France FRANCE 2019 - Bilal Hassani - Roi

- Start date

I googled it, but found absolutely nothing. No one in France talked about it.
Bilal's announcement will certainly be about the release date of his upcoming album.

Well I was googleing but couldn't find it, thanks nevertheless!
I don't know what to believe either, guess we need more info in if this is true or not. Maybe any french or Israelis that know of this more on this "drama" or even the show itself?

here people https://www.facebook.com/EurovisionCoverage/posts/10156205786066305Can you please give us a link to where you have read this (this should be something everyone should do on the forum, cause people wants to know what sources people use...)? Maybe you have written here about it in the past, but since I had a stomachflu these latest days I am like out of bounds with the ESC-world.
Maybe the news started from Israel and haven't spread yet! Or maybe is just fakenews! We will see!
Meh, wait and see. As [MENTION=16517]Edweis[/MENTION] said, no one in France has covered this matter as of now. And it seems like it only comes from one website (Ynetnews), so unless it gets more coverage in the next hours and days by major media, I'd remain cautious about the truthfulness of this "news".
So the announcement is Bilal will make his first concert in l'Olympia, mytical hall in France, the 21st october.
withdrawing? withdraw then, we don't care

When did KAN start the production of this series? If they had planned it before Bilal won DE it's such a weird coincidence
Fench ambassador in Israel say it's a fake news and we have the reponse of France TV here:

A spokesperson for France Televisions has expressed himself so that there is no "false controversy". "The whole of the French delegation is at work alongside Bilal Hassani, in view of the final scheduled for May in Tel Aviv, we are told.We are in regular contact with the European Union of Radio- Television that exchanges with all the countries participating in Eurovision, including the KAN channel.In the context of these discussions between channels, the project of fiction 12 points - which we learned the existence last week - is mentioned ", he concludes, thereby removing any threat of boycotts.
Drama over....until the next one ?

I posted on this topic 7 month ago. They really should read the ESCunited forum. Let me quote myself on 29th July 2018

Hey guys, haven't been much in this thread lately so don't hate on me :-) But what are the dislikes that Bilal is getting are all about? I like the song but in every ranking thread I read he's in the bottom. What have I missed?
His studio version - at least for me - was in the beginning okay (but not exciting), but his live version was terrible. :? He can't sing at all and I generally disliked his performance. But there are many people who also love this song. So it's between hate and love, I guess!

I agree with the bad live vocals in the NF but people posted here other videos of him singing in TV shows and he actually can sing, so let's hope that with work he'll improve it and his live performance in ESC will be good !His studio version - at least for me - was in the beginning okay (but not exciting), but his live version was terrible. :?

I agree the performance is quite cringeworthy (not that it's bad but it's basically a Molitva rip-off) but he doesn't sing THAT bad imho. Not that good either, but the song is good. I like it. So we will see how he's doing.
