Sometimes I think we should choose a song that I hate, maybe then we would achieve a great result  There were no good French songs in 2017-2018 in my opinion so Ben and I chose "J'en suis là" for lack of  anything better. I did want to choose another song from Slimane which is more mainstream, and even though I like it less than the one we chose, I'm starting to think that maybe it would have been a less bold, but better choice.

I already know which song I want to represent us for the Open 2018 so I hope it will be liked  

I'm surprise that France haven't more points... i gave 1 point to france in my personal ranking and France finished only 28th in the italian ranking

That thought to choose the songs I didn't like did cross my mind... But looking for the songs for Annual is more difficult. I often ended up irritated with the songs' quality (which make me never listened for the past 5 years) and forgot what to do

 

Open Edition is much easier since I usually have 4-5 songs in my head.

 

Yes, it's easier to choose a song for the Open but at the same time you have more choices and it makes it harder in the end

Another unfair thing is that there are a lot of good Belgian artists nowadays who sing in French but obviously I can't use their songs so it's frustrating  Why are French singers so bad compared to the Belgian ones?

I know it's no consolation, but France's song was a revelation for me... initially I didn't expect it to contend, but it ended being my first reserve... I think the strongest point of the song was Slimane's powerful interpretation and his voice.

If you can't decide or run out of ideas, I can give some advice

Weren't you the one last year who wanted to have French songs from the 60's-70s in the contest?  

But don't worry (or do worry idk ), I have an idea for this year's Open

You have to decide what you want to do with the competition

1) pick a catchy song that has better chance but you don't like

2) choose a song you love and give it the chance to be spread in the world in countries where it hans't arrived yet

 

We use always the second option: sometimes we are lucky like (maybe) this time, sometimes it's a failure like last year with Samarcanda a beautiful song that very few liked but even when it goes wrong we are happy because we are proud of our song

Yes, please  Obviously, you don't need to go with something completely outsider-ish like Evariste's Connais tu l'animal qui inventa le calcul integral  

But Serge Gainsbourg will do the work Or anything similar...
