France FRANCE 2021 - Barbara Pravi - Voilà

[escYOUnited]

Écoutez moi
Moi la chanteuse à demi
Parlez de moi
À vos amours, à vos amis
Parler leur de cette fille aux yeux noirs et de son rêve fou
Moi c'que j'veux c'est écrire des histoires qui arrivent jusqu'à vous
C'est tout

Voilà, voilà, voilà, voilà qui je suis
Me voilà même si mise à nue j'ai peur, oui
Me voilà dans le bruit et dans le silence

Regardez moi, ou du moins ce qu'il en reste
Regardez moi, avant que je me déteste
Quoi vous dire, que les lèvres d'une autre ne vous diront pas
C'est peu de chose mais moi tout ce que j'ai je le dépose là, voilà

Voilà, voilà, voilà, voilà qui je suis
Me voilà même si mise à nue c'est fini
C'est ma gueule c'est mon cri, me voilà tant pis
Voilà, voilà, voilà, voilà juste ici
Moi mon rêve mon envie, comme j'en crève comme j'en ris
Me voilà dans le bruit et dans le silence

Ne partez pas, j'vous en supplie restez longtemps
Ça m'sauvera peut-être pas, non
Mais faire sans vous j'sais pas comment
Aimez moi comme on aime un ami qui s'en va pour toujours
J'veux qu'on m'aime parce que moi je sais pas bien aimer mes contours

Voilà, voilà, voilà, voilà qui je suis
Me voilà même si mise à nue c'est fini
Me voilà dans le bruit et dans la fureur aussi
Regardez moi enfin et mes yeux et mes mains
Tout c'que j'ai est ici, c'est ma gueule c'est mon cri
Me voilà, me voilà, me voilà
Voilà, voilà, voilà, voilà
Voilà​

Shameless plug to my team's review of French nf

 

[Loindici]

With the news that French Polynesia possibly able to vote... I can see a potential disaster, although I'm not sure about the impact.

 

[Romeo]

Terence James has informed me that there will be a voting line for non-French residents. I've been speaking with him a lot recently. His song is amazing and I'll be voting for him! I even made a video of me dancing to his song haha

At some parts it sounds so Maltese to me..

Can we see that video? :mgreen:

I think we will see a lot of votes coming in from Tahiti and Corsica.

 

[crashworld]

This is getting interesting with an international public voting line and overseas French territories being able to vote.

 

[JSSArcos]

My top 12 before the show, with very friendly scores

3 songs with great potential in me, I hope one of them wins

 

[John1]

I have a feeling that Barbara won't win it tonight. I might be wrong though, and I hope I am.

 

[Mainshow]

I think I will watch the Lithuanian semi final instead of the French final... I think this speaks volume about how I enjoy listening to the selected songs.

Barbara needs to win - pls, but I have the same (bad) feeling about her not making it

 

[Mainshow]

"Allelujah" was cute as a short clip when I heard it for the very first time but the more often I listen to parts of it, the more annoying it becomes. In my opinion, it's just a very lazily-composed and repetitive track.
I totally love the idea and concept behind it but it sounds like a very half-baked idea to me.

 

[EscGeek]

I'm only supporting Lmk & Philippine. But they might cancel each other out.

Everybody else will start at the bottom of my list.

 

[Loindici]

I have a feeling that Barbara won't win it tonight. I might be wrong though, and I hope I am.

And let's see her being beaten by Amui. That would be amusing.

EDIT: ... or Casanova.

 

[AliceEsc]

I really hope Barbara wins it. It would be an instant 12 for me.

 

[Sammy]

I have a feeling that Barbara won't win it tonight. I might be wrong though, and I hope I am.

That would be the third time in a row in a french NF that they exchange a potential Top 5 entry for one that struggles to make it to the left side of the panel...

 

[rasmuslights]

And let's see her being beaten by Amui. That would be amusing.

if this happens.. i pray it won't.. i also doubt it would impress the juries.

Here are some IG previews of the staging:

Les répétitions d’Eurovision France, c’est vous qui décidez battent leur plein dans le studio réservé par France Télévisions. Le diffuseur en a posté les premières images sur Twitter et…

Actually, seems like they will get a pretty decent/elaborated staging. I can't wait.
But it's going to be 4am at my time.

 

[Looren]

Go Barbara and Juliette !

Strangely, I have the same bad feeling about Barbara not winning. If she doesn't, my second choice would be Juliette, but I doubt she'll has a chance. Please France, choose wisely!!!

What would have been these top 5 songs according to you?

My favourites are LMK but honestly she will never win and Céphaz because I like the song and it's the kind of song you can listen a lot to in France. Voilà let me cold, it's not something I would listen to, and in the same way I find On a mangé le soleil taylored for French audience, I think that Pravi's song is mainly aimed to non-French people liking that idea of Edith Piaf French music. Let's be clear : I don't say it's a bad song, if she wins I wouldn't be really sad but I wouldn't root si strong for France.
