We will definitely do better this year, there is no possible comparison with our previous entries in terms of potential. It's a feel-good song with a rhythm that will probably appeal to the viewers. The chorus is in English, and I think it's ok, it blends rather well with the verses (much more than Echo for instance) and the "Yoouuuu" hook will make it memorable I guess. Performance-wise, well it's not stellar by any stretch of the imagination, but it does the job, one doesn't need amazing vocal skills to sing this anyway. Now, all they have to do is not ruin our chances with the staging, which will have to be simple and appealing.
My guess: I can imagine this being in top 20 for sure, top 15 is doable as well, top 10 we'll have to be lucky and on point. However, no way this could be ranked higher than 10th in the final. I'm not mad at it, I mean anything better than 20th position will already be a victory for France 2.
As for my personal opinion, this is not my type of music at all. This music genre [MENTION=9441]RainyWoods[/MENTION] described in his last post is the standard genre French record companies have been favoring for about 10 years now (feel-good guitars and clappings song), and I've always tended to avoid it because it does nothing to me. I think the genre itself is boring, cheesy and uninspired. But my reaction to our 2016 entry is "ok", it feels good to finally have a song that doesn't scream bottom 5 at first listen and I genuinely think it could fare well (considering our past results). Still, I'm not going to be crazy about it (for the main reason above), and if this year isn't as weak as 2013, this won't make it to my personal top 10.
As for the teasing, I give it a big fat zero
Today is not even the official presentation date, but whatevs!
