It’s a fiasco, and a beautiful one. Only sixteenth out of 26, singer La Zarra came a long way from Eurovision winner Loreen on Saturday night. Above all, his attitude during the program was far from unanimous. It is above all her controversial gesture, where she seems to give the middle finger to the public, which has made people talk. Even if the Canadian denied and tried to justify herself, the damage was done. And within the French delegation, things swayed quite a bit the day following this pitiful performance.
In an inflammatory article published by The Parisian, La Zarra takes it for its rank. In addition to his disappointing ranking, we point out above all the attitude of the interpreter of Obviously and his lack of fair play. “France must position itself in this competition on elegance and humility, like Patricia Kaas or Barbara Pravi in the past. When we go crazy, we take one…”, regrets a specialist in the event.
Recall that the singer had been exceptionally chosen by Alexandra Redde-Amiel, who heads the French delegation, unlike previous years, where it was the public who voted for whoever was going to represent France in the competition. This close to the production ensures that he had seen this failure coming from afar, always in Le Parisien. “She had been warned of her unmanageable side. There was a possibility of taking a song from Slimane, but Alexandra preferred La Zarra. We need to clarify the method of selection, which cannot change each year… Suddenly the choice of the public, suddenly the choice of the delegation, which has put itself too much forward this year.”
“It’s a disaster”, “It’s complicated to manage”: La Zarra gives a hard time to the French delegation of Eurovision
“A bad loser? Obviously !”
The icing on the cake, La Zarra has also drawn the wrath of the older generation. Marie Myriam, the last French singer to have won the competition in 1977, fell from the clouds when she saw this middle finger. Zarra’s explanations did not convince her at all. “Watch the video, it’s a middle finger! And it was seen by nearly 200 million viewers”, she was indignant in The Parisian. “What a shame ! I am extremely disappointed because this is just not possible. She made this gesture seated in an armchair with French flags behind her. France does not deserve this!”
A bad loser? “Obviously. There are 26 candidates and one or only one winner. Perhaps he should have explained to her that she was not sure of arriving first. This is the principle of a contest. If we don’t want to lose, we don’t participate!”
