Patricia Kaas' first rehearsal

[ChildLittle]

What a beautiful language French is, so emotional.

[rapsu1000]

Once lady, allways lady!! Forgetbully voice!!

[mrmcmad]

She doesn't look any sympathetic in this video LOL, but I don't care about that, she's a great artist and I still consider her song as one of the best to ever enter the eurovision!

[Alex4u]

I love Patricia. She's the moral winner of Eurovision 2009. I just wished she had chosen a different song

[MrLeo1357]

This should definitely have been in the TOP 3! It is so amazing... :)

[JadeDAngelo]

Patricia is levels above the Eurovision.

[JoeyKayeThomas]

what a great song! i voted for this! :)

[ankapmt]

штанишки классные. и вообще просто и изысканно

[angeliya1]

she is absolutely great! but she doesn't have to ignore Sakis...

[TheiMacintosh]

Sakis is a gay boy who wants to be a Diva, she's already a Diva, It's OK to ignore him uú

[secanje]

Sakis sucks, Patricia rules :) Patricia, je t'adore!

[thanosvissi]

@TheiMacintosh how do u know if sakis is gay?

[ankarusskaya]

I love this song

[conover1234]

Kaas is sublime! Especially love the part where she ignores Sakis, the Greek singer.

[Fawcett75]

La seule chanson qu'on a ovationné plusieurs fois en pleine interprétation!!!! encore la Classe Mlle KASS :-)))

[RodosFTW]

its a nc song but not for Eurovision...

[PsipsiNelOoOZaKi]

ουστ.....

[simPattyK]

This video is great. But to see the supreme performance of Patricia in the final of Eurovision, search on youtube this: "France Patricia Kaas - S'il fallait le faire Final Eurovision 2009"

(video posted by user: arielnyko is of a better quality ;) )

ENJOY! be prepared to have goosebumps. I feel that everytime I watch that video!

Patricia really outclassed herself yesterday evening!

[terry0075]

nice song the music is so nice.

[simPattyK]

Vous avez vu la reaction du public????????

Le public l'a appaludi 3 fois durant la chanson !!!!

Aucune autre chanson n'a recu ca!

Et a la FIN toute la sale sautait et balancais leurs drapeauxxxx en criant : PATRICIA PATRICIA PATRICIA

Cela ne s'est passe pour aucun autre participant!

Les votes ont ete triches!

[simPattyK]

BRAVOOOOOO PATRICIAAAAAAA a ete la meilleure du concours!

KAAS ALWAYS THE KLASS! ;)

On est tres fiers de toi Patricia, quelle presence sur la scene! Quelle voix!

Chapeau bas Patricia !

[hansko2008]

12 points for France - merci beaucoup:--))

[spudywoody]

jesus she is sooooo far up her own arse

[Shekie2000]

..... :)

[anthibu]

the song is very good but i think greece norway spain and england are better

[rwmiosyn]

England is better than this???? It sounds like a Disney soundtrack!

[EVRUSSTV]

If 12 points from Russia won't go to France, but to Greece, then it will mean it's all been set up, 'cause the director of professional jury in Russia is Filip Kirkorov and he is a very good friend of Sakis Rouvas. Many Russians want to vote for France, 'cause Patricia Kaas is a big star in Russia her last album Kabare has gone platinum in Russia. She sold 15.000.000 copies of this album only in Russia.

[simPattyK]

@EVRUSSTV: I didn't know who was the director of the jury... you're right this could end up very unfair if he is corrupt! Let's hope he's honest and he'll do the right thing ;)

Gros bisous de Roumanie pour la Russie et VIVE PATRICIA! et la bonne musique ! ;)

[Christos19988]

kirkorov has quit from director of the jury

[simPattyK]

No that's a good news! thanks !

[simPattyK]

La KAAS c'est la KLASS!

Allez la FRANCEEEEEEEE

Patricia KAASSE leurs gueules :P :):)

12pts de Roumanie

PS: Les jaloux peuvent en mourir mais elle reste la meilleure! ;)

[dariasn]

chacun ses opinions mais je trouve Patricia Kaas extremement courageuse de faire l'Eurovision. C'est un monument de la chanson française, sa chanson est magnifique et mets tres bien en valeur sa voix si particuliere. Comme certain l'on dit c'est "classieux". Je ne suis pas fan d'elle et je n'ai aucun de ses albums mais là je dit respect.

[ripaza4]

VOTE FOR ESTONIA!!!

[ripaza4]

boring...

[iulianaro]

patricia u are to old for that competition , i love franch music , but is is not for u , shame ,you have to give up .

[Shermv5]

Je n'aime pas l'alcool mais si on gagne je boirai du champagne:D

[simPattyK]

Gros bisous de Roumanie a

ALLEZ LA FRANCEEEEEE :)

[simPattyK]

PARISSSSS 2010 :):)

KAAS the KLASS ;)

PS: those who are jealous can die of it :P :)

[Crazzzybabie]

This is the most boring Ballad.

I prefer Jade

[rwmiosyn]

You prefer Jade??? UK song is just another mediocre Disney soundtrack...

[Crazzzybabie]

And this is just another typical medicore French song, heard dozens of them.

There is something to say about every song isn't there?

[ergotelis]

Patricia ,what a woman,what an artist!! I am from Greece but i think that this(masterpiece)song must win.France go(my congrats).

[GertaGiggles]

Bonne chance pour l'Eurovision!

Viktorija, la Lituanie

[revhoney]

I agree, def too classy for Eurovision. Great that she's singing in French rather than English. Why doesn't everyone sing in their own language??

[CatAtFence]

Блин, но какой же хреновый звук на видео...

[jarpedna]

very impressive...

[SashKaLakers]

Great ! She's magnifique !

[VIRMALINE108]

beautiful! but as former yugoslavia votes for each other, turks for turks, russians for russia etc- i don't belive it gets such high rank as deserves

[soyjuanramonchu]

she is gonig to win

[elfinia]

Lovely Lady, lovely (but sad ) song. Too classy to win.

[LiMarie25]

SHE IS SUPER STAR! AND IT IS 12 points to Eurovisition, if she will singing there! ... She the best! But I was thinking this contest for young singers....

[ellepelleelle]

The onyl original songs in the contest today are by Patricia Kaas because she's a DIVA and Armenia because it's the only song that represent to Europe the Armenian culture and is not entirely pop BS. I'm so tired of hearing pop music on EV.

I hope that Kaas wins the contest and I hope that teh juries take into consideration that Armenia is showing its folk and cultural elements and is quite different than others this year.

Best of luck to France & Armenia....the few original ones.

[Shermv5]

Je voudrai dire bravo et  merci à simPattyK pour tout ce qu'elle fait pour défendre Patricia, c'est très touchant et plaisant de lire ses commentaires et beaucoup d'entre nous en France devrai prendre exemple, j'ai honte de lire des commentaires insultants venu de Français alors qu'on devrai la soutenir même si on aime pas la chansson...bref merci simPattyK et bonne chance à la Roumanie!!!

[ellepelleelle]

You will get 12 points from Armenia....Kaas is VERY popular in Armenia and has been popular for many many years. Everyone knows her and will vote for her because she's the best in the contest. Armenians love the French in general....

[simPattyK]

@Shermv5: Merci a toi, c'est gentil :)

J'adore Patricia depuis plus de 12 ans, Je l'admire parce qu'elle continue de chanter SA musique et pas la musique "qui vend", elle choisi le style et l'originalite contre le kitch et le commercial. Elle rend hommage a la chanson francaise avec chacun de ses albums et en faisant connaitre sa musique et cette belle langue au monde entier. Meme si elle ne gagne pas, elle a reussi a montrer ce que Eurovision devrait etre! Chapeau bas Madame Kaas!

[fatalagrume]

Je suis d'accord avec vous, d'autant plus que l'on a vraiment pas à rougir cette année !

[Shermv5]

Allez Patricia!!! merci d'avoir accepter de représenter notre pays!!! on t'aime et quoi qu'il arrive tu restera toujours la meilleure!!!

<3<3<3

[premiumful]

Europe, please, vote for the song, not for the country! Also, don't vote for the most popular songs. Use your own brain and music taste. Don't underestimate ballads-such as POLAND or MALTA(in final Eurovision)-very similar songs-etc.!!!Vote for beautiful but not extremely popular songs.

LIDIA KOPANIA-I DON'T WANNA LEAVE- SF2-NO.5-Thanks.

[ellepelleelle]

I agree....this song should be #1. There are only few 'unique' songs this year and one of them is Armenia's entry due to its cultural costumes, folk music (modernized but WITHOUT the stupid pop genre), few national dance movements, etc....

Sweden's entry was also good because it was unique.

I hope that people take into consideration these elements when voting without going for the pop music or for the girl with the shortest skirt who knows how to get votes just by shaking her ass.

[simPattyK]

I

La chanson "Et s'il fallait le faire" est une perle musicale (tout comme l'album entier!) et represente tres bien ce que Patricia est en ce moment comme artiste: au niveau de son genre musicale et de la voix biensur; et si Patricia a ete invitee participer a ce grand evenement pour representer la France, ce n'est pas pour un rien, c'est parce qu'elle a bien sa place la pour representer ce beau pays et cette belle culture.

[simPattyK]

II

Selon moi, la France n'a jamais eu et n'aura jamais une meilleure representante de de la musique a travers le monde, Patricia est la meilleure artiste francaise du moment, la plus "exportee" au monde,elle va "faire silence" avec sa voix et son talent.

Je lui souhaite bonne chance! Je pense qu'elle va gagner. Et je suis sure que meme si elle ne gagne pas, elle sera dans le TOP 3 ;)

[milospg]

Omg... What a beautiful song!! And lyrics, too!!! WOW!!!!!

[alsemoff]

12 points from russian-american... she's absolutely fabulous!

[ancasmth]

she's way too good for this contest. what does she need more confirmation for? she's a very good singer, I used to listen to all her songs a few years ago... but when I see comments such as "she has so much negative energy" / "she looks too sad", etc. I realize that a part of the Eurovision public has no taste at all. I wish I could be back in Europe (I'm not French though) and vote for her.

[artemisious]

it will be just Sakis night......

[ozon74]

What a performance! You floored me Patricia!

[simPattyK]

For marandfriends - Lyrics I

And If It Had To Be Done, I would stop the Earths spinning

I would turn off the light so that you stay asleep

If it had to be done to please you, I would cast away opposite winds

In a desert without life, I would find the sea

And if it had to be done, I would stop the rain

It will turn away the rest of our lives

If it had to be done to please you, listening to you every night

When you speak of love, I would speak of it too

[simPattyK]

For marandfriends - Lyrics II

So that you still look into the depth of my eyes

So that you still see in there the biggest of the gratest fires

And so that your hand clings to my skin wherever it wants to

If you fly away one day, I would follow if I could

And if it had to be done, I would repel the winter

With hard blows of springtime and long clear mornings

If it had to be done to please you, I would stop the time

So all your words of yesterday stay with me now

[marandfriends]

Thank you very much simPattyK, for the lyrics.

To me it's proved, that language is not the most important thing to "feel the meaning" of a song.

It's a question of "how to sing and to perform". If you are able to do it well, you can be sure that you will reach everyone, just like Patricia Kaas did with this song, with me.

I really hope that she will win the contest!!

Thanks again for the lyrics!

[simPattyK]

@marandfriends: ohh you're so right! Good music... you have to feel it! either you have it or not, it's like that. I think that people who understand and feel Patricia's music and her interpretation, are truly blessed! Once you've discovered her...well the passion stays there forever! C'est du bonheur garanti!

[marandfriends]

What a shame that she didn't won the contest! It was such a great performance and she sang it with her whole heart.

For me she was the best!

Maybe next time better - if she wants to try it again, but I don't think so.

Au revoir!

[7eva1]

Was für ein schreckliches Lied!!!!!!!!!!

[joonaathaan]

Deutsch, was für ein schreckliche Sprache !

[ninnilikesmusic]

we don't have a winner.

This is the loser -.-

[Biruzinka]

прекрасная певица, но пик ее популярности был лет 20 назад. Ее внешность, вокал и репертуар не вписываются в формат современного конкурса "Евровидение". ИМХО.

[etaerc1212]

[VadimGercog]

лутше бы они Мелин Формер послали на евровиденье .

[ohmydion]

Elle est merveilleuse, elle est la meilleuse artiste qui participe cette année.

[marandfriends]

I don't understand the French language - I even don't like it, if I may be honest.

But I sure will vote for Patrica Kaas, because this song is touching me right into my soul!

I don't know why, but I think it's because this song is so pure.

Patricia, you go girl!

[ohmydion]

Indeed, right into the soul! The meaning of this song is so beautiful!

[simPattyK]

For marandfriends - Lyrics III

So that I still look into the blue of your eyes

So that your two hands still get lost in my hair

I will make everything bigger and if its too much or too little

I would be wrong all the time, if thats what you want

I do want to give everything, if only you believe in it

My heart does want to bleed, if only you see it

Until being nothing more but the shadow of your nights

Until being nothing more but a shadow that follows you

And if it had to be done...

[Ugnele]

What a beautiful song. It's a pitty that very few people can understand it.

[ozon74]

We have a winner.

[carolobear]

Suis Russe... 12 points à cette chanson! elle est plus que bonne pour ce concours mais... qui sait... J'adore Patricia! Je croix que le prochait concours sera à Paris... ;-)

[youcuretube]

elle monte elle monte notre petite Kaas a nous et tout devient maintenant possible surtout avec le nouveau systeme de notation, 12 pts of course

[PARADISEhotelFAN0308]

so stupid song...

[harigepudding]

ps: and she looks like she has eaten something sauer like pickles or something. French tragedy I think...

[harigepudding]

It sounds nice but I'm still waiting for the refrain.......It goes up and up and up but it stays the same....no refrain. For the Eurovision songcontest you NEED one. Without it does not catch the people. Sorry Kaas!

[panandron]

Very very very good song, like each song from her album "Kabaret". Patricia is a great singer. I really hope she'll be the best that night and I wish her good luck.

Patricia, Europe is with you!

Take care!

^ ^

Let's vote for France and Ukraine...

[FrancoFile7]

Can I just say, from a musical perspective, and as far as good taste is concerned, this song is clearly the best! I mean, come on! Can anyone honestly claim that Greek or Turkish pop music is in any way respectable/enjoyable? They sing in broken English, and then boast about it, as if being being so culturally submissive to globalisation is a good thing!... Patricia Kaas is a sublime singer and artist. She may not win, but it doesn't matter as she is already a proper star and rightfully so!

[rwmiosyn]

Do not listen to some of my compatriots Greeks who are used to plastic music...

This song is classy, her performance is very emotional and many greeks will vote for France!

[youcuretube]

thanks a lot, i'm sorry for greece's elimination

[valquen]

Je garde le moral pour la victoire.

[youcuretube]

moi aussi

[RooXaNDa]

the best music ever...8->

[simPattyK]

If song is so "horrible, boring" then what are you doing here? showing your ugly feelings and your incapability of understanding and reaching something beautiful and original?

Who says you should love it? Don't! But then why are you so eager to leave bad coms about it? Are you scared she's gonna win? That's why you try to discredit her? Well you have just confirmed that you are very aware of the good quality of this song (and I'm not talking about the singer's fame!) Thanks ! ;) :)

[giwrgakos]

I couldn't know that this song is boring without listening to it ! I dont know where you live , but here we have democracy , and we are free to tell even our bad opinions ! If you have coblexes , just don't speak..it helps :) thank you again <3

[simPattyK]

@giwrgakos: Well I also listened to your Greek's song and I didn't liked it, but I didn't go to his video to insult him and his fans, like you did here!!

And don't give me that "superior" crap about democracy! Democracy gives you the right to have an opinion (true!) but not to insult people, is that clear? Nobody told to like the song, you could have given a polite opinion.

I think that you are the one with a complex, only weak people use insults when they don't have smth clever to say!

[giwrgakos]

I just said my opinion....that she is old ( general truth ) and that i find it boring .... LOOOOL !!! i didnt say anything about greek song , i dont like it either. It's my right to choose what i like. Search inside you to find out your problems , i am not responsible. Thanks for one more time

[giwrgakos]

As for the standards.....the crowd "makes" them ... and it seems that songs like Sertab's , and Paparizou's were good enough ....the name your singer has means absolutely nothing...

[giwrgakos]

A good song is a song that makes you feel good ... and this song DOES NOT make me feel that way .... and ..jesus christ , just because i dont like your song , it doesnt mean the disaster :S ... As for your "hot" singer at photos, my grandma is as beautiful as her with such photoshop :) thAnks again :)

[smpilias]

im sorry my france friends but this song is horrible..

[giwrgakos]

Yeah ...thats MY opinion , and i wanted to Say ....and i am listening to the kind of music that makes me feel good ....and THIS song is BORING for ME ......understand ?? thXx :)

[simPattyK]

For diwrgakos:

If this song is boring for you then what are you doing here? ;)

Ok and if this is too boring for Eurovision, then what is good for Eurovision ?? Dancing girls almost naked on the scene? "singers" with no voice and no talent, just some boum boum kitch music, only noise light and colours?

Sadly (for those who love quality music and artists) this is how Eurovision is today! :(

Even if she doesn't win, at least she raises the standard of what this music contest should be !!!

[Triton7895]

Just a grandma?? you stupid fuck i can't say more abouth you

[Cthulttio]

Lovely, dramatic song. She looks beautiful too.

[giwrgakos]

Just a grandma singing a boring song ,,,,,

[lovehristenko]

I guess you are listening to some stupid rihanna or something, aren't you? If not - then I can't understand how can you be so silly...

[simPattyK]

hahahahaha You don't know who you're talking about! You saw her in a dark badly filmed video and you give a miserable opinion. Not in your wildest dreams would your grandma look as hot and beautiful as Patricia! :):):)

For your enlightment make a Google search on her photos, and then we'll talk... ;)

[vladimir12081974]

как нахуй молдова? ))))) ты двинулась чтоли? у вас денег нет на жратву- самая нищая страна европы.. а вы на евровидение замахнулись)))))

ПАТРИСИЯ ПОБЕДИТ!

[soymateito]

France to win !

[simPattyK]

She's a winner no matter what and she knows it! ;)

She's way above all and she doesn't really need "the big prize" The three reasons why she is there are: 1. her Mom, 20 years ago, 16 May she passed away, her dream was to see her gifted daughter suceed; 2. to make her country proud of her and 3. her desire to share her music with all the countries, that's what she does for more than 20 years!

PATRICIA continue comme ca! Tes la meilleure! 12 pts de Roumanie avec plein de gros bisous!

[SireKris]

Winner of Eurovision 2009 !!!

La France

Bienvenue PARIS 2010 :D

[QueenOfShemakh]

[greecerlysucks]

[Lynvild]

1 million points from Welwyn Garden City in the UK- breathtaking - too good for Eurovision???? (How can *I* as a mega fan of ESC say that?? Easy....I have said it!)

[connectix123]

brilliant . 12 point from Armenia

[davass01]

Bravoooo!!!

Armenia whit You Patricia!!!

[CelineFascinated]

I love her music, she`s so powerful and amazing. Brilliant performance, I`m sure that this will be underwstimated, because ESC now has got a very low quality of songs. It`s a poor show at the moment, highest notes are given for stupid disco or people who dodn`t have any voice. Nowadays more important is to maka a lot of noise and all that jazz. It`s a pity...

[nordlead3]

not very good

[Geypermanjrz]

Une tres belle chanson. Douze points pour la France!!!!!
