Re: FRANCE 2016
Reaction to ChartsTopWorld's video:
-Nolwenn Leroy: would be a great choice but she won't do it, I think. She's too popular to even care about it.
-M Pokora: Talentless.
-Jenifer: I doubt she would be interested. And she has no distinctive universe musically, so that would mean a russian roulette like in 2012.
-Calogero: Very unlikely. I don't like his style and I doubt he could come up with a song people abroad would care about.
-Indila: Even if she's a big marketing product, yes! Ten times yes! She's successful in France and abroad and her songs could appeal to a wide audience while not falling into blandness. Distinctive voice, we could achieve something with her.
-Fréro Delavega: who?
-Marina Kaye: no opinion
-Christine & The Queens: big "meh". I don't like her work. Maybe the whole pseudo-artsy package could fare well though.
-Shy'm: vocally, she's not that great. Firstly, I think she said in an interview she wouldn't do it because it's too much pressure. Secondly, she would probably come up with a hit that would be hyped to death but we would end up with a big failure because of the performance.
-Louane: Didn't we try to send people like her before?
She's too big-headed to consider it anyway.
-Kendji: would appeal to tons of people, pretty guy singing in Spanish/French on a Spanish-flavored melody. Good vocals live. It's not quality music but who care?
I fail to see what will be Nathalie André's plan for next year
I'm convinced there are lots of unknown talented people out there, however these people mostly sing in English nowadays. I don't think it'd work.
