At Eurovision

On the night of the final Manson performed 13th in the running order, following Belgium and preceding the Netherlands. "J'ai déjà vu ça dans tes yeux" was an atypical ballad for Eurovision, with a blues-style arrangement and no conventional melodic hook. At the close of voting it had received 44 points (the highest 10 from the United Kingdom), placing Luxembourg 13th of the 19 entries. The Luxembourgian jury awarded its 12 points to France.[1]
