FROM EUROVISION 2021

The French Barbara Pravi was beaten on Saturday evening by the Italian group Maneskin, winner of the Eurovision Song Contest in Rotterdam (Netherlands).

Edith Piaf, the 28-year-old singer could allow France to win its first victory since 1977 with her title Voilà.

But she had to bow, despite a moving performance and despite the support of many international media, after a vote full of suspense (499 points against 524), to Maneskin, an Italian rock formation. which was also one of the favorites of the competition.

Right after the ceremony, Maneskin had to face a controversy.

His singer firmly denied having taken drugs, after images were posted on social networks showing him leaning over a table during the final.

Tuesday, May 24, 2021, the organizers of the competition announced that the singer who had submitted "voluntarily to a screening" had not consumed drugs.
