1.

de Soa: 

“It's surely the song I would send to Eurovision because it seems to me to have the most solid profile.

The production of the piece is of quality and there is enough to make a convincing staging.

As an American Eurovision blogger, I always hope to see rap well represented on the contest stage.

And this song brings it out very well.

I'm not a big fan of "message" songs at Eurovision because it has been seen and reviewed and it may seem trivial.

But this song is a successful message song.

If the duo manages to find the right choreography and does not hit the wrong note, the top 5 is within reach.

from Alvan & Ahez: 

“It's an ethnic song with modern accents.

It's precisely the kind of track that many fans hope a country like France sends to Eurovision.

The dancing part gives it a modern and accessible side.

Ethnic elements are always welcome and expected on the contest stage.

You have to work well on the visual and completely rethink the styling.

by Pauline Chagne:

It fits perfectly with the current trend observed in the charts: the nostalgia for the pop hits of the 1980s. With a perfectly thought out staging and a very French styling, it could very well make it on stage and stay in the memory.

“It's a song that connects traditional Breton sounds and modern sounds.

She makes me want to go to a party in the woods and dance there until dawn.

It would also be a good opportunity to make French people aware of the fact that regional languages ​​are still alive and foreigners of the fact that there is not only the French language in France »

“I must say that any song reminiscent of the 1980s will be ranked high in my top.

has a melody that makes it special and it stays in the lead.

With a good staging, France would get an excellent result.

It's a separate song.

I love electro sounds.

de Saam: 

"The background of this song moves me: the text speaks of the importance of not letting our illusions or our interior last die and this is something that we should not forget.

The composition is full of strength and the melody is exquisite.

The harmonies of both artists are as solid as their solos and similar live to the studio version.

I can already imagine them on the Eurovision stage.

The moving message that the song delivers is well transmitted and, during their performance, we feel a connection with the two singers.

»

2.

from Alvan & Ahez:

“The song starts strong, with hypnotic vocals reminiscent of those of the group Tanxugueiras who participated in the Benidorm Festival, the Spanish selection for Eurovision, a few weeks ago.

The chorus has everything to hit the dance floors, it's impossible not to get up to wiggle to the rhythm of the music.

This song has great potential to win over a French audience, then a wider audience at Eurovision in Turin.
