France FRANCE 2023 - La Zarra - Évidemment

[ESC United Mod Team]

It´s a well-executed and well-produced finished product.

I can totally understand why some people prefer "more dramatic and climatic" choruses (especially in the hardcore fanbase) but I think it´s a perfect crossover and like @Flamenkax said, it´s a song which is perfectly balanced: Yoú´ve got the impressive intro, the massive built-up, the divine middle-8 part and a very surprising and melodic chorus (with a pulsing beat).

I haven´t seen her "live performance" yet but it´s the third time that I got some sort of "winning vibes": (based on the music video before the live performance), "Air" in (impressive staging and I think it could slay the televoting in May) and this.. .which could bring juries and televoters on board.

I think it could be punchier in parts but that can just be addressed in the live performance rather than doing anything to the studio track imo

I might be pregnant

Is your due date in May, if I may ask?

[MopManMoss]

Having been in a Liverpool hospital I wouldn't recommend giving birth there, La Zarra's musical child deserves better

It is

 

[Sammy]

An absolute eargasm!!!!

 

[marty]

I am a bit disappointed. I give 5 points.

 

[ollibox]

It is

WOW! Congrats! And @Ezio, for you the same?

 

[Sammy]

They should go back to French elegance.

Your wish was their command.

 

[MAD20]

Okay this is really good, France did an excellent job once more, from me!

 

[ollibox]

Oh well... Let's be honest... Most of us will give birth on 13th of May
At least with @randajad and with @Ezio we'll get twins

 

[Schlagerman1]

Oh, I like this! It is a bit Kylie Minogue meets French Chanson. Makes me wanna dance. May not be a Eurovision winner, but this is a good french entry that will fight for a top 10 placement for me personally. Trés Bien!

 

[Rocket man]

It's nice, I realised towards the end that La Zarra still had my attention even though nothing really happens in the music video so that's something. The production of the song is basic though.

 

[Decayingbooks]

Gave it a , not bad, not good either... The song is a weird mix of disco and french chaison and I don't think it clicks together, it may live but on the video it doesn't.
I'm honestly really disapointed in France this year, their nf is one of those that I love the most to follow and I honestly doubt that this song would have won if they didn't decided to select it internally.

I was expecting something more Edith Piaff-esque. A "5". (I was trying to put the 5 on the coloured square but obviously i did not succeed.

 

[ArmpitOfEurope]

It's pleasant, but not a good choice for Eurovision, it doesnt have anything special. Its just a nice track she could have on one of her albums.

 

[PlasticToad]

This is fine, I can see why others would love it or be disappointed. For me it's in the middle - I like the sound and the dramatic vibes, but I find it really disjointed and it puts me off the song a bit. I do expect La Zarra to be amazing live though, and she's got plenty of charisma to carry the song above the I'm currently giving it.

 

[jatojo]

This is the kind of song that will be hyped like Australia's last year. But really, it's an uninteresting composition. It will be popular with the juries though, no doubt about it.
