I gave the song a second try today and I still don't like it but I have to admit that it was staying in my head the whole day...
Especially the chorus still feels very flat. This could have been so much more. And I'm also not feeling the chanson-disco-mix yet.

After listening to it for a while I have to unfortunately change my vote from 12 to 
points. Don't get me wrong, it's a good song. But I agree that the way she delivers it vocally is a bit weak. She lacks energy. I think it's a song that works better live than as an audio track and I'm sure she is gonna slay. France is still in my Top 10. I think the juries are going to like this.

I mean, it’s very French, but I far, far prefer last year’s energetic entry from Brittany. Why it bombed so badly in the final is beyond me. I thought they were fantastic and a really fresh entry from France. Definitely in my top 10.
This year seems a tad generic by comparison. But what do I know? I just like more unconventional and challenging music in general. The majority of viewers and voters don’t.

This song is the most original, extravagant and polished of all the songs out there for this year.

I am actually surprised that I like it. Modern yet still retains the French identity. Giving this a with the potential to grow. I am thinking this is actually better than what France has offered for the past 3 years.

Well the super-tight corset kind of accentuates it…
She looks kinda like a RuPaul contestant even. That fancy hat is something that would fit there. And La Zarra is curvy.

Amazing song for me, yes, there are a little something missing, but i'm sure La Zarra 's voice and charisma will make the song even better in live...
A win seem clearly impossible, the overrated swandwiched swedish girl will get it, but a top 10 will be nice after last year.

Yup i think this is where she should end. When i listened to the song i thought "we can do this" and i expect a great live performance but i'm starting to be realistic and yeah, compared to possibly Loreen, Käärijä or even others, i can see ourselves finishing at ~7-10th place (with a big push from the juries), which would be quite okay after last year...
...but this would be considered a flop for FTV. And i would be really curious to know how they'll respond to this.

Going back to the Top 10 after only 1 bad result last year would be extremely good for us. It would be almost the first time in 20 years we manage to do 2 tops 10 in 3 years, and the bad result we had in this period is by taking a risk, so nothing to be ashamed of. I was proud we tried something different.
Tbh, i've had extremely high expectations seeing the hype they created with La Zarra so i was disappointed when the song was released because it's a good song for a Top 10 (and maybe the potential to end 6th like Amir) but not a winner. It took me a while to digest it but now I accept it. They've put all their hope on her but like you, i can't see us beat Loreen, Käärijä or Alessandra at the moment. Their songs have stronger chorus or an element that would standout even more than Evidemment. They're the most unreachable imo. After them, its quite open with the songs we got so far in my view.
Few people have talked about it but I have this little concern that they've decide to do an "all-in" on La Zarra and that if it doesn't work, they will lose the motivation for Eurovision a little. I'm sill not sure of that since they showed already their motivation to do well.

There's a very strange message sent on La Zarra's Instagram tonight, after she teased yesterday an important announcement. Really dunno what to think about this
