Watch Céline Dion’s performance in the Opening Ceremony of the 2024 Olympics!
The Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games could not have had a better finale! After the parade of countries in Seine and the appearance of various artists, it was the turn of the one and only Céline Dion!
In a touching and impressive performance, Céline Dion appeared on top of the Eiffel Tower, and performed “Hymne à l’amour”, by Édith Piaf:
Her performance had a very high degree of emotion, as this was Céline Dion’s first live performance since December 2022, when she revealed that she suffers from Stiff Person Syndrome.
This was the second Olympiad in which the great singer performs, after 1996, when they were organized in Atlanta, United States.

France: No immediate decision on hosting Junior Eurovision 2024!
France Télévisions has not made an immediate decision after its victory in Nice on whether to host Junior Eurovision 2024.
Stéphane Sitbon-Gomez, Director of Channels and Progams at France Télévisions, told 20Minutes.fr that no decision has yet been made on whether France will host the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in 2024.
Zoé Clauzure won the competition for France yesterday, bringing the country its second consecutive win.
Mr Sitbon-Gomez said:
As far as Junior Eurovision is concerned, we will first celebrate the victory. Then we will discuss, as we have done every time, with the EBU to find out where it would be better. There are many countries that want to host it and we don’t want there to be a French monopoly on Junior Eurovision.
Furthermore, he stressed that the broadcaster has not yet taken any decision on the organisation of the competition:
We take time to discuss and think together. Today, we are especially happy and proud of what we have been able to experience.
The lack of immediate reaction to the victory is a change from France’s 2021 victory in Yerevan, Armenia. Then on the night of the competition, the general manager of France Télévisions confirmed that it would host the next edition of the competition.
There is speculation that with the 2024 Paris Olympics taking place in 2024 and the financial burden this will place on the host country’s broadcaster, France Télévisions may choose to decline to host the event. We recall that this has happened before in 2015, when RAI of Italy chose not to host the 2015 competition and instead the EBU opened up hosting the contest to bidding.
Zoé Clauzure from France won the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2023 in Nice, France with 228 points. She was first in both the jury vote and the online vote, bringing France its third win and a consecutive victory after 2022.

Junior Eurovision 2023: The results of the Press and the Audience Poll | France is the winner!
In less than 24 hours from now will know the winner of the 21st Junior Eurovision Song Contest. Following the conclusion of the technical rehearsals and the beginning of the Online Voting’s first phase, the first Dress Rehearsal as well as the Jury Final took place today. During the Jury Final, the 50% of tommorow’s results was decided with the remaining 50% to be decided by the online vote.
Press poll
Since the first and second technical rehearsals were not open to press, today it was the first time that the accredited journalists were able to watch the full performances of the sixteen participating countries. Hence, as it is used in Eurovision, a press poll was held within the accredited journalists and was organized by ESC Insight, ESC Discord, That Eurovision Site and L’Eurovision Au Quotidien.
56 accredited members of the press voted, with each one of them awarding 1 point to their top three entries.
The results of the Junior Eurovision’s 2023 press poll were the following
France wins the #jesc2023 Press Poll!

At the top of the poll stands France with 27 points, followed by The Netherlands with the margin of just a point. France and The Netherlands were by far the favorites of the press with United Kingdom finishing third with a six-point margin.
Audience Poll
Along with the usual press poll, an audience poll was also held this year. The results of this poll were decided by the audience attending the Jury Final. It was requested of the audience to select a winner.
The results of the Junior Eurovision’s 2023 audience poll were the following
And #France wins the Press Poll AND the Audience Poll!!!
Will they win #jesc2023 tomorrow?
Thanks again to @ESCdiscord, @ThatEuroSite and @EuroQuotidien for help with the poll this evening! pic.twitter.com/FBFhwcmr5g

At the audience poll, France wins by landslide and is followed by Armenia and Spain.
As a result, we can see that France with Zoé Clauzure and “Coeur” easily topped both of the polls conducted today and is a clear favorite for winning the 2023 Junior Eurovision Song Contest. In case the aforementioned scenario comes true and France wins on home soil, it will be the second time in Junior Eurovision history that a country wins in two consecutive editions, with the first being Poland(2018-2019).
