Bilal does not hide his non-traditional orientation and declares to the whole world about the need to accept himself. This is exactly what his song will be about, which we will already hear at the contest in May.
Bilal Assani is a 19—year-old French singer and video blogger, of Moroccan origin. He became widely known thanks to the songs and videos that he published on his YouTube channel.
Bilal's love for music appeared in his early childhood. From the age of five, the boy studied singing, and in 2015 he won the French talent show Voice, where he performed Conchita Wurst's song "Rise Like a Phoenix".
This is what Bilal's performance on the show looked like. At one time, it was with this composition that an extraordinary artist, who is often called a "Bearded Woman", won the Eurovision Song Contest.
Now Bilal himself will have the opportunity to perform at a prestigious music competition. The guy plans to represent the country with the song "Roi", which means "King".
In this composition, Bilal sings about how important it is to accept and love yourself as you are. Do not pay attention to the opinions of others and create your own life.
The jury rated Bilal's performance at 50 points, another 150 points were brought by the audience. As a result, the guy took first place among eight contestants and will now represent France in the Eurovision 2019 final, which will be held in Tel Aviv on May 18.
The guy always liked to try on women's clothes, wear wigs and do makeup. And in 2017, he publicly declared his homosexuality.
According to Bilal, after that he began receiving numerous threats, but he no longer had the strength to hide his orientation.
The guy always performs "in full dress". He's not shy about looking like a girl.
The photo below is a vivid proof of this.
Facebook Instagram, Twitter, and more pictures of Bilal can be seen on his social media pages.
What do you think about Bilal? Will he be able to win the Eurovision Song Contest 2019?
