To designate the artist and the song that will represent France at Eurovision 2021 in May, France 2 will soon broadcast a selection program:
Eurovision France, it's up to you
.
Twelve songs were selected.
Solo artists, duets, trio: seventeen artists will be there.
Who will defend the French chances in the Eurovision final on May 22?
"It's you who decide", responds France 2 which will soon broadcast a selection program, presented by Stéphane Bern and Laurence Boccolini, during which the public will have a say.
Here is what you need to know.
The candidates
Twelve songs were selected by the French delegation from among the 700 proposals it says it has received.
Seventeen singers are therefore part of the adventure: eight solo artists, three duets and a trio.
We had presented the candidates and their respective songs in detail here.
The twelve titles vying are eclectic, ranging from typical French ballad (
That
Barbara Pravi,
Provided that loves me
Juliette Moraine) to electro (
Love Crazy
Pony X) and dancehall sounds (
Magic
LMK ) or pop (
Can you tell me?
from June 21 the duo,
We ate the sun
of Cephaz,
Paris tells me
about Ali…) and rock (
Bah not
from the Philippine).
The faithful of
The Voice
will notably find Casanova (

candidates in 2018 and 2020. With
Maeva
, the Amui trio will pay tribute to French Polynesia, while the Andriamad duo mixes in
Hallelujah
from "tropical" sounds, according to his biography, to electro.
The rules
The designation of the winning song will take place in two stages.
During the first round, the seven songs (out of the twelve) which received the most votes from the public, will qualify for the next stage.
The jury will select a song among the five non-qualifiers.
Eight songs will therefore compete in the second round of voting.
The votes of the viewers will count for 50% and those of the jurors for 50% also in order to elect the artist, the duo or the trio which will represent France at Eurovision.
The members of the jury
The jury will be chaired by singer Amir, who represented France at Eurovision Song Contest in 2016. At his side, it will be necessary to reckon with the Dutchman Duncan Laurence, last winner of the competition, Marie Myriam, last winner for France, as well as Natasha St Pier, who defended the French chances in 2001. Personalities fans of the competition were also invited: the couturier Jean Paul Gaultier, as well as the actors Agustin Galiana and Michèle Bernier.
André Manoukian, who commented on the semi-finals of the competition in 2018, Elodie Gossuin, who has repeatedly announced the points of the French jury, and Chimène Badi, candidate for
Destination Eurovision
in 2019 complete this jury.
It has also been announced that Jean Paul Gaultier will dress the winning artist (s) for Eurovision.
The decor
Eurovision France, you decide it
should take place in the region.
But, due to the health situation, the production chose to fall back on a TV studio in Paris.
The decor will consist in particular of a circular stage.
The staging will not necessarily be those that will be selected for the competition but Alexandra Redde-Amiel, head of the French delegation and director of entertainment for France Teles, announces that they will be "ambitious".
The program will take place in public, if the health situation permits.
