France FRANCE 2019 - Bilal Hassani - Roi

[musicfan]

I thought it was boring and the staging seemed desperate to make a message. Maybe it was thought gimmicky enough in Eurovision terms to be higher up the table but in a song contest I wouldn't have complained about it being bottom.

Bilal, I'm asking for forgiveness. You were 16th in my ranking at best, your franco-english mess made me frown more than once and your vocals weren't on points, but at least I can listen to your song on repeat and your chorus is pretty likeable. I actually caught myself humming it from time to time. And I know you poured your heart into this song.
I won't change my 6, but you grew on me.

Y’all did Bilal so dirty, I hope you’re happy with the alternative this year
But in all seriousness, France was on such a good way with their charismatic singers and more or less fresh and modern songs and now this...

Pitoyable....

Pitoyable....

?
Care to explain ? Do you think I'm pitoyable because I suddenly had a urge to go back to our entry from last year and maybe revise my opinion a little ? For the record, I kinda liked Roi, far from being my favorite because of the points mentioned above but it wasn't bad. I didn't wait for Tom Leeb to have some positive thoughts about this entry, the fact The Best in Me didn't live up to expectations only pushed me to express them.
