I have always had a soft spot for French Eurovision entries. They're always in my top five, and I praise them even if I know deep down they're crap.
But this year, I don't have to pretend.
2011 is France's year, thanks to Amaury Vassili's big, dramatic Corsican number "Sognu".
I agree predicting a popera winner is a big call, but the bookies are with me.
This stands out from all the other entries, and will appeal to the all-important three Gs: grannies (who love opera), girls and gays (who love Gallic hotties like Amaury):
See you in Paris for Eurovision 2012.
