First Time Reaction FRANCE Grand Final 2022 and M/V! | Dereck Reacts

[@evasiondreams3376]

Normally, when France is the last, I agree, but this one is definitely the most underrated song of all Eurovision history. Shocked with the results! France is condamned to send Piaf's boring remakes as this is apparently what people love to listen to at home.

[@linn469]

@@AnywhereMiami did you hurt yourself reaching that hard?

[@jpc7118]

everyone may have their own tastes... Personally I dislike this song and I find its ranking not that abnormal... The choice of the language which wasn't truly linked with the music style made an explosive song... It crashed in flames, it was predictable for many addictive other reasons too.

[@medusa_slayer]

Yes, sadly 😔

[@alexisgoiset6215]

France only finished last once in 2014. They never get 0 points, they always got points.

I think the juries votes didn’t helped them. Im surprised since this song is well produced IMO. At least it got some points from televotes later on

[@antaryjczyk]

This deserved waaaaaaaaay more points that it got. One of my favourite songs of the year. So different from other French entries

[@fabs8498]

Remember Sébastien Tellier. He was funny for the sweet party with a song he composed nd produced by one of the daft punk. Sebastien Tellier is a great composer with a lot of humour.

[@begaydocrime5719]

So! Time for me to be a nerd! The lyrics are in breton (my language) and refer to a legend of a woman who wanted to pick a husband who could dance with her all night without being exhausted and at the end of the night the only one who could keep up was the devil, and she was dragged to hell still dancing. Obviously it was kind of a moral "don't go dancing and have fun" story from like CENTURIES ago but they took that story and made it into a powerful revendication ("I'm dancing with the devil and so what?"). It's a really good song and a clever nod to breton culture

[@wionvard]

it's cool that Breton has been highlighted in the same way as Corsican or Catalan, it shows the diversity of France, not something focused on Paris.🇫🇷 Vraiment dommage pour son classement j’ai l’impression que tt le monde aime mais bon l’eurovision est un peut plus géopolitique qu’un concours musical.

The difference is that Barbara Pravi has a real powerful voice. These guys can't sing. They sound out of breath for the whole song.

[@arkasonus7678]

Rien d'étonnant. Piaf reste l'icône de la chanson française à l'étranger, aujourd'hui encore. Lors de mes voyages, je vais dans les magasins de musique pour voir ce qui se fait localement mais aussi pour voir ce qui transpire de la musique française. Piaf est systématiquement en tête de gondole. C'est au-delà de la musique, c'est une carte postale de la France.

The fact that they did not make it to top 5 is beyond understanding. They were just brilliant too bad ESC voters disagreed 🌿👌🏼🌿 This was a pure masterpiece

[@linn469]

I think unfortunately this masterpiece was hurt by the running order coming so early, before the main favorites Spain and Italy and right after Switzerland which many found very boring. Also the fact that Ukraine had a similar vibe with the modern and cultural music combined I think this one was just kind of forgotten. This was never going to be a jury favorite so they needed the televote which is what a later running order and modern + ethnic usually gets you, I think they were just unlucky tbh which is sad because I'd love to see more of this type of music from France but I doubt we will now :/

[@Nikki-rx8ri]

Still absolutely love this song, I'm really sad to see how little points they got.

Le vol de l’année

[@Kapok-Bush]

Like a lot of people who supported this song strongly I still didn't understand what happened to see this entry reach such a bad ranking at the Eurovision Grand Finale despite its obvious artistic quality. I'm French but i truly try to stay as objective as possible. I think my country sent this year another good song that was completely different from Barbara Pravi's one in 2021. It was so unconventional in many ways. However, originality is always highly risky. Either it is well-accepted and paid careful supportive attention, either it is fully rejected. No half nor balance in the audience's reaction in such a context. Obviously, the negative scenario took place. Not fair of course but... that's life. "Fulenn" quickly created radical split in the audience: no one stayed neutral when hearing this song. Whereas some people strongly disliked the French entry thousands of fans appeared worldwide fast though. But most of them couldn't vote during the Finale because they lived in some non-European countries & out of Australia. Alvan the young man who's the boss & the artistic leader of the band has to know that he now has numerous fans all around the world thanks to Spotify where the song has been listened to & downloaded by thousands of people. The music project Alvan & Ahez has got strong potential that was seen by fans. I would suggest that the band performs live on stage or at TV in Asia, South America, Australia, New Zealand & Africa (southern part) for instance. "Fulenn" has to be released as a single in my opinion and be detached from the Eurovision context in which it wasn't acknowledged as it deserved. This song is a true banger & has full potential to become a smash hit. Personally, I'd like to see an extended 4 or 5 minute version be released. After such a failure at Eurovision I'm afraid of seeing France send a new cliché "French" song (i.e. ballad with poor beat) next year.

[@elenapanisi1557]

Bonjour je suis française je tiens a vous dire que la chanson est en breton qui est une ancienne langues parlé en France et donc française. En France il y a encore différentes langues parlé actuellement. Comme exemple moi je viens du nord-est de la France à côté de l'Alsace, et je peut vous dire qu'on y parle une autre langue qui s'appelle le l'alsacien . Chaque région de France a ses propres histoires et donc certaines on des langues différentes et malgré tous cela reste des langues françaises qui font parti de l'histoire de la France. Cette chanson est fait en breton qui viens de la région de Bretagne de la France du nord ouest6Voilà les petites informations j'espère que cela vous a permis de comprendre l'origine de la langue de la chanson 😉

@@AnywhereMiami Breton is not an official language, it's a regional language of France. It's not written in french constitution that Breton, Basque (my origins) nor Occitan are official languages of the french Republic. They are locally authorised languages, like other foreign language. But all formal and official things/papers are in french only. The double script on road signs is the best proof of it. it may be written in local/regional language but it MUST at least written in french.
