Bambie Thug, 31, a non-binary artist from County Cork, delivered a showstopping performance of their song Doomsday Blue for the crowd in Malmo, Sweden.
Ireland's performance at the Eurovision semi-final on Tuesday got the continent talking with many viewers predicting it could win the contest.
Bambie Thug immediately began trending on X/Twitter during the show with many viewers praising the standout performance. They sang while performing a ritual surrounded by candles and were joined on stage by a male dancer wearing demonic makeup and fake teeth 'Totally flabbergasted! Blown away by this act. It was pure art. Although I don't like the song, the total package was amazing.'
Bambie, who describes their music as 'ouija pop' was feeling the pressure to deliver a good performance given Ireland has not qualified for the Eurovision final since Ryan O'Shaughnessy finished 16th with Together in 2018. They added: 'I've had so many people drawing me, making me bracelets and making cute things. had loads of lovely messages from parents about their children loving the song and about some queer kids feeling like they can come out.'
