Last Monday, French fans were disappointed after the TV talk show "Vie privée, vie publique", presented on France 3 by Mireille Dumas. Patricia Kaas was one of the guests but didn't say anything about the Eurovision Song Contest. Dumas didn't ask the question but the talk show is not a live one. It was recorded days before the broadcasting (if not a few weeks ago) and Kaas' management certainly insisted on avoiding the matter. The conversation focussed on Patricia's career and personal achievements.
Next Sunday, February 8th, "Vivement Dimanche", one of the most popular TV shows since a long time, will have comedian Anne Roumanoff as main guest. Among the other artists to sit on the sofa, Patricia Kaas will be there, to promote both her CD and tour. TV presenter Michel Drucker asks her about whether she will represent France at the Eurovision Song Contest and the singer answers "Yes".
esctoday.com expects an official confirmation statement from France Televisions to be made imminently.
