Home straight for Slimane. The French representative is currently in the final preparations for Eurovision 2024 and he hopes to win unanimous support among European audiences with his heartbreaking romantic ballad “Mon amour”. The first images from his official rehearsal, where he presented a performance “ simple, in emotion and intensity », appealed to Eurofans. On Reddit, the official Eurovision account even wrote: “ His vocal range and the simple piano accompaniment create a kind of breathless intensity. (…) We might have held our breath for three minutes “. As a result, Slimane currently finds himself first in the jury’s votes according to the bookmakers, which leads us to believe that “Mon amour” will be the song most popular with professionals, and seventh in the general ranking behind the Croatian and Dutch favorites.

“We are getting closer to victory”
All Slimane needs is to seduce the public, always more inclined to prefer “offbeat” songs like “Cha Cha Cha” by the Finnish Käärijä last year, and then number one in viewers’ votes. Except that Slimane has just won points, or maybe even the competition! Indeed, the interpreter of “The recipe” has drawn lots for his running order for the grand final of Eurovision, which will take place this May 11 at the Malmö Arena. If its precise number has not yet been revealed, “My love” will resonate during the second half of the show. And this is very good news for Slimane: as the most diligent Eurofans remind us, most of the songs that have won Eurovision over the last ten years have been played in the middle or second part of the evening. “ France is one of the six countries I imagine winning » even admits Christer Björkman, the Swedish producer of Eurovision, to 20 minutes !

Indeed, the general observation is that the songs which appear in the first part during the finale tend more easily to be forgotten by viewers as the evening progresses, given the numerous performances which follow one another. Only Loreen managed to disprove this theory last year as she reached ninth position with “Tattoo”. But his superstar status and his hit song, already in everyone’s heads, gave him an advantage. So will Slimane finally be able to lift the trophy for France this year? In any case, Internet users are already over the moon: “ Paris 2025, here we come! “, ” We’re getting closer to victory “, ” That’s good “, ” He will finish higher than Italy “, ” The stars align for a victory for France “, ” Win for us Slimane “, ” Fantastic song, greetings from Croatia “… We wish him good luck !
