Re: FRANCE 2018

Totally agree. Very impressive performance. Isn't he that guy born in Lisboa?

Lisandro Cuxi was. I think Masoe also has Portuguese parents, if I'm not mistaken?

True.

Re: FRANCE 2018

One positive thing I'm taking from this NF: I'm glad to know that I still remember some bits of French I learned at school 7 years ago Genuinely surprised at that

Re: FRANCE 2018

I think "OK ou KO" is easily my favorite so far

Re: FRANCE 2018

Emmy Liyana - "O.K Ou K.O.": The voice I like the most so far. It starts nicely, it's contemporary and credible, and well-produced and thought out. I like the tempo, the groove of it (it sounds like Zazie at times, which isn't a bad thing), the "high note" is well-introduced (unlike in "Eva"). It's a bit repetitive melody-wise, but I think I like that song tbh, there are enough elements for it to keep me interested. With a nice staging and vocal rehearsals, she could rock this tbh. +1 for the pink hair and black lipstick Go Emmy!

Re: FRANCE 2018

i really like the show so far. Probably better than a random Melodifestivalen semi.

Re: FRANCE 2018

That wasn't anything special imo. It was alright but It just plodded along at the same pace throughout. I'm not getting this Spanish eurofan style hype right now in the audience.

This is my worry, I feel like if this is the selected song for Lisbon I'll maybe get tired of it by May! But hey, that doesn't matter, it causes a great first impression and that is the most important thing. With the right staging and Emmy's amazing look it can be a very powerful entry in May.

Re: FRANCE 2018

Emmy Liyana - the only negative thing is her look. I mean clothes. + she was a little bit stiff in the beginning. I liked her. Not sure if her entry gets many points in Lisbon.

Omg you're all so rough with the French entries so far...

I think one of the problems is this small stage, it doesn't allow the songs to shine and reach their potential. It's always hard to judge in these situations.

I just don't get why most of them are alone on stage, that's my only issue

 

[John1]

Re: FRANCE 2018

Well, I'd say that you're much more able to focus on the entry, which is the most important thing to do?

Whatever, the stage from Destination Eurovision won't be alike with the one in Lisbon.

Re: FRANCE 2018

she's weak live....and the song is ruined

Re: FRANCE 2018

Enéa is not the best performer, cute song

 

[tuorem]

Re: FRANCE 2018

Enéa - "I'll Be There": tropical-house hybrid, here we come... Pleasant enough song to listen to when it's on, but it's very transparent both musically and vocally. This stands no chance, despite the fun Enéa seems to have on stage. I don't get this trend of choruses in English, it feels so out of place to me. Cute but meh, quickly heard, quickly forgotten.

Re: FRANCE 2018

Well that was a terrible vocal performance. But the song is a fun little bop!
