Barbara Pravi lost, but she won the hearings match.
With "Voilà", the French singer finished second in the Eurovision Song Contest, Saturday, May 22, behind Italy.

The other pillars of Saturday night are playing their game: “Hawaii 5.0” on M 6 (1.8 million, 8%), “Échappées Belles” on France 5, which never goes below one million (1.2 million, 5, 6%).
Just one last thing: Lieutenant Columbo leaves no one in sixth place with his 734,000 fans (3.1%).
