Ihis name is Lissandro, he’s 13 years old, he’s French and he won the 20And Eurovision junior edition on Sunday 11 December. The competition took place in Yerevan, Armenia, home of Malena, last year’s winner. Lissandro defended his chances with a song titled “Oh mama! “, co-written by Barbara Pravi, who finished second in the adult competition in 2021 with her title “Voilà”. It is the second time in three years that France has won the junior Eurovision after Valentina in 2020. France will therefore organize the next edition.
” He is 13 years old. He lives in Théding, in the Moselle. He has a unique voice, a crazy talent, a rocker’s energy. And he has just won the Junior Eurovision with the colors of France! Many congratulations to Lissandro! praised the minister of Culture Rima Abdul Malak on Twitter.
His song is “a delightful mix between Bruno Mars and Elvis that will make Europe dance”, commented Alexandra Redde-Amiel, head of the French delegation to Eurovision and director of variety at France Télévisions, ahead of the song contest. .
Note that Junior Eurovision is reserved for boys aged 9 to 14. Unlike adult Eurovision, you can vote for your country. The winner is determined half by votes from the public and half by votes from national jurors.
This year, 16 countries participated: Albania, Armenia, Spain, France, Georgia, Ireland, Italy, Kazakhstan, North Macedonia, Malta, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, the United Kingdom, Serbia and Ukraine.
