This Saturday, December 16, 2023, the Eurovision 2024 audience discovered which artist will take the stage to defend the colors of the United Kingdom during the competition. Like Slimane for France, the name of this artist is well known to the public.
France won the final of theJunior Eurovision, on November 26, thanks to the talent of Zoé Clauzure, 13, who performed her song Heart. A top-notch performance provided by the budding artist whose theme of the song, dedicated to school bullying, hit the mark.
“It’s a super important subject for me. There are still a lot of victims today. I really wanted to give them strength and light so that they can get through it. I also received messages that told me: ‘Zoé, you helped me a lot, you saved me…’ It’s a very important song for victims today”confided the big winner of the competition, discovered by the French public in the show The Voice Kids. A victory which redoubles the hopes of the French delegation of winning during Eurovision 2024 by calling on a very famous artist for the competition: Slimane. But France does not seem to be the only country wanting to impose itself during theEurovision 2024.
