Well, not yet. They’ll do so today at 16:40 CET when France 3 broadcasts the much-anticipated Les Chansons d’abord Spéciale Eurovision. During the show France’s three Eurovision candidates Twin Twin, Destan and Joanna will perform their songs “Moustache”, “Sans toi”, and “Ma Liberté” in their entirity. You can watch the show live online by clicking here. UPDATE: You can listen to the songs by clicking here.
The show, which was recorded on 10 December, includes appearances by Amaury Vassilli, the Eurovision star who was detained for possession of marijuana a few months ago, and Anggun, France’s most famous citizen of Indonesian descent.
Marie Myriam, who won Eurovision in 1977 with her song L’oiseau et l’enfant (“The bird and the child”), will also make an apperance. Her participation is marked by sadness. Several days after the filming of the show her husband Michel Elmosnino died of a heart attack in his sleep.
France 3 previously released 30-second snippets of the three songs during a radio show…after Joanna’s song had already leaked in full. In any case, the song snippets start playing at 3:00 in the video below.

I guess I am only one who is more focused on the song, than on every single detail concerning how each act perform … I usually listen to music with my ears … something has changed and visuals seem to matter the most even if the true listening part is rubbish. Anyway if Twin twin wins for France, that is another piece of rubbish for the already huge list of rubbish songs that became too damn popular in Eurovision for reasons I still don’t get it. Bonne chance a la France en tout cas meme si la choix plus populaire… Read more »
If France want good result at Eurovision 2014 , they must sent Destan,only with them France have chance to bi in from place 10 to 15.
With Joanna maybe place from 15 to 20 place in final.
With Twin Twin bottom from 20 to 26 place in final
Is it stupid that I am only watching for Anggun?
Avant Destan !
Twiiin Twiiiiiiiin
I adore Twin Twin. They have to win. I just wish their wasn’t the five week voting period because I don’t think I could take it.
I’m going to the contest again this year and it’ll be a shame if they don’t make it
Can’t wait to see her performance… Loove Anggun so much 🙂
yayy.. Anggun ????
I hope Joanna will be chosen as the France entry…
Go Joanna 🙂
Can’t believe it’s Twin Twin who got me more intrigued about today’s show, hahaha. Looking forward to it 🙂
