  • Yeah, I agree with most people.

    He shouldn't have been in Eurovision, because he's way too good for it.

  • JESUS 0:45 background! If people's jaws did not drop at that + his singing ... I don't know what you guys call music and feelings for music! Tres bon Amaury, votre chanson excellente! Bonjour a Quebec :)))

  • Putin... Et on me sors qu'on ce retrouve 15ème??! La compétition remporter par une musique pourri! Et je ne parle pas du 3ème, c'est pire...

    Cette chanson, j'en ai des frissons ! :) Elle n'est pas à sa place !

  • I think this song was a way above the contest.

  • GREECE gave 12 points to wonterfull people of FRANCE !

    Guys always love you ! <3

  • @CreativeFursona This song is sung in corsican (which is a language spoken in the islands of Corsica). Si it's quite normal you don't understand a word of it :)

  • 1:09 ma tu tyle wody anna gol pupe na betonie ^^ Przejmujemy Film ?;p

  • ma tu tyle wody anna , gol pupe na betonie .:D

  • Well I predicted the song won't do well and it did not. It's just not the right contest for this song! And pour guy did look depressed during voting. I doubt this was a good experience for him. He's talented but what has this song to do with Eurovision??

  • is the national anthem

  • Is it just me, or does he look like a younger version of Stephen Moyer? Perhaps I should just stop watching True Blood... :)

  • u can discibe this perfomes whit only 3 letters and that is wow just loads of respect to be able to sing like this and get so long as he did

  • Beautiful 

  • Does anyone know why this is in a lower key than all other performances/album version of this song?

  • @MATTY0MOO he had technical problems with sound and wasnt hearing himself

  • Sheet! Its France from Hetalia D:!

  • @MISSLADYJUGGERNAUT LOL that's what I thought!

  • I can't believe he didn't win , j'adore

  • a duet between him and Malena Ernman!!!! <3

  • The best song this year!!!

  • There are rumors that his headphones stopped working , so he didn't hear himself for about 30 seconds.

  • Love his hair

  • love his voice soooooo much hes beautiful. ♥♥ from UK he should have won

  • il a une voix magnifique.

    C' est simplement incroyable(Je suis espagnol)

  • il a une voix magnifique.

    C' est simplement incroyable

  • so hot guy and such a nice voice !!

    real eusrovision 2011 winner

  • 10 points from spain

    thanks for your 12

  • Je comprend qu'il n'ait pas gagné sa voix n'est pas si exceptionnelle que ça

  • Il etait seulement faux parce que son oreillette avait mal marcher - c'est pour ca qu'il y avait des gens qui pensait qu'il devrait recommencer... come a fait l'espagne l'annee derniere. D'ailleurs, c'est devenue beaucoup mieux a la fin. il aurais du gagner.

  • He looks like a pirate. A sexy pirate ;)

  • Mi ŝatus la videon SED kun tia ĉi voĉo anstataŭe /watch?v=tJbbKwPQHMs

    j'aimerais ce video MAIS avec cette voix à sa place /watch?v=tJbbKwPQHMs

    Me gustaría este video PERO con esta voz en su lugar /watch?v=tJbbKwPQHMs

    I would like this video BUT with this voice instead /watch?v=tJbbKwPQHMs

  • WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?? IT IS SO BAD!

  • @JulieLik His voice is not good enough for the song. He can't sing the higher notes, and therefore the entire song is played lower than usual.

  • amazing!!

    even though i cant speak french

  • @metallica3519 he's not singing in french

  • @metallica3519 It's not french, it's corsican, a dialect from a southern french island :)

  • The styling is so bad........

  • my favourite song after sweden

  • The song was outstanding, but I think his performance there (out of the tune, etc) ruined his chances to win the Eurovision or even to come close to the top. On the other hand, Azerbaijan, which had a quite average song, had a really good performance and won (and I guessed both their fates during or right after their performance).

  • he is amazing...is too talented for Eurovision:D

  • how come this song that was in all surveys and all betiings as the winner by far ended up in the 16th position?. the voting this year is really suspicious and really makes you think in a fiasco. there has always been a shade of suspicious in the voting in eurovision but this year more than ever it is been TOO OBVIOUS

  • @victor12vic That's why italy ended second and swedend 3rd

  • @victor12vic Yes, without the neighborly jury votes Sweden would have won...

  • Lingua corsa is very similar to italian, so how only 1 pt from Italy - country which created this kind of music? ;)

  • @gre4everAnett because in your country you are idiots sorry,italian music sucks,it was a welcome back,france was much better

  • @lauritaxful

    well I said that because I was supriesed, France didn't get the highest points from Italy

    Actually I'm not Italian :) but France and Italy had the best songs in this Esc

  • C'est tres magnifique!

    I'm from Bosnia but this song is the winner..Voice like this is magnificent. Amaury tout le meilleur! ;)

  • can't anybody tell that he was way out of tune? his previous performanes were great... but this was horrible.......

  • @Ballista121 Yes, I've just posted a comment about that... way out of tune, indeed. He ruined all his chances and he might actually have won if he had sung like he had done before, because with such an awful performance he still managed to be 15th.

  • Dommage qu'il soit faux.. Si c'est le chanteur qui représente la France, Eh ben, on est pas prêts de remporter l'Eurovision...La moindre des choses pour un chanteur , c'est d'être juste..! En revanche, très beaux décors! Bravo..

  • dommage qu'il soit faux, les décors sont magnifiques, si c le meilleur chanteur pour représenter la France...la France n'est pas prête de gagner l'eurovision telemagouilles...bravo

  • how did france even get into this contest?... the world is falling apart =(

  • Tarzan xD

  • i fell in love with this guy when i watched it. i still am.

  • Ähm... wtf?! Sexy hair :D OMG, *ucking bad.

  • How rude. How come not the whole performance? That's like someone bringing out a birthday cake, serving you a piece and them picking it up halfway through. How rude! And yes, he was off at the first, but the last 3 minutes should have shown the just how operative and awesome he is. I think most of the audience members were into the Glee group, who definitely SHOULD HAVE NOT WON! Horrible, for sure and I like good music.

  • Hetalia... Francis... IRL..... O_o

  • @RietjeRox i was thinking that too

  • @Austriamusicmix thats what happens as hetalia fan, non? XD

  • I liked the song, but I really dont think this was his best performance of the song. He didn't sing in tune at the beginning and it it took him a while to 'get into it'. And he was trying to much in the end to make up for it.

    I'm not saying he would have won had he sang better, but I really think that nerves got into him. Only normal.

  • Comment removed

  • @anniecy This is not about nerves.. his earphones didn't work for the first 30 seconds, he couldn't hear himself and he whole french media was talking about it, but everyone else kept silence.. the question is why? But anyways he was 100 times better than those voiceless idiots- the winners.

  • I loved this song, the voice and the background was just fantastic matched it in my view, not that i understood him, but was great all the same!

  • wow!!!!

    

  • Soufflez, s'il vous plaît que la presse française écrit maintenant de l'échec ? Que Amaury Vassili dit ?

    Je ne peux pas trouver l'interview... Moi de la Russie.

  • Vassili..<3

  • C'est magnifique! (Je ne suis pas francais).

  • Perhaps The Best Voice in 50 + Years of eurovision.

  • LOVE that background!!! WOW!!

    This song should have got a higher placing!!

  • @SanBeanzie Germany ^.^... Wir haben das Geld

  • EPIC

  • sounds/tuning problems...such a pity because this was such a winner!!

  • TOO GOOD FOR EUROVISION!

  • what a shit song :/

    ı cant stand him.

  • Il chante faux! Er singt falsch! he sings false!

  • dang there were so many SOUND PROBLEMS THIS YEAR.

    Ireland, England, France , Modolva , just so many obvious problems !

  • @AicentBlaichez germany wanted to win 4 a second time ... :D

  • @AicentBlaichez It wasn't England, it was the United Kingdom. Sorry to split hairs, but no.

  • @chriswales19 I am so sorry i must have sounded so ignorant *facepalm :(

  • Cred ca l-au sabotat.Plus ca muzica din fundal se aude prea slab.Oricum,sonorizarea a lasat de dorit si la restul pieselor.Uitati-va cum la sec 44 incearca sa umble la microfon.

  • Cred ca l-au sabotat.Muzica din fundal se aude prea slab.Oricum,sonorizarea a lasat de dorit si la restul pieselor.Uitati-va cum la sec 44 incearca sa umble la microfon.

  • Cred ca l-au sabotat.Muzica din fundal se aude prea slab.Oricum,sonorizarea a lasat de dorit si la restul pieselor.

  • Cred ca l-au sabotat.

  • THE worst disappointment this year...Unfortunately, just like Israel last year. Worst vocal from the ones that actually were supposed to sing. Better luck next year.

  • @Aenx17 It was just the sound problems this year, if you see him in the semi finals it was better

  • @AicentBlaichez No, he WAS NOT in the semi finals. Maybe u mean the Rehearsals...and he sounded just as bad, he didn't sound like the recorded version at all... Not even the same Key... >< I love the song, but it wasn't delivered properly, that's all.

  • @Aenx17 That's true , the version on the Cd was...very diffrent

  • Outstanding voice!

    Sendnng the love from Australia

  • What a wonderful singer! A star is born! World will love him!

  • Bello... e bravo a cantare.... ma un francese che canta in italiano.... era meglio un'altra canzone..

  • @alexisshin4u Ma che italiano :-)! E in lingua corsa

  • @19olivier72 ODDIO MENOMALE!!!! XD

    Ho letto il testo sembrava un italiano distorto XD

  • @alexisshin4u non è in italiano ma in una lingua corsa

  • I thinK that the acustic in that auditorium wasn't good!!!

  • Oh my god

    what happened?

  • What a magical voice what an awesome singer he deserves more im proud cause we gave them 12 points ( greece )

  • Yeah,everyone heard that he didn't sing good at the final contest. But it wasn't his false. The microphone had problem. He tried to fix them or to do something but he couldn't. Look at 0:44. Then at the end he took the microphone from his ear of (in this video we can't see that cause it ends earlier...)... They should have left him to repeat his song...12 POINTS FROM GREECE!!!

  • Une chanson vraiment singulière et intense!!! w la méditerranée et sa ^iles!!!!

  • stupid kids . u always vote easy pop songs and not difficult songs like this. now go and jizz for your pop ugly idols like justin beaver and eric saade

  • I mean his song

  • Fuck Eurovision 2011! The microphones destroyed the songs. See Amaury's beautiful voice watch the video clip

  • @nasaras1997 Whatever the reason, his performance was not very good = no win.

  • He is actually a fantastic singer, one of the best I've ever heard (better than Josh Groban, Michael Buble). But he is very nervous here so is off key a lot of times. The high notes are really off, but I understand how nervous he is. The high notes at the end are awesome, though. Truly. I love his voice no matter what! Reminds me of the little Israeli number last year. Has a voice like his, but a lot better.

  • IT's THE BEST SONG !!!

    BRAVO )))

  • nan, en corse

  • mais...il chante en italien...?!?!?!?!?!?!

  • SOOO CUTE <3

  • This performance reminded me of Les Miserables (my favorite musical of all time) because of his jacket, the fact that he's from France, and the fact that the song is so powerful. Props from the States!

  • This, Italy, and Moldova are REAL MUSIC

  • Honestly, I like the live version better than the official one...Whether it is sung correctly or not!

    an exceptional talent, in this young age!

  • Brilliant ! Too good for this contest. Im english and this was great, good voice and good music.

  • NINA SHOULD WIN

    

  • Perhaps the headphones were out of order, that would explain a lot. I hoped this would win but I think everyone noticed the nerousness at the begining.The song did improve a lot in the second part. Wonder how much difference it would have made had things gone better. He should have made a protest and been able to sing again.

  • Il aurait peut être dû s'arrêter en pleine chanson et demander une réparation de son problème technique...

    He sould have stop during his song and ask for a technical issue fixing !

  • @tandeeable: If you listen to the other recordings and compare them (i.e. orchestration) to this one you'll observe that this life eurovision version was set up for a lower key, The device problem drove him out of tune, he didn't control very well his voice, oscillating between this and the other version a little bit and trying hard to stay to the last one. It wasn't a good idea to change the key for the life version, but maybe he's got some voice problems and it was the only solution this time

  • This just shows how fake the voting is, always the same kind of country's winning with crap songs, this is real music, amazing..this should have won.

    from the netherlands

  • :( :( :(

    :(:(

    :( :( :(

    :(  :( honestly i expected better performance :( :( :( DO NOT REPLAY MY COMMENT !!!

  • Formidable !!!!!!

    

  • goosebums

  • Remember this people of France. Greece knows to recognise the good quality in a song thats shows culture. You didn't got our 12 points for nothing. Greetings from Greece, we love you :D

  • Comment removed

  • the winner of eurovision 2011 !

  • Jasper Cullen

  • @TheMrsMedia YES that one reminder me !!

  • good voice but he have to study very very much. Good song but he sings worse that a child that sings for first time liric one.

  • Comment removed

  • Every straight girls dream. 1. French 2. Seems like he jumped out of Sleeping Beauty 3. funny

    LUV YOU VASSILI!! You should have won. You were my TOP CHOICE!!

  • It is obvious from the video that he had no sound at all, and he could hardly sing along. Nevertheless, he moved on, that was a brave effort. This was my 12 points for the 2011 Eurovision Contest, and Im glad my country (Greece) awarded France with it. By the way, Vassilli has to murder the hairdresser who advised him to appear with this hair.

  • How can you be french, handsome and have such a sexy voice all at once?

    Dreamguy! <3 :)

  • @TheRomainlover HAHAHA!

  • how can you be french, handsome and have such a sexy voice all at once? dreamguy! <3 :)

  • Nice voice, and to be this young and stand on such a big stage all alone, is courageous. However his singing technique has some serious faults especially when he sings "E" vowels. It is also clearly visible when he goes to the higher and lower ranges of his voice. His face and throat get way too tense. Hope he has the time to tackle these things, which is difficult when you get catapulted like him, or his voice may decline quickly.

  • wonderful voice!!! that's a quality song!!!!!! gust perfect <3

  • did they like make the instruments lower or did he just accidently sing the wrong key? just wondeering, i wanted france to win :)

  • It'd be good if I understood a word.

  • Fabulous background projection !

  • it is unfair....we (greece) gave 12 poionts to frenche!:D they (frence ) gave us 0!!!!!!also i don't believe that greece vote this song......:P

  • @panagiotouuu1997 I'm from Greece and this is a beautiful song, it deserved our 12 points! Even though it wasn't his best performance we had known and loved this song previously. Proves we have a good taste!! Same goes for our 10 points to the also beautiful italian song!

  • @panagiotouuu1997 tu xronu en na mas dokun 12. min fovasai :D

  • haahahahahaha when i had told that this song is awful and that is opera

    all had told me that will win hahahah 25 seat is the first?

  • what's a pity...

    i thought he will be the winner this year....

  • Skoochnaja pesnja kak i u Italii

  • such a great song, but he started out of tune!! poor guy, but an amazing singer regardless!

  • not at all powerful

    

  • @Bumbaramara it is powerfull

  • I don't understand what you guys like at him. C'mon...his voice is trembling

  • No wonder they did not let him sing live before this!

    Yet another studio lip-synch !@#$ with a pretty face.

  • I felt sooooo bad for the guy , the nerves got to him. :( I really appreciate France , Austria & Italy this year for bringing some class to eurovision!!

  • And I'll stop here, I know Amaury Vassili for 2 years, and he was sick that day, he thrown up ones, or twice, after the show, he didn't had a problem with headphones, HE HAD NO SOUND AT ALL !! He says that he went in the tune by feeling, and he's a bit angry of it, 'cause he was the only one who had no sound in headphones... that's it. Stop saying he was out of tune, it was not he's fault... he has a good voice, and we're all with him, also the one who like him =D

  • @MlleLauraaNosa Having no sound at all is indeed a problem. Should have complained about it loud and clear because it could have been a set up from competitors. If you know him personally then you can pass that he needs to slap his makeup artist. Makeup should hide any sweat or oil for longer than few minutes. Tell him to try Make Up For Ever HD finishing powder. Colorless, can go over any makeup and will hide sweat, oil in addition to soft light effect. Professional French makeup BTW

  • @MlleLauraaNosa I felt so sorry for Amaury. This was / is just an Amazing song and singer. I could see in his performance that he tried to correct something with his sound equipment. He Really should have complained after the performance, and been given another chance . Not fair ...... He is amazing

  • @MlleLauraaNosa

    well then~~~~good job, don't let anyone feel bad about his performance

    for the condition he had what was well done indeed

    you'd know it d[][]n* well that none of those who criticized him for his condition would sing as well as he did

  • @MlleLauraaNosa I'm completely with you !!! No matter what, he is the Winner !!!

  • @MlleLauraaNosa Lui - le génie.

    La voix magique.

    Un beau garçon.

    Le talent.

    Je pleurais, quand a vu que chez lui il de n'entend pas le problème avec les casques d'écoute et.

    On regrette ainsi.

    Lui jeune. À lui 21 an. Tout en avant.

    De la chance à lui.

    Moi de la Russie. Votait pour celui-ci. Mes amis votaient pour celui-ci. La deuxième dizaine – la honte à ce concours. Ne pas estimer CETTE voix. Je l'aime. Il est le génie.

  • Well well well... I love this song, that's a fact... But some people says Azerbaijan ,, Bought '' the votes... Let's explain... Azerbaijan need mooore tourist in their country, and eurovision can do this... so, they gave travel to the jury, or money, to give 10, or 12 points to Azerbaijan, and 1, 2 or nothing to the ,, possible winning '' coutries... like France, Espagna ect... That what say someone, who told last year that Azerbaijan was trying to bought the votes of the jury...

  • The background effects are so damn wonderful! It was fantastic!

  • Stop it with all the out of tune shit.His headphones weren't working at the beggining that's why he was out of tune.I'm a singer and a trainne audio engineer and I can tell you when someone gets screwed up by his monitoring(headphones) or his nerves.

  • Wonderful background!

  • This song is not bad, but unfortunately he sang completely out of key! At least in the beginning. Maybe he didn´t hear the music well enough...

  • @DoktorAgan17 His headphones had problems.

  • TARZAN!

  • he'd make a good phantom

  • I hate this song............what i mean is it not appropriate for the eurovision................but i have to admit i don't like opera but he has a powerful voice!!!

  • quel dommage qu il soit gagné par le stress t es un champion tout de meme Amaury tu meritais de ganger

  • this was probably the best 'musically' but for eurovision, your targeting the general public for votes.......cheesy pop gets votes......

  • Too good for eurovision ... not adequate for eurovision ... Won't comment on that. But thank you France for sharing such a wonderful masterpiece. May I add that the use of a regional language was very much appreciated. CHAPEAU! from the beautiful island of Malta

  • His voice seemed less powerful than in the other clips at the beginning. The performance was slightly disappointing but this song definitely deserved more than the 15th place. It won a prize (best musical composition I believe) and it was truly a masterpiece. Excellent voice, excellent music and let us keep in mind that he was one of the few who was betting on his talent and the song itself rather than the choreography and the deep cut dresses and showing of legs. Well done from Malta AMAURY!

  • *Yawn* i fell asleep and could not see the rest of the show and with all the money you have GET A HAIRCUT X( i dont understand you. compared to jedward you look like a statue falling asleep
