France 2025
Louane
maman

Not Louane denying plans to rep France in Eurovision 2025 when first rumours came out last year in October sksksksk i guess Euromelody is right after all x

oh well that’s a big pull

The song is called Maman, it just premiered with a live performance during the half time of a France vs Scotland Six Nations game.

This is absolutely walking the jury I think, not totally sold on it as an all out winner despite France and myself in my head hyping it up so much lol, but she sounded incredible so I can’t wait to hear the studio version and to see what she does with it live in the actual competition. I think Bara Bada Bastu still wins but a ballad this strong in a year with a lot of songs that feel like televote bait, I’m absolutely not ruling this out.

This was one of the most hyped Eurovision songs I can ever remember, and it doesn't fully justify the build up for me.

It's a perfectly nice ballad, but I think Switzerland is a little more my cup of tea even in terms of the French ballads. And it might steal some of those jury votes away.

France is dropping in the odds following the reveal, but I agree it's still in the mix to win if it can win the jury and come top five on the televote (4-6 feels realistic there imo).

The odds dropping is kind of dramatic, this is exactly what the song was always going to be from a Louane Eurovision entry tbh, I do think it was always going to backfire a bit with so much hype, being the last song and revealed with such fanfare in this way

Studio version is gorgeous btw, definitely loving this.

I definitely prefer the studio version. It's quite a tender song to have debuted on such a HUGE stage like that. Not that she didn't do it justice, but it will probably work better in the smaller setting of Basel and with proper staging.

During the live reveal I got caught up in the whole 'oh this isn't the nailed on Eurovision winner that we were all hoping for', but with the studio version and now knowing what to expect when I listen to it, this is really beautiful and builds really nicely throughout. Still a potential jury winner at the very least, perhaps it'll come down to the staging as to whether this or Austria takes the jury?
