“If you are proud of you Louane, you have gathered France as we like.” Are these words from the French delegation head cure the singer’s disappointment? In a statement published this Sunday, May 18, Alexandra Redde-Amiel addressed her the day after the 69th Edition of Eurovision in Basel in Switzerland.
“Nothing will take pride”
Despite his strong performance, Louane arrived only seventh in the competition contest with his song “Maman”. A moving piece and co-written personnel, history of his own life and addressed to his own mother who died of cancer in 2014. Alexandra Redde-Amiel expressed himself as follows:
We are very proud and nothing can eliminate that. Sometimes we don’t understand everything. Eurovision is a whirlwind, sometimes unpredictable and surprising mechanics. Even if we are, of course, disappointed, nothing will take the pride of this immense work with an immense artist.
The 28 -year -old singer has not yet reacted to this result. An unusual election: custom wants the French candidate for journalists at the end of the competition. Louane returned directly to the hotel along with her fiance and her sister. “It won’t react tonight,” said Ludovic Huel, spokesman for the French delegation. We need (…) be among us. “
7.8 million viewers ahead of Louane
In the images of the competition, we see that the French delegation breaks down when the results were announced. Louane, prescribed in third place by the betting corridors, only collected 50 points of the public vote, with 50% of the final grade. He bowed to the great winner of the Austrian classification JJ, followed by Israel and Estonia.
Alexandra Redde-Amiel wanted to thank the entire delegation, the fans who moved and the 5.7 million viewers (they reached a maximum of 7.8 million at the time of the Louane service) who accompanied Eurovision. A “national fervor” praised the head of the delegation.
He carried our colors high, with a sincere power, a raw emotion, a masterful performance that made European and French minds “
Louane is not the first singer to refuse to communicate after his performance. In 2009, Patricia Kaas, reached 8, also sold out in the year. It should be said that Eurovision was a personal problem for the young woman who trusted Parisino’s words to the words: “He repeated me thousands of times: ‘One day, Eurovision will do'” The singer must resume the train for Paris this Sunday. Perhaps she will deny a simple message on social networks to her fans.
