FRANCE 2011 - Amaury Vassili - Sognu

I was very disappointed by his performance, and after such bad and soulless singing, the result is not surprising at all. Even though he was one of my top favorites, I was actually not surprised at all with his failure. This song needs to be delivered with passion to reach the culmination and for the viewers to get the "wow" effect, but it all looked like he had to finish with singing to go to pee as soon as possible. It's a shame because France has shown that they take Eurovision very seriously in the last couple of years and they surely deserved a better result 
But I think it was Amaury's fault. And if he really had technical difficulties, then....that's bad.

Very good rechearsal! I don't understand why juries didn't vote well for this. Bad taste.
Well if i understand the televote because the fact he didin't ear his singing while he was performing made his songs a little flat on tv, i really don't get how he could only received a few more points from the juries, i was so sure he was going to be at least top 5/8 with them!
I imagine it was never going to go his way, good performance or not

Best composition does not equal "best song". I was (and still am) a big fan of this song but fact is Amaury did not perform to our or the juries expectations from a vocal performance perspective. It was off so I was not surprised about the result.
This was my favourite song in the whole contest because it was so stunning and, usually, Amaury performed it beautifully. I think he got screwed by the juries - who frankly need their heads examined because the jury performance was lovely - but he did fall short on the night, and it was unfortunate. Then again I thought it was very brave of France to send in something so different from the other entries. I think there was a lot going against it and the high expectations probably got to Amaury on the night.
I'm not that surprised it only came 15th (although given the competition 82 points isn't very bad) but I still don't think it deserved such a low score with the juries.

Best composition means best song, it's very logic to me
His jury performance was great, and there wasn't a reason not to put him in top 5 at least

I didn't know that so many people could participate in the juries final :?
This year, tickets were sold for it (of course for much lower prizes, that for the final). They said, it was sold out, but afaik, it wasn´t (I asked for tickets about 10 minutes before it started, but 30€ were imo too much for it).

I think it was much better than his perfomance in the final but still his voice sounds weird :? i don't know, maybe i expected him to sound perfect like the studio version lol.
In the final, he looked like a mess (his hair omg..) and he was sweating and so nervous! Sognu was my #1 song but i didn't vote for France (first time in years) because of that messy perfomance. After the perfomance, he was slowing down on bets and we knew he would fail to do well.
i really wanted to see France doing well this year.

Great song , great voice, but Amary was a little nervous, he said it in an interview days later.
