France FRANCE 2018 - Madame Monsieur - Mercy

will do better than though. That's for sure. Furthermore, I don't get your point about "electro pop". This entry doesn't have anything to do with an electro song or I may have misunderstood the whole thing about the entry sent from my native country.

So what else it is then? It has electro elements and sounds popular so idk how else shall I classify it. :F

Oh and even Wiki says this is electropop soooooooo

I don't think it's much of a melody though, so the pop part isn't great for me.

What will be interesting to see is MM's starting position in the final. Since Björkman tried to sabotage them during Destination Eurovision, I wonder if he'll have the guts to put us 4th or 25th or between two acts higher in the odds.

I guess it'll also depend on which half most of the favourites will go to, it could be 2015 and its uneven halves all over again, which I hope won't happen.

He won't have the guts to do so. Lisa Angell was awful back then. This vas nothing to do with MM.

I wasn't talking about Lisa, but the fact the first half of the final was so crowded Israel and Estonia performed very early on the night.

Same this year for semi-final 1, iirc Belgium was high in the odds before it was revealed Sennek would sing in 4th position.

Uh, yeah of course! But I still don't get why to be honest, as there weren't as many great entries in the first half as we think, right? Björkman didn't have to put or right at the beginning of the grand final.

The only opportunity that we've got to seize is to draw 2nd half this year. Otherwise, I don't think we'll stand any chances to win if we went on to perform 2nd...

I think he'has the guts to do anything especially with smaller countries that can't complain like Albania and Iceland this year in semi-final1

Which ones then? I'm curious to hear about it.

 

[BernadetteCydonia]

I wish I could be arsed to make a video with those elements just for you but that would be a bit pointless so yeah. I will timestamp an electro-to-me element whenever I feel like I'm arsed though

That'd be awesome. I could finally figure out what this entry has to do with electro.

Or before people listened to her live, and most people complained it was far from good.


Definition of electropop:
"a style of popular music characterized by the use of electronically created sounds, with a synthesizer as the primary instrument."
to me [but I am not an expert] sounds more like the entry for rather than ??

Even in Madrid, she didn't sound so good, she done badly all pre-parties, I don't know, maybe it will be ok in Lisbon, I am not judging her still though...

What I meant is that Björkman didn't care about Belgium being 6th or something in the odds at the time he came up with the running order since he gave them the 4th slot.

I didn't mean Belgium fell in the odds because of their starting position.

Actually, when song and performance are good, and top, there is no way that 4th position would stop it from qualifing. That is always like that. Position matters only when it comes to average songs.

I agree, it was an example for the "even top 10 contenders can be given early slots" discussion, hence why I can't wait to know where France will be placed in the final.

Yeah, and I also think it matters more for final and victory especially than just for qualifying from semi to final ( in case the song is good, as we said).

 

[Antho]

The song is on its way to enter the top 5 of the bookmakers.

Mercy is a pop entry. Thx.

Bjorkman tried to "sabotage" MM during the DE final by giving them 2 points (and Lisandro 12) because he saw the duo as a threat to Sweden's own chances - even William from Wiwibloggs thought so during the post-final reaction video the site put out. It would certainly be something if France wins so that little move he tried to pull at the French final backfires

 

[QwaarJet]

I'm very excited that the hype is finally building for this entry. It has my full support to win this year. Shame we'll need to wait until next Friday to the first rehearsal. Literally the last song to perform!

He would never do such a thing.
He was there as a juror, only.
