FRANCE 2017 - Alma - Requiem

[escYOUnited]

If only this entry were staged better, then it could have easily ended up in the top 5. This is so lame.

Well I for sure thought Alma had a better staging than for example Amir and MM, but yeah it could've been more for France seeing the discrepancies between the juries and televote that year
France's had a renaissance in Eurovision the latest years but this is the entry I like the least actually

She's beautiful though

France was 200 Points away from the Top5. 9th Place over Australia is the Maximum this Entry could reach.

After many years in the ESC wilderness, came back on the right track with Amir in 2016 und in 2017 they continued to send great artists with good songs. Almas song "Requiem" is a slighty oriental influenced title with a great rhythm and atmosphere, onfortunately the English parts in the chorus spoiled the song a bit, completely in French would have been the better choice.

Despite this, this was my favourite entry from in this decade and I really enjoyed her performance in the final with the beautiful background of Paris. Because of the English parts I couldn´t give her the maximum, but the song was for me still worth.
