Well, it is already number one on the ITunes chart (http://www.itunescharts.net/uk/charts/songs/2023/03/09) and the YouTube reaction videos are positive and the response on social media is also positive.

With a month to go until the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest in Liverpool I thought I would list all 37 competing songs (in alphabetical order):-
