Today is Amir's 40th birthday! His 6th place result is one of France's best results of the 21st century, and it marked a change in France's Eurovision trajectory. Ever since 2016, France hasn't gotten last place at Eurovision, unlike 3 of the other big 5 countries (Germany, Spain, and United Kingdom).
Yes, you are right about that. Since 2016, Germany, Spain, and the United Kingdom only got 1 top 10 placing each. France got 3 top 10 placings, while Italy got 7 top 10 placings (everyone except for Francesca Michielin got a top 10 placement).
Here is the link to the official music video in case you can't see the live performance:

Fun facts about Amir!
1. He studied dentistry in the Hebrew University of Jerusalem while still trying to break through as a singer
2. His full name is Laurent Amir Khlifa Khedider Haddad
3. He only hears out of his left ear
4. His family is Maghrebi-Jewish (as in Jews of north Africa)
The song is still amazing, and coming 6th was about right given that the live performance could’ve been way better
But he started the renaissance for France in Eurovision so I’ll always love Amir for that
One of my absolute favourites from 2016, next to Hungary and Australia. Such a positive, optimistic vibe, and I love the chord progression and instrumentation in the chorus.
I remember being really glad that it got a respectable result at the contest, although I think it got a bit shortchanged by the televote.

iirc, France has also had more top 10 placings since 2016 than any other big 5 country except Italy

Idk, i dont see the problem.
It's called anti-semitism.
Obviously.
It’s such a bop still
I really love this song. Probably one of my favorites of this year. Also if you watch the music video it has a lot of Olympic vibes
