But with retrospect, Louane claims to be “quite proud” of his performance. “At that time, it is certain that it was not easy. But seventh, it is not a bad place, it is also my bearer of figures,” said the artist.

“For me and for my mother, that was what I had to do”
When asked about the reasons that would explain their seventh place in the Classification of Eurovision and the 50 points received by the public, Louane trusts not really knowing what or did not play in his favor during the final of the competition.

“Maybe that was not what I had to do for the rest of the world, but for me, for my life and for my mother, that was what I had to do,” he continues.
However, the singer is delighted with all the support received by her French fans after her performance. “I cried much more at that time than at the time of the points. I cried with joy to see how much people had behind me,” he says. “It is a human warmth that I did not expect at all.”
Louane also reveals that she could count on her daughter Esmae: “She told me:” Mom, did not earn, but you sang super good and still brought drinks at home, so I’m happy. “
“Open me on international doors”

“We have returned to the viral world Top 10. The tour is sold very well, the transmissions are a dinguería,” adds the artist.
Faced with this fashion, Louane says that their teams even had to add several additional dates to their tour in Europe at the last minute to meet demand.
And the rest promises to be even more beautiful for the singer who is launched this Friday, May 23, a duo with the American artist Joe Jonas and who is about to start his “only tour” tour next September. “This is much more than anything I can imagine.
