FRANCE 2012 - Anggun - Echo (You and I)

[Yamarus]

I think it's pretty great! As others have said, it's the quirkiness that makes it so special. It's certainly not conventional.

I prefer up-tempo songs for the ESC, and I'm sure this'll do great on the scene in Baku. I won't make predictions about the scoreboard result, because my predictions are almost always wrong LOL!

 

[Margerita86]

Hmm, I just listened to the song.
I normaly like the french entries but this one I honestly don't know what to think at first listen.
It's sort of ok, but sort of not really. I'll give points when I've listened to it some more and can make up my mind about it.

 

[Gerly]

I quite like this song at the moment.

 

[Luki]

AMAZING!!! LOVE IT!

 

[apasionata]

AMAZING!!! LOVE IT!

+ 1! IT'S AMAZING!

Hi,

For me the lyrics (I'm French) are :

You and I
You and I
Oo, oo

J'entends l'écho de nos pas, tous en cadence
Marche au pas, jamais dans le même sens
On avance mais on court après quoi

J'entends l'écho de nos rêves, de nos envies
Au-delà du jour, jusqu'à la nuit
On s'entraîne et on court après quoi

On se perd, on s'espère
Quelque part on s'égare
Un jour, au-delà, on se retrouvera

In my dreams, in my dreams
In my heart, in my mind
I see you and I
Always you and I

J'entends l'écho de nos pas qui se balancent
Ca et là, toujours sur la même danse
On avance mais on court après quoi

On se perd, on s'espère
Quelque part on s'égare
Un jour, au-delà, on se retrouvera

In my dreams, in my dreams
In my heart, in my mind
I see you and I
Always you and I

Always you and I (2x)

J'entends l'écho de ta voix s'éloigner de moi
L'écho d'amour un jour reviendra
Il m'entaîne et je cours après toi

On se perd, on s'espère
Quelque part on s'égare
Un jour, au-delà, on se retrouvera

In my dreams, in my dreams
In my heart, in my mind
I see you and I
Always you and I

 

[Gerly]

why that English part is needed?

 

[QwaarJet]

How the hell do we go from Sognu to this crap? If it wasn't for Cyprus I would say this is the worst so far.

 

[Steffan]

I like the beginning but idk about the rest... it's kinda nice... but idk... have to listen to it more

 

[Hegepege]

Poor France. It's just the language that makes this different from all the other euro-dance-trash. I can't tell one singer with long black hair from another soon unless their songs starts to get a bit original. I don't see myself voting for this one at all, but rather France than Cyprus, so 3 points from me.

 

[une]

It's not a patch on Sognu.......

 

[CypriotGirl]

Not bad as a song. Anggun could do 1000000000 times better, though. The English part is very bad! And the intro is like not fitting the rest of the song! What a disappointment... It's like a bad remix of a song!

 

[vampire67]

Pretty disapointing considdering Anguns class.
And was it not announced that france hired top songwriters ?
I expected somthing outstanding from that combination.
Sorry but this is ok, but by no standard outstanding.
Considdering an Angun bonus it might reach top 10, but I don't expect it to enter top 5.

I personally still think the danish entry easily outclasses this.

 

[Margerita86]

Alright I made up my mind and I think this song is ok.
I won't vote for it and thus I give it 2 points.

 

[stevan989]

Nothing special, but ok!

 

[Starmania]

Not bad, i'll give same point like i gave to Ivi, 5 points.

 

[r3gg13]

I quite like it, it's in the 7 to 12 range for me.

I dunno if other people see it this way as well, I could imagine her performing in all white with a cane.

 

[CC92]

Quirky? It hardly could be more generic.

 

[Sim]

Not bad, only the beginning is really strange

 

[Grinch]

So much better than I expected ( after the snippet, I expected nothing ). I quite like it, intro is nice, also I love the whistle during the song. The thing is, it gets kinda boring after first 1 min.

6, after the first listening.
