There’s one and it’s this.

I don't see it not going top 5 at least, then.

 

[VoR]

Yeah this really has a clear run to gobble up the vote for this kind of thing. I think he's going to do really well.

 

[lolly]

I still have reservations where it goes a bit OTT at the end. For me, standing back to wow us with his vocal prowess doesn't work.

Oh I just watched this bit.

I have more than reservations about that bit, it’s absolutely detestable and he doesn’t even sound good doing it.

[ButterTart]

It sounds equally as shit when he's away from the mic as it does when he's right next to it.

 

[lolly]

Yeah, still unpleasant

I mean there’s no way he’s not finishing top five with the juries.

That’s what I thought but it’s very screechy

I think people overestimate how much that matters. Brividi sounded like two deaf cats clawing each other to shreds and still wound up 7th with the jury.

 

[OutSynk]

Well this was the biggest surprise for me from the 2nd semi. Will watch it again tomorrow.

 

[dUb]

This was not giving what he thought it was giving

And I only like to be shouted at by women thank you very much!

 

[Raining on Me]

Well it's no SUUS, is it?

I thought this came across better in the arena (albeit a rehearsal) than on TV. And didn't he fluff that last note? It sounded off and not in the way that it always sounds off.

 

[Lucille]

Quite risky putting him 25th, a lot of the HORNY MUMS will be in BED by then.

I couldn't DECIDE. It was very

 

[GALA]

Don't like the song, but I will accept him inside me.

 

[Marina Salty]

This was in my head and I've just accidentally sang je t'aiiiiiiimee at the office, and I don't even like it

"Mon amour" shoots up 42 places, reaching #2 on the French charts. It's the best position for a Eurovision entry since Amir's "J'ai cherché" in 2016, and Slimane's highest-charting solo single to date. Another one of his jumps up from #192 to #86 this week, while his new best-of album enters straight at #1.

Nemo is in at #92, the only other charting entry from this year (Loreen entered at #34 last year).

"Tattoo" currently sits at #90 (+9, having insanely spent an entire YEAR in the top 100) and "Is It Love" is at #126 (-20). I'm waiting to see if they push "Forever" on the radio to further establish Loreen in France...

What about my dreams?

What about elephants?

What about the HOLY LAND?!
