"Your love has taken me further than I ever thought possible": after her disappointing 7th place at Eurovision, Louane sends a lovely message to her fans

France had high hopes and would have liked to achieve more. After Louane's disappointing finish at Eurovision, the singing star reacted on Instagram.

She addressed her fans on her personal account. "I've seen everything, read everything, and I deeply feel your support. I wish I could have given you even more," the "Maman" singer wrote.

"Honored to have worn our colors"

"Know one thing, I am proud, so proud and honored to have worn our colors, to have represented you. With all my heart, I thank you for every word, every message, every wave of strength that you sent me. Your love has carried me further than I would have thought possible . Thank you for this unforgettable adventure. Thank you for letting me dream for us, I love you."

Louane was automatically selected for the final, her song "maman", a tribute to her late mother, intensely performed with a restrained scenography symbolizing the passing of time in an hourglass, had given hope of victory.

Unfortunately, the public only awarded her 50 points and she only earned 230 in total, even though she was still ranked third after the points were awarded by the national juries.

"Obviously, we're disappointed. All the indicators were pretty positive," admits Raphaël Depetris, 31, who came from Antibes for the show.

France has not won Eurovision since 1977 and "The Bird and the Child" performed by Marie Myriam.
