As the date of the Junior Eurovision approaches, the identity of the candidate who will represent France has finally been revealed: it is Titouan, a 14-year-old multi-instrumentalist from Quimper, who sings a song called Like this, like thatThe young man, who grew up in a music-loving family, will participate in the talent show with this title, which will be available this Wednesday, September 18 at 6 p.m. on all streaming platforms, according to The Parisian. It is therefore on November 16 that we will be able to discover his interpretation of this piece, filmed from Madrid. He will thus succeed Zoé Clauzure, who won the competition last year with her title Heart. The Junior Eurovision being a competition during which France almost systematically shines, it represents a major challenge for the young singer.
This will not be Titouan’s first participation in a television show, however, as he has already been seen in The Voice Kids on TF1 in 2022, in Julien Doré’s team, then in Dream Team: the next generation of starswhich he won with Matt Pokora’s team. Good news for all those who want to support Titouan during this 22nd edition of the competition reserved for 9-14 year olds next November: it is possible to vote for your own country in the Junior Eurovision, unlike the adult version.
Junior Eurovision: a previous edition won by Zoé Clauzure
Young Titouan will therefore take over, after the excellent performance of Zoé Clauzure in Nice in 2023, who won the competition hands down. This event marked the second consecutive victory for France. France is also the most rewarded country at the Junior Eurovision since it has won three times and has never left the Top 5. Scores that we hope to see repeated for the adult version, which will take place on May 13, 15 and 17 in Switzerland.
