After Valentina's victory at Junior Eurovision in Poland, France Televisions were granted the honour of organising the Contest in Paris, the 'City of Light'.
On the night in France, Malena won a second victory for Armenia with her song
Qami Qami
, earning a grand total of 224 points, which was enough to finish in first place, with runners-up Poland and hosts France scoring 218 and 187 points respectively.
The show took place on Sunday 19 December at the La Seine Musicale - a spectacular concert hall located on Ile Seguin (Seguin Island) on the Seine river.
The slogan is ‘Imagine’: a simple and effective nod to Valentina's winning song
J’imagine
. But it’s not just a slogan - it’s an
invitation to dream
.
Our
hosts
for the evening were Olivier Minne, Elodie Gossuin and Carla (of
Bim Bam Toi
fame), and along with the 19 participating countries, we enjoyed performances from reigning champ Valentina, DJ duo Ofenbach and the sensational
Barbara Pravi
.
