Here are some facts:
1. The reason why they were absent in 1974 was that the French President's (at the time) death. The reason why they were absent in 1982 was that TF1 called this Drivel (which means Insanity) so they acquired France Télévisions to continue Eurovision.
2. The language in Diwanit Bugale was Breton (One of France's languages alongside with Corsican), Speaking of Corsican, The language in Sognu was indeed Corsican.
3. The organizer of Eurovision for France from 1956 to 1981 was TF1.
Thanks for learning!
Türk müsün:)
FINALLY SOMEONE THAT APPRECIATES FRANCE 2001, that song deserved so much more. Also France is a very good country in ESC, they need more love
Well, there is no love shortage on my end. Love France in Eurovision.
Natasha was amazing. A pure beauty and a great voice
One of the best songs on Eurovision...ever. I didn't get easily emotional about a song, but that touches me in a different way. Song sublime, performance sublime, just perfection. Gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it, I have such a soft spot for that song. She should have won Eurovision in 2001.
As a french guy i have things so add so here's some FUN (and someone not really) FAAAAAACTS :
- Most of french ESC entries or ESC singers didn't go through in french pop culture, there are some exceptions tho :
The entries from 1963 ("Si Jolie" by Alain Barrière) and 1965 ("N'oublie Jamais" by Guy Mardel) are somekind of old school classics here.
Also, singers from the entries of 1971 (Serge Lama), 1988 (Gérard Lenorman), 1993 (Patrick Fiori) and 2001 (Natacha St-Pier) are still active, and are still big names. Sébastien Tellier (2008) was already a kinda big name in french electronic scene back then. Fiori (1993) has been most known for his part in the Notre-Dame de Paris musical he did years after his ESC participation. Patricia Kaas (2009) was already a big name.
- France was really close to try carribean vibe earlier than 1992 : actually, for the 1983 entry, the song "Vivre" by Guy Bonnet has been selected in a national selection. But in second place in this national selection, there were a carribean band called La Compagnie Créole with their song "Vive le Douanier Rousseau". Both band and song are still cult classics in France, they have hits by dozens and may be the most famous carribean band here. You have to check this !
- Staying in French Overseas, Jean Gabilou (1981's entry "Humanahum") comes from Tahiti and is one of biggest polynesian singers. He had a hard time tho despite his good third place, because he sang his song having flu, and most of all his wife died in Tahiti when he was in rehearsals in Dublin for the contest, yet he decided to still run the contest.
- The 1990 entry, "White and Black Blues" by Joëlle Ursull, has been composed by the infamous Serge Gainsbourg. It was one of the last songs he composed, since he died in 1991.
- The singer of the 2004 entry, Jonatan Cerrada, was the first winner of the french edition of Pop Idol.
- Sébastien Tellier in 2008 is the only french ESC entry to have been mostly sung in English, yet he had to add some french lines for the contest, because i don't know why but french politicians really really take care about only french-speaking songs at ESC. Actually, he composed the song before have been asked to send an entry to ESC. He told that if they asked him to do a song especially for ESC, he'd do something entirely in French. Although he answered by saying in the radio : "if i sing in english at Eurovision, tomorrow your baguette won't become less good" He's cool, Sébastien.
Wow it's a lot of words. Really hope Barbara will do good this year in Rotterdam, so she will finally break the spell about how ESC is wiewed in France.
Definitely agree on 1991, and to think that Amina would have won when tie-break rules were changed...
Under the current rules, in the event of more than one country scoring the same total number of points, a count is made of the numbers of countries who awarded points to each of the tied countries, and the one who received points from the most countries is declared the winner. If the numbers are still tied, it is counted how many sets of maximum points (12 points) each country received. If there is still a tie, the numbers of 10-point scores awarded are compared-and then the numbers of 8-point scores, all the way down the list. In the extremely unlikely event of there then still being a tie for first place, the song performed earliest in the running order is declared the winner. Since 2008, the same tie-break rule now applies to ties for all places.[22]
I was angry when fucking Carola won, homophoob bitch, bad song.
I have been ranting about this for over 20 years!
Completely agree with 2001 and 2002, my 12 points for each year.
Allez Olla Ole is one of these songs that won the contest commercially. It was a huge commercial success across Europe and you can still listen to it playing in the beach bars of Southern Europe.
Merci!
I loved twin twin. Think I am the only one 😂
And France did come back in 2021 - Voila! 2.nd place
Moustache is one of my favourte dance-party-playlist songs from the Eurovision together with Verka Serduchka and Epic Sax Guy. I don't know why but the song just makes me happy exactly because it isn't deep song with a lot of meaning.
Love these reaction videos, Matt, I always look forward to them!
Totally agreeable with the comments regarding 2001 and 2002. Amazing songs. But my all time favourite Eurovision song is 2009, Patricia Kaas just blew me away!!

1990 Joelle ursull song was a hit, n°2 in the top 50 in France, 21st in Eurochart Hot 100,...
1996 it's Breton Gaelic (linguistically almost to similar the Welsh and Irish )
2001 & 2002 winning material!
Thank you from France, I love Fatals Picards 2007 :D
2007 2008 it's there you see that my country just let go and wanted to be fun and have fun.
2007 was a song mocking all the "i love you, i miss you" that why it's so -too much- pink, too much theater x))
And 2008 you have a men that is working with the best electro french musician, Daft Punk, Sebastian, Kavinsky, EdBanger Label, singing a cheap song having chorist dressing as jesus long hair and beard x))
It's just fun for now on x)) and the country is just trying to put differents artists and genre, not trying to win anymore i feel x)
1958. It's not a bad song but Italy should have won this year, and we can see it by the extraordinary success of the song in the entire world (By the was good luck to our neighbour in Eurovision 2019)
1960. Now we can talk about winner, her voice was totally on point and the song is great
1963. Totally disagree with you, I think it's one of our best Eurovision song. This ballad is very powerful and emotional. And in fact even some hold people in France can remember this song. It should have won
1965. This song had success in France thanks to its message and again, even today a lot of people can remember it
1967. Just need to say that I love her voice
1969. I just think the other 3 winners are better
1971. Serge Lama was a famous singer in France and I think that was a bit surprising for French to see this finish that low. It's maybe because of Monaco?!
1973. This song is so random. . .
1976. That's a totally deserved 2nd place
1977. Incredible, one of the best winner in the Eurovision History
1979. This song gives me chills when she say "Éh Reviens! Je suis l'enfant soleil!" But yeah it's not as good as "Tu verra, tu te reconnaîtra"
1980. Wtf
1990. Now that's a grandiose song, far from the 80's songs. Written by Serge Ginsburg (If my mind is correct), he wanted her to be as perfect as possible vocally speaking and that was 100% the case, should have won
1991. Our last win, and it was 100% deserved. Oh wait, she is not the winner?! WHAT?! I don't like to say that but THIS is the real winner, how the fuck did the Swedish song won when you have this masterpiece. She was robbed.
1992. Now that's great! I don't know if I can call that a guilty pleasure but I really like it. It transport me to another world. And by the way it's not Caribbean, it's French Creole
1993. I don't really like this guy but it was good
1994. This is weird
1995. I really like this song, love the melody
1997. One of my favorite entry. I love it, it feels a little bit mystical and sensible
1998. I really dislike this one
2001. Wow, but without the part in English it would have been even better
2002. Wow
2005. This is just bad
2007. So funny, and I like this group
2008. Even more funny, everything in this performance was funny like the camera angles for example
2009. Incredible, should have finish higher
2011. Disappointed
2017. I preferred the first version of the song
1988 is a great song, you must hear it more times, first times I didn't like it at all but then I've been loving the song more and more.
2007
If you are wondering what the language is in 1996 it is Breton which is a Celtic language like Irish and Welsh.
Omg merci 🙏 from France 🇫🇷

I really like France, except for 1958 I think they have the best winners on the Eurovision song contest, my favorites entries are 1959, 1960, 1969, 1976, 1980, 1981, 1998, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2014, 2017 and 2018! But the ones I really love and are my favorite from France are
1956 (Il est là)- Different and powerfull! One of the best songs from the year
1962- I know it wasn't the best but it's so melodramatic and I love it
1992- So different and cool, relaxing and wonderful, one if not my favorite entry from France
You should put on the next poll Moldova or an old Eurovision country (Monaco, Luxembourg, Yugoslavia, Andorra, Slovakia, etc.)
1962 is the best, it's incredibly melodic and the nostalgic lyrics shine through the melody perfectly well, with 1963 and france69 the best winners of the 60s!
Omg you love Alma!! 💕
Will you continue to review all songs from... after the 2019 season ? I would like to see the ones from "traditional" countries such as Monaco or Luxembourg !
Loved your comment on 2001 - for me the Winner and the best result of France in the 21st Century!! A pity it hasn’t won
1963 it's a big classic here in israel, didn't knew it was on eurovision!
Did you know that the singer from 1971 is Serge Lama, who wrote and sang the hit "Je suis malade", that got famous when sung by Lara Fabian
In the same way.. Alain Barrière made a great career, as did Annie Cordier, Gérard Lenorman, Isabelle Aubrey. Some of french singers who represented Luxembourg also had lot of success :-)
@@jupiter3067 Like France Gall too
The best ever song from France
to Eurovision 1979 Ann Marie Daviv
1992 is absolutely Caribbean, the singer/artist Kali is from Martinique (an overseas department of France), and the song is even partially in Antillean Creole.
Oh France
1963 is beautiful, my winner that year and one of my all-time favourites. I played it at the French class I'm attending, everybody loved it. :)
in 1976 in the chorists there was a great singer (Daniel Balvoine) but his dead 10 years after in helicopter crash during the famous Paris-Dakar :(
Kali 1992 still my all time favourite....global pop at its best.
Not Irish, it is "Breton" language from the region of Brittany :) 15:15
For the anecdote, in 1976, to the choir it was the known singer Daniel Balavoine, and had while 40 years the record of points for France
i personally believe 2010 was amazing, it just improved the whole spirit in that arena. It was in my top 3 with Romania and Turkey! And possibly one of the best ever french entry
was ging to ask where france gall was, then i remembered that even thou she was french she actually sung for luxembourg
1976, among the 4 chorists behind the female singer, there is her boyfriend who will become 10.000 more famous than her in France : Daniel Balavoine.
ffs everybody hates 2007 song but it's my all time favourite, i don't get it it's an amazing song
I like: 1958-1960, 1976-1978, 1984, 2001
Thank you from France
1990's "Black and White Blues" did it become a great hit in France, although I do not know if it was a summer hit since I wasn't born. But it is still remembered as one of our best Eurovision songs, especially since it was one of the last songs Serge Gainsbourg wrote before his death.
Yes it was a great hit in France.
I love Frensh 😍😍😍😍
Funny you said 'Elle était si jolie' (the 1963 song) isn't an evergreen because in Israel it is definitely considered to be an evergreen and a french classic, most people don't even know it was in ESC.
I love these recaps of countries. Thanks Matt for doing it. And I fully agree about 1991. Though I was cheering for Israel that year ;-)
I CAN'T WAIT! The week is only complete when I get Matt's reactions, and plus he reacts to old songs which are 1000000% better then newer ones
The older songs deserve so much more recognition
@@ESCunited
Indeed and that's why I'm so happy that you all at ESC United agree :)
Wow, our opinions are so different. France 1983 is my favorite French entry and I also adore France 1980, 1997 and 2006. At least we can agree that France 1991, 2001 and 2002 deserved to win.
I like all French entries except the first one from 1956, 1957, 1958, 1987 and 1988.
France 59 and France 60 are father and daughter, I think that is the only time that happened in Eurovision/ Grand Prix history.
I remember Marie Mryaim in 1977 with the song Bird and the Child.It beat one of the UKs best songs into second place with Rock Bottom
2010 was a good catchy song by France.It did not do very well though with Germany winning
The guy coming on in a golf buggy in 2008 dressed like a hippy I won't forget
I want Austria! As soon as possible :(
I'm ready for the live stream tomorrow 🙋
That makes two of us!!!!!
Loved Kali
1996 was sung in Breton
90's was mainly their decade (excluding win 1977) 1. Amina(ta oohps!) 1991, 1994 (Interesting, kind of anarchist performer),1997, 2012, 2016.
I've also been inside the building that hosted the 1978 Contest.
1991 absolutely deserved to win
Is there really no one else that likes 2006? Really? At least in studio I get a nice french rainy day vibe, in that way it's perfection.
Other than that in 2007-2011 France got my vote :D
1991 who would hate you ? Please. We should have won that year. Not even a question there
This is how the Brits felt when Jade did not win in 2009.A very powerful song with Andrew Lloyd Webber on the piano.Sgould have won by a country mile
🧡🧡🧡 2016, 2003, 1999, 1994, 1977, 2014 (yes! 😉)
🧡🧡 2002, 2004, 1985, 1992, 2007
No matter what France should have won this year it was by far the best entry!!Still don't understand why Patricia Kaas did so "bad" once again the best entry by far in 2009.Still so disappointed that France didn't won in 2001 and 2002, such amazings songs losing to the Estonia and Latvia crap...really?1996 was so beatifull it deserved so much more, way better than Ireland.But the year that I'm still angry about is 1991...WTF how Amina had to lose to the bs of Carola is beyond me, such a great song losing to a meaningless schlager ..unbelievable..one of the biggest crimes in the eurovision
Did you know that Andre Claveau was the first winner NOT to defend his title
Elle était si jolie not remarkable?! Its one of the classics of Eurovision! Great song.
2003 entry had to be as successful as 2001 and 2002
Do you have Italy or Ireland?
It's me or France always on Eurovision's winner before 2000's ?
Merci 🇫🇷 2018 best ever after 1979
I live for your pronunciation of Revenons a nos moutons
Hey, I did what I could :)
For your information, in the 90's, there was a real incomfortable situation with all the over-the-sea territories. Lot of them wanted to separate from France. That's why there were so many different music styles. Carabean rythm (Joelle Ursul, Kali) , arabic style (Amina), Corsica style (Patrick Fiori), Britain (Dan Ar Braz) (yes they sing in Britain, more irish than corsican) and after presenting very very good songs in those years, but never have win the competition, France came back to its pattern... ballads with white women (there were some exceptions, but those were more or less tries to laugh at this competition (Fatal Picard, Twin Twin and so on).
Natasha St-Pierre in 2001 should have win, for sure. This french-canadian singer did just give some interview this month, explaining how disappointed she was finishing 4th. Everybody told her she can't miss the victory. The bookmakers gave this song the winner far from all others competitors. She told that she was unable to call her parents in Canada to announce them she didn't win.
I think that France is always one year to late and try to imitate the previous winner. That's why people don't vote for France.
But in the last 30 years, I think France was sometimes better than the winner :-)
1956-2012? I think you meant 2018.
Yep, that I fixed that almost right away but you caught it anyway :)
Is that Lisa Kudrow at 12:18 ? ... Just kidding !
2015
You're aware that Chanson means song in french ?
Chanson is a whole music genre.
@@sexysadie2901
Wrong. Wikipedia : A chanson is in general any lyric driven french song [...]
Romania!
Re: your opinion in 1991 - yup co-signed. And then you go and spoil it all be hyping up 2001-2 - hell to the no!!! 👎👎sorry not sorry but I hate the Dion school of warbling. Not everyone hates France 2007 - I love it and was introduced to it by Harlequin Brin who's a massive fan! 2013 - I'm an indie rock so cosigning that!
I had never been through all our Eurovision songs, but now I feel like we almost never understood Eurovision, except for 1990/91 and since Amir. We kept sending extremely boring songs, and that's why Eurovision is mocked and made ridiculous in France. I was disappointed for Mercy since it is a wonderful song, but I guess I was more won over by the lyrics and the song loses most of its interest when you don't understand them.
I want eurovision us too happen!
I agree... You speak too much.
Hi! please react to Portugal!
Listen dont talk please 😊
Stop to talk!
Stop speak and listen
