I hope will hurt haha but it's not gonna happen, we're doomed

Nooooooooo we aren't doomed to be prevented from reaching the top 10!

Gorgeous performance by Alma

It was deliciously dramatic I have no clue what the press reviewers were talking about

[John1]

I have to say that ending up on the 12th place isn't as awful as I reckoned when it came to the jury voting at first.

So happy the televoters did screw her over like the jury did I was a little worried after seeing she was performing 25th

It was honestly my favorite performance of the night. I absolutely loved everything about it. They really aced their presentation

[Geborgenheit]

0 points to Belgium ? Seriously ?

12th is not that bad. I was expecting a little bit better from the jury but well it could be worst. I hope France Télévision will continue promoting Eurovision in such a good way and that they will choose a great song for next year

This was my favourite together with Belgium and deserved way way way higher

Happy to see France returning to good entries this year. If running order wasn't so late I think that a top 10 spot would have been more than achievable.

a love song in the language of love, it kind of did deserve higher. entered in the wrong year

One of the better songs, different than the rest and mostly in native language and soundwise very representative of the country yet contemporary, and of course the juries dissed it. The public proved once again they are more open minded! Similar scenario as with France 2010 when the juries dissed a contemporary French Pop song while the public "got it".
