Alvan & Ahez “Fulenn” Reaction | 🇫🇷 France Eurovision 2022 

It's funny how Deban says that he doesn't need several "folklore" songs every year while most songs in Eurovision are actually quite generic pop. And folklore is quite unique to every country... Go France, this stands out and I'm super happy they won ! 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷

Obsessed with “Fulenn” from first listen. Thrilled Alvan and Ahez won. Finally excited for Eurovision this year. Love love love for 🇷🇸 🇫🇷 🇳🇱

Breton is actually a celtic language and not a French dialect, its closest neighbours are Cornish and Welsh. Also the Bretagne region is actually smaller than Brittany itself, including the Loire-Atlantique département which isn't in the administrative region has the former capital city, Nantes. You miss a fifth of it on your map then 😇 And "Fire" is "TAN" in breton, and your opinions and your way of presenting them absolutely have it ♥️

We are proud of our entry, almost 1 Million of view in 3 days, it's insane when you compare this to the Eurovision hype we unfortunately don't have in France 😕 This song will become really popular in France, and the first step to win Eurovision is to send a song you like in your own country. We have the first step, the song is unique and memorable, the performance is catchy and memorable too, let's go get an other insane result !

From Spain to France. I LOVE THIS. Ethnic, powerfull and unic. I wish yo so much luck brothers 🥰🇪🇦🇨🇵

I'm just in love. They are amazing.

Serbia and France are serving this year! I just love when artists rip of the box and give us some serious quality. Great job.

This is my new Eurovision frontrunner for this year. I was a big fan of Go_A last year though (and yes, enjoy their actual music), so I think I'm part of the natural base for this type of song. Just like with the music video for "Shum," I want an invite to that party in the woods!

This is my new No.1- supporting Brittany all the way! 🏴🏳

Hi eurofans, i m french. I know, my country won't win with Fulenn but i m really proud that we made that choice. Good Luck for every one.

I absolutely ADORE Deban's sincerity, he always puts a smile in my face with his comments, even if we don't have the same opinion :D

your interpretation is very interesting - how much about the story behind the song do you know? because it is *exactly* right. the background mythology is a folk story of bretagne, it's about a girl who wanted to dance and party, but was locked away by her uncle until she could find a suitor who could dance for 12 hours with her. but all the men died trying to entertain her, until one servant helped her escape into the woods, where she finally found a man who could dance with her, crazier and crazier, until she herself died. turns out, it was the devil. the story then goes that even today in a full moon you can hear hear dance in the woods around that castle in brettony. the girl's called catherine the damned (only french wiki). also, the song reinterprets this story a bit with its 'chorus': "yeah, I am dancing with the devil - so what", so it's got a strong empowerment feel to it.

This song is 🔥 absolutely lit. I ♥️ it. Congratulations France for choosing the right song to represent your country. 🇫🇷 12 points from Sydney, Australia 🇦🇺

I am in love with this song! It stands out so much compared to everything else, it’s just epic! My absolute winner this year! 🇫🇷

I'm Italian, I live in Spain, and my two countries were also my favourite two songs... until I listened to this one. And especially until I understood the lyrics. Absolute favourite this year.

This is giving me tanxugeras +raiden meets go-a… it is an absolute grower and i love it!

La langue de mes ancêtres paternelles. Je suis d'origine bretonne et j'en suis fière! BREIZH ATAO!

Foreigners like when you talk to them about Paris, the love that drips... It's so cliché!! Ok, met France is not just Paris!!! Our "breton" is not a dialect, it's a language. The cries of the singer are heard here in our "fest noz" when people dance together.. And our "fest noz" are recognized as part of the intangible heritage of humanity by Unesco. The costumes are not copies of foreign countries, the are made with old embroideries made here.. Sad to see that the vision of postcard Paris still takes precedence over minority culture which in my eyes is just as valuable...

A masterpiece.Just amazing.

"I have no idea what's going on, but I like it!" That sums up a perfectly confounding ESC performance, doesn't it?

France is more than just Paris, we have many cultures and this is a very important one!

I think we need more of these songs!! Folklore songs are originals and authentic! It’s the true essence of sending something that represents that country!

12 Points from España! Cheers to our brothers across the Pyrenees. I hope you win (if we don’t of course ;D)

I bet the French delegation are doing some mental gymnastics, trying to figure out how to feature the eiffel tower in the staging as we speak

This song is so captivating so enchanting ✨✨✨✨

I immediately loved when I watched for the first time. There is something hypnotic in this song. It's my favorite along with In Corpore Sano.

France 🥰 my num one this year 🇲🇹good luck 🤞🇫🇷

lmfao when deban thirsts so hard that he forgets there was a song

OMGGGGGGGGGG WIWIBLOGS FINALLY A REACTION VIDEO OF FRANCE EUROVISION 2022 FULLEN 💥 WINNER? I LOVE THE ORIGINALITY OF MY COUNTRY TWICE IN A ROW 😍 👑 🇫🇷

Hi in all honesty this song really stands out .... I heard each songs while driving and those Which drew my attention were France Netherlands and Czech Republic

Deban doesn't like it ? You know what does it mean ? "Luck" : France's gonna get a high score ! ...JUST KIDDING xD Deban I truly love your sincerity, never change anything ;) Thanks you guys for your reactions, positive or negative, it's always a pleasure to hear them! I personally love this song by its originality and its good rythme. I'm not from the west but from the center of France, and even if I didn't understand anything at the first listening; I was totally thrilled by this song. I'm very proud of it, and very confident too. But sure, everyone has different tastes, c'est la vie ! ;)

This is gonna be one of new club anthems in 2022. It's pure fire!! I also loved Terra but France brought it to another level! 🔥 Why do I always have to agree with William lol

Living in Brittany, I’m very proud of them. I didn’t like a lot at first hearing but it’s growing everyday. 🥰✨ I wish them the best for the weeks to come 🖤🤍

There are singing in my native language "Brezhoneg" i'm so proud, really ! Don't forget that french government don't like at all all the natives languages of France so it is really a good thing for me, sorry for my english ^^

I love the fact that this is SO different and unique, that it still is very catchy and stucks in your head! When I first listened I was like: wth is this, and then why I listened to it more I really started to like it!

I miss Deban and William together listening to the songs sharing earphones

THEY ARE ON FIRE 🔥🔥 MY WINNERS

The 2nd time France sends a breton song ! The jury and audience agree with the song ! AT LAST, Brittany has the best example this year with AR FULENN. I believe France is about to win in Torino !

Just to pick up something Deban said. Breton is not a dialect of French. It is a long spoken language akin to Cornish and, to a slightly lesser extent, Welsh. There has actually been a French entry in Breton before - 1996 with "Diwanit Bugale" by Dan ar Braz et l'Héritage des Celtes.

This has winner all over it. Top 5 at least. I love it for being so original

The sound is just amazing

Deban will be eating his words when they top the table in Turin

I was in love with Soa's song Seule. It was so infectious, a real ear worm I still can't stop playing but this was my second favourite in France's selection. I understand why this beat Soa as the performance was awesome and energetic compared to Soa which suffered from lacklustre vocals and an awkward performance. I do think this will either be Top 10 at Eurovision or at the bottom of the table, but for now its in my Top 10.

I’m really happy with this, even before we get the result, I was rooting for France to keep up sending high quality entries and they didn’t let us down ❤️💙

"The witches have gone to the club" 🤣 love that. This was so good, can't believe I didn't know how good it was sooner! Forest rave, that's what I'm talking about! 😄

This is my favourite so far! I love it! Well done France!

I loved the song from France last year and I also love this song. Go France! Greetings from Switzerland.

Aaaaaa William I like yr reactions....all yr emotions on yr face...u like open book... France is my favorite country in Eurovision...wish them Good luck and love from Armenia 🇦🇲 ❤️ 🇫🇷

I’m so proud or choice my country !! Let go fulenn !

I love reading Eurovision blogs because of the research/interest that goes on before critiquing songs, especially when traditional singing techniques or references are involved. Here Declan said himself that he didn’t show interest in it this year and it resulted in quite insensitive comments about Britton culture, this is not folklore to us but the songs that we grew up with, that keep on evolving and got modernized to the point of being able to enter Eurovision, no « messiness » or copy involved.

Ughh. That shade from Deban. This is my most played song this year!

Sooo underrated at Eurovision! I am obssessed!

This is my favourite for sure!

06:57 Britton has been used by France at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1996 by Dan Ar Braz & l'Héritage des Celtes (19th place in Oslo). Thank you very much William & Deban for your sincere comments about our contribution this year.

Great video! So funny seeing them fawn over Alvan! I think this sounds more modern than Terra from Spain! Also, at this rate, Wiwibloggs should have a Pinterest account!

Pire que coronavirus, tu écoute une fois, tu écoute toujours

My winner for now but i don't kwon if it's because is really good or because i'm proud of my contry.

A bit cheeky from Deban, saying we don't need "ethno-bop" every year, when we get angtsy "oh woe is me" depressing ballads every year - and this year in particular, where we are drowning in the bloody things 😩

For your information, this is also a feminist anthem from britain mithology story about a girl forced by her dad to be married, and she prefered to escape in the forest, and dance with devil until death rather than loose her freedom …

I agree with Deban's.. it's really to much goning on 😅 but I wish France good luck and also fun.

Fière 🙏🇫🇷

France douze points du Portugal 🇵🇹. J' adore !!!!

I can’t stop saying how I love Deban’s reaction I’m sorry guys🤣 my favourite RU-vid duo!!🥰

I love this so much. My top 3 ❤️

Deban, you are absolutely gorgeous!!!! 💖 "Whatever you're selling, I'm buying it. Let just put it out there", ahahaha...😇🤣🤣

My winner 🇫🇷❤️

This is my favourite to win

My 3rd rn. I LOVEEEEEE this.😭❤️

I dont know what to say abt this one 😭 is so much going on 😂

Thankful for william for taking his time to react , during his holidays ❤

I didn’t click at first but now i really respect it musically

I think that the WWblog interwievers will press to ask Alvin... I already see hearts in their eyes 😂

The song exploded the jury and public votes for the selection. The song talks about a free minded girl dancing with the Devil of her own free will until she dies :)

My joint favourite so far - this is amazing in every way!

Winner alert!!!!!!!

The french Go_A I love it😂❤️

Ritual Breton EDM with Inca vibes...I LOVE IT

I love very very much Fulenn but if there's a "problem" with it, it's about the type of song : deban said it :"it's not a song it's a performance"... Question is : what will be Europeans reaction to it the night of the final? 🤔

If Debban does not like it, I break up with him !

Here's a moment where I partially disagree with Deban. He's still enjoyable though. I'm with William for this. And yes, the performance is quite messy and it can benefit from some tidying up. Both in visuals (lights, effects, camera shots) and audio (sound mix, backing vocals, more solid and out-there production perhaps?) Especially if the camera shots redirection includes more focus on Alvan's stunning gorgeousness, yaaas girl! But anyway the song itself is very interesting and one of the most listenable songs of the year for me although I can't speak the language. I love electro, I love ethnic, I love the combination, I love the pagan psychedelic elements and unlike Deban, I wouldn't mind 10 (or more) ethnic entries every year. For me this is one of my favourite French entries and the competition is not low at all. If they do the staging right, this can be my Eurovision 2022 winner.

Breton is absolutely no dialect of French 😄 it's a Celtic language. Related to Welsh and more distantly to Gaelic.

How can you not be hyped about this song?! We get the same generic pop song or boring ballad year after year, why not more of this modernization of traditional aspects? I'm glad to see that France take a risk and didn't choose a stereotypical song since it did so well last year. They definitely can tighten up the performance and camera work.

this song memorios my spirit to the sky form norway

Without doubt, the best live performance that I've seen this year so far watching a number of countries finals and really hope this does well.

I though this seemed quite naff at first, primarily because of the French final's cheap staging, the cheesy pyro and the overall messiness... but since then I have been listening to the studio version on repeat. It's so addictive! I think this has huge potential for televote success, and France showed last year they can really improve the staging for the real thing. I'm now looking forward to this most in Turin!

I TOTALLY LOVED IT!

First of all welcome to my country! Where in Morocco are you? Now I’m GLAD France chose this song cuz it was def the best out of all the options. This is a better Tanxugueiras.

I love this song, I really do. But I'm very sceptic about how it will translate in a presentation. I do love folk trance. And normally, these presentations are with just a DJ and a voice sample. So I don't really know if this will translate to Eurovision in a good manner. Kudos to France because it is an entrancing song and I've been listening to the studio version in repeat. But I'm not that sure if I would put it as a possible winner. Definetely a fan favourite by now and the song is marvelous. But I'll have to wait for the final presentation I guess.

This is Really Great İn my Top 5 so Far 💖💖🥰😍😍

I’m with Deban in this.

Una delle migliori proposte musicali dell'edizione: magica ed allo stesso tempo elettrica. My number 3.

I was thinking exactly the same thing, like omfg he is so hot

thank's you guys for your support

This is much better than Spanish song. Like French Boney M. If they win Spain win cry out for their runner up. But I want Spain or France to win this year.

Omg I absolutely love Deban and his honesty 😍

Love Deban’s reaction!!!!!! 🤪🔫

I love this entry and we so sad to see it end up penultimate at this year's ESC. It had so much energy and mysticism. Showcasing their culture is what ESC is all about. Deban doesn't seem to understand this at all. He's such a downer. Also, Breton is NOT a dialect of French. Please learn that. William's positivity is what keeps me coming back to wiwibloggs. Thanks for your positive review.

Is William in Morocco by any chance ? His background looks Moroccan

lyrics Let's go! In the darkness of the woods germinates the night The starts appear in the restless rustle A feminine shadow twirls in the light of a torch By making wild beasts I dance I steal the fire from their gaze full of desire And turn it in a song to sing in unison She dances with the devil, so what? I dance with the devil, so what? Blaze and mud, blaze, party, and mud The forest vibrates in contact with the dancing spark Its enchanting magic rises until the tall trees By making wild beasts I dance I steal the fire from their gaze full of desire And turn it in a song to sing in unison Fearless in the middle of the clearing dance the spark Twirl and twirl around it unchained souls (x2) Lalalalalalaleno lalelalo Lalalalalalaleno lalelalo Lalalalalalaleno lalelalo Lalalalalalaleno lalelalo I dance with the devil, so what? WIth the devil I dance She dances with the devil, so what? Lalalalalalaleno lalelalo Lalalalalalaleno lalelalo Lalalalalalaleno lalelalo Lalalalalalaleno lalelalo Fearless in the middle of the clearing dances the spark

Dialect?!? Deban. Breizh and French aren't even in the same language family, and you are talking about dialect? Honey, no.
