France FRANCE 2018 - Madame Monsieur - Mercy

Re: FRANCE 2018

The four qualifiers are also my top 4 (not necessarily in that order), so I'm happy about the outcome. But now - whom to choose? I can't remember a NF in the past years where I had so many songs that I absolutely loved!

Re: FRANCE 2018

Wow, Isabelle & Christophe didn't cheat this time. The final is gonna be great because 7/8 qualifiers were the same as mine (Noée robbed by Louka).

And here's my top 8:

1. Madame Monsieur
2. Igit
3. Lisandro Cuxi
4. Nassi
5. Emmy Liyana
6. Malo'
7. Max Cinnamon
8. Louka

I think Madame Monsieur & Emmy Liyana are gonna stand out a lot, as they are the only non-male-solo acts.

PS Low-key shocked Sweem ended up in 5th place...

Re: FRANCE 2018

I already knew that Max qualified before the show, but damn I didn't expect him to be so high

Anyways, I don't think the televote will go for that and the international jury will have others higher

Didn't notice that, but it's indeed great news to them

Re: FRANCE 2018

Emmy Liyana might win, mark my words. Anyway, only M&M and Nassi join Emmy, Lisandro and Malo as strong contenders.

Re: FRANCE 2018

So I hope Lisandro Cuxi, Max Cinnamon and Louka will all split votes in the final, allowing Madame Monsieur and Emmy Liyana into the top 2.
Hopefully Emmy wins, "OK ou KO" is the best one by far in this NF for me. With a strong performance that does it justice, it can get a top ten in Lisbon.
The only alternatives for me would be "Mercy" or "Lisboa Jerusalem". "Rêve de gamins" too, if Nassi can somehow improve his performance abilities in time.

If I'm not wrong, televoters' points will be proportional to votes. Honestly, we also may be in for a surprise with the whole international panel.

Somehow, I'm thinking the same thing. Lisandro and Max will likely split the teen/tween girl vote, and I'm not sure where Louka fits into this jumble. Of the 8 songs in the final, Madame Monsieur and Emmy Liyana are my two favorites

Re: FRANCE 2018

Terrible qualifiers and I'm super annoyed by how low "Same" ended up.

My top:
1. Emmy Liyana
2. Madame Monsieur
3. Malo'
4. Lisandro Cuxi
5. Louka
6. Nassi
7. Max Cinnamon
8. Igit

Is the Grand Final televote only?

I truly believe Emmy might win the televotes do to the voting split between the tween boys. But yeah, you're right, the international jury will definitely make a difference. I see them go mainly for Lisandro, Emmy and Madame Monsieur

 

[JonnyWest]

Re: FRANCE 2018

Lisandro, Emmy Liyanna or Madame Monsieur are the big favorites. I would be surprised with any other act winning
But I have a very strong feeling it will be Lisandro

50% televoting with 50% international jury.
The international jury panel is much bigger than the one in the semi-finals.

Re: FRANCE 2018

I hope Max Cinnamon gets sent to Eurovision as punishment for not letting June The Girl advance


I'm disappointed, although actually I was expecting it as I accidentally read a spoiler on youtube this week. I guess I was just watching with the hope that it was incorrect information shared. Oh well.

Re: FRANCE 2018

Well...
I was on the phone, so I didn't follow it carefully, but I think I missed something with Max Cinnamon who is completely transparent with a nothing-song...
My favorite was Sweem... Adieu...

- Madame Monsieur was good, but I'm not convinced... I don't believe it's a good option...
- Igit is a very good performer, but I fear that the song is way too French.
- Nassi is a good songwriter but an annoying singer... He should have given his song to someone else.
- Sweem should have qualified instead of Flopamon
- Jane Constance was very disappointed but she had one of the weakest songs
- Sarah Caillibot has taken a time machine from 1986... I can't see the point of her song...
- I'm sad for Lucie who didn't deserve a zero...
- It's a big Ouch for June... :S

10 members to be exact, including a one! Can't wait for him to have the worst taste.

Re: FRANCE 2018

^ The grand final is 50% international jury, 50% televote. The jury is made up of the HoDs from Armenia, Belarus, Bulgaria, Finland, Iceland, Israel, Italy, Russia, Sweden and Switzerland

Re: FRANCE 2018

June The Girl wasn't that convincing live tbh. I know Nassi and Louka got through but you know what I mean.

Personally, I'm not that surprised she failed, but I didn't expect her to do so badly in the end.

Too bad there's not any strong banger like in the Bulgarian pop industry...

Re: FRANCE 2018

The more I listen to "OK ou KO" the more I think it stands out in this final bunch of songs

We've got even better... "O.K. Ou K.O."
