On se perd, on s’espère, quelque part on s’égare...

Today was a BIG day for me, as they finally revealed the full version of the French entry "Echo (You and I)" sung by Anggun. I was over the moon when they announced Anggun as the French representative, as I've been a MASSIVE fan of her since I discovered her in 1999 with her amazing song "Snow On The Sahara", and I have been following her career ever since.

Some of the reviews of the song have not been very favourable, although it's had it's fair share of positive comments too, so it was on tenterhooks that I pressed PLAY on You Tube....

AND....well I wasn't disappointed! It starts off mid-tempo before changing tempo, and becoming rather frantic towards the end! It's uplifting and catchy without being too in your face. Some people have commented that it doesn't have a chorus, but I completely disagree. It might not be a chorus that slaps you in the face but it's definitely there, and I think the switch from French to English in the chorus really works!

Check out the song here, complete with lyrics, so you can sing along!

As for it's chances at Eurovision? I'm not entirely sure. I think this one could go either way. Despite being an uptempo song, I think the juries could go for this one. I'm confident that with her experience, Anggun will be able to pull off a great performance, I just hope it's not just her standing there on stage! So this goes straight to number 1 on my chart so far, and I think this will be difficult to be beaten...
