Double entendre city there, but what do you expect in this contest? If you followed the results of the first semi (which you clearly have and haven’t just clicked the link… I know you!) you’ll know the form. Just a reminder: 9 singers, 9 songs, 18 performances.
The hopefuls all performed a favourite song before a quick chat and a chance to belt into their potential Eurovision number.
The so-called expert panel gave us a steer, but no voting (oh dear me no). That was down to the International Jury and French televoters! Put them all in the mixer, add them up and you get this….

Four qualified to the final on 26th January (Q) meaning eight songs are left fight for one remaining place.
The spread of scores in this semi final suggest this one wasn’t the stronger of the two heats, but that will count for nothing.
Have we seen a song to beat what would be the odds-on favourite Bilal Hassani?
