France FRANCE 2018 - Madame Monsieur - Mercy

- Watchers 20
I just want to say with less than 24 hours before a new winner is crowned that I have never felt this strongly about a Eurovision entry until I heard the initial snippet of "Mercy" during the French selection process. Right then and there, I knew it was something special and could potentially win the whole thing if it won DE
Hearing about all the positive feedback from the press and the fans, and seeing the crowd response during the preview clip at the second semifinal and the Twitter clip in the arena a few hours ago really makes me believe it can go all the way tomorrow, it will be a special moment to see the entire audience doing that hand motion at the end of the song. Press polls, fan polls and bookies' odds only say so much, but if France can get a top 5 with the juries and then really smash it in the televote they can certainly do it.
Regardless of the outcome, "Mercy" will always be my winner this year and I can't wait to see what will be in store for Madame Monsieur after the contest

Did I really just give a "Like" to someone who loves the Hungarian entry?
Of course I respect your opinions.

Maybe you will give a like to the Hungarian entry as well!

I am currently listening to Madame Monsieur's album "Vu d'ici" on Spotify, and it's remarkably good. "Mercy" seems to be not only a "one hit wonder".

big flop lol but that's how europeans (and Australia) voted so I stand by it !
I hope that they won't hold a NF again. Just stick to internal selection like 
. I'm so proud of MM and our representatives, but Edoardo needs to do something in order to bring us back to the top of the scoreboard.
THAT'S IT. I'm disappointed and I think that 2018 will remain one of the worst ESC winners ever. I ain't hating on , but let's face it: the entry wasn't as good as a lot of previous winners. Nothing great, nothing new. Even deserved to win in 2011.

Even deserved to win in 2011.Sorry for these double posts. I only need to point out that you were all right: biggest flaw is the staging. I didn't want to become aware of it, but I did when I watched the performance of MM, which was suprisingly bland and weak.
Thanks.

And this is why you wont ever fully succeed when your HoD is deluded in thinking staging means nothing. AGAIN it's what let you down. France could have done so so much more with this but it just didn't work. Italy monopolised that effect much better.
OMG I've just realised MM is one place lower than Alma
Well, I never saw the broad appeal of "Mercy" but started believing in the hype surrounding us and thought we would do better with voters. Nevermind, that remains a respectable result, even though it might be disappointing for a favourite.
I hope Destination Eurovision will stay and we'll have stronger entries next year. I wonder how "OK ou KO" would have fared.

I wonder how "OK ou KO" would have fared.He'll hopefully stop being such obsessed with these simple stagings, which """"are doing so well at the ESC""""".
