It's an afternoon talk-show/infotainment programme. I have never watched it, so I checked and found out that viewing figures are around 1.5 million viewers, which seems good because I read that the show has been confirmed for another season. It airs on RAI1 which is also the channel airing the ESC final, maybe a bit of their viewers will be watching Slimane on both occasions.Slimane will be a guest in italian TV show "La Volta Buona" on RAI1 on thursday. He will get interviewed and he will maybe perform his song too. I don't know if this is a good and popular show or not but in the end it doesn't matter if viewing figures are low. It's still a good promo.
SameThis is in my bottom three despite me liking songs like this and very french sounding things, doesn't make sense
Don't think Rai has given to Slimane a good spot to promote Mon Amour. It's a weekly afternoon show with mostly over 65 years old viewers.Slimane will be a guest in italian TV show "La Volta Buona" on RAI1 on thursday.

What staging can a ballad have and especially that of Slimane? A man on the stage, darkness, a beam of light (perhaps a jacket with glitter from the video that acts as a spotlight), vocal power and space for emotion. End. If we carefully observe the 2023 vs 2024 videos, many nations have always adopted the same choreographic or chromatic recipe. It is from "Voilà", passing through "Fulenn" to reach "Evidemment" and stopping to judge the video of "Mon Amour" that France is presenting some noir shades on stage.This is still my favorite song this year. Can't wait to see the live staging and the modifications Slimane will end up doing
Recently they invited some singers from Sanremo, the elderly viewers must have run away once they saw La SAD with their punk looks.Don't think Rai has given to Slimane a good spot to promote Mon Amour. It's a weekly afternoon show with mostly over 65 years old viewers.
I didn't watch that episode, honestly I don't watch that show at all.Recently they invited some singers from Sanremo, the elderly viewers must have run away once they saw La SAD with their punk looks.
Anyway, Slimane's ballad might fit the taste of more mature viewers so perhaps they enjoyed it. He performed his song and the host had some chit-chat with him, he talked a bit of how he feels in the run-up to ESC. He said he's starting to feel a bit stressed, but proud to represent his country and happy to be given the opportunity to perform his song abroad.
Well, everyone has different tastes. I don't know how Slimane will place, but I think he should at least get support from juries and people who appreciate vocal technique, at least in a world now full of (fake) singers who use autotune and such tricks that standardize every voice. It's also good that Rai decided to invite a Eurovision artist from abroad after many years without having any, we can only hope they will consider promoting them in the upcoming years, I read that the talented Barbara Pravi would even like to compete in Sanremo! There is a lot of work to be done to make ESC popular in Italy, so every bit like Slimane's invitation counts.I didn't watch that episode, honestly I don't watch that show at all.
I don't think Slimane has got some benefit from this Italian campaign.
He is an excellent singer but the song isn't. Even for the italian public which loves beautiful voices singing excellently isn't enough anymore if the song is mediocre.
Look at Il Volo's result this year in Sanremo.
But who knows, maybe I'm totally wrong.
It's fine for me that Rai is doing more to promote esc artists but as I said Slimane and his team hasn't chosen the right show I think. Last year Marco did something similar in Germany but it was totally different, an evening entertaining show where Marco had a perfect shot, singing Due Vite and another song with the host Giovanni Zarrella.Well, everyone has different tastes.

I see what you mean. Maybe the reason is that ESC is still not popular enough for Rai to slot a Eurovision artist into any kind of prime-time show like the ones you mentioned, I don't know.It's fine for me that Rai is doing more to promote esc artists but as I said Slimane and his team hasn't chosen the right show I think.

In Croatia Slimane had a perfect shot and I think he will be awarded by the Croatian public unless he would not become a direct competitor of Baby Lasagna
Why, because you like the song? He's not the only good singer. Or you think it's better as a vocal showcase than some other songs like Veronika? The song isn't fresh at all, so I don't think they would give top points based on music.I'm pretty sure this is winning the jury. I mean who else???
