About this episode

Ireland is again asking its people to choose their Eurovision song via The Late Late Show on 3 February. Although there are (only) six songs in the running, broadcaster RTÉ has given everyone something to hang their hats on.

Michael and Io listen to all six songs with you, sharing their thoughts on what makes a good song and what makes a good Eurovision song.

And you can have your say too.

Who are Michael and Io not happy with?

Is Io optimistic about it all?

What gives Michael all the childhood feels?

🗳️ Have your say: Vote for your Eurosong winner right now!
