#FRANCE: Destination Eurovision hopefuls announced
France Télévisions has revealed its format to hopefully win the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest. As for the contest in Lisbon, 18 acts will participate in Destination Eurovision. But who are they?
Aysat – Comme une grande
Battista Acquaviva – Passio
Bilal Hassani – Roi
Chimene Badi – Là-haut
Doutson – Sois un bon fils
Emmanuel Moire – La promesse
Florina – In the Shadow
Gabriella – On cherche encore (Never get enough)
Lautner – J’ai pas le temps
Mazy – Oulala
Naestro – Le brasier
Noémie – Ma petite famille
PhilipElise – Madame la paix
Seemone – Tous les deux
Silvàn Areg – Le petit Nicolas
The Divaz – La voix d’Aretha
Tracy de Sà – Por aqui
Ugo – Ce qui me blesse
The 18 acts will be split into two semi-finals, with a Grand Final made up of the best semi-finalists. The winner of the Destination Eurovision Grand Final will be selected by a mix of French public vote (50%) and the votes of 20 international juries (50%). Three expert judges will give their views on all the sings, but cannot vote. They are Christophe Willem, VITAA and André Manoukian. Amir has obviously gone back to doing his dentistry.
As saw in France, Destination Eurovision 2018 winners Madame Monsieur finished 13th in Lisbon with Mercy, despite being one of the favourites. France Télévisions must think they have a potentially winning formula. Here’s their performance in Lisbon.
Did you enjoy Destination Eurovision 2018? Will you be tuned in to the three shows early next year? Have you heard of any of the acts and is there a potential winner amongst them? Tell us what you think.
