18 people of different ages, professions and background took part in this year’s “The Public Reacts to Eurovision 2023” by ESCBubble. They are all casual viewers of the Eurovision Song Contest – none of them are big 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 with the song that is representing the Netherlands – “Burning Daylight” by Mia Nicolai & Dion Cooper. In addition to telling us their thoughts and impressions, we also asked them all to score the song out of 10. Check out what they had to say about the Dutch entry, and how did they score it right here:
