We will all be behind La Zarra on May 13, 2023. Hoping that the artist who represents France at Eurovision is doing better by then. Indeed, last weekend, the artist spoke on social networks just after having canceled concerts planned in Amsterdam and London. “I’m going to need a few days to deal with these difficult times”, she announced to her community. Since then, no one knows if she will be handed over to ensure her place in Liverpool, during the competition.
Whether she can participate or not, the semi-finals of Eurovision will be held on Tuesday May 9 and Thursday May 11 and a duo of commentators will indeed secure her place in the small skylight of the French. Indeed, Anggun and André Manoukian take the place of Laurence Boccolini in this position. The one who represented France in the competition in 2012 has already taken part in this exercise during the 2018 and 2019 editions. The journalist from Le Parisien announced the information this Wednesday, April 19 in the morning: “Change in the commentators of the#Eurovision : the semi-finals of May 9 and 11 will be commented on Culturebox by Anggun and André Manoukian”.

Laurence Boccolini replaced by Anggun… until the final
But will Laurence Boccolini return for the final? On this subject, our colleagues from Puremedia indicated that the host of “Everyone wants to take their place” “should, on the other hand and in all likelihood, find Stéphane Bern in the comments of the final. The name of the pair of commentators will be formalized on Tuesday April 25 by France 2” .
If we still have to wait for the official announcement, the journalist Kevin Boucher, for his part, confirmed the statements of Puremedia. “Info: don’t worry, Laurence Boccolini and Stéphane Bern will be happy to comment on the final of the#Eurovision May 13 on France 2″, he assured. Something to reassure fans of the host and the presenter of “Secrets of History”.
