France: Patricia Kass 'Et s'il fallait le faire'
Last year the french entry into Eurovision stirred controversy in France because some of the lyrics were in english, and it is grood to see France has gone back to the traditional.... drivel.
previous entrant into Eurovision tATu once said "In Russia we look after the blind and the elderly but we don't send them to Eurovision," someone should have told that to France. this singer looks like she wont get home from Moscow and will instead be put into care.
I watched this song three times in an attempt to absorb it conciously rather than sub-conciously, but it kept putting me to sleep. Atleast it isnt a french musical experiment, but then, that might be better.
Ghost of Eurovision past: Paule Desjardins 'La Belle Amour' 1957.the best thing about the 1950's eurovision clips is that the girls dressed like toilet roll dolls.
