Gotta say, I’m really disappointed with Erica Cody. Having competed in Eurosong herself, she would’ve known the contractual obligations facing her if she had went to Eurovision.
It’s not as easy as simply refusing to go. Contracts have been signed with RTÉ, EBU etc.
More than 400 Irish artists and creatives, including Eurosong runner-up Erica-Cody, have signed an open letter calling on Bambie Thug to boycott the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest. Read more:

I’m sorry but what a disgusting headline
@IrishMirror
@showbizsandy
. There was just no need to put “failure” in there.
She may not have qualified, but she’s gotten so many new fans, a sold-out show in Dublin, over 7.5 million streams for her two entries. She did us proud.

🇮🇪 Brooke's vocals are amazing, Juries won't blank this. The light show is probably the best of the year. I would've liked some cooler camera shots at times. The pyro at the end really make the last 20-30 seconds a proper moment. Qualifier? I think so.

Logged in and this is the first thing I see.
I’ve no idea how the EBU can justify the inclusion of Israel in this year’s contest. The safety of fans/delegations is under threat.
More this goes on, the further the contest is brought into disrepute.

🇮🇪 ‘We Are One’ Revamp idea 🇮🇪
The song is very anthemic so I decided to try add a instrumental break with an intense drum beat which will get the crowd involved and gives Conor time to move to the outer circle stage for the final 30 seconds of the song Swooping camera shots 🔑
You just know the general public/media in Ireland are going to jump on the bandwagon after we qualify on the Tuesday night 🇮🇪
Remember the ones who supported Bambie from the start! 🌟
🇨🇾 This had so much potential based on the pictures released. It falls really flat live. The camera cuts are atrocious and ruin the performance. My Greece 2018 fears could be coming true.

. They got emotional speaking on the podcast about the honor of representing Ireland and what it would mean to them.
To see the national AND public vote give their 12 points to them was really special💚
Honestly, I don’t care how famous you are or how much publicity you create by taking part. These comments are awful. Simply taking a spot away from another singer who actually cares and wants to succeed at Eurovision. A real shame.
I don’t think this has happened before. Usually we get a ‘best of luck’ interview just before the artist flies to Eurovision. Not the week after Eurosong!! 🤩
[UPDATE]
🇮🇱 According to Israel Hayom, KAN has already been asked TWICE to change the lyrics to Israel’s Eurovision 2024 entry, “Hurricane”, due to “fear[s] that [it] might be interpreted as political”.

I don’t see how people don’t realize artists are locked into contracts and have to follow the rules very very closely, ESPECIALLY cause it’s with a public broadcaster.
They could get into huge financial/legal trouble for breaking the contract.
The lads have been great representatives on this Eurovision journey, please please please don’t ruin it now by blaming politics etc.
The staging was good, they gave it their all, but at the end of the day the song just wasn’t good enough to get us through in this tough semi 🫶
A clear acknowledgement that the contest has been brought into disrepute but nothing is being done to combat it.
Don’t worry though, we’re united by music 😬
The EBU calls for all artists participating in this year’s Eurovision Song Contest to be treated respectfully and condemns all abuse and harassment.
For our full statement please go to
I’m not surprised but the lack of publicity around submissions being extended for Ireland 🇮🇪 by RTÉ is shocking. No point extending if you aren’t even going to publicize it yourselves
We have got to realize that artists have signed contracts with their public service broadcasters. They have to be very careful with what they say or else they could find themselves and the broadcasters in huge legal trouble.
I know we’d love them to go further but it is a start
The last few days have clearly showed us that
@rte
need a dedicated Eurovision Twitter account to keep Irish euro fans updated on what’s happening with Eurosong etc.
Erica was one of the nicest people to interact with over the last month. Always giving hugs, showing actual interest in you, up for a laugh etc.
Above all, she is professional. She knows the standards artists should receive. Sound is a common issue raised with TLLS. That’s it.

A few people wondering when the Doomsday Blue music video will be released…
In 2022 and 2023, the video was released about 5 weeks after Eurosong. We know filming is taking place next week so I’d say expect it to be released the first/second week of March ☘️
🇵🇱 Ochman's vocals are insane. A lot of onscreen effects like rain, thunder. More blue lighting (definitely the colour of the year). Juries will eat this up! Looking forward to the next run through.
