FRANCE: Internal selection in 2015


France as one the 'Big 5' is set for the final, means the French artist needn't to perform the song in one of the semifinals on 19th or 21st of May next year in Vienna at the 60th Eurovision Song Contest. 

The national broadcaster France brought back the Competition from France3 to France2, which has already been responsible for the broadcasting and selections of artists and songs in the 1980's and 1990's. The bad results of the French entries since 2003 may be a reason fo the broadcasting unit. In the last decade Frensh artist achieved only one top 10 position with Partica Kaas in 2009 (8th place). All other entries came behind place 12 - 6 of them 20th or worse with the negativ result in the ESC 2014 in Copenhagen when the group TwinTwin ended on the last place with just 2 points collected in the end. 

It seems the Frensh broadcaster wants to change the image of France in the competition and to promote the Eurovision Song Contest. France2 will now be in charge to find the representative for France in an internal selection.
