Re: FRANCE 2018

Does anyone know whether 'Mercy' was being utterly endorsed by the international jury?

Re: FRANCE 2018

Wasn't "Eva" said to be a potential ESC winner too though? xthink I haven't heard their snippet, but I hope it's much more exciting than Lisandro's effort (and a real standout).

Oh, Eva isn't that bad but tbh I'd rather consider M&M as a potential top 5 placement entry. Just saying... :(

It really grew on me over the past few days and I'm very excited.

Re: FRANCE 2018

Yes ! They got 10-12 points from pratically everyone. Only Amir the idiot gave them 2 points.

I didn't know whether they qualified or not, but Amir is still one of these juries, who I love, even though he's randomly awarding its points. For instance, he awarded Louka 10 points in order to prevent Ehla from making it through. Childish... :(

Oh sorry...
Yes he was definitely the worst french jury. He even admitted that he should have give higher points to Malo on Twitter. So amateur.
I think he will apologise too for the low points that he gave to M&M. They did not deserve 2 points at all.

And it was so funny to see Amir commenting about everyone's stage presence.
Bitch, what the fuck ? Don't you remember that you were not that good ? :lol:

Do you think M&M can supposedly overtake Lisandro and win over him? Is their entry soooo good?

Well, I don't like Lisandro's entry so I can't be neutral.
Mercy is different. It's intimate and sweet. I really don't know how to explain it but it sounds so peaceful. The topic is very sensitive but the song is not too sentimental. They found the middle ground.

But I think Lisandro will win only because a lot of people think that it sounds Eurovision. But they're wrong in my opinion. And I can't see him doing well.

Re: FRANCE 2018

Jeez this semifinal is even better than the last one xheat

I love ''Mercy'', "Rêve de gamin", "Lisboa Jérusalem", "Tu me manques" in no specific order.
I like "Là-haut".
"Ailleurs" and ''Same'' are not my thing.
Still haven't heard "My World" and "Un jour j’ai rêvé".

Re: FRANCE 2018

He's got 3 months to work on that tho.

Regardless of the song we'll pick this year, I highly doubt the winning act will not be able to at least perform properly. Juries definitely won't massively vote for someone vocally questionable.

All acts have to be ready now if they want to go to Eurovision :lol: if they aren't able to sell their songs to the French viewers, there is no point in hoping it'll work in front of a European audience.

Re: FRANCE 2018

Nassi is still my favourite, even though the 35 sec snippet actually brought hopes of an even better song.... But still, after listening to the whole song, I really like this! But there are also other good entries in the second semi; Tu me manques...

Re: FRANCE 2018

Mercy is so amazing. For people who can doubt about this song. Trust me, this song is so far better in live than in studio. I know some people who where at the recording of the semi-final and they all told me the same thing : The live was so amazing. They killed it ! I think we need to wait the live version. It wil give us a better vision of the potential of this song

Re: FRANCE 2018

I just heard the full version of "Mercy" and i'm finding difficulty with understanding quite how it's a big favourite. I don't dislike it, but at the same time I feel nothing at all for it. It's just one of those songs that's there and exists, barely. Like an album track you always forget. The production values are good but that's not enough for me. The song isn't dislikeable but it feels throwaway, as well as something that's very much two a penny (if not at Eurovision, then outside of it). I don't think the sleek production saves it.

Maybe I should wait for the live performance though, as I didn't think i'd like "Ok ou KO". People are clearly seeing something in this "Mercy" song that i'm not able to see yet.
