The Staging
Barbara took the stage dressed totally in black and delivered the song is a very passionate way. The staging resembles that of the nationa final one with the stars on the floor missing. The lights and and the dark surrounding go along with the atmospherical nature of the song, while the effect where the French acts' shadow turns into birds is outstanding.
Barbara's vocals combined with her face expressions and the body language creat a captivating performance of 'Voila'. Maybe some camera shots could be improves but in any case she justifies way she is one of this year's favorites.
