Truthfully shocked about the televote points but also happy for the French fans

 

[allenakaalan]

I've always been a believer and am glad that I got vindicated!

 

[Kairit]

Uhhhh, well I'm a bit surprised by the large televote. But congrats to the French!

 

[soulm8]

Nothing surprising if you followed the social media reactions! It is Slaymane!

 

[ESC94]

His performance in the final was even better in my opinion.

I've always been a believer and am glad that I got vindicated!

Yeah me too! I thought this would do well with both sides, the Marco Mengoni of the season with the same placement in the end.

 

[ESC94]

He got points in the TV from ALL countries, including a from .

So so happy for Slimane today. Top 5 is amazing. 2nd in jury and 4th in televote that is just amazing.
All the haters here who kept criticizing him and were so sure he will flop... well he didn't.

This performance kicked so much ass. He really left his best for the final. I was predicting the Marco Mengoni route and it even surpassed it in terms of points. Would've been a much more worthy winner than Switzerland and there was no reason for that appalling lopsided gap with the juries. Congrats to France, a very solid decade in quality entries so far.

I’m actually surprised all my family and friends called this the winner. I’m usually a sucker for romantic emotional songs, but to see the appeal reaching so many people is really nice! He truly is an artist and by far my favorite artist since Duncan. The shame is with the jurors who totally supported Switzerland in order to stop one other country it seems. He is a jury winner in my eyes and top 2/3 with the public, taking the political voting away!

Great result for France. I had this 3rd on the night. Thought it would have done better from the Jury vote but from what I have saw his performance was not as strong as last night. One of my favourites this year.

 

[soulm8]

It’s a shame to read salty comments from French people everywhere, Slimane is much more than what his score is. And in all fairness despite all the political voting from both sides 450 points is not something to cry about.

Great result for Mon Amour, it has been one of my favourites early on but faded a little over time, but I'm really glad it ended up in the top 5. Pleasantly surprised by the 4th place in the televoting.

A French win will come soon, I feel it coming

 

[shameless]

I am so happy, better than I would've expected a week ago and so close to the podium!
I think if his voice wouldn't have cracked during the jury show he would've definitely fared better with the jury. I was suprised by some countries ignoring him (like Portugal?) but I won't complain. The televote score doesn't surprise me. It really sticked out at that part of the show from the rest and I see a lot of more sentimental people falling in love with that performance because of that.

May that encourage more high-profile frenchies to participate. As always, I am very nervous with them how it could go (because it could've also gone wrong like last year) but another top 5 finish is great.

I always had the feeling that Slimane would do much better in televoting than many here were expecting. It was a loud year with very few ballads, but the "ballad fraction" among the viewers didn´t dissapear and was looking for the strongest package and absolutely had the strongest one. The late starting position also helped a lot and vocally he was even better in the final than on Thursday.

YES TOP 5 YES YES YES YES I'M SO GODDAMN HAPPY

I did vote couple of times for him as part of the world. I couldn’t stop myself for this masterpiece. And you talk about this been a ballad lovers vote, but actually this is not the reason why people voted. His presence, his aura and voice made it so pure and personal. The part towards the end always gives me goosebumps and not every ballad does that. The fact many people didn’t get a word except Mon amour and Paris and still voted… says it all.

Don´t get me wrong, I think he touched many peoples heart with the performance but I still think that being being in a year with few ballads helped.
