I like this song its cool upbeat tempo and the mix of both french and english sounds cool and you can sing along to part of the song if your not good with French. But after listening to it a few times its an easy song to sing and toe tap to.Leading up to the final it was a two horse race was between France & Russia, but instead of horses they became the tare and lost the race. A good stage performance, song 4 points stage 3 points placing France 4th in my top ten of the final
Honestly, one of the best songs from France in 40 years. Perhaps the performance was a bit underwhelming and his voice not on point, but i can forgive. Commercially, it is doing very well and I still hear it on Swedish radio (the full English version). I do recall Amir contrasting himself from Russia in a pre-performance interview, in terms of stage performance and special effects. But I think Amir should have gone for it. This could have won!
I agree with Scott, again. This was a great entry from France and probably the best for years, although I did like 2015. But this was the sort of song we come to Eurovision for and it’s not always France that comes to the party in this regard so it was a nice change.
