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​

This gives me France 2010 vibes....
So I want him with similar song...
Did you know that he will send a song in both french and polynesian similar to this one to France TV ?

Actually I would love a Polynesian song in our national final, but I want something better than "Ia Ora Na", the chorus is bad and it couldn't work at ESC, but with a real chorus and better verses (and solid vocals), It could be very orginal, I think, but let's see if it will make it to the NF first.

Or they could just take our former Miss France Vaimalama Chaves instead of him, with a polynesian balla or a contemporary pop song. :love:

He announced it more than a month ago, on june 22th :

And I just saw that his song was already ready on june 30th :

The problem is that it looks like he doesn't know that nothing is done both for ESC and for the new national final. 😂 He posted this on Facebook :

"As I had told you, lyrics in both french and tahitian, a rhythm as in my single "Ia ora na", a positive message, an anthem to party and sharing. It is pure tahitian pop, my brand, mix of modern and traditional music (more than 7 polynesian instruments). On stage, it will be visually very strong with traditional dancing and a Haka sequence (Ori Toa, war dance). A Haka for peace and fraternity. Here's my proposal for Eurovision 2021."

Exactly, lmao. 😂 I already feel sad for him, France 2 never chose a singer who officialised a submission publicly before France 2's official announcements of the contestants (but we never know, maybe his song will be very good and more Eurovision-compatible than "Ia ora na").

Is it wierd that today I heard like 100 times his 'entry for Eurovison 2021' and each time I feel bad because it could do well... Well I really hope he gets accepted and write another song....

His entry for Eurovision 2021 ? If you mean "Ia ora na", that song has nothing to do with Eurovision since she was released more than a year and half ago.

For the new national final, he wrote a song similar to "Ia ora na" but it won't be that one. If his new song is that good, France 2 will choose it for the national final, that's all.

It would be so cool to have this kind of sassy song. And you know who composed that smash hit ? Igit (DE2018) and Barbara Pravi ("L'un près de l'autre" from Noée, DE2018 too).

It's amazing that two singers from a very frenchy and classical genre succeeded at composing a bop like "Bim Bam Toi". They also worked together on "Maman me dit" from Angelina (JESC 2018), another Tik-tok hit :

We need to see them collaborating again on a french bop for the new national final with a talented singer, they can bring a very modern and "french-sounding" bop, c'mon.

Yes, Carla became the first french artist to pass the million of videos or something like that., with more than 10 million views. It has even reached 60 million views on youtube :

Sometimes I get lost in my mind and I imagine a Eurovision in France, with an "Electro" opening for the Grand Final with songs like "Titanium" from David Guetta and Sia, "This girl" from Kungs or "Taki Taki" from Dj Snake, it would be so much fire !😍

I'll like to see this artist participate in the Eurovision

I've discovered Maëlle in The Voice 2018 and supported her from the beginning and she finally won

But I'm still sad that we won't see Tom Leeb on scene :(

You should know that literally like 99% of all french eurofans want her to represent us, lmao. She has the perfect profile.

Her cover of "Wasting my young years" from London Grammar in The Voice was amazing :

And "Toutes les machines ont un coeur" is a pure bop, she could kill it on every genre.

Sadly, I don't think she could make it in a close future, even though she said that she could maybe make it one day (she said that more than two years ago).

Would you like this type of song for France (at least for the national final) ? Is it the type of song you expect from France ?

Last question, what type of song or genre do you expect from France ?
