France FRANCE 2016 - Amir - J'ai cherché

[esc87fan]

I found this earlier today, he actually sings in Greek pretty well!

I also watched a video of him performing at the WiwiJam, a party hosted by Wiwibloggs. I'm starting to think they should eliminate the falsetto parts at the end of the song altogether and just sing the final chorus repeats naturally like he did at the pre-parties

I'm more disturbed by the female back vocals than by Amir's performance itself :/

 

[Evalngelion]

It will probably flop and end up 8th or something, but that's still a success being France

And who you think will rank higher than him? Russia? Denmark?

I mean, Eurovision has the status of beng a bad tasting circus for chosing trashy performances instead of high quality music.

 

[esc87fan]

Another nice video to check out

I think he's going to do really well with the televoters. As for the juries, I believe it's possible he can win them over too

 

[Rayman]

Well, 11 is a good spot, especially between two songs that are not considered as favourites. Go Amir, a top 5 is completely reachable !

I think that France will do very well tomorrow. I still believe you stand a good chance of taking the trophy home. In my humble opinion, tomorrow, it will nerve wrecking evening cuz there are so many potential winners. It is totally open and obviously no-one has clue who might win for sure. Okey, Russia is a bit above the rest for the time being (at least, it looks this way), but I am not totally convinced of Sergey's victory. I am really looking forward to tomorrow's voting

Amir dress rehearsal for the jury final tonight:

 

[Ritararita]

The ending is different, isn´t it?

 

[Leydan]

The ending is different, isn´t it?

Yes, hes not hitting those high notes as much anymore. It's a big improvement.

 

[Quent91]

11th is a good spot, but with Russia, Armenia, Austria performing in the 2nd half and with spots right near the end, it will be really difficult.

 

[GermanBango]

WOW he sound pretty good though - What an improvement !

 

[aef]

AMIR PLEASE JUST WIN TOMORROW! (Just started watching the jury show when he started singing )

EDIT: It sounded really promising!

 

[Quent91]

wow, already more than 6M views on YT

 

[popavapeur]

I didn't watch/hear the jury show, how was it ?

 

[MyHeartIsYours]

At one time I was hyped about this song, but having heard more of it, and the semi final performance, I think it has been overrated. Amir will give a great performance, there is no doubt about that, but I fear there may be a Patricia Kaas-style result. However, I wish the best of luck to France

Final Verdict

7 points
Position I want: 16th
Position I think: 14th​

Tonight his performance was very good ! I was in thegloben and everybody applaused. I hope we are going to reach top 10.

 

[esc87fan]

Guess what, I got my copy of Amir's CD from Amazon France yesterday! I absolutely LOVED it - my favorite tracks aside from "J'ai cherché" of course were "Au coeur de moi", "Ma vie, ma ville, mon monde" and "Oasis"

 

[Evalngelion]

It seems he will win

Hope so, great improvement on the jury rehearsal, he was almost perfect, totally nailed it.

He just reached 6 million views in just 3 days, he's also charting in 12 countries and he hasn't even performed live 3 minutes...

According to a class of year 9 students with Autism, who I taught yesterday, this is the winning song. Not sure how much of an indication that is, but still!

Most people love this song.

Inside eurovision ut may not win, or it may actually.
Remember that Eurovision is a bad tasting circus you need a circus to figure out among the eurofans.
