France FRANCE 2015 - Lisa Angell - N'oubliez pas

[tuorem]

I'm disappointed, it's not even a strong word to describe my feeling.
I try to be objective: Lisa was heavily applauded by the press center and many people highlighted a great effort about staging. A second position is way too early, especially when you consider that we got two crap running order in 2013 and 2014.
I have also compassion for Slovenia, Israel and Estonia but since the beginning, we knew that too many great songs got the first half.

A 20th ranking or lower can only be disgusting.

To me, the fact that the first half is stronger isn't even an argument because they could (and should) have spread everyone without blatantly favoring the same old ones (Nordics again). It's not ok to ruin the chances of some favorites only, Ukraine opened the show last, why not Sweden? Of course, Slovenia is more dispensable. As for us, well, this is ridiculously scandalous. I'm bitter about this draw.

A more even draw was possible when taking into account countries that already had enough early slots:

01.
02.
03.
04.
05.
06.
07.
08.
09.
10.
11.
12.
13.

Final Dress Rehearsal

Seriously, second...

 

[Quent91]

You can get a nice ranking but not a winner.

And look at the microphone at 2:48

If her name were Liså Angell, she'd be 13th.

 

[Lupus]

If her name were Liså Angell, she'd be 13th.

Yes, but her song would be nowhere near as good...

 

[GWTW1939]

Yes, but her song would be nowhere near as good...

Doesn't matter....we know the actual song means nothing

She would still be 13th, EBU would be bending over backwards for her to do well and fanboys would be acting like the song was the best thing since sliced bread

 

[Lupus]

Doesn't matter

She would still be 13th, EBU would be bending over backwards for her to do well and people would be acting like the song was the best thing since sliced bread

Yes, but I'd rather have that amazing song in existence as opposed to something inferior like Heroes. I'm being selfish! I'd rather she came 22nd with a song I adore than 1st with a song I merely like.

 

[GWTW1939]

Savor the moment!!!

 

[Quent91]

Italy ?

 

[Fluke]

Anyone else think everyone's understimating "the grey vote" ? She is the only senior performer this year....

 

[MyHeartIsYours]

I always remember a phrase Terry Wogan used about the 2006 French entry, "... but it's the type of song the French have been singing since they hung out the washing on the Maginot Line." Well that phrase applies to this song too. It has actually grown on me recently, the background is fantastic on the stage, and Lisa is awesome, but the song is just a bit depressing. However, that doesnt take away from the fact that it is a good song, and I think it deserves 8 points! Good luck France

 

[Evalngelion]

Her background's performance remins me of a Silent Hill Scene, But more elegant of course, least there are not terrible creatures like lordi lol.

Good Luck tonight France. Lisa will get my votes, the most of them. Some of my friends will vote for her too.
She deserves a top 10 because the song is good and her voice is too.

Takk Norge ! Med vennlig hilsen fra Frankrike. Lykke til Morland og Debrah !

2012 and 2013 didn't do well either.

Knez from Montenegro is older than her

I think a lot of older people will like the French entry
