The sophisticated bop we didn’t know we needed ❤
lol exactly
I'm french and I had no expectation because I don't usually watch Eurovision, but WTF ?? When I first heard the song, it give me shiver, I swear this song... is AMASING. Love her. 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷
I'm a Greek who dropped french classes and now I regret it... that song is a masterpiece
She rolls her “r” and that’s so glamorous and “old French” I adore it!!
Très sophistiqué, élégant et incontestablement français. Tellement fier de mon pays et de notre culture. Bonne chance à La Zarra. ❤❤❤❤
bonne chance à la france ❤️
Moi aussi, fière de notre représentante cette année ! Une chanson tellement french touch ! C'est l'année de la France à l'Eurovision adultes comme à l'Eurovision Junior ! 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷
It’s definitely a contender for the winner. It’s seriously brilliant
I love her, she's on my Top 3 right now. She's hypnotic.
I really love this song. I think it is one of my favourites this year! 🤩
Wow. This is the first song I have heard that I think can win. Its so French and so good.
I love her accent when she speaks. Fun Fact when Quebecers sing, they take on a very Parisian accent.
in the song she said "De vous à moi, de moi à vous, ai-je réussi à chanter, à chanter la Grande France ?" Between you and me, did i manage to sing the Great France ?...
It's a answer for all of those people saying that she is not French so she doesn't deserve to represent us.
Ooooooo I like that sass in her standing up for herself
French and quebequer belongs to the same family...we speak french both other
She is more than deserving to represent us on so many levels!
Same as a british and American when they when they sing in english
Who knew that what Eurovision 2023 needed was a disco chanson from France?
Definitely not me 😂
@@ESCTom Nor me 😂
But I'm not complaining
Wow ! Everything is so great here: song, beat, voice, lyrics, class, presence and style. Allez la France 🇫🇷
Best of the year so far, would not be surprised if this turns out to be my personal favorite!
Yea I can see this being a lot of peoples favourites because it’s different enough to stand out
So great !! 💙🤍❤️ This bring happyness !! 🎊 🎉
La Zarra my winner Eurovision song contest 2023 and my very like it so beautiful Evidemment song and give you 12 points from Greece to France🏆🏆🏆🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍🥳🥳🥳🎉🎉🎉🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
She has our support 🇬🇧 I j’adore her! I actually hope she wins! Very unique 😊
❗ Winner alert❗ The first entry this season I truly am loving!!
yea i can see some people really falling in love with this, and i can see some people picking up the phone to vote for it
Great entry from France which shot to the top of my ranking for now. I don't hear a winner also yet, but this will do really well for them.
yea and i think this is the type of song/perfomer that when they bring the stage show at the rehearsals, they will creep up the odds a bit too
this song is not just an ESC entry, it is a musical and visual experience, it Isa masterpiece of a Eurovision song. Traditional classic french chanson in style of Edith Piaf mixed up with emotional 70's Disco reminding of big hits of Dalida, with beautiful, poetic lyrics, performed by a diva looking young singer with a good voice. If this is not a winning entry, then I do not know what a winning entry is. I love it, I listen to it everyday, many times. France, good luck!!
If a song makes me move and sells me elegance in the simplest way, I'm a fan till the end. This is just a masterpiece of sound, voice and talent. She is so elegant and beautiful but just standing there, and singing in this lovely language! LOVE IT!!! I think France is well prepared for Liverpool, I just hope they can make a big deal with this amazing song and voice. Bonne chance, La France !
Magnifique
I love it, these song make me feel so proud to be french and I'm not from France I ❤ La Zarra
Tellement fier de mon pays la France et de notre culture aussi, et je vis en Australie. Bonne chance à La Zarra.
😅 you made my day!
I love it. Best entry from france in years for me. It’s kind of dramatic but in a good way xd It’s already stuck in my head ❤
"Chanso-thèque" ! Definitely agree, this is a Barbara Pravi - Monika Liu hybrid. Fully expecting La Zarra to perform the hell out of this in May.
Instead of a drop it has a swoop. Really clever and classy.
it's very cool! I really like the way it builds. Subtle but really effective. Has slight cabaret vibes to it, which i like.
Chanson ou Danson? C'est vous qui decidez...! Cool, a magnificent love child of Piaf and GaGa. Let's just hope she keeps those magnificent shoulder pads - I can never get too much shoulderography in my life ❤
she could cut someone with those shoulders
Quality !!! Bravo la France !
My favourite so far! I always love France! I felt last year's was robbed. It was so amazing but I think this will do really well
So powerful song. Just wow.
I really love this song and her performance. I am really surprised she isn't in the top 10.
I love it, She has got a very big voice, hope she can deliver live , I am sure she will. 😘😘❤️
Une vraie belle chanson, avec une intro, un couplet, un refrain, un pont.
Une magnifique artiste. Une sublime interprétation moderne et rythmée.
En formulant l'espoir d'avoir le même Son le soir de l'Eurovision...
Queen La Zarra, OBVIOUSLY! Évidemment...
I love it. A great choice for France this year. It weirdly reminded me of like a French great gatsby but I’m sooo into it
You killed me when you said you were the only person in Europe who loved Twin Twin with their Moustache !!
it gets so much hate. i absolutely loved it
That's a TOP 5 for sureee man
Although it doesn't knock my socks off like Spain does, I feel France deserves a good result with this, It's subtle and sensual French disco, very classy and stylish, really quirky and very French. She seems very charismatic too.
yea tbh thats all you can really ask for in a ESC entry, and especially the Big 5
Very iconic entry and also different, if Barbara Pravi did well. This could be sure a French dark horse even maybe a winner.
This year, only two countries get the right song...Spain and France...mixing quality, traditional sounds/modern ones and languages used in the countries...so, bravo ladies....12 points for Spain and France !!!!
I'm in love with this one, it jumped straight into my top 1. At this point only Edgar Allan Poe, Samo mi se spava or Cha cha can take that spot i guess.
Alert winner 🥰💯
If we gonna win this year, Paris will welcome in 2024 the Olympic Games AND Eurovision !!! I CAN’T WAIT FOR THIS TO HAPPEN ! 🇫🇷🇫🇷❤️❤️😭😭😭
omg the olympics / eurovision / junior eurovision triple !!!
@@ESCTom OMG I forgot the junior Eurovision ! 💀😂😭😭
The 70's disco vibe seems very deliberate, as there is a definite 70's revival happening in French pop music at the moment, with Juliette Armanet and Clara Luciani being clear examples of this.
thank you for loving my language !
we hated esc france 2014 ! we thought Twin Twin deserved their last place
La Zarra is a French speaking Canadian !
she doesn't personally grab me ! she can sing !
I love the staging of the MV. I loved the initial vibe. I love the visual styling. I prefer the ballad aspect over the dance part. I wanted a song that would show off her voice more, this song feels very one note in terms of vocals, apart from the one belt at the end of the bridge (but even that felt like she pulled out early).
well tbh i think it would be really clever of them to get her to hold back vocally and give a more toned down version here, and then in the actual final, suddenly let rip some big massive votes that noone was expecting and build up a surprise momentum when it matters most
@@ESCTom if that's true I would love that
it's great / this is a studio vocal clearly, I think if she delivers a powerhouse live vocal the whole thing will elevate! it's super fun / dramatic / french / disco...a great addition to this years selection / sort of in a similar vein to Lithuania last year (I think its better than last years, Fuhlen tbh I liked it but tbh was a bit amateur)
yea i totally agree, and i think its a very clever strategy. dont show all your cards, save some vocal flourishes or surprised for the final in order to have the momentum at the right time
She's just amazing in her "live" performances, just search "Tu t'en iras" live on CZcams.
this song is extraordinary, a long time ago when France did not see themselves winning but this is victory assured. There are references in this French song from all sides with this disco side à la Dalida and its disco title let me dance. brief attention Eurovision 2023 here is France. sorry for my English .🇨🇵🐓🇨🇵🐓
i dont think France will win with this, and i dont think theyd want to considering that they already have to host JESC 😂
But i am still hoping and wishing that this will do very well 🥰
Love your shirt! Guatemala power! Hope you had a great time here.
i did, Guatemala is so beautiful!!! 😍🇬🇹
It's Daft Punk meets Chanson. It will get my vote though.
as a Brazilian, it seems to me that this year the songs are not very captivating. Except, France and Spain seem very strong to me, and I'm waiting for Mimicat from Portugal to compose this selection of favourites. About La Zarra, this woman is phenomenal, the moment. If last year we had Chanel, this year's La Zarra. 🇧🇷🇨🇵🇵🇹🇪🇦
Wonderfull amazing La Zarra winner 2023 la France !!!!🇲🇫🇲🇫🇲🇫🇲🇫🇲🇫🇲🇫🇲🇫🇲🇫
I really, really enjoy this and I hope it does well in Liverpool! Alvan and Ahez were absolutely robbed last year and I just hope that doesn't repeat itself with La Zarra!
i still dont know what happened to CVQD. but i do feel there was a slight element of going for something safer this year after Fulenn.
I loved Twin Twin too. I remember being appalled by it coming last!
I’m also appalled by so many reactors of all nationalities pronouncing “Évidement”, so badly. Did no one learn French at school.
Definitely subscribing!
hahah thank you, hopefully i said it mostly correct 😅
@@ESCTom I think so. Not that I’m an expert…but I wince when someone pronounces a “hard t” at the end! 😂
thank you for your comments, i'm french .....et j'espère que la Zarra soit la première .Et elle représente la langue française, ce qui me semble normal pour l'eurovision de représenter la langue de son pays
I adore Fulenn, and I prefer it to this, but this isn't bad either. It's great to see that France hasn't retreated into a formulaic, safe chanson turtle shell after placing so low with the first stroll out of their comfort zone.
The comparison to Monika Liu's vibe is spot on. I quite like this.
yea and theres so much about this that makes sense. Its "safer" than Fulenn, but not Tom Leeb safe. its still got character and a spirit in it, which still feeling like a safe pair of hands
This one is going to be a slow burner I will really like it I just need time
This going to end up top 10 for sure and maybe top 3.
TWIN TWIN WAS ALSO MY NO. 1!
Definitely in the top 5 Eurovision robberies ever 😭
@@ESCTom one positive is it coming last and being seen as a robbery has kept it relevant amongst fans
See you next year in paris 🥳
Olympics AND Eurovision 😂
@@ESCTom Oh yes 😂 The year of France
I'm voting for this for sure.
French disco is the way forwards. Enjoyed it on first listen.
I'm curious to see what they'll do with the staging. ☺
Last time we won was in 1977, in the UK... 👀
i think the ideas that they have in that music video are great. i think they could completely cut out the audience and have it just her - like shes doing a private show for the cameras
@@ESCTom True, it'd stand out, feel chic and intimate.
@@ESCTom, J'espère qu'il n'y aura pas de danseurs. Tout les regards doivent se concentrer sur elle, sa plastique, sa voix, son attitude.
As someone who didn't care for Barbra Pravi's 'Voila', my heart sank when you likened this to that.
Then it played and I actually don't mind it! It's probably my favourite so far of all the songs that have been released, although the Belgian song is really growing on me!
haha yea i saw the belgian song was your number 1, i filmed my reaction to that but i keep forgetting to edit.
im glad to see this has been received so well, its already 3rd in the community!
@@ESCTom it'll naturally rise in the rankings too!
Just three or so songs left to reveal this month, then the rest follow next month. I'm hoping and praying we get that one song that really blows me away. Still waiting.
well i think we'll get some suprise drops too like we did with Australia.
it makes sense to pick a random day and drop on your own, rather than on the same day as someone else and have to directly compete with them for attention and compete with their song
Very french... 70s disco memories... Not a winner for me but pretty decent ...
Best song so far. She s iconic
La Zarra fais toujours une version radio dansante, funky rap avec son phrasé très 60. En live une version acoustique piano voix
About C'est vous qui décidez : I don't think this song would have a chance of winning it... It's perceived abroad as very french but to us, it's on the same level as mimes and berets. France Télévisions seems to think that this would do well for them (they're probably right) so asking people for their opinion would not really work.
Disco is very strong atm though, but in a very different, much more energetic way: check Juliette Armanet - "Le dernier jour du disco" for a good example.
from what ive heard as well, they didnt want to spend the money on CVQD when they just won junior ESC again
I like the song and I like the style, yet I'm missing a climatic moment in the song. It's a tad too tame.
Tu as raison depuis Amir la France s' investie.on aime l'Eurovision m depuis quelques années on s' investie
oui, c'est clair que recemment France avait amélioré leur niveau des chansons. J'adore ça!
The song sounds great but I’m very conscious that we are looking at a video and not a live performance. The staging is great . She has presence but at the end of the day, can she sing it and deliver it live? If she can then I agree with everything you say but the live here is crucial. That’s the difference between her song and Barbara Praví where we had seen her perform Voila live at CVQD and could be more certain of the whole package. (Which is a bit like Sam Ryder last year. I really only felt confident when it arrived on stage in Turin)
Re: Cest Vous Qui Decidez- I wonder if the reason she was internally selected 10:52 was because she expressed an interest. She’s an international artist and was an obvious choice so it was better to select her rather than put it to a public vote and risk the public choosing to pass it over. Hopefully CVQD will be back next year. ( I wonder if Australia are doing the same thing too.)
i think she'll be fine live. especially if she doesnt have to move like in the video
re: CVQD, i heard that they didnt want to spend on it after winning JESC. and La Zarra is a safe pair of hands and its much cheaper to send her
@@ESCTom same same
I’ve now watched a video on here of her singing live. She can do this. I see another good year in France’s future peut-être?
La raison évoquée serait due à un coup de foudre pour l'artiste qui représente tout ce que le comité français attendait humainement d'une part et musicalement bien sûr. "C'est vous qui décidez" n'est pas abandonné juste que semble t'il cette année c'était une telle évidence pour eux d'envoyer la Zarra, que y'avait pas besoin de faire décider le public. C'est la version donnée, après je ne sais pas si c'est l'unique raison. Pour le live, autant j'ai pu trembler pour nos représentants (certains) autant là, comme pour Barbara Pravi, je pense sans trop me tromper que le live sera au moins aussi bien. Ce sont des chanteuses acharnées qui ont des capacités vocables indéniables. J'aimerais que rien ne soit modifié dans sa prestation, la tenue, ses mouvements, je trouve que tout est bien maîtrisé déjà. La Zarra a sorti un titre "tu t'en iras" qui a très bien marché en France. Je ne la connais pas plus que ça, c'est aussi une découverte pour moi, une classe et un charisme qui fait mouche. Wait ans sée ☺️
The chorus is giving Mommy Freyr
Hahaha I love it, it's everything Pravi wasn't
From what I heard (don’t know if it’s true) they couldn’t have their National final as now they have to organize Junior Eurovision. Too much money and the French government cut their funding this year.
ok yea that makes sense 🙏🏻
Twin twin OMG........................... ;-)))
My number 2 in 2014 😭
the hat: a bibi
France is legit always good, name a bad entry from them
You can't
I like this one a lot
The best in me XD
@@im3gine Is that "bad" tho? 100% a cute song that dose have a direction and production quality
the best in me was definitely not the best of france 😭
@@vvvgeorgevvv8201 yeah, it was bad. Last place in my ranking in 2020.
Finalement evidemment... Douze points!
Maybe france will be back to the top-10! don't see it winning tho, doesn't give me that eurovision winner vibe.
Nah I’m not getting winner either. But after 24th last year, it’s definitely going to do better than that
The studio version is borderline mid for me, but I think I'll love the live performance.
It feels too manufactured to me. Should look good on stage, but I don't see this being a strong televote contender.
i felt the same about voila and it really surprised me. i think this will appeal to an older audience, a demographic which is pretty much ignored at Eurovision generally
you should let people hear the song
They can watch the music video for that
I dont love it,but its a good song🤩👍
I kinda hate french entries when everyone likes them but I loved 2022 and it ended up low. I kinda hate france and Italy this year, too overhyped for me
Ever trying just liking or not liking stuff instead of hating or loving a simple song?
You hate ? Are you at war against you ?
Music is about emotion, so that they use love and hate is perfectly understandable. Give them a break
@@williamdfr1715 Finally person who understand how passion and art works.
@@williamdfr1715 “he hates “its not about music. It s about French entries. He hates them. Wow. That’s special. Did he lost his head during French Revolution so that he had problem with it ?
This one doesn't do it for me. The canned orchestra samples make it sound a bit cheaper and there is also just too much. Moments aren't allowed to linger and breath, every second has been filled by all these little flourishes that in the end don't really add anything. Makes the song feel very rushed to me. I'm sure she can bring it live, she looks confident and charismatic. I just wish for the song they would've remembered less is more.
i feel like this is an appetiser for the actual performance. shes pretty restrained in the vocal here and she could go for a lot more in the live show.
Sorry but this shouts last place
Lol, it doesn't in any way. This is head and shoulders above most of the songs we have this year
id be massively shocked if this was even bottom 5, let alone last. theres definitely some weak stuff which is going to make it through the semis and come last instead of this
sorry but its too generic and flat for me. france failed big time.
For YOU, most people are loving it and that's what matters
OMG! This song is so...
Boring :p
Give it a couple more listens. The last 30 seconds are amazing
@@ESCTom I will :)
France this year’s not special!
