The performance included a spectacular light show and dramatic costume change, calling on the crowd to 'Crown the Witch'.
Speaking after their qualification for the final, Bambie Thug said it felt 'surreal' and they were having an 'out of body experience'.
Jedward, who represented Ireland in the Eurovision in 2011 and 2012, said Bambie Thug has brought an 'electric' atmosphere to this year's competition.
"Bambie is absolutely amazing, making the impact that's needed. It's gonna rock all of Europe. That's what Ireland needed at the Eurovision. The energy here this year has all been brought up by Bambie. The acts prior to them on stage wasn't there, but then when Bambie came out, it was electric".
John and Edward said Bambie Thug is having a big impact in Malmo.
"I definitely think the attitude, like, the looks of Bambi serving on stage is really good. Like, they definitely are rocking it".
