16 people from different countries, of different ages and professions took part in this year’s “The Public Reacts to Eurovision 2021” 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).

This year’s series will start with their review and their reactions to the song that is going to represent Ireland – “Maps” by Lesley Roy. 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 Irish entry, and how did they score it right here:

The poll will close when tomorrow’s review of Slovenian entry “Amen” by Ana Soklič is published, and then we will also announce the total score that Ireland received.

As we mentioned, 16 of our editors have also scored each of the songs from 1 to 10. The Irish song scored a total of 99 points from the ESCBubble team:
