Little moment of fleeting annoyance on the turquoise carpet of Eurovision, in Vienna. The young singer Monroe, who wears the colors of France, gave a live vocal demonstration. To the great dismay of the Belgian singer…
It’s a viral video that’s currently circulating on social media. And for good reason, it has something to make you smile (and the grumpy people react)… We see Monroe, the French candidate for Eurovision 2026, giving it her all. But the timing was probably a little bad.
Monroe a cappella: the buzzing video
On Tiktok, we were able to see some moments taken from the presentation of the candidates for the 70th edition of the Eurovision contest, on May 10, in Vienna (Austria). On a turquoise carpet, the artists and their delegations paraded, greeting the crowd and stopping to respond to the media. Monroe, accompanied in particular by Alexandra Redde-Amiel, the head of the French delegation, sang in live an excerpt from his song Look at !with which she will try to achieve victory in the final on May 16.
The young lady, only 17 years old, a soprano, gave it her all while Essyla, the Belgian candidate, was nearby in an interview. And she was forced to stop because we couldn’t hear her answer! “This is… France“, she said, with a yellow smile once Monroe’s performance was over. Enough to relaunch in the comments the war between the French and the Belgians…
Monroe wants to beat the French curse at Eurovision
The young Franco-American singer, who has been depriving herself of a teenage pleasure for several days to be on top during the final, hopes to bring the cup home. The last French victory dates back to 1977, the year in which singer Marie Myriam won the title. The Bird and the Child.
Currently placed in the top 5 bookmakers, Monroe wants to believe it. And it also multiplies the happenings since passers-by were able to see her in a carriage, in the streets of Vienna, reproducing a cappella a piece of Look at ! or another time under the arcades, to film a video for social networks. On stage at the Wiener Stadthalle, she will be accompanied by five dancers in a black and white universe.
