France, my beautiful forest-ravers, you deserved so much better
France gettin only 8 miserable points from televote is my villain origin story.
i refuse to get over it
I have something to tell France about Eurovision 2022.
As an italian, I have a love/hate relationship with France, mostly because our countries are good in the same fields (art, food, wine, fashion)… but you’re even more famous than we are ahahah. You’re like a big brother to us, we always roast you, but we’ll fight anyone outside of Europe that tries to do the same.
Now, that being said, one of the reasons we criticize France is because they often stick to the Paris-Tour Eiffel-Voila-Oui-Croissant stereotipical image and never try to show something different about their country.
This year Its the first time I was actually super proud of France’s Eurovision entry. You sent a song completely different from the usual classic french ballad, and you even used breton! I was in total awe, especially because I’m actually a fan of French literature and lately I’ve read Mathias Enard, who gave me a magical idea of rural France and I’d really like to see some of the less famous faces of french culture.
I’m so angry Fulenn didn’t get much votes. The message that passed is that we only like France when it’s classic Paris stereotyped France, so I wanted to tell you that this is not the truth, at least for one person out there. I think you have much more to share with the world than that! Please, France, I’m sorry eurofans and the juries failed you, but don’t give up on your more creative side ❤️
Last night was both amazing and disappointing. Here to our french witches who deserved better
Listen I wont be annoying for too long but the fact that France send in a group that sings in Breton is so fucking important to me like.
We are talking about a language that the french higher ups have ALWAYS tried to get rid off !! They banished it from being talked in schools in the late 19th and early 20th century. But also generally as the Bretagne (Brittany) part of France have always been looked down upon and that region was always treated as some kind of experiment base.
The fact that the group is actually a bunch of bretons singing in breton is truly making my heart happy
Fuck you to all the people who tried to demolish this language. It will keep shining.
I’m so happy for Ukraine’s victory but don’t forget France… Why so little points ?
doodling while watching ESC. so sketched the two songs from the countries I am from lmao
Things I need people to realise about the French ESC song✨Fulenn✨:
- the song is not in French (yes it’s a big deal, yes it’s a very big deal considering the current government’s take on regional languages, of which breton is one).
- the girls wrote the lyrics.
- the song is about female empowerment BUT the ESC France demanded that the musicianwho is a guy sing too.
- He sings the last words. In a song about a woman’s freedom. Ah ah ah. French people am I right?
-HE DOESN’T SPEAK BRETON he basically learned how to say the words by heart and is playing make-believe <3 and he owns up to it <3 bless him.
- as incredible as it may sound no one apart from him in this band is a professional so those girls are basically killing themselves being on stage and then going back to their day jobs when the ESC allows them to
+ the best part : they’re not being paid ✨ for their presence on stage ✨
