A chorus, mainly. But this one just grabbed me in a way no other French song has in years.Eurovision Apocalypsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166882275734355360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6898764338466197386.post-40147562686774707862020-12-16T19:07:14.298-08:002020-12-16T19:07:14.298-08:00Also... the clear musical reference to Piaf's ...Also... the clear musical reference to Piaf's Padam Padam is so smart.

I wasn't really sold on it from the get-go as I hoped I would be, but she sneakily lured me and pulled me and caught me by the end of the song. This will be a polarizing one. If selected, it will either do really well or completely bomb, and I will say to the same extent that Salvador Sobral could have easily failed. Both entries actually have many similarities. Both songs are inherently of their own country and culture, both are incredibly personal, yet undeniably universal, both need no explanation as to what is going on because as you said, it's clear. Both have a sense of old-school nostalgia and familiarity without being cliched, contrived or gimmicky. Both performers are completely connected to the lyrics of the songs... My one problem with this song (and it CAN be fixed if selected with a revamp and slight reworking) is that as opposed to Amar Pelos Dois, it's not as well structured within the three-minute constraint. It feels as if it needed another 30-ish seconds. But as I said, easily fixed. I actually did find a few songs within the selection that I either liked, respected or appreciated but this one would be a bold choice that just might pay great dividends...Ido Gonenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01116374933798916224noreply@blogger.com
