France: Titouan will fly the flag at Junior Eurovision 2024 in Madrid

• Titouan will be France's hopeful for Junior Eurovision 2024 set to take place in Madrid on November 16, 2024. 

  France Televisions has internally selected Titouan to represent the nation at the 22nd edition of Junior Eurovision in Madrid this November. He was selected in June, among about twenty other young candidates.

  The 14 year old talented artist will be singing “Comme ci, comme ça” (So-so), which will be released today at 18:00 CEST.

   

  Who is Titouan

  The young act from France is familiar to the audience from his participation in  The Voice Kids in 2022 and Dream Team last January.

  In The Voice Kids show presented by Nikos Aliagas, Titouan was 11 years old and had managed to convince the four coaches. After choosing Julien Doré to accompany him, the young boy was eliminated at the battle stage. Two years later, he returned to TF1 by joining Matt Pokora's team in Dream Team, a  show that he won.

  Alexandra Redde-Amiel, director of entertainment and games at France Télévisions and head of the French delegation stated to the local French media (20 Minutes):

  "He has a particular grain of voice, a luminous look - the Junior a contest of emotion, through the eyes, we convey a lot of things. He has a lot of charisma and ease."

  His song, revealed at the end of the day on Wednesday, contrasts with the previous French candidates. If it remains in a juvenile register, it does not dig the "candy pink" furrow and is distinguished by its low tempo opening before going up tempo.

  Alexandra Redde-Amiel sees it as "a mix between Mika, Elton John and Coldplay in some sounds. We keep the colorful pop side that we like to wear at Junior because it's important to arrive with a good vibes side and a strong message. In this case, "an ode to tolerance and love, a hymn saying that difference is a strength."
