PARIS, France – Just a few minutes ago, on private channel D8’s talk show “Touche pas A Mon Poste”, Cyril Hanouna has decided to spoil France 2 announcement (not very fair) and reveal the name of French entrant for Stockholm. According to D8, the lucky singer is former “The Voice” contestant, Amir Haddad. It also seem that the song is titled “J’ai cherché” and you can listen to it in this post. March 12th is the date when France2 will officially reveal the signer and the song for Stockholm.

INFORMATION ABOUT AMIR

Amir Haddad or just Amir, is an Israeli French singer and songwriter of Tunisian and Moroccan-Spanish Jewish parents. He took part in 2006 in Israeli music competition Kokhav Nolad, released his album Vayehi in 2011 and was a finalist in French competition The Voice: la plus belle voix as part of Team Jenifer finishing third in the competition. Haddad born in France, immigrated to Israel in 1992 at the age of 8 as part of Aliyah and residing in Herzliya, north of Tel Aviv. He sang as a young child in the synagogue and in various social events. He came to fame in 2006 with his participation in the fourth season of the Israeli song competition Kokhav Nolad (in Hebrew כוכב נולד meaning A Star is Born), the Israeli equivalent of the Pop Idol held May to September 2006.

At the end of the competition, Haddad was signed to a French label. creating following in France, Switzerland, USA and Brazil in addition to Israel, cooperated with a number of artists, notably Shlomi Shabat, Haim Moshe, Dudu Aharon, Gad Elbaz etc. His song “Kache limtso milim”, the Hebrew version of Patrick Bruel’s French hit “J’te l’dis quand même”, came alongside a music video. Bruel loved his rendition and invited him to sing it with him in a grand event in Raanana Park on 23 May 2008 in front of 8000 spectators. He sang it yet again much later in 2013, during the gala in tribute of Anaelle Ledoroth in Paris on May 27, 2013.

In 2011, he released his debut studio album Vayehi co-written by Haddad and Omri Dagan during the years when Amir was a university student. The album included his already popular version of “Kache limtso milim”. He also revived a 1990s hit “Désenchantée” by French artist Mylène Farmer. Haddad’s version was produced by the famous Israeli producer Offer Nissim. Amir toured France with other The Voice finalists. He also appeared in compilation album Forever Gentleman 2, in the concert by charity association Leurs voix pour l’espoir in Olympia, Paris, appeared in the #OBJETPUBLIC calendar of the magazine Public and many other appearances. He also released a music video for “Candle in the Wind”, a song he had interpreted during the blind auditions in The Voice. He is preparing a first album in French.

Salut! Born just a few days after Marie Myriam's last victory for my homeland (that's a sign), I've been an ESC fan since Zagreb 1990. In late 2013, I was lucky enough to join the Oikotimes team and even attended my very first contest in situ in Wonderful Copenhagen. Then it was Vienna, Sofia, Stockholm and soon it will be Valletta and Kiev. More to come...

HUNGARY 🇭🇺 After Kati Wolf, AWS also create to Hungary's withdrawal from Eurovision. AWS represented Hungary at Eurovision 2018. The band's leader, Örs Siklós, also commented on Hungary's non-participation in Eurovision 2020. "Every country is trying to send in an artist who is a little different and stands out, either in his music, appearance and work or in his style. That's what differentiated us from the rest of us, and it was so amazing to see Eurovision fans, who are usually not familiar with metal music, lure us in and love our music. And I think we've gained a lot from our participation in Eurovision. It is very sad that Hungary will not participate in the next Eurovision. Honestly, I wasn't attending the competition before we got in, but this year I was watching everything and supporting Joci." #eurovision #oikotimes #melfest #umk #DestinationEurovision #eestilaul #srfesc #eurovisiongr  #openup 76 0
