Alma - Requiem - ESC 2017 France / Song Review

Requiem - Will the modern Dance song be successfull?

Follow the way of Amir:

While the German national broadcaster were preparing for their National Final, France selected their entry for the upcomming Eurovision Song Contest.
The 29 year-old singer Alma will give her best for her country but we have a connection between her and the last year representer, Amir.
She is not only singing as a part of his Tour, no, her song is written from the same person who has written Amir's song J'ai cherché. The modern Dance song which has got an oriental touch is titled with good opportunities because it is something different in a year where ballads gets the biggest influence. But how good is her song?

Feel the Cote d'Azur and the Southern part of France:

Firstly I have to say that these little beet drops in the beginning sounds like a typical French Pop-song. Furthermore at this part, the song reminds me on a title from Indila or other great singers from France because if you close your eyes, you get the feeling of sitting at the coast in a Mediterranean part of France and listen to these typical sounds of Dance from France.
Well, you can say that this is a perfect cliché song for these country but it is perfectly composed and in this way true! The chorus makes you want to shake your body and to make party with all your friends. I hope you know what I mean because the song does not sound boring at any moment. And I am truely impressed by this "Highlight-moment" in the end of the song because it is not only going calm and then finish with a powerfull note, no, it is an ending which reminds me on Amir's song but is in another way so independently good that it might flash you because you wait on the Chorus to dance again and again. Very good!

 

The conclusion:

You really fell the songwriter influence of Nazim because if you asked me about France in Eurovision before 2016, I had only talked about boring and old-fashioned entries which did not impress at any moment but if you ask me sice we had been 2016, I will surely talk about a big favorite which probably can win the Song Contest.
France is looking onto the new generation and is going straight on their musical request.
We all are loving ne rhythyms and new beats, a fresh entry with the influence of the Dance music gives not only your entry an impact, the whole ESC will get the profit of these influence and song.
Surely I can say that France will do very well this year, maybe we can talk about a favorite to win but what we can say for sure at this moment: These song is growing onto a big fan favorite like it was Amir's song last year too. I think they will get a place in the Top 10 and for me this song has good chances this year because we have so many ballads that a Dance song can make a difference in the voting process. Again I can say: Well done France!
