The singer returns to the gesture of the hand which she addressed to the camera at the time of the attribution of the points, and which agitates the social networks.
No, La Zarra did not give the middle finger to the camera during Eurovision 2023, this Saturday in Liverpool. While the image of her raised middle finger when she discovered her low score invaded social networks, the Quebec singer assures BFMTV that her gesture was misinterpreted:
“Although I represent France, I also have a double culture,” she recalled, a few moments after the end of the program.
“It’s not a negative gesture, on the contrary, it’s just a gesture of disappointment that we use between friends,” she continued. “Afterwards, I can understand that overseas it is considered another gesture.” Was it, then, a middle finger? “Absolutely not,” insists the singer.
Unexpected score
La Zarra had reason to be disappointed: at the time of these images, the interpreter ofObviously had just discovered that the Eurovision public had awarded her only 50 points, hoisting her painfully to tenth place. France finished 16th in the standings, once all the points were distributed. A difficult score to understand, when you know that La Zarra was ranked third in the forecasts a few days ago.
Like her protege, the head of the French delegation Alexandra Redde-Amiel returned to this gesture which agitates social networks:
“It’s very cultural, as (La Zarra) explains: it’s a gesture that means ‘it doesn’t matter’ (…) It is urgent that the press put the church back in the middle of the village.”
She also assumes her disappointment: “Of course we are disappointed, we have worked so much,” she told BFMTV, without losing her smile. “At the same time, it’s a great pride, because we did a very good performance.”
Singer denies leaving the Green Room out of disappointment
Another image raised questions on Twitter: Netizens noted that as Finland and Sweden neck and neck waited to see who would win, the silhouette of La Zarra appeared in the background. Letting suppose that the singer had left the Green Room, where the delegations wait together for the results, before the end of the attribution of the points.
Again, La Zarra sweeps away any controversy: “We sit for long hours and my bladder is very small, I had to get up.”
It was Sweden’s Loreen, a big favorite of bettors since the start of the competition, who won this 67th edition of Eurovision with her title Tattoo. The singer had already won the tele-hook in 2012 with the tube Euphoria.
