	"gained valuable experience touring with several famous French-speaking artists such as Dave" Lise Darly is a 23 years old singer. She started her singer career in 1996 and has won several competitions, such as the 'Graine de Star Tour' in Mandelieu, where she came first out of 100 participants! In 2001, Lise decided to turn professional and gained valuable experience touring with several famous French-speaking artists such as Dave and Jane Manson. Since 2002, Lise has sung around Europe with the 'Grand Orchestre Baie des Anges' orchestra. Last year, Lise took part in the Eurovision casting process organized by TMC. After much debate and hesitation, she finally came second but she really charmed and impressed all the jury members! For the 50th Eurovision Song Contest, TMC finally decided to promote a new artist and asked Lise to represent the Principality. In Kiev, Lise will sing a mid-tempo symphonic love song, especially recorded by the Monaco Philarmonic Orchestra, conducted by Jean-Louis Dedieu. Titled 'Tout de Moi'('All of Me'), the Monaco song is a the declaration of love of a young girl who is desperate to do anything to find her lost love. Lise, what's your opinion on the song Tout de moi? Lise Darly: I love the song so much! The melody is really nice and quite straightforward to remember. I think that many people, especially young girls, could easily identify themselves in the lyrics. As for recording the music with the Monaco Philharmonic Orchestra, that was really a brilliant idea! Phil, you have written the song Tout de moi. How would you describe it? Phil Bosco: Tout de moi is a song about love, the most universal and timeless theme. The song is a love declaration and the lyrics could have been written by any young girl, desperate to do anything to win her love back.















	The Singer Lise, a dusky maiden from Nice, is the latest Christian to be thrown to the lions by the emperor Albert of Monaco. She finished second in the Monegasque contest in 2004, and was chosen the following year by an internal jury, for presumably being a game bird.












	The Past One win, good results in other years, but Monaco left in 1979, and now the over-rich, under-developed principality have deigned to re-join the Eurovision fold. It's difficult to like Monaco really, being as it is stuffed to the rafters with income tax escaping, over pampered old women, who've had more facelifts than the Ford Mondeo. Welcome back Monaco.



	The Song Am I in a time warp? Could this be real? Was that an orchestra I just heard? Yes, it certainly was. The Monte Carlo Orchestra give it big with the wind and cymbals, evocative of the 60's style Eurosong where conductors had their moment of fame. It also raises a speckle of vomit in the back of the throat as it reminds me so clearly of the nadir of Eurosong in 1988, when puff-balled Dion forced her foulness on Europe. Apart from that, it's got quite a decent three notes from the string section at the end of the chorus. The Monacococan video ends with Lise getting a round of applause from a solitary man in the audience. I don't think she can expect much more than that on the night. Gestures - 5 A disappointing, but expectedly understated effort from the Monagasques, with Lise standing in a smoky black room, the only break in the monotony being the 5 marks received for finger splaying. "Wanna" Count - 0 (1 "want")






	Overall I think we can presume that the Monacoanoan strict adherence to old fashioned song routines will mean Lise crashes and burns. It's simply not worth going into as it won't make the final, and I'll be surprised if they ever do again the way they're going. In a Nutshell "It's like being forced to watch Last of the Summer Wine"

"The Shrink Says"

Monaco in the Eurovision have developed what's called unconditional responses. That is, ergo, if you smell a lemon, you might get a sour taste in your mouth and you may salivate.
This may occur from the time you are born, and can occur without you ever having tasted a lemon before. The salivation and sour taste would be unconditional responses.
This year Lise ("Consecrated to God" in German) is the salivation, and her song is the sour taste.

Tout De Moi

Je donnerais ce que j'ai de plus cher
Je pourrais même faire quelques prières
J'apprendrais à devenir celle que tu voudrais que je devienne
J'irais contre les tempêtes et les vents
Je crierais haut et fort mes sentiments
Pour que nos routes se mélangent, je deviendrais ton ange

Tout de moi
Je dépose à tes pieds mes heures et mes armes
Quand tout de toi
Me rappelle que je ne suis rien déjà
Oui, tout de moi
Je te donne tous mes rêves, mon cœur et mon âme
Quand tout de toi
Me rappelle que j'n'existe plus déjà

Dans cette ville où tout parle de nous
Reste le souvenir des rendez-vous
J'accroche des mots pleins d'espoir, en attendant le vent du soir
J'ai des nuits qui ressemblent à des années
J'ai perdu le sommeil à trop rêver
J'ai beau crier contre des murs, mais rien ne me rassure

Tout de moi
Je dépose à tes pieds mes heures et mes armes
Quand tout de toi
Me rappelle que je ne suis rien sans toi

Et si les dieux sont contre nous
Alors je serais marabout
Je chasserais les hivers froids
Comme une reine de cœur défend son roi

All Of Me

I'd give the dearest I have
I could even say some prayers
I'd learn to become the one you want me to become
I'd face storms and winds
I'd shout out my feelings clearly out loud
To fuse our routes, I'd become your angel

All of me
I lay down at your feet my time and my arms
When all of you
Reminds me that I'm nothing yet
Yes, all of me
I give you all my dreams, my heart and my soul
When all of you
Reminds me that I don't exist yet

In this town where all speak about us
The memory of our dates are left
I hang up words full of hope, waiting for the evening wind
I have nights that look like years
I've lost sleep by dreaming too much
I've shouted against walls, but nothing puts my mind at ease

All of me
I lay down at your feet my time and my arms
When all of you
Reminds me that I'm nothing without you

And if the gods are against us
Then I would be a marabout
I would hunt cold winters
Like a queen of hearts defends her king
