It’s really live. Slimane is massive in France. He won The Voice France 2016 then he released 4 albums: all of these reached #1 in french charts. He is also an amazing songwriter for himself or the greatests from the french music scene. And a vocal coach on some of the major singer contests there.
I deeply love this song. It is as if Voila (for the emotion) and Évidemment (for the lights) had a baby 🥰 Slimane is a great artist and the live performances I’ve seen so far are really good. I think we’ll get a little revamp of the instrumentation to renew the song before the contest season. Finally, France have a big name (his albums are all #1 here) and I hope it’s for the best 😊
@@Maria_muziekjes To each their own, to me this song is much listenable compared to Voila which only came alive for me when I saw it on the Eurovision stage
Slimane has a massive fan base in the French speaking world, so we know he is going to do well in Belgium, the Netherlands and Switzerland. It's a jury pleaser so Im gonna go ahead and say he's gonna be at least in top 5.
Here's the thing... Italy and Sweden are Europe's favorite children at ESC. Whatever they throw out, fans are eating it. And if any other country pumps out a song that is even remotely close from previous Swedish or Italian entries, they're "trying too hard", "copycats" or doomed to fail because people are gonna compare so much that they will never see these entries for what they really are, other than carbon copies. As for the countries that got punished for always doing the same thing (Italy and Sweden excluded), whenevr they try something different, they're being punished even more because "it doesn't fit their image". So yeah, I'd say France should take the Portuguese path : lets stay true to ourselves, whether it fits or not, and let's not care anymore if people like it or not.
I very much like the song but you're so right, it is safe. I think all the people saying it's a winner are delusional. It's way too early to be able to predict something like that
I would envision an elevation of thé song where we could have, as you say, an ethnic instrument much more present through the song and the staging could be around a dialogue between him and the instrumentist, everything intimate ans showcasing his super skilled voice.
Well Italy has not invented the ballads as far as I know France competing with ballads largely even before Italy and even won with some of them. The french chanson is still a thing. So no France is not copying nobody or whatever they just bring their culture with that song. Now if you can't make the difference between french and italian culture and music then I can do nothing. Voilà did well with the televote though and it's in the same vein. You're never or rarely convinced by France though.
Sir. This is not Voila and no one said that Italy has a monopoly on men singing ballads. If it is nuance you’re unable to detect just say that. Italy has been doing VERY well with their formula at Eurovision. France’s recent Eurovision track record is not as solid. We will see how well Slimane does in May, but the buzz is currently not residing around France’s offering (for now)
@@AlesiaMichelle which buzz? In your small eurofans world, it doesn't count, however I invite you to look at some reactions coming from outside this biased world you will be surprised. And this is not "Voilà" , so Voilà is a reference for you now...glad to hear that now seeing your tweets about it in 2021.
@@user-ek3ri7gv8e And what can I do? I'm not responsible of all these useless pre contest data. If I compare the other big 5 countries results since 2016 except for the beloved Italy I'm not ashamed of my country. In 2021 the overall act we send was perfect yes and? Did France won? France brings their biggest star, the most talented guy of the country with a beautiful and intense song and it's still not enough to satisfy the average eurofans apparently. But anyway whatever France does or bring it would never be enough so... let Slimane showing is talent on the big stage that's the most important thing.
@@user-ek3ri7gv8e but no I talked about the reactions outside this famous bubble rightfully, I've never said the average eurofans love it. Ok I hear what you say but based on what you decide who could win or not or who could be top 10 or not, no offense but who are you to decide? And it's certainly not this biased bubble who decide neither, if it was the case Adrenalina or El Diablo would have won Eurovision for example.
I agree, it has the ingredients to do well and I love him as a performer. I struggle to see this in the top 3 though; the song just doesn't give me the same shivers as Voilà did.
France has been sending French ballads since the creation of the competition. This song is typically this kind of ballad, so it's nonsense to say they copied Italy.
I am not saying they “copied” Italy EXCEPT for the styling- it is too reminiscent of what was served last year. ALSO: with the exception of Tom Leeb, France hasn’t sent a male ballad in the last 10/12 years… Sognu was pop-era so it doesn’t count as a straight up male ballad.
I really like his song ‘des milliers de je t’aime’ but this song lacks something and I can’t figure out what it is, never the less he’s an excellent singer, but it’s s song contest not a singing contest that’s what worries me.
La chanson est très bien comme ça. Ecoutez d'autres chansons de Slimane et vous comprendrez qu'ici en France on l'apprecie pour son interprétation, sa voix et surtout son talent pour écrire des chansons qui prennent aux tripes. Les fioritutes ne font pas tous dans une chansons, plus j'écoute cette chanson et plus j'apprécie sa simplicité. Et non on a pas copié l'Italie c'est juste le style de l'artiste avant de parler faite des recherches sur les artistes et leurs motivations. Moi ca faisait longtemps que je n'avais pas été aussi contente de l'artiste qui nous représente.
Yes, but not based on a deep and "expert" analysis (as you and other Eurovisión reviewers might do) They vote just what they like. They are not really the experts we assume they are.
Not a bad song, but maybe we need a little revamp, which makes it more elevated and energetic. But I do think, it could win or finish Top 5 in a weak year.
Im so bored of italy sending a hot half naked dude to sing a ballad on stage and getting in the top 10 and now france is doing the same? Yall had it right with Zarra, give us a french diva
It will do well but i dont think its going to win. If we look at the other artists who we have so far they are going to bring a high energy performance, a full show. I agree that this is safe and in this year a song like this will stand out but not in a winning way, it is going to be a breath of fresh air but not much else
if they want any hope of winning then they need to 1) add something to the final chorus and 2) reeeally milk his looks and give us lots of close-up shots. Vocals alone will get him into the top 5 with the jury, but for the tele they need to make him telegenic and relatable to viewers.
It's very difficult to watch Eurovision. Is it a song contest or a contest of screaming, staging, lights, dancing and gesticulation?? It's so corny.... This sublime song "Mon amour" can change the image, make it more modern, more digestible, more in tune with our times....
This being described as "modern, digestible, more and in tune with our times..." is screaming out-of-touch :-/. This is giving classic "throwback" Eurovision to a tee.
Slimane is an excellent interpreter, but as already said, that alone will not be enough, for Italy only a singer on stage is enough, for France it is not, so they need a really original visual effect, and this is not a shiny dress.
I like the direction this is headed in: Good song with a vocal journey that I can tell will slay live since Slimane's a seasoned artist (another plus!). My big concern with France is staging, last two years that's where they really fumbled. I do agree that an extra shot of something should be added to the live performance, I'm assuming there was hesitation to add an ethnic flavor right after a fellow Magrebi-descent artist won and who's look was also inspired by her roots. But with his talent, they can definitely try more things. Bright side: maybe this will encourage Italy to choose a female artist at Sanremo so as to not split the votes lol.
I think the only way that this would come top 3 in televote as it is would be if he was belting this to within an inch of its life while sitting in a ring of fire wearing a full gold outfit and perfect black eyeliner, it will be a jury darling but we only have 2 songs so far and i have already forgotten it.
Most people will watch it for the first time on the night, same as most who will voting too. It's already pretty captivating, just like Voila. It's forgetable if you watched it 2 months before, but then when you watched it on the night, like most are, its captivating and got second, but who knows, anything can happen with Eurovision. I really didnt like Duncan Lawerence song, thought it was boring, hated everyone who loved it. then on the night, i was like wow, its pretty good and then it won. Did i think it was gonna win, no, but it won so there you go
I said everything that would matter. He has a great vocal. France should be thoughtful in staging this. I don't think it is a sho-in to win... but looking at the landscape now it has a shot (might be long) but a shot. If you want to watch someone sit in silence RUclips reactions are not the place for you.

Why do we keep on thinking that juries vote "quality", "voice", "artistic values"?
They vote on staging, vocals, and radio friendliness primarily.
Yes, but not based on a deep and "expert" analysis (as you and other Eurovisión reviewers might do) They vote just what they like. They are not really the experts we assume they are.
That laugh full of condescension...
Exactly what I thought !!
It’s a good song but it doesn’t give me winner vibes. Maybe top 5 but a winner song must have more than this.
