Monaco
Dennis Reviews Anita’s 21st Century Favourite
Maryon – Notre Planète | 19th place, 10 points (Semi-Final)
I was happy when Monaco made their comeback in 2004, but I am sad to say that I was disappointed with what they came up with in the three years they were back. All songs were weak, including Prenez soin de notre planète. The opening of the song, coming up in a dress with a lot of small lights, is the highlight of the act. Overall a weak performance of a weak unimpressive pop song with a standard beat. Not my cup of tea.
Brandon Reviews Joshua’s 21st Century Favourite
Lisa Darly – Tout de moi | 24th place, 22 points (Semi-Final)
Why did this song not do better than it did! Such an injustice and so underrated. Sure, it’s pure disney realness but Lise was gorgeous with a voice to match. Perhaps a bit too mid-tempo but those orchestral elements were stunning, I wonder if Monaco would’ve stayed if this had done better…
