Got really disappointed by the lack of class!
France had always found a way to the good taste of average european, this year's entry was totally cheap though!

It was the result I was expecting at best honestly (I thought he'd be around the 15th place)
Alma = 12th; Madame Monsieur = 13th; Bilal = 14th
We had the answer right in front of us all this time, see you in 2020 for the 15th place.
Seriously though, I think Bilal can be proud of his performance, there was nothing to be ashamed of and we had a rather solid staging overall (even though there were unnecessary elements). The thing is the song wasn't attention-grabbing (to say the least), the running order turned out to be not ideal (since Chingiz and Mahmood did super well) and the message alone wouldn't have carried us higher on the scoreboard anyway.
Never was a fan of the song, but I applaud Bilal for being so involved in his performance. It was refreshing to have a representative who knew Eurovision and wanted to put on a show. With another composition, I might have rooted for him tbh.
Apparently, there will be a third edition of Destination Eurovision, so I hope we'll send a package with good potential to build on our last results.
I look forward to our future stagings with Steven Clerima, he knows what he's doing.

I agree with all you post..except the first sentance, as i really believed that we will have a top 10 ranking, around 8th....but we can not say 14th is that bad.
Happy if Destination Eurovison come back next year, it's a good program and as you say Steven Clerima seem to know what he is doing.

Yeah I realized this would bomb as soon as Soldi finished; Mahmood provides a much more authentic, organic emotional pull than Bilal did. Oh well, still enjoyed him tho. :shrug:

Oh God no... where did you see that?
Oh God no
You crack me up!I think I've read that on a french Twitter account that followed DE and Bilal's journey with exclusive pictures, access to the NF and whatnot. I don't remember if our broadcaster confirmed it, so please take it with a pinch of salt until I find the source again. I'll look for it tomorrow.

While France won me over tonight after ignoring their entry since it was chosen, I can see many voters at home seeing Bilal amd the staging "trying too hard".
It was very touching performance indeed, but for many people it could also come across as OTT.

I don't know what happened. Sometimes, there are no words to describe what happened. We have guy who lost both televote and jurry and still won. Bilal is my winner no matter what and I am not sorry that I voted several times for him. Its first time I voted for someone after more than 10 years. He should be proud of himself. He shares left side of scoreboard with Slovenia. I guess bilal, Norway and miki were robbed.
A top 15 is what I hoped for him. Bilal can be proud of himself, he had fun and performed to his most abilities. The song was just not that good.
I'm alright with another national selection. I don't necessarily agree with the televote but at least we have a say in the choice.
In general, the entries we send to Destination Eurovision lack... something. It's not in the authenticity, as they're very French (just take a look at Silvàn Areg) but we need more flare. For the past two years, there have been entries that I liked, but none that I loved. When we search a little, we have a great pool of artists, with many different genres, definitely one of them could deliver us with a great performance.
Now the question is : are they made for Eurovision ?

I pray France wins in 2023... would be good fun to have both Eurovision and the Olympics in the same country in the space of 3 months.

No please, we don't have enough money
