It seems France is going for a national final. And if that's true, here we have the first entrant for their national final:
It's Anne Marie David! The woman who won 1973 and came third in 1979 is trying again! This time with a good old fashioned French ballad called Je Manque De Toi!

How old is she now? 60? Go the oldies

She's 60 now, yes, but still going strong. I hope she gets to represent France.

She won once with Luxembourg...
but Spain deserve to win that night!(became Worldwide hit)

Ok no Anne Marie David, that was confirmed a few days ago.

However, France did select their entrant!
It's 34 year old Amandine Bourgeouis, who won Nouvelle Star in 2008!
Below you can see one of her old singles.

would have been nice if she had been picked instead

A small snippet of the French entry seems to be available now. You can hear it by clicking here. It's a video of Amandine in the studio and it's said to be part of 'L'Enfer Et Moi'. What do we think?

I'm not sure but I think I like that little bit. We'll see.

Last night I said I was pissed off that we didn't hear anything from France yet. They must've heard me, I guess?

Tomorrow, 10am CET, the song will be available on Spotify.

Not 10am in the end, it was 1pm when they put it on Spotify and made it available to the French only. Thanks to some listener, it's now on YouTube!

Well, not quite what I had expected. What is with eurovision 2013? It's so flat. Don't like it

don't like the song, pardon

I can't say I dislike it. I actually like it, but it just plods along for two minutes and then she seems to think: let's bring a little life to this. Good attempt, could've been amazing though.

i will not remember this one within all the other entries. the melody isn't catchy enough and it sounds very monotonous. i also don't like rough voices. could be one reason why i have Norway and Malta as my favourites so far

I like it too, the plodding is part of the genre the song is suposed to be: a bit jazzy in the beginning and a little explosion in the end.

I'm also glad France goes with a song in French again.

It's very average for me. For half of the song, I expect the music to go 'somewhere'. but it doesn't. Plus I don't particularly like her voice, it's not pleasant to my ears. Maybe a good staging will help...although, when did the French have a good staging? Prediction: if juries vote for it, somewhere mid-table. If not...hello bottom.

I usually like French entries, but this does nothing for me.

4th for me so far
