting.

Tánaiste Micheál Martin had earlier wished them success and said he was proud to see a performer with such distinct skill represent Ireland and Cork in this year's championship.
