"Je veux donner ma voix" - Nayah

"I want to give my voice, I want to give my words"

The French Final was held on March 2nd at L'Olympia in Paris, hosted by Julien Lepers & Karen Cheryl. The winner was chosen by an "expert" jury (50%) & televoting (50%). The "expert" jury placings are in the first column of results and the televoting in the second. As there was a tie between Nayah & Ginie Line, the televoting result took precedence.
