Re: FRANCE 2018

France and the world lost one of the great ESC winners today when France Gall went to show the angels how its done.Bang in the middle of the 1960s she showed how to win an ESC by connecting through the camera with the audience at home,not just through the song.Poupée de cire, poupée de son by France Gall was and always will be a seminal moment in ESC history.

Listening to most of the songs so far this year,maybe the writers can take a listen to this master class in how you position a bridge in a song,and for the artists how you lift the melody with emotional perfection as you come out of said bridge.Superb.

Re: FRANCE 2018

This is quite weak and we wouldn't be able to stand out much more than Alma or Amir did.

We'll have to wait for the full version and the live performance to be sure of its potential but personnaly, already based on the snippet, this would easily be my favourite French entry of the century. It's a modern pop-electro track with many influences sound in in it and I like her voice. Also, I find the couple very charismatic and French (if that makes sense) which a huge plus.

12 points de la Suisse pour Madame Monsieur x12s

Re: FRANCE 2018

What does "OK ou KO" means? :)

KO is slang for Knock Out,like when a boxer is knocked out in the ring he (or she) is KOed,Knocked Out.So Emmy might be saying you say Ok to her or she uses extreme violence on you.xstars

Re: FRANCE 2018

Time to post my faves based on the snippets available.
So in alphabetical order:

Emmy Liyana - "OK ou KO"
Lisandro Cuxi - "Eva"
Louka - "Mamma Mia"
Lucie - "My World"
Madame Monsieur - "Mercy"
Malo' - "Ciao"
Masoe - "Paradise"
Nassi - "Rêve de gamin"
Noée - "L'un près de l'autre"
Sarah Caillibot - "Tu me manques"
Sweem - "Là-haut"

Yes... 11 songs xheat so far Nassi is probably my top favorite but I'll wait for the full versions ;)
There's just one song that I don't like and it's considered one of the favorites so that's kinda bothering me... it's June the Girl, so please France

Re: FRANCE 2018

I'm so excited! I like literally almost every song here. Can Macedonia/Montenegro/San Marino etc please just take the acts that don't win here?

Honestly, the most intriguing snippet for me belongs to Max Cinnamon. I think it has the most unique instrumentation of all the songs and I'm especially keen for the full version.

Re: FRANCE 2018

I think Nassi song will be very good but not fine for eurovision, because it's a very risky choice for France. I think Madame Monsieur and Lisandro should be better

Don't worry about it, Lisandro has already won it, thus it doesn't truly matter.

Is he that popular? I didn't find his song that promising, so hopefully the juries won't favourize him that much...

Of course he's popular and his song looks one of the most promising somehow.
