The six countries automatically qualified for the final (the Big Five, which includes France, and the host country, this year Sweden) will also perform in the semi-finals; three during the first (Germany, Sweden and the United Kingdom) and three during the second (France, Italy and Spain).

Why won’t you be able to vote?

As is tradition, voters from participating countries will only be able to vote during the semi-final in which their representative acts. And those prequalified are subject to the same voting rule. Thus, the French public will not be able to vote this Tuesday, but will make their voice heard during the second afternoon, Thursday, May 9.

France is represented this year by the singer Slimane, with his title My love. The 34-year-old artist has secured a sustained campaign throughout Europe, performing in England and Spain, each time adapting his lyrics to sing some verses in the languages ​​of Shakespeare and Cervantes. And it has surely worked for him: the bettors predict him, for the moment, a sixth place.
