France’s first Semi Final…. What to expect and the results!

Destination Eurovision

Well, the songs were recorded last week, and now it’s time to broadcast them. France 2 and TV5Monde plangoing to show the first French semi-final tonight (13th Jan). But, who are these hardy souls? I hear no one cry.

The format for tonight is a little convoluted.  Nine singers, nine songs – each performer then will sing a cover version of another song.

The juries (plural) will pick four songs for the final. The two juries will include three Francophones – one of them being Amir – and three non-Francophones (big shout out to Christer “9 points” Bjorkman).

I’m interested to see what they come up with – but whatever it is, you’ll hear about it first here!

[edit] – and as my psychic web helpers have already put the results service up – here’s the full result.
