The search for the French representative in Tel Aviv continues tonight when 9 acts will perform in the semi-final 2 of this season’s Destination Eurovision.
The acts competing tonight are as follows:
- Noémie – “Ma petite famille”
- Ugo – “Ce qui me blesse”
- Gabriella – “On cherche encore (Never get enough)”
- Doutson – “Sois un bon fils”
- Seemone – “Tous les deux”
- The Divaz – “La voix d’Aretha”
- Emmanuel Moire – “La promesse”
- PhilipElise – “Madame la paix”
- 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:
- Christer Björkman – Melodifestivalen and Eurovision Producer (Sweden)
- Zoe Straub – Represented Austria at Eurovision 2016 (Austria)
- Mikolas Josef – Represented Czech Republic at Eurovision 2018 (Czech Republic)
- Natia Mshvenieradze – Head of Delegation (Georgia)
- Anushik Ter-Ghukasyan – Head of Delegation (Armenia)
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.
The audience will also be treated to an appearance by last year’s Eurovision winner, Netta.
Four acts will complete the line-up for next week’s grand final. The qualifiers from last week’s semi-final are:
- Bilal Hassani – “Roi“
- Chimène Badi – “Là Haut”
- Silvàn Areg – “Le petit Nicolas”
- Aysat – “Comme une grande“
