The French national final will take place on Saturday 5th March. Who will step into the footsteps of Barbara Pravi?

Last year France was very close to win the ESC. The fact that Barbara Pravi could achieve a brilliant second place with the extraordinary performance and song “Voilá” the contest was able to become popular again. The outcome is that good music will be heard and awarded. France has introduced the national finals again and it’s getting more popular every year. And it’s great to see a huge interest and variety of entries.

Therefore it will be no exception this year to host another national final called "C'est Vous Qui Décidez" – it’s you who decides. The show will be broadcasted by France 2 and TV5 Monde via live stream on Saturday, 5th March 21.10 CET.

Laurence Boccolini and Stéphane Bern will be the hosts for the night. There will be a mix of 50% jury voting (10 members) and 50% public vote to determine the representative for France in Turin.

These are the twelve French acts in alphabetical order:

1. Alvan & Ahez – “Fulenn” 
2. Cyprien Zeni – “Ma famille” 
3. Elia – “Téléphone" 
4. Elliott – “La tempête” 
5. Hélène in Paris – “Paris mon amour”
6. Joan – “Madame” 
7. Joanna – “Navigateure” 
8. Julia – “Chut” 
9. Marius – “Les chansons d’amour” 
10. Pauline Chagne – “Nuit Pauline” 
11. Saam – “Il est où?” 
12. SOA – “Seule” 

• You can watch the French final at 21.10 CET
