Oh god the delegation will be SO insufferable, i can sense it now already.
He's great live, but the song is still not it. That shows how french mainstream music is. He's a big star, but his music is so so so mid. That's the best word to resume french mainstream music : mid. Bad lyrics, bad...
Damn this year's Sanremo looks amazing. Can't wait to see Diodato again, and that Ricchi e Poveri surprise hypes me a lot.
This will be fun, this will be fun.
What surprises me the most is the lukewarm reaction by people who've been hyped by his participation... I mean, come on, this is his typical kind of song so i had basically no surprises. And i think it's good actually, this is a genuine Slimane song without will to mold into a "Eurovision-kind...
I know it sucks to have another ballad, chanson thing, but you gotta remember : as long as ARA will stay HOD don't wait too much for any wacky, ambitious, upbeat, crazy stuff... I'm thinking about this because i remember an interview she did last year on a radio just before ESC and they told her...
Not really a fan of Slimane to say the least (his duet thing with Vitaa is just horsesh*t to my ears) but i admit that i like the fact FTV finally finds a way to send someone who's really popular here when he's competing, if it can appeal more big local stars i'm here for it.
As for the song...
Ugh leave that nepobaby alone
Anyways, this is never gonna happen but lemme dream, Zaho de Sagazan would be a wonderful pick, imo exactly what we should send to ESC style and sound-wise (dunno if someone already mentioned her here tho)
I don't think we will see them next year actually since they aren't EBU members for now (MCR who represents Monaco in EBU are not the owners of TVMonaco), i think we'll have to wait just a bit, maybe for 2025. With Luxembourg returning, i'm deffo here for it.
On the other hand, maybe EBU will...
Above all, we should stop speaking about this language thing. French, english, franglish, breton, german, whatever... What matters is the song above anything else. Locals will find anything to criticize so at least FTV should just do their own thing and even if it's a song in english but a...
I really think this is something really particular to us, the "Eurovision filter" is a turn-off for the Average Jean. For exemple i saw on Twitter a screenshot of someone saying to his Eurofan brother "Hey Tattoo is a cool track, she won twice" "Yea i know but you didn't like it then"...
Yes, she is really much involved in the creative process, and for a proper reason : i don't know if someone said that already, but she's not only French Eurovision and JESC HoD but also France TV's head of music and entertainment programs. Thus said, i agree with you, she's taking imo too much...
One thing's for the sure, there will be a lot of work from the delegation and they just have to change things if they really want to go in for the win. Especially please do not make Alexandra Redde-Amiel decide all by herself. It's not even sure if she'll still be here next year, if she really...
I don't think so honestly. For example, Aya Nakamura is one of the most-listened french singers out of our borders (i think it's even to most listened since Edith Piaf), yet a lot of average french people hate her because they think she is full of herself and so on... She played few years ago at...
