The Public Reacts to Finland: Aksel – Looking Back
14 people from different countries, of different ages and professions took part in this year’s “The Public Reacts to Eurovision 2020” project done by ESCBubble. 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).
We continue this year’s series of Public Reactions with the song that was going to represent Finland – “Looking Back” by Aksel. In addition to telling us their thoughts and impressions, we also asked them all to score the song out of 10. The comments of every single one of them may have not been added to the video, but their scores have been added of course. Check out what they had to say about the Finnish entry, and how did they score it right here:
In order to find the best song of Eurovision 2020, we also need YOUR vote! Score the Finnish song from 1 (very bad) to 10 (amazing) in our poll here:
The poll will close when tomorrow’s review of the Georgian entry – “Take Me As I Am” by Tornike Kipiani is published, and then we will also announce the total score that Finland received.
As we mentioned, 14 of our editors have also scored each of the songs from 1 to 10. The Finnish song scored a total of 55 points from the ESCBubble team:
