From our special correspondent in Malmö (Sweden)
France is automatically qualified for the Eurovision final, along with the other main financial contributors to the competition: Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom. However, and this is one of the new features of this 2024 edition, these artists who are guaranteed to be in the final are invited to perform in the semi-final, to benefit from the same visibility as the other candidates in the running.
Slimane therefore performed My love, during the second half, this Thursday, on the stage of the Malmö Arena. His performance was particularly anticipated because he is one of the favorites in the competition.
Three minutes that stand out
He delivered a table corresponding to what had been presented during the rehearsals attended by 20 Minutes on Wednesday. Three intimate minutes, during which the artist dialogues with the camera, and which clearly stand out from the other proposals in the running this year.
Will this allow him to seduce juries and the public for a result at the top of the rankings? Answer during the night from Saturday to Sunday, when the final will deliver its verdict.
