France 2021: Barbara Pravi - Voilà

[Tisch]

Oh @Tisch trying to fuck you up :
He needs to learn that those wine glasses don’t fill themselves

Lol in this house I can assure you it's me it constantly willing all wine glasses!

 

[Alex]

Lol in this house I can assure you it's me it constantly willing all wine glasses!

I did not want to cause a domestic.
(So did)

well yes we are aware of his habit of leaving cups and things lying around
I FEEL YOUR PAIN

 

[Tisch]

I'm struggling with this sentence, can't lie

 

[ButterTart]

I'm struggling with this sentence, can't lie

If I didn't know better, I'd think you were a wee bit tipsy.

 

[Tisch]

If I didn't know better, I'd think you were a wee bit tipsy.

Sacred Blue! How horrible of you to think!

 

[Penelope]

S'ALRIGHT

 

[Dark Carnival]

I woke up with VOILÀ VOILÀ VOILÀ VOILÀ in my head

 

[Iguana]

I woke up with VOILÀ VOILÀ VOILÀ VOILÀ in my head

Oh no she's got you too

 

[Dark Carnival]

Oh no she's got you too

 

[bypass]

It's getting very polarising reactions. I think it has the potential to be massive jury bait, less so televote.

 

[Iguana]

 

[Penelope]

The juries are obviously going to go wild for this. I could equally see it getting 18 points or 180 points from the public though

 

[Tisch]

I've done some research (2 minutes on Wikipedia) and it appears Barbara was the songwriter for that awful Valentina's Junior Eurovision entry. Twat status: confirmed.

 

[Pingu]

I think there’s a kind of base level desire from voters to hear something identifiably “Irish” or “Italian” or very recognisably from a particular country. It’s why Grande Amore did so well with the televote and why Spain were so stupid for not riding the Despacito wave.

I can see this doing very well for that reason. It’s SO “French.”

 

[GinAg (39)]

Have we ever paid this much attention to a French entry?

 

[Lucille]

19 pages for the French entry seems EXTRAORDINARY!

 

[Iguana]

I'm expecting the Melfest forum to be bursting at the seams this year

 

[Dark Carnival]

PARIS 2022!!

 

[Iguana]

PARIS 2022!!

Can you IMAGINE Babs' face if she wins the whole thing?

 

[Soldi]

This has Austria 2018/North Macedonia 2019 written all over it results wise.

In retrospect, it's probably why Requiem did so well when everyone was convinced it was doomed

Well if they were to match Austria 2018 it’d be their best result this century, so all in all a good choice then...

 

[Samanta TinAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

Poor BARBARA seems to be getting a degree of HATE online from some Euro-queens. I'm not sure WHY, I personally love this.

@Pingu's post above about it being so typically "French" that it may pick up votes is so on the money for me. It's EXACTLY what I want from a French song at Eurovision, if we are going down this route.

Such a great performance too! Really nice use of camera angles and shadow, and BABS herself sells the shit out of it in the grumpiest, French-est way possible. A huge improvement on whatever beige tat they were planning on sending last year

 

[Soldi]

 

[Alex]

Heaven forbid she mimes to it in the video.
I have to say I really love this now (I mean it was obvious I would really)

 

[Raining on Me]

I've just heard this for the first time and I think it's going to win the whole damn thing!*

*probably not but it's SO GOOD and is surely a shoo-in for top 10?!!

 

[Lucille]

Still AGOG this is on 19 pages !

 

[Lucille]

Not that I don’t love this and in my fantasy world it comes 3rd behind the the Ukraine and Norway.

 

[Soldi]

“The Ukraine”

 

[Dark Carnival]

“The Ukraine”

Pardon?

 

[Lucille]

“The Ukraine”

Get “The Laid”

 

[Soldi]

Pardon?

Why are people so insistent to add a THE. It’s just UKRAINE is it not?!

I do love SHUM if you had any doubt

 

[Dark Carnival]

OH

PHEW

 

[Iguana]

Why are people so insistent to add a THE. It’s just UKRAINE is it not?!

I do love SHUM if you had any doubt

Actually, he said "the the Ukraine"

 

[Lucille]

Actually, he said "the the Ukraine"

omg

 

[Soldi]

Get “The Laid”

“I’m Trying”

 

[Saltwater]

 

[Iguana]

I think this one has more likeness

 

[Iguana]

Can you IMAGINE Babs' face if she wins the whole thing?

I think this one has more likeness

Oh.

 

[Lucille]

I feel with so many icons this year that PLAINLY EVIL Barbara is slipping under the radar.
