Today during a press conference in Paris, the artists, their songs, and the selection method for the French national final, Eurovision France – C’est vous qui décidez ! were made known. This is the second edition of this national final. After Tom Leeb was internally chosen for Eurovision 2020, France scrapped the old Destination Eurovision format for this new national final format, scheduled for 5th March.

How will it all work?

Of the 12 competing songs, 5 will be chosen from the televote. Next, a 6th song will get the “Euro-ticket”. In other words, the jury will choose a song that wasn’t in the top 5 from the televote to move to the final phase of the voting. The final decision will be a 50/50 split jury/televote of the 6 songs.

The jury will have 10 members, including:

• Jenifer (head juror)
• Gjon’s Tears (ESC Switzerland 2020, 2021)
• Nicoletta (French pop singer)
• Cyril Féraud (French TV presenter)
• Yseult (French singer-songwriter and model)
• Agustin Galiana (Spanish actor and singer)
• Élodie Gossuin (Miss Europe 2001, radio and television presenter, ESC France spokesperson 2016-2018, JESC host 2021)
• André Manoukian (French songwriter, arranger, jazz musician, and actor of Armenian descent)
• Joyce Jonathan (French singer/songwriter)
• Sundy Jules (French YouTuber)
