Without knowing her, being exposed to the buzz around the contest and the participants, or knowing the betting rankings, how did American viewers react to Noa Kirl's Eurovision performance with Unicorn after being first exposed to it? This is exactly what the popular American web series React sought to examine, in which participants from different ages and backgrounds gather to give their opinions on a variety of topics, including prominent cultural events.
This time as part of the series, a group of critics gathered for an important task: ranking the ten most prominent Eurovision songs from the last contest, among them, of course, "Unicorn" by Noa Kirel. All this, as mentioned, without having been exposed to songs or performers beforehand.
US viewers react to Noa Kirl's performance at Eurovision
Noa's performance was presented to them immediately after Belgium's performance, which received a rather lukewarm review, but it turns out that it only opened their eyes and appetite, since the very first second they watched Kirel's performance they responded with exclamations of enthusiasm.
"I'm speechless," one visitor said. "What energy. It's exactly what you expect and want," the others added. "This is Eurovision. The competition was hers," enthused another critic. "Divine feminine energy. She's such a cannonball," added another, with everyone without exception ranking her in the top three and three of them even confidently placing her in first place.
In the end, when the moment of truth arrived and the official locations were revealed to them, the critics did not hide their surprise at the real rankings that placed Noa in third place, with one of them even declaring at the end of the video: "Israel, you were robbed."
