La Zarra Represents France at Eurovision Amid Controversy: Will She Win?

It is an appointment that is eagerly awaited. On May 13, the Eurovision Song Contest will take place and it is La Zarra who has been chosen to represent France. “An evidence”, said Alexandra Redde-Amiel, the entertainment director of France 2 when she heard the voice of this singer. However, La Zarra has been at the heart of controversy, in particular because of his behavior which some have called a “diva”. On her Twitter account this Wednesday, April 26, the latter spoke to be reassuring. “Hello France, hello Europe. I’m days away from going to Liverpool and I absolutely wanted to send you this message of thanks”she began before adding: “It’s the home stretch and I’m more determined than ever to wear the colors of France with pride and love.” Before flying to the competition, the singer wanted to thank internet users for their support. “You have given me unimaginable strength and I wanted to reassure you. It is in the most difficult times that we see the people who love us and the power of love“she said.

La Zarra was transparent in this video and she wanted to address her behavior, which has been the subject of much criticism. “Even if we can’t always be unanimous, so many of you have told me that you believe in me and in my song. In our song!”, she said before adding: “And that’s all I need.” For the candidate, the important thing is to focus on the competition and the song, not on the controversies. “Let’s stay focused on the essentials. We are ready and even more than ready!”, she said, eager to take the stage. For this, the singer has prepared a big show, highlighting her intention to win this 2023 edition. “We are going to make the Liverpool scene sparkle. We have prepared a dazzling, dangerous and ‘so chic’ French show. Liverpool, the ‘Grande France’ is coming!“, she concluded. Will the French forget the controversies and vote for La Zarra? Will she be the winner?

La Zarra: why did his behavior cause controversy?

For several weeks, La Zarra has been the center of attention. It is not his song that speaks but his behavior, described as “diva“. The reason? On April 15, the singer canceled his participation in a dress rehearsal on stage at AFAS Live in Amsterdam. The latter had mentioned a “personnal issue” to justify her absence but this excuse did not go unnoticed. According to former relatives, she used to be “complicated to manage“. In the columns of Le Parisien, Sébastien Farran, one of his first managers, made some confidences: “The recording of the album was complicated, because she is very… demanding”he revealed, before adding: “She has great potential, but she finds it difficult to work with people. She left overnight for another management that she left four months later. A controversy that struggles to be forgotten.
