A few words before the grand finale. The singer La Zarra, who will represent the France at Eurovision this Saturday night, gave an interview on RMC a few hours before the competition, which will take place in Liverpool. "We've been waiting for this big day for weeks, we're very focused," said the singer of the title "Obviously".
An hour before the performance, "there's going to be a lot, a lot of stress," she anticipated. But "it's normal. (...) And as soon as you go on stage (...) you become comfortable." The Quebec singer, who has been talked about throughout Europe after the cancellation of a concert in Amsterdam, has also revealed her habits before entering the track. In the dressing rooms, "we put on music, we dance, we laugh," she explained, adding that she made "a little prayer just before going up" on stage.
About her upcoming performance, La Zarra told RMC that she wanted to "give viewers a kind of painting, a sculpture to look at. Let it be a bit of a wow effect." She described her song as a title that "needs to be transcended" because it is "emotional."
"Focused on the essentials"
The singer also expressed her enthusiasm for the contest, which she describes as "a world apart", which allowed her to meet "many artists", to "make friendships" and even to discuss "possible collaborations".

If the bookmakers give the representative of the France in the leading group, the main concerned prefers to avoid speculation. "It's important not to look too much" at the forecasts, she said. "I try to stay focused on the essentials." Among the supporters, La Zarra will be able to count on his family, who will be present in Liverpool this Saturday evening.
"I have always fought in my career and I will fight, we will give the maximum," she concluded. We will have to wait until the end of the evening to find out if this will be enough for her to take over from the Ukrainian group Kalush Orchestra, which triumphed last year with "Stefania", a song mixing hip-hop and traditional music.
