Écoutez moi
Moi la chanteuse à demi
Parlez de moi
À vos amours, à vos amis
Parler leur de cette fille aux yeux noirs et de son rêve fou
Moi c'que j'veux c'est écrire des histoires qui arrivent jusqu'à vous
C'est tout

Voilà, voilà, voilà, voilà qui je suis
Me voilà même si mise à nue j'ai peur, oui
Me voilà dans le bruit et dans le silence

Regardez moi, ou du moins ce qu'il en reste
Regardez moi, avant que je me déteste
Quoi vous dire, que les lèvres d'une autre ne vous diront pas
C'est peu de chose mais moi tout ce que j'ai je le dépose là, voilà

Voilà, voilà, voilà, voilà qui je suis
Me voilà même si mise à nue c'est fini
C'est ma gueule c'est mon cri, me voilà tant pis
Voilà, voilà, voilà, voilà juste ici
Moi mon rêve mon envie, comme j'en crève comme j'en ris
Me voilà dans le bruit et dans le silence

Ne partez pas, j'vous en supplie restez longtemps
Ça m'sauvera peut-être pas, non
Mais faire sans vous j'sais pas comment
Aimez moi comme on aime un ami qui s'en va pour toujours
J'veux qu'on m'aime parce que moi je sais pas bien aimer mes contours

Voilà, voilà, voilà, voilà qui je suis
Me voilà même si mise à nue c'est fini
Me voilà dans le bruit et dans la fureur aussi
Regardez moi enfin et mes yeux et mes mains
Tout c'que j'ai est ici, c'est ma gueule c'est mon cri
Me voilà, me voilà, me voilà
Voilà, voilà, voilà, voilà
Voilà​

It's an interesting jury to say the least. Glad to see Chimène Badi on it. Almost completely French too.

These are such interesting juries indeed. I wonder what Gaultier is doing here :whistle:

He does have jury experience, he was president of the jury of Miss France 2016 and 2018 (co-president with Iris Mittenaere). Let's not forget he has designed for some ESC alums: Dana International's parrot-feather dress and Madame Monsieur's stage costumes

It's hard to say from the performances who was best, but probably Barbara and Juliette. My queens! xheart

There could have been some sound issues, because Poney isn't the only one struggling... Andriamad, Céphaz, Amui, 21 juin le duo - all of them sound off key to me as well at times. Of course the record quality isn't the best. But Barbara and Juliette are 100% on point like true professionals, pretty close to the other versions. Philippine and LMK also sound very decent.

I will wait with claiming who is "off-key" and "bad" until I see it al live - but whatever, I really cannot imagine a scenario that doesn't just crown 'Voila' on the spot. Good on you, eurosnobs. At least I don't hate your favourite, this time.

I noticed some of them didn't even perform in full force and I don't blame them at all, given it's just a press conference :) It's even more exciting to see them on the main stage soon with the right sound, to see their 100% and how they will cope with all the pressure.
Though at least half of them performed like it doesn't mater if it's 10 people there or the whole arena and I loved it.
ps. I hope that Andriamad will slay on the main stage, it seems like she didn't hear herself properly.

I actually hate it when international juries are involved. Why should they have a say in who is going to represent your country? It should be the choice of a country, not of a few individuals from abroad who are not even able to speak your language and understand most of the entries.

Apart from my general view on the stupid idea of including foreigners as part of the juries, I think that the line-up is quite diverse and interesting, for sure. Good luck, France.

Quite right. Time to be a grasping hanger-on elsewhere mr 'Laurence'. #GetDuncanOut.

Well, it's Duncan and our king probably is picked for the sake of being our king. Aside of that he's not worse than to say picking William Lee or Christer Björkman xcoffee

The voting format for this NF sucks ass big time. It's literally just a 12 song final. Why can't they just do a simple 50/50 split vote and have the winner like that? simple, easy and 100% fair with no messing around. Why are they doing some weird elaborate system of voting. I hate it when countries fuck about doing stupid voting formats for no reason what so ever. A televote advances 7, a jury then advances one more, then voting resets and they pick from that 8 - and all in 1 show. What is the point in an 8 song super final in a show with 12 songs??? Just pick 8 songs if they want 8 songs. This is worse than when Malta would have a 20 song semi final and then eliminate 2 or 3 songs for the final. There is a lot of great songs in this NF, so they better pick of them by the end of it.

most likely € € € because you have to vote more often to advance your winner, but it also helps if voters are actually undecided with their fist vote. It's still dumb though since all of it happens in one night.

I know that it's too early to make a prediction but I'm quite sure that France will not reach the Top 15 this year either.
Some of the songs sound really enjoyable but to me, but they lack mass appeal and most of them sound very non-competitive and like niche products.

I just hope if Voilà wins they don't bring us (once again) any Eiffel Towers for the staging:ROFLMAO:. But yeah, I fully stan Barbara Pravi and if she represents France she will easily be in my top 10 this year unless some other masterpieces come into action.
