Our series of public reviews continues tonight with the first of the six automatic finalists – France. After winning this year’s edition of Destination Eurovision, Bilal Hassani became the French entrant for Tel Aviv with his song “Roi”.

14 people from different countries, of different ages and professions took part in this year’s “Public Reaction” project. They are all casual viewers of the Eurovision Song Contest – none of them are huge fans of the Contest, and none of them have heard any of the songs before we played them all to them (except maybe the one representing their own country)

In the video you can hear the thoughts and impressions of our panel members from the very first time they listened to Bilal Hassani’s “Roi”, and we also asked them to score the song out of 10. Check it out here:
