Let’s face it, for all the complaining that the Big 5 have it easy at the Eurovision Song Contest, it’s actually not so glamourous. Sure they get an automatic spot in the final, but for many years this didn’t translate into placing on the scoreboard!

In this new series, ‘Best of the Big 5’, Eurovision Ireland are going to put the spotlight on the contest’s major financial contributors and find out just who is your favourite for each country.

Over the last two weeks, you’ve been voting for your favourite-ever Eurovision entry from France – we’ve whittled it down to our 20 finalists, but who will get that ticket into the Eurovision Ireland Hall of Fame? Let’s find out!

Here are the fully adjudicated results from both our semi finals, one for songs from odd numbered years and one for even. Both polls are now closed, but if you want to take a peak and see where the other songs ranked, check them out on our Odd Years Poll and Even Years Poll.

	ODD YEARS	POINTS	EVEN YEARS	POINTS
1st	Je N’ai Que Mon Âme (2001)	266 points	J’ai Cherché (2016)	212 points
2nd	C’est Le Dernier Qui A Parlé Qui A Raison (1991)	235 points	Un, Deux, Trois (1976)	184 points

4th	Requiem (2017)	218 points	Il Faut Du Temps (2002)	173 points
5th	L’Oiseau Et L’Enfant (1977)	170 points	Mon Alliée (The Best In Me) (2020)	157 points

10th	J’ai Volé La Vie (1989)	111 points	La Source (1968)	101 points

But don’t let these results influence you – all scores have been reset, so it really is anyone’s game! Any one of these 20 songs could be crowned your favourite French Eurovision song!

As well as bragging rights ad infinitum, the winner of our poll will also be granted passage into the hallowed Eurovision Ireland Hall of Fame – exciting stuff!

Use your votes wisely – as always, you can vote for your Top 10! The results will be announced in a video that will be posted next week – so don’t delay, cast your vote!
