It is this Saturday, May 9, 2024 that the Eurovision 2024 contest will be held. For this new edition, the festivities will be held in Malmö, Sweden having won the musical competition last year.
If viewers will discover the performances of singers from each country this Saturday, the semi-final was held this Tuesday, May 7, 2024 in front of a jury of professionals and in front of the delegations from each country who have already been able to cast their votes.
Slimane tipped to win Eurovision 2024?
At the end of this semi-final, Christer Björkman, the producer of the show gave his opinion on Slimane who is representing us this year. “ France is one of the six countries I imagine winning » he joyfully launched in the columns of 20 Minutes.
“I‘love My love! But I always like the songs proposed by France, I am a Francophile » he then added, referring to Slimane’s song. “ It would be great if France won, it’s been so long since you won the competition…“. It is true that France has not won Eurovision since 1977.
Eurovision 2024: Italy makes a huge mistake regarding the votes
As we explained to you, the first semi-final was held on May 7. If the countries have already chosen to whom they will give points or not, it is normally during the final that they reveal the details of this allocation.
Against all odds, Italy revealed live a few hours ago the results of its televotingthus committing a big mistake because these votes must remain secret in order not to influence other countries but also to maintain suspense in the heads of the candidates.
We thus discover that Italy has decided to give more than 39% of its votes to Israel… and none for France.
“We won’t be able to win, it costs too much…”
The defeat of Slimane be a foregone conclusion? According to singer François Valéry, France will lose in the competition again this year.
“ He won’t win because we can’t win, It’s expensive. We could have won Eurovision more than once already » he assured this Tuesday, May 7, 2024 on the set of Jordan de Luxe.
Words which echo those of Cyril Hanouna who also said: “We can’t win because it’s very complicated. When I hosted with Stéphane Bern, the people at the channel told me that the ideal was to finish second or third because we are in the race until the end“.
And to add: “ Finishing first is a disaster because we have to organize the following year and it costs a lot of money. The show in Russia where I went cost 32 million euros to make. If we do that here, we close everything, there is no more Nagui, no more broadcast“.
