What the UK audience thought of Eurovision 2023
A year’s worth of preparation, anticipation and hard work has come to an end as the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest took centre stage in Liverpool on the 13th of May.
As UK’s final position in the Grand Final was a disappointment to the hosting nation, PartyCasino created a survey where 1000 participants from the UK that followed the Grand Final on TV or live in Liverpool, answered 13 questions about this year’s show and what they would like to see for 2024.
The results reveal that “I Wrote a Song” is one of the UK's favourite songs, and that Mae Muller is still considered one of the most talented artists, out of the final.
The survey also covers questions on the voting format, how the audience would like the next UK representative to be chosen and if the song and stage show is equally important.
The full results are presented below and here is an overview of the main topics:
- The voting system in Eurovision
- How the UK acts should be chosen

- Importance of semi-finals
- Following Eurovision 2024
- Importance of song and performance
