At EurovisionAccording to Eurovision rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country and the "Big Five" are required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete for the final; the top ten countries from each semi-final progress to the final. As a member of the "Big Five", France automatically qualified to compete in the final on 18 May 2019. In addition to their participation in the final, France is also required to broadcast and vote in one of the two semi-finals. During the semi-final allocation draw on 28 January 2019, France was assigned to broadcast and vote in the first semi-final on 14 May 2019.
In France, the two semi-finals was broadcast on France 4 with commentary by André Manoukian and Sandy Herebert, while the final was broadcast on France 2 with commentary by Stéphane Bern and André Manoukian. The French spokesperson, who announced the top 12-point score awarded by the French jury during the final, was Julia Molkhou.
FinalBilal Hassani took part in technical rehearsals on 10 and 12 May, followed by dress rehearsals on 13, 17 and 18 May. This included the semi-final jury show on 13 May where an extended clip of the French performance was filmed for broadcast during the live show on 14 May and the jury final on 17 May where the professional juries of each country watched and voted on the competing entries. After technical rehearsals were held on 12 May, the "Big 5" countries and host nation Israel held a press conference. As part of this press conference, the artists took part in a draw to determine which half of the grand final they would subsequently participate in. France was drawn to compete in the second half. Following the conclusion of the second semi-final, the shows' producers decided upon the running order of the final. The running order for the semi-finals and final was decided by the shows' producers rather than through another draw, so that similar songs were not placed next to each other. France was subsequently placed to perform in position 21, following the entry from Azerbaijan and before the entry from Italy.
The French performance featured Bilal Hassani performing on stage dressed in a white long-sleeved crop top with shoulder pads and silver details together with two female backing dancers: Lizzy Howell and deaf dancer Lin Ching-lan. The stage colours were predominately dark and the LED screens displayed quotes as well as news headlines showing the backstories of Howell and Lin who both represent different communities that are often attacked. The performance began with projections of tears and phrases on Hassani's face, while the performance was concluded with the LED screens displaying the quote "We are all kings/queens". Bilal Hassani was joined by three off-stage backing vocalists: Brice Pihan, Émilie Satt who represented France in the 2018 contest as part of the duo Madame Monsieur, and Ulrich Kwasi. France placed sixteenth in the final, scoring 105 points: 38 points from the televoting and 67 points from the juries.
VotingVoting during the three shows involved each country awarding two sets of points from 1–8, 10 and 12: one from their professional jury and the other from televoting. Each nation's jury consisted of five music industry professionals who are citizens of the country they represent, with their names published before the contest to ensure transparency. This jury judged each entry based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act. In addition, no member of a national jury was permitted to be related in any way to any of the competing acts in such a way that they cannot vote impartially and independently. The individual rankings of each jury member, as well as the nation's televoting results, were released shortly after the grand final.
