The Eurovision Semi Final has concluded with some shock results as Ireland celebrated getting through to Saturday night's final, while Australia were sadly sent home despite debuting the first ever Indigenous performance.
The first 10 acts were confirmed on Tuesday evening after half the countries representatives took to the stage in Malmo Sweden to fight for a place in the final.
Taking to the stage with an extraordinary performance, Ireland are straight through to the final with many viewers even predicting it could win the contest.
Bambie Thug, 31, a non-binary artist from County Cork, delivered a showstopping performance of their song Doomsday Blue as they sang while performing a ritual surrounded by candles and were joined on stage by a male dancer wearing demonic makeup and fake teeth.
Bambie Thug immediately began trending on X/Twitter during the show with many viewers praising the standout performance.

Sadly Australia didn't do enough as their band Electric Fields were axed in a brutal elimination, despite debuting the first ever Indigenous performance
Also joining Ireland in the final are Serbia's TEYA DORA, Portugal's iolanda, Slovenia's Raiven and Ukraine's alyona alyona & Jerry Heil.
As well as Lithuania's Silvester Belt, Finland's Windows95man, Cyprus' Silia Kapsis, Luxembourg's TALI, and Croatia's Baby Lasagna, who are also a firm fan favourite.
However, sadly Australia didn't do enough as their band Electric Fields were axed in a brutal elimination.
The group, comprised of vocalist Zaachariaha Fielding and musician Michael Ross, set the stage alight with their song One milkali (One blood), which contains Yankunytjatjara lyrics - the language of the Anangu people.
They were joined on-stage by vocalists Brendan Maclean, Alyson Joyce and Simi Vuata, and didgeridoo player Fred Leone.
It was the first time Indigenous lyrics have been performed on the Eurovision stage, as well as the first time a contestant has ever played the didgeridoo.
Sadly, it wasn't enough to win over audiences, as they failed to make it past the first semi-final making it the worst result for Australia since singer Montaigne failed to qualify for the grand final in 2021.
Australia are one of five bands out of 15 who didn't make the cut, joined by Poland's Luna, Iceland's Hera Björk, Azerbaijan's FAHREE feat. Ilkin Dovlatov and Moldova's Natalia Barbu.
A further 10 will then be confirmed on Thursday after the second semi final as 20 countries going through will join the Big Five - UK, Italy, France, Spain and Germany - who automatically have a place in the final, as well as last year's winners Sweden.

On Thursday the remaining countries Malta, Albania, Greece, Switzerland, Czechia, Austria, Denmark, Armenia, Latvia, San Marino, Georgia, Belgium, Estonia, Israel, Norway and the Netherlands will compete for their spot at the second live semi-final.
Meanwhile Olly Alexander gave it his all for the first performance of his catchy tune Dizzy.
The Years and Years singer, 33, who's representing Great Britain, was joined by group of hunky shirtless backup dancers as they performed the explosive number.
With the help of some clever camera work, Olly and his dancers appeared to be spinning around and walking on the ceiling in the jam-packed performance.
Olly's boxing themed routine, which is already guaranteed a place in Saturday's Grand Final, saw him don a distressed vest and red trousers which was worn with a colour coordination jock strap over the top.
The raunchy number saw Olly sensually running his hands over the dancer's shirtless bodies before they entered into a dance sequence and the singer thrusted to the beat.
Filmed inside the room for the majority of the performance, it was only in the final chorus the entourage broke out onto the stage as he belted out the final notes.
As the crowd went wild, the commentary hosts Scott Mills and Rylan Clark exclaimed: 'Yes Olly, that's how you do it!'

And as fans go wild for the staging some share concerns for his 'shaky vocals' as they hope the singer is 'saving his voice' for Saturday's final
However it seems fans were split on the performance as they took to Twitter to share their opinions.
While half seemed to love the song and raved about the expressive staging, others noticed Olly's vocals were slightly off and shaky, as one even hoped he was saving his vocals ahead of Saturday's final.
Raving about the performance fans exclaimed: 'so proud of you Olly!❤️✨ you smashed it, the vocal, staging, visuals, choreo, dancing was stunning!!! And those pirouettes by the dancers incredible! Well done #teamdizzy #Eurovision #Eurovision2024 ❤️xxx'.
'Loved Olly. Great song. Great staging. Fab performance'; 'OMFG @alexander_olly OFF THE SCALE TONIGHT!!!!! SO SO SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!!#Eurovision2024 #Eurovision2024 @bbceurovision always doing a great job!!!!!'
However others shared their concern over Olly's vocals as they wrote: 'Well, Olly's vocals were a little dodgy in places, but that staging was superb. What an ending.'
'Not sure if Olly got overexcited or nervous but that vocal was very pitchy, I've heard him live before and he can do much better than that. Just hope the over-staging doesn't detract him too much from the vocals.'
