Samantha Mumba brands Eurosong panelists 'vile' after missing out on Eurovision
Norwegian singer EMMY will fly the flag for Ireland this May
Singer Samantha Mumba has hit out at the Eurosong panel â calling them "vile and rude".
The Gotta Tell You hitmaker missed out on representing Ireland at this year's Eurovision after the public chose EMMY during RTEâs Eurosong special last Friday night.
But speaking afterwards, Samantha hit out the Eurosong panel, which included Laura Fox, Bambie Thug, Donal Skehan and Arthur Gourounlian.
Taking aim, she said: "Special mention to the 'panel' (aside from Bambie who I stan) who not only didnât have the credentials, experience or professionalism required and were unnecessarily rude and vile to all the finalists - my parting gift them is a bag of [aubergine emoji] to slowly choke on," the My Way singer said.
"Would have said this in person but they all left the green room before I had the opportunity to unsurprisingly."
Mumba performed her single My Way on Friday night. While she scored high in the jury votes, she was not selected to represent Ireland in Switzerland this May.
Norwegian singer EMMY won with her song Laika Party, a tribute to the Russian dog that was the first living creature to be launched into Earthâs orbit in 1957.
EMMYâs act received 34 points, while Mumbaâs song came in second with 26.
Samantha also thanked her fans and everyone who helped her song and performance come together.
"Thank you so so much for all the incredible messages and love!! Iâve tried to respond to them all," she said. "I am beyond proud of myself and the team for all the work and dedication we all put into this performance. I honestly wouldnât change a thing. Truly. Those that got it, GOT ITâŠ..and those that didnât, thatâs ok too. Itâs my art and I stand by it.
"Personally, everyone already knows how I feel and my deep level of gratitude but I would like to credit:
"@producervdub1 @avehre and @thedimitrigreen for collaborating on this beast of a song with me!!
"@sagescales My outside heart and forever inspo. @irishmarc Creative Director/ Bestie that sneaks into my mind and makes my ideas come to life in a more unhinged way than I could ever lol. @presencepr The absolute best of the best. @ryantresdale For letting me be such an independent Capricorn but also being at the end of the phone if and when needed!! @danemckiernan @bshinners1 @odhranmcl @john__fitz @ciaranmacm my co-stars I adore you and Iâm confident youâll make an irish dancer out of me yet!

We would have all been lost without you!"
Samantha concluded her post by thanking the cast and crew of the Late Late Show: "Lastly- huge thank you to @latelaterte who has the absolute best crew and team. It was a joy to see and work with you all again!! Most importantly the very best of luck to the sweetest @emmykgk00 please fly the flag and make us proud in Switzerland!!"

Their role is to give their honest reaction to the performances on the night, offering their thoughts on the likely success of the song and act at the Eurovision Song Contest. Our panel did this in a thoughtful and considered way. It seems this was in line with the public vote that ultimately made the decision on the artist and song they wished to represent Ireland at this yearâs contest.
"It's never easy to offer a personal opinion, as not everyone will agree. Our panel did that with the utmost care and we wish to extend our thanks to them for the excellent job they did on Friday night."
