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​

That intro was kinda crazy XD

That intro was kinda crazy XD

Psychedelic,a bit like San Remo!

Let's see what France has to offer. I am already tired of switching between Lithuania and Norway and now France. Happy that Norway is over.

 

[BorisBubbles]

The female host is the same one who hosts the French Weakest Link, isn't she? You can tell by the energy.

 

[mauve]

Live the song doesn't convince me so much.

 

[HayashiM]

Andriamad are a little underwhelming live...? I dig the colourful staging, but I find the studio version so much stronger :/

 

[Arion]

Alleluia is cute, but kinda nothing special.

[Matt]

I panicked cause I saw the big 2 in the corner thinking I missed the first song....silly me.

 

[ESCREGION]

although the song was funcy and i liked it, it was not such a strong live performance!!

Alleluia is cute, but kinda nothing special.

They look nervous and pretty under-whelming. Not sure if it's because of the sound system, but they sound pretty weak 'live'.
The staging is really good, routine is effective.

I am really happy France went all out for this NF, giving proper staging.

 

[Sammy]

I‘m surprised by the vocals, especially in the beginning they were quite shaky...

 

[Edweis]

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.

I 100% agree with you. When Barbara will undoubtedly win I'll make a longer post about why it's not a song I want as our representative while it's a totally competent one, but for now you nailed the analysis.

Blonde lady wearing shades on the judging panel is a mood. That's my look when i'm reincarnated.

 

[AliceEsc]

I liked the studio version. Something sounded off live, especially the girl.

 

[Mrm]

Vocals could be a bit better for my Andriamad!

Maybe after all lives I will have a different fave, we will see..

 

[HayashiM]

Juliette 100% on point since the first note. In her genre, she's great.

 

[NemesisNick]

Song 1: Andriamad "Alléluia"
A catchy song, and good stage graphics, but I think the singers' voices weren't strong enough. They seemed stronger on the preview video.

I'm really loving these stage LEDs they look spectacular.
