France announced that Anggun will be the French representative in the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 in Azerbaijan. According to wikipedia, Anggun is an Indonesian singer-songwriter. She has released 12 studio albums (5 in Indonesian and English, 4 in French) and one soundtrack album (Open Hearts), and her songs have also been included on various compilation albums. Her musical career began in childhood, and she achieved commercial success in Indonesia when she was 12 years old. At the age of 20, she moved to Europe, and she is now living in Paris. After Amaury and Patricia, this option from France is not a surprise since their main goal is to bring quality to the contest with very well know artists in the french speaking countries.

Marie Myriam, the french winner of Eurovision 1977 will attend Eurovision Live Concert 2011 in Setúbal (Portugal) next 10th of September! Marie Myriam has portuguese origins and made a version of her ESC song "L'oiseau et l'enfant" (A ave e a infância). Last year, another winner went to Setúbal, Sandra Kim!

3 or 4 of the BIG 5 contestants are among the favourites to win. It's not important for this countries if they are going to be in the simfinal or not! The are already win with a lot of chances to win! France its the first to rehears!

Amaury is a brilliant singer. At the first moment we had a strange feeling watching a so different song in the Eurovision stage but when the song was growing we had no doubts, this song is a strong one to win! It will definitely be higher! The stage is empty with Amaury singing like we all expected!

French National Television first presented a snippet of the song. Now, Sognu is known by everyone. The video is great and France brings always the difference and professionalism to ESC.

Amaury Vassili is the singer that will represent France in Dusseldorf. Amaury is a opera singer and will sing in Corsican the song Sonniu. http://www.amauryvassili.com/
