I'm french and I had no expectation because I don't usually watch Eurovision, but WTF ?? When I first heard the song, it give me shiver, I swear this song... is AMASING. Love her. 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷
Moi aussi, fière de notre représentante cette année ! Une chanson tellement french touch ! C'est l'année de la France à l'Eurovision adultes comme à l'Eurovision Junior ! 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷
I love her accent when she speaks. Fun Fact when Quebecers sing, they take on a very Parisian accent. in the song she said "De vous à moi, de moi à vous, ai-je réussi à chanter, à chanter la Grande France ?" Between you and me, did i manage to sing the Great France ?... It's a answer for all of those people saying that she is not French so she doesn't deserve to represent us.
If a song makes me move and sells me elegance in the simplest way, I'm a fan till the end. This is just a masterpiece of sound, voice and talent. She is so elegant and beautiful but just standing there, and singing in this lovely language! LOVE IT!!! I think France is well prepared for Liverpool, I just hope they can make a big deal with this amazing song and voice. Bonne chance, La France !
this song is not just an ESC entry, it is a musical and visual experience, it Isa masterpiece of a Eurovision song. Traditional classic french chanson in style of Edith Piaf mixed up with emotional 70's Disco reminding of big hits of Dalida, with beautiful, poetic lyrics, performed by a diva looking young singer with a good voice. If this is not a winning entry, then I do not know what a winning entry is. I love it, I listen to it everyday, many times. France, good luck!!
La Zarra my winner Eurovision song contest 2023 and my very like it so beautiful Evidemment song and give you 12 points from Greece to France🏆🏆🏆🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍🥳🥳🥳🎉🎉🎉🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
Chanson ou Danson? C'est vous qui decidez...! Cool, a magnificent love child of Piaf and GaGa. Let's just hope she keeps those magnificent shoulder pads - I can never get too much shoulderography in my life ❤
Une vraie belle chanson, avec une intro, un couplet, un refrain, un pont. Une magnifique artiste. Une sublime interprétation moderne et rythmée. En formulant l'espoir d'avoir le même Son le soir de l'Eurovision...
Although it doesn't knock my socks off like Spain does, I feel France deserves a good result with this, It's subtle and sensual French disco, very classy and stylish, really quirky and very French. She seems very charismatic too.
I'm in love with this one, it jumped straight into my top 1. At this point only Edgar Allan Poe, Samo mi se spava or Cha cha can take that spot i guess.
I love the staging of the MV. I loved the initial vibe. I love the visual styling. I prefer the ballad aspect over the dance part. I wanted a song that would show off her voice more, this song feels very one note in terms of vocals, apart from the one belt at the end of the bridge (but even that felt like she pulled out early).
well tbh i think it would be really clever of them to get her to hold back vocally and give a more toned down version here, and then in the actual final, suddenly let rip some big massive votes that noone was expecting and build up a surprise momentum when it matters most
this song is extraordinary, a long time ago when France did not see themselves winning but this is victory assured. There are references in this French song from all sides with this disco side à la Dalida and its disco title let me dance. brief attention Eurovision 2023 here is France. sorry for my English .🇨🇵🐓🇨🇵🐓
i dont think France will win with this, and i dont think theyd want to considering that they already have to host JESC 😂 But i am still hoping and wishing that this will do very well 🥰
it's great / this is a studio vocal clearly, I think if she delivers a powerhouse live vocal the whole thing will elevate! it's super fun / dramatic / french / disco...a great addition to this years selection / sort of in a similar vein to Lithuania last year (I think its better than last years, Fuhlen tbh I liked it but tbh was a bit amateur)
yea i totally agree, and i think its a very clever strategy. dont show all your cards, save some vocal flourishes or surprised for the final in order to have the momentum at the right time
The 70's disco vibe seems very deliberate, as there is a definite 70's revival happening in French pop music at the moment, with Juliette Armanet and Clara Luciani being clear examples of this.
This year, only two countries get the right song...Spain and France...mixing quality, traditional sounds/modern ones and languages used in the countries...so, bravo ladies....12 points for Spain and France !!!!
thank you for loving my language ! we hated esc france 2014 ! we thought Twin Twin deserved their last place La Zarra is a French speaking Canadian ! she doesn't personally grab me ! she can sing !
I really, really enjoy this and I hope it does well in Liverpool! Alvan and Ahez were absolutely robbed last year and I just hope that doesn't repeat itself with La Zarra!
as a Brazilian, it seems to me that this year the songs are not very captivating. Except, France and Spain seem very strong to me, and I'm waiting for Mimicat from Portugal to compose this selection of favourites. About La Zarra, this woman is phenomenal, the moment. If last year we had Chanel, this year's La Zarra. 🇧🇷🇨🇵🇵🇹🇪🇦
I adore Fulenn, and I prefer it to this, but this isn't bad either. It's great to see that France hasn't retreated into a formulaic, safe chanson turtle shell after placing so low with the first stroll out of their comfort zone. The comparison to Monika Liu's vibe is spot on. I quite like this.
yea and theres so much about this that makes sense. Its "safer" than Fulenn, but not Tom Leeb safe. its still got character and a spirit in it, which still feeling like a safe pair of hands
thank you for your comments, i'm french .....et j'espère que la Zarra soit la première .Et elle représente la langue française, ce qui me semble normal pour l'eurovision de représenter la langue de son pays
I loved Twin Twin too. I remember being appalled by it coming last! I’m also appalled by so many reactors of all nationalities pronouncing “Évidement”, so badly. Did no one learn French at school. Definitely subscribing!
i think the ideas that they have in that music video are great. i think they could completely cut out the audience and have it just her - like shes doing a private show for the cameras
As someone who didn't care for Barbra Pravi's 'Voila', my heart sank when you likened this to that. Then it played and I actually don't mind it! It's probably my favourite so far of all the songs that have been released, although the Belgian song is really growing on me!
haha yea i saw the belgian song was your number 1, i filmed my reaction to that but i keep forgetting to edit. im glad to see this has been received so well, its already 3rd in the community!
@@ESCTom it'll naturally rise in the rankings too! Just three or so songs left to reveal this month, then the rest follow next month. I'm hoping and praying we get that one song that really blows me away. Still waiting.
well i think we'll get some suprise drops too like we did with Australia. it makes sense to pick a random day and drop on your own, rather than on the same day as someone else and have to directly compete with them for attention and compete with their song
About C'est vous qui décidez : I don't think this song would have a chance of winning it... It's perceived abroad as very french but to us, it's on the same level as mimes and berets. France Télévisions seems to think that this would do well for them (they're probably right) so asking people for their opinion would not really work.
Disco is very strong atm though, but in a very different, much more energetic way: check Juliette Armanet - "Le dernier jour du disco" for a good example.
The song sounds great but I’m very conscious that we are looking at a video and not a live performance. The staging is great . She has presence but at the end of the day, can she sing it and deliver it live? If she can then I agree with everything you say but the live here is crucial. That’s the difference between her song and Barbara Praví where we had seen her perform Voila live at CVQD and could be more certain of the whole package. (Which is a bit like Sam Ryder last year. I really only felt confident when it arrived on stage in Turin) Re: Cest Vous Qui Decidez- I wonder if the reason she was internally selected 10:52 was because she expressed an interest. She’s an international artist and was an obvious choice so it was better to select her rather than put it to a public vote and risk the public choosing to pass it over. Hopefully CVQD will be back next year. ( I wonder if Australia are doing the same thing too.)
i think she'll be fine live. especially if she doesnt have to move like in the video re: CVQD, i heard that they didnt want to spend on it after winning JESC. and La Zarra is a safe pair of hands and its much cheaper to send her
La raison évoquée serait due à un coup de foudre pour l'artiste qui représente tout ce que le comité français attendait humainement d'une part et musicalement bien sûr. "C'est vous qui décidez" n'est pas abandonné juste que semble t'il cette année c'était une telle évidence pour eux d'envoyer la Zarra, que y'avait pas besoin de faire décider le public. C'est la version donnée, après je ne sais pas si c'est l'unique raison. Pour le live, autant j'ai pu trembler pour nos représentants (certains) autant là, comme pour Barbara Pravi, je pense sans trop me tromper que le live sera au moins aussi bien. Ce sont des chanteuses acharnées qui ont des capacités vocables indéniables. J'aimerais que rien ne soit modifié dans sa prestation, la tenue, ses mouvements, je trouve que tout est bien maîtrisé déjà. La Zarra a sorti un titre "tu t'en iras" qui a très bien marché en France. Je ne la connais pas plus que ça, c'est aussi une découverte pour moi, une classe et un charisme qui fait mouche. Wait ans sée ☺️
From what I heard (don’t know if it’s true) they couldn’t have their National final as now they have to organize Junior Eurovision. Too much money and the French government cut their funding this year.
i felt the same about voila and it really surprised me. i think this will appeal to an older audience, a demographic which is pretty much ignored at Eurovision generally
This one doesn't do it for me. The canned orchestra samples make it sound a bit cheaper and there is also just too much. Moments aren't allowed to linger and breath, every second has been filled by all these little flourishes that in the end don't really add anything. Makes the song feel very rushed to me. I'm sure she can bring it live, she looks confident and charismatic. I just wish for the song they would've remembered less is more.
i feel like this is an appetiser for the actual performance. shes pretty restrained in the vocal here and she could go for a lot more in the live show.
I kinda hate french entries when everyone likes them but I loved 2022 and it ended up low. I kinda hate france and Italy this year, too overhyped for me
@@williamdfr1715 “he hates “its not about music. It s about French entries. He hates them. Wow. That’s special. Did he lost his head during French Revolution so that he had problem with it ?
id be massively shocked if this was even bottom 5, let alone last. theres definitely some weak stuff which is going to make it through the semis and come last instead of this
