This weekend sees the NRJ Music Awards in Cannes, so I though it was worth taking a look ahead at some of the finalists.
As is the case in many such big music awards, international artists dominate many of the categories, but as it is a French ceremony there is a huge representation from French artists.
The awards have been running since 2000, and are (obviously!) sponsored by the radio station they are named after, in partnership with TF1
The category for French song of the year has five finalists on the shortlist:
Nolwenn Leroy: Tri Martolod
Mika: Elle Me Dit
Mickael Miro: L'horloge tourne
M Pokora: A Nos Actes Manqués
Elisa Tovati et Tom Dice: Il Nous Faut
An interesting selection, with non-French acts, reality TV stars, as well as celtic music in the final five.
I've covered almost all these releases in the past year on the blog, although for some reason the Mickael Miro song slipped through without a mention, despite its winning the TF1 Chanson de L'année on December 30 2011. This probably means it is the most likely to win.
It was the first single from his debut album Juste comme ça, which was released in May 2011.
The winner will be announced at the ceremony on January 28
