The search for the French representative in Tel Aviv begins officially tonight when the first 9 acts will perform in the debut of this season’s Destination Eurovision.

The acts competing tonight are as follows:

1. Aysat – “Comme une grande“
2. Bilal Hassani – “Roi“
3. Battista Acquaviva – “Passio“
4. Chimène Badi – “Là-haut“
5. Florina – “In The Shadow“
6. Lautner – “J’ai pas le temps“
7. Mazy – “Oulala”
8. Naestro – “Le brasier“

Those competing in semi-final 2 next week are as follows:

1. Noémie – “Ma petite famille”
2. Ugo – “Ce qui me blesse”
3. Gabriella – “On cherche encore (Never get enough)”
4. Doutson – “Sois un bon fils”

6. The Divaz – “La voix d’Aretha”
7. Emmanuel Moire – “La promesse”
8. PhilipElise – “Madame la paix”
9. Tracy De Sà – “Por aquí”

In both semi-finals and the final, there will be a jury of international experts who will be voting for their favourite songs, their points accounting for 50% of the total (while the rest being televote points). The international jury for tonight’s show was previously identified as:

• David Tserunyan, Head of the Armenian Delegation, Junior Eurovision producer and songwriter (Armenia 2017, in both ESC and JESC)
• Tali Eshkoli, Eurovision 2019 co-producer and creator/producer of Israel Calling pre-party
• Paul Jordan, aka “Dr Eurovision”, Eurovision specialist for the BBC
• Sanja Vučić, Serbian representative in Stockholm 2016, already an international juror for Eurovision Song CZ 2018
• Carla Bughalo, Eurovision 2018 co-producer and current member of the Eurovision Reference Group

These jurors will vote in tonight’s semi-final only. The audience will also receive input from the French jury consisting of French singers/songwriters (André Manoukian, Vitaa and Christophe Willem) who will give their opinion on each performance but will not vote.

You can watch the episode which begins at 21:00 CET in the ESCplus multi-window viewer here.
