My baby came to give lessons tonight! Sure, his performance was different for this kind of song, but I find that even more impressive. It felt personal! Those vocals blown everyone away! Switzerland who? Slay, Slimane, I’m so proud!

 

[Miloutchi]

All my love this year goes to Slimane!

 

[Chorizo]

His vocals are amazing. He will surely do very well with the juries. I think they should improve the camera angles. When the camera turns around, it takes too much time during which nothing is happening.

 

[GermanBango]

I am conflicted. The vocals were strong as expected but the song is really doing nothing for me and the performance has really cringe worthy moments. I would like to sit on his face though #sorrynotsorry

 

[Storm]

This song has been my biggest grower of the year, I find it super appealing by now. Also, just like Voilá this has a pretty exciting, attention grabbing final minute, with the mic gimmick but also with the wonderfully expressive vocals. The first two minutes, I don't know, I agree with GermanBango, waaaay too much cringey camera flirting. The song is already cheesy enough, please don't touch the lens with your index finger

 

[Paco Roca]

It's a ballad with too much pathos and little feeling. The song is basic and full of clichés. A great voice is not enough to make a masterpiece a nursery rhyme.

I consider "Mon Amour" to be at the same compositional level as "Hollow"

Yep - that sequence was meandering and seemed to kill the flow stone dead. I also… didn’t like Slimane’s creepy perma smile and pulling the camera up to face him gave me major SK vibes.

 

[Fluke]

His semi-transparent outfit looked tacky to me. The staging lacked a little polish, it just looked like a generic white stripe of light rather than luxurious and special, which it should have been. I see this getting a lot of votes still though, top 5 is possible.

 

[Judas]

I don't like his song but I respect his talent as a singer. He nailed it.

You also want to sit on his face? I was first so wait in line please.

I can't stand listening to the song by itself, but surely this performance should be the jury winner. Extremely charismatic, flawless vocals.

 

[Chorizo]

@GermanBango doesn't like the song, but he's horny after watching the performance.

Ok, you wanna get ****** by Slimane?? What do you dream at night??

 

[Sammy]

I think the idea of the staging is quite nice: It puts the viewer in the very position of Slimanes lover as he interacts with the camera. The beginning - remembering a scene where they wake up looking into their eyes, him making a gentle gesture to touch her face… really sweet. But it also leeds to some strange camera-angles and I‘m not sure everyone appreciates that aesthetic.
For me it worked very well.

 

[PeterLPZ]

The performance is too much, I´m so sorry about that, because the song is so wonderful. No longer in my favorite list.

@GermanBango just reminded us that Eurovision can be enjoyed in different ways.
