“I took a Xanax”
But beware of La Zarra whose performance and his song Obviously was widely acclaimed even if the punters have, early in the morning, out of the Top 5 possible winners. But let’s keep hope because it would be a historic moment for France, which has not won since 1977, since Marie Myriam and her song L’Oiseau et l’enfant. “I took a Xanax” joked the Quebecer representing France during the final press conference.
Like every year, the competition is an explosive cocktail of music, emotions, colors and pyrotechnic effects. But it is especially on the Cypriot candidate that Laurence Boccolini lingered! She was indeed full of praise for the performance of Cyprus or rather… on the physique of Andrew Lambrou, representing his country with the title Break a BrokenHeart! A pop ballad with melancholy tunes that allows this young australian to show the range of his voice. At only 24 years old, the young artist already has an impressive career since he has been singing since the age of 5 and has already signed 3 singles with Sony. He is also a hit on social networks where he has more than a million subscribers… And very surely, soon one more subscriber with Laurence Boccolini!
