🇫🇷 ESC 2022 France: Alvan & Ahez - Fulenn

[@EmoBearRights]

Breton isn't a romance language it's Celtic like Welsh, Cornish or Irish or Scottish Gaelic.

[@monalisa3852]

I love it. France is definitely getting some of my votes in May. Cheers from Belgium.

[@danslesbrasdemorphee4181]

Yey thanks neighbor ;)

[@TheFaruk2]

I'm from and living in Brittany but i dont speak britton but every year in City of Lorient on August, there is a biggest festival in the world about celtic music from all celtics nation including ( irish, welsh, asturia, Galicia, Cornwall , Island of Man, etc..) This summer festival is about meeting our celtic cousin and common culture all around the world with music, languages, danse .. Its also a moment to be and celebrate our love about family and ancestor. The fun IS great because you dance with old and young people during one week. Celtic mood is between warrior and poetics, Magic and never complains, optimistic and fatalism, you are what you do not what you think.

[@AnAmericanInDenmark]

Very cool vibe, something totally different, and this is why I love Eurovision. Great to listen to, thanks to the intricate harmonies and instrumentation. I really like it!

[@piktasvaikasvid]

this is my favorite and i'm playing it on repeat and definitely voting for them ♥

[@rabiielanwermansour4559]

Saaaame!

[@manuelfernandes8405]

And my 12 points, from Portugal, goes to ... FRANCE ♥ 🇫🇷 🇫🇷 🇫🇷 🇫🇷 🇫🇷 ♥

[@palm2004]

One of my faves

[@Leifdk1]

I quite like this and it was my favourite in the French selection from the beginning - although I figured they'd never pick it. It's both ethnic and clubby and I'm here for it. Not totally sold on the live performance but it honestly does not take much away from the song. It's not a terrible performance... I just think to do REALLY well they'll need to kick it up a notch nore. Because they could do great this year. I agree about "Shum". And also there are echoes of "Water" from Bulgaria in 2007. We needed this song in 2022.

[@Kapok-Bush]

I'm Breton and hope that an extended version of this song will be released later, something about 4 or 5 mn max. "Fulenn" is a mystical captivating entry. The lyrics tell about a maiden who's dancing with the Devil in the woods all night long. That's what explains the mysterious atmosphere conveying something related to witchcraft and old pagan celtic gods. Green colour is by far a very good choice for the staging: it clearly refers to the forest and above all oak trees that matter so much in Breton Celtic spirituality.

[@rowenn1729]

Breton is a celtic language very similar to what great bretons spoke before northern and roman invasions. Anterior to the roman empire.

[@mishinha]

I love it, my winners for this year.

[@chucku00]

Gauls and Armoricans were also celtic tribes and their language existed before Roman overtake of Gaul, it isn't a Romance language even if a lot of the more recent vocabulary comes from Latin. Some Britons came to Brittany after the Anglo-Saxon invasion (before Normans invaded England) and their language was mixed with Armorican.

[@kaoLimunada]

I am 100% sure they will make it into the final. Keyword big 5 LoL

[@sweetgirl070707]

France and Italy are killing it second year in a row, very happy for them. I won't be surprised if they both finish top 3 again.

[@Scheherasad]

First time I like a song from France on ESC

[@adrii694]

I miss Maia! 😢 I really like the French song btw, probably in my top 3

[@youtpfpm6097]

The Bretons were not fleeing the Normans but the Anglo-Saxons, 300 or 400 years before the arrival of the Vikings and 500 years before the conquest of William the Conqueror. No St Patrick or Halloween in Midwest ? Because it is celtic.😁 In 1996, France already send a song in breton. In 1998, the second best sale of singles in France was a mix of traditional breton music with rap. And there were also hits with rock and electro. France did not wait for Shum or Tanxugueiras or some other obscure foreign group to do so.

[@bambiclumsyfawn]

I've seen a lot of comments on internet about the cultural appropriation in this song, so for people who will read this : As a French woman, raised in Bretagne (french region), I swear there is no cultural appropriation here. It's, for the Bretons/Breizhad, the traditional instruments, the lyrics are in traditional language (breton) and in France it's very controversial to speak a regional language and not French. They singing in their native language and music is in traditional style with electro to modernize the song.

[@Syl75]

I don’t think that’s their native language.

[@vladimirpavlovic1243]

Love your reactions 😂 I always have a good time with you

[@karinseregni221]

I really like this, this is BOLD coming from Miss Perfect, France.

[@luisfilipe9272]

Magnifique !

[@TheManInBlueFlames]

We haven't had a song in Breton in a hot minute!

[@markohuber2325]

the song is very catchy from 1st second and this is good in a final night with 25 songs.... when i was watching the french final show - this song was bit lacking vocally by the three women - while the male was very good, so hope they fix those vocal issues.... its great to hear breton at eurovision - love your detailed reviews - lots of love from Austria

[@gallifrey7249]

Excited for you to react to Portugal! The Eurovision winner this year for sure 😍🏆

[@TheManInBlueFlames]

Yes! This!

[@monalisa3852]

Serbia and Portugal ❤️

[@romangoeland700]

Overrated and boring, winner in your dream sorry

[@zanneoxfr3265]

@@romangoeland700 No, it's chill, it's beautifull, the voices are perfect, but yeah it won't win. Even if that song is reaaaally good

[@jean-baptistechopin1799]

Breton is not a romance language at all, it is a celtic language like scottish or welsh. It has nothing to do with french.

[@rowenn1729]

Actually french has a lot of breton words. The two languages coexist

[@sergedubois7544]

Is cool Breton music Celtic language western of france, he dancing with devil in Black Forest electro folk mysterious i think is big five this competition so amazing

[@olivierolivier6080]

Breton is celtic and has nothing to do with French which is highly roman

[@senddree]

🇫🇷👍

[@jordygarcia3119]

Homie was being corrected that Breton is Celtic but just ignored it and continued to say it was a romance language smh

[@philippedeoliveira2115]

Vive Folk Ethnic Celtic Brittany!!

[@emilatik8581]

Literally in my top 5, that uniquely ritualistic, gargoyle-like vibing and occultist entry of /Fr*æAn*Cæe/6*6*6, alongside with Poland, Norway, Romania, UK. And, the runner-up to the top 5 or for now on 6th place then that would be Azerbaijan. Greets from Denmark - And,yeah, a big no to putting my country's entry on top 5 this year, I can tell you that much. Not worth it this time. Perhaps in top 10,tbh,though..lol...🥴😂😅😉🤘👍💪🌈💎

[@alexandrab7442]

Are you going to watch and react to American song contest?

[@MyrtleP]

Right now I'm assuming copyright issues will be even more difficult to get around than with Eurovision, so I'm not sure yet if we will be able to do any reaction videos. But we will DEFINITELY be watching!

[@xuanjorl1550]

This year you have more work, I say this because of The American Song Contest which is already underway as well.😀

[@phueal]

France is definitely the most-improved of the 5 automatic qualifiers I agree, but I don't think it's fair to say all 5 are consistently weak. For UK, Germany, and Spain sure, but I think you're forgetting Italy which has been extremely strong in most recent years.

[@sylvain173]

the man i is awfully ignorant of the culture of France the girl is in the middle is more clever

[@constantine6939]

Excuse me for asking this but what is the relationship all 4 of you have? Siblings, couple, or friends?

[@MyrtleP]

Hey, no worries! Tyler and I are married. Maia is my niece (sister's daughter) and Carlena is our friend. We all share a house.

[@constantine6939]

@@MyrtleP Thanks! I thought Maia was your daughter because you look alike. 😅

That's not techno ffs, have you ever heard one single techno track?

[@alipanroosendaal9503]

They tried to link the past to the present. Interesting concept, but, for me, they failed in every way. Shame.

[@denisluz]

Several tests take place: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iH3HiHyrer-BsLs kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYazc42Olt-Dhs0 www.youtube.com/watch?v =tiIvmhXUoXk kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2bJoX99e7are9E kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYe7n6uJiLybn9U kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHO2m5d3h5x_ibc kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGjVeH6ngpZ9hbM , but there is a lack of a real label that re-explores the scores, yet, God knows if there are many of them, and that does a serious job, bringing it up to date.
