passionpopCountry: France
History...
Debut: 1956
Previous Appearances: 55
Wins: 5 (1958 - André Claveau 'Dors, mon amour', 1960 - Jacqueline Boyer 'Tom Pillibi', 1962 - Isabelle Aubret 'Un premier amour', tie 1969 - Frida Boccara 'Un jour, un enfant', 1977 - Marie Myriam 'L'oiseau et l'enfant')
2013...
Artist: Amandine Bourgeois
Song: L'Enfer Et Moi
France has be trying a few things over the last few years to win the title that has eluded them for the last 36 years, they have even started using words in their songs that are not *shock* French. These attempts at change made the songs more interesting. This song remains in french and is possible as interesting, if not more so than anything they have sent to Eurovision in the last decade.
The singer is like a cross between Courtney Love and Amy Winehouse.... I don't know if she has the same additives in her body as they do though. It is a shame she was an idol winner because that implies she is quite the performer more than an actual talent.
The bookies don't rate this, but I wouldn't be surprised if it goes top ten just for being interesting
and this is over in Un, Deux, Trois
