France has been waiting for a winner in the Eurovision song contest ever since. Saturday May 11, Slimane will represent France, with a good chance of winning.
On stage and off, he is widely anticipated. Slimane, several times platinum disc and already well known to the general public, will represent France at the Eurovision final, Saturday May 11. He could win international recognition in the biggest song competition in the world. For his performance, he chose a love song, declaimed with intensity: the bet on sobriety in a glitter competition.
47 years without a victory
“Now, I really want to be on stage, to sing, it’s becoming important”confided the singer. “Since I was little, I wanted to be heard”, he heard. More than 200 million people could watch the event on television, and the singer chose to sing in French. “I don’t believe we gamble with music or with art, I believe we are, I’ll just try to be”, Slimane also said. This choice could bear fruit, he could thus become the first representative of France to win in 47 years.
