Eurovision 2023: France’s La Zarra Addresses Controversy, Thanks Fans Ahead of Liverpool Contest

In a video titled "D-7 before the big departure" posted on Twitter, the singer of Moroccan origin broke her silence to thank the fans who supported her during this controversy. "I would like to thank each of you for your support and your love [...] you have given me unimaginable strength. I wanted to reassure you, it is in the more difficult moments that we see the people who love us and the power of love," said Zarra.

"It’s the home stretch, I’m more determined than ever with pride and love to carry the colors of France. We can’t always be unanimous. So many of you have told me that you believe in me and in my song, your song. And that’s all I need," continued the performer of "Évidemment" in her short video, which has already been viewed nearly 50,000 times.

In this statement following the criticism against her after her two missed concerts last week, the artist of Moroccan origin promises a "dazzling, dangerous and so chic à la française" show in Liverpool. "We don’t let go, nothing [...] we’re ready, more than ready, to make the Liverpool stage sparkle," La Zarra specified. The diva is ranked for the first time in the Top 5 of the favorites of the competition by British bookmakers.
