His Destination Eurovision victory last night, takes the number of confirmed entries for Tel Aviv to three. But is France’s Bilal Hassani and “Roi” your favourite Eurovision 2019 act so far? Can he knock Spain’s Miki off the top spot? Or can Albania’s Jonida Maliqi rally her fans and zip past the gents?
It’s time to vote!
You can listen to “Roi” and watch our video reaction below. Then vote in our poll. Choose wisely, you can only vote ONE time. And be quick! Voting ends early on Monday morning, 28 January — just ahead of the Czech reveal.
We will then relaunch the poll to include the successful Czech entry.
Bilal Hassani “Roi”
The sophomore season of France’s Destination Eurovision concluded last night with Bilal Hassani taking victory. His Madame Monsieur penned “Roi” only received mixed scores from the international jury, but he reigned supreme over the televote. A massive score of 150 points ultimately saw him win the selection with ease. Will international viewers be just as enamored with the androgynous teen idol?
The good news: The new music video of Emmanuel’s “La promesse” is online, very good, with the choreography of “Destination Eurovision”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74qdErCeq_Q The bad news: Bilal is in turmoil in France. On the one hand idiots who don’t like him have spread on the net fake tweets in which the boy would have made comments against Israel (but it has been proven that these tweets are fake, I specify). The second bad news is that someone else has exhumed a video (true by cons) where Bilal, who was younger at the time, made fun of the attacks in France. It… Read more »
Hatari….Islande 2020
I have to say that this picture of Bilal is very beautiful and sexy. The hands with glitter, arms posing behind the head and back. Roi written in the face. Pure beauty <3
Will we be getting these polls every time a new song is added? This will get boring very quickly!
Yes, but none of these songs will crack the top 20.
I like very much the spanish song . Miki will have not many votes from professional jury but a lot from televoting. Here many people hate these songs but we still will have to listen worse songs…If these songs had been the entrys from Sweden, Russia etc many “courtiers” would have been talking about masterpieces…
That’s what I was thinking…
Off topic: Does anyone know when Australia’s national final starts in the central European timezone?
Thank you
Albania > France >>> sPAIN
You underestimate Bilal fans and spanish Eurovision fans.. I voted for Albania even if I do not like any of the songs. Just because I knew Spain and France would have more votes anyway..
It sounds like you think they care? They spam vote for their country, I doubt they even know what other countries have selected their entries yet
I’m confused. Wiwibloggs fans wanted Bilal to win Destination Eurovision. Now they hate it. Seems legit.
We have an expression for that in France , “brûler ce qu’on a adoré” : “to burn what we loved” (what is “funny” is that it dates from the baptism of our first King, Clovis). being super popular turns against you the day that those who loved you find an excuse to hate you (obviously the nicknames “fans” here only liked Bilal if he ended up second behind Simorose …) I think that Another example is football. The coach brings back the cup, it is a hero, if he loses in the final the next time the so-called supporters want… Read more »
Je pense qu’Alex était simplement sarcastique pcq les fans de Bilal venaient en masse voter pour lui dans les sondages de Destination Eurovision (c’était assez évidant que c’était le cas). Depuis qu’il a gagné ce concours on ne les a pas encore vue voter sur le sondage entre l’Albanie, la France et l’Espagne.
In my book, no competition for Albania so far. Though I think “Roi” is a better song than “La Venda”, Miki sold me his entry like Bilal hasn’t been able to do yet, so I’ll put Spain in second place.
1. Spain (7.5)
2. Albania (6.5)
3. France (5)
No Eurovision 2019 winner here.
I like Albania most, but Spain does have a nice song this year. It’s France I don’t like.
Even if with only three candidates I find that it is a little early to make predictions when we know the number that is waiting behind, I will try an objective choice: 1) Jonida Maliki. Even if I could only see the version “lyrics video”, it is a very powerful song and planing, which leads you into another universe, as was “1944”. And we feel that she is a singer with a strong vocal technique. The world music side can please. Let’s add that it’s a pretty woman, and even if one would say “the physical does not matter” …… Read more »
1. Albania – 6.7
2. Spain – 6.5
3. France – 5.0
For me 1.Spain 2.Albania 3.France My prediction Spain from 9 to 13 place in final ( TOP 10 with televote 8 to 10 place, bottom 5 with juries (from 21 to 26) result like France 2012,Austria 2016,Denmark 2018 France result like France 2017,2018 , 12 or 13 place , but result with juries and televote simillar like France 2017 , TOP 10 with televote 9 or 10 , but out of TOP 13 with televote Albania in final (9 or 10 place in semi) , in final from 16 to 19 place.( with juries and televote from 15 to 20… Read more »
France out of TOP 13 with juries
Albania has a very strong vocal performance, something that can be appreciated by music professionals so it could be a repeat of Albania last year or Albania 2012 and have a large jury vote. I just hope that it isn’t seriously underappreciated by the public. The song takes me to a different dimension.
No winner alert here. I don’t dig any of these songs. For now it’s Albania.
Spain way ahead of the rest for me. A really fun, catchy song.
Don’t have any strong feelings for the France or Albania entries.
We all know how this will end. I voted Miki.
01. France
02. Albania
03. Spain
None of them are great in my book, and despite being such a charismatic singer Spain is likely going to be bottom 5, depending on how it does on the televote internationally France may join them or even get on the left hand side/top ten. Albania I don’t see getting out of the semi-final unless they have a knock-out revamp and something in their staging that helps it stick.
Just shows the poor quality of the songs when Spain is ahead by such a margin!
They would be anyway.
Who are those fans who are voting so many times for France because no way is that better than Albania.
Bilal fangirls. And you know those Spanish fans too.
Just one serious question: Why I am always reading fan-“girls”? What about fanboys? 😉
None of these songs will be in top 10 in May, but i can aprcciate all of them for different reasons ,Albania for an amazing vocal, Spain for joyful vibe and energy, and France for very charismatic performer, i dont get all the hate here, maybe these songs are not the best but its not bad at all:)
1) Spain
1) Albania
42) France… and it’s still too high
1st) Albania ?? 10/10
2nd) Spain ?? 7/10
3rd) France ?? 6/10
1- SPAIN ??
2- ALBANIA ??
3- FRANCE ??
I like Bilal but I love miki’s song so I go for spain
Albania is the only song that’s worth considering so far. The other 2 might place 15th at best, with A LOT of luck.
lol I’m seeing a lot of Bilal fans saying, via social networks, that if we say bad things about him is because we are racists or homophobics and this is bullying. Please, stop playing the victim card, it doesn’t work.
Well the last minute of his song is fairy terrible on the ears. I like his image. The songs not bad. But the ending is really hard to listen to.
His looks are much better than his vocals. I just don’t vote for looks.
I think Albania is the best so far for Eurovision
Spain – No competition
01 – Spain
02 – Albania
03 – France
ALBANIAAA
STOP BILAL BASHING !!!
He is the first for me and im not a teenagers girls or fan…
Go Bilal 😉 Go France !!!
It’s not Bilal Bashing at all it’s just that the song simply isn’t strong enough no matter how much you like the artist, and as a gay man myself you can hardly accuse me of being homophobic!!
The song is strong, his personality too, but his voice is weeeeeeak and kills a reasonably good sing
If France had decided to choose Seemone, it would have even won in May.
No.
Yes, it would have.
Yes. They would definitely have a very good chance with Seemone.
We cannot claim that for sure, but it likely would’ve been in top 10.
France with Seemone result like The Netherlands 2016,2017, Austria 2017,Denmark 2017 .From 90 to 135 points with juries and from O to maxum 40 points with televote.Placement from 11 to 16 in final.
OMG, clash of Spanish fans vs Bilal fans. 😀 This is going to be fun to watch! *grabs popcorn*
Still, this year Albania is miles ahead in terms of quality. TOP 10 material. So I vote Albania.
Bilal’s song is much more divisive than Miki’s, so I think the Spanish fans will win thanks to the international support.
I just can’t get enough of “La Venda”!!!
My winner for now, so it’s kind of like this
1. Spain
2. Albania
…………..
………..
………..
3. France
1. Albania
2. France
3. Spain
France 2/10
Spain 3/10
Albania 4/10
==> hope other countries will do better!
HAHAHAHAHAHA What a bad taste!
NONE OF THEM
1.Spain 10/10
2.France 9/10
3.Albania 6/10
Albania all the way.
1. Spain 7.5/10
2. Albania 7/10
3. France 5/10
There is already a poll on Twitter from someone, so why this one?
Not crazy about any of them, but voted for France, parce que au moins l’ambalage est bien.
hey wiwi team. First of all thanks for all the work u do 🙂
From this 3 entries, Spain is the only one that has likeability during the performance and that in my opinion is key to succeed, and when i say succeed isn’t winning…cause none will do it!
Wiwi team, please review the songs that were already release competting in the national selections from the others countries apart from Uk and Sweden, cause u know, not all is about them xD
Thanks 🙂
Battle of spammers!!!
1. Albania (8.5/10): This song gives me Albanian vibes and the singer is just magnificent. I love the darker sounds and I believe it will really stand out from other entries! But seriously, drop that dress though :p Good job, Albania! 2. Spain (6.5/10): Nice party entry, if staged well could be a hit for the public vote! I can’t see it doing well with the juries, but who knows! Not a winning song, but will do better than bottom 5. 3. France (4/10): The song isn’t for me and neither is the stage show. I liked France these past… Read more »
Mine is…
Albania 8/10
Spain 4.5/10
France 4/10
France needs to bring Grassi back, because this new HoD cant bring good entries to the table
