With his new song, "Roi" (King), French-Moroccan Bilal Hassani ranked first place in France's selection competition's semi-finals outperforming the other three semi-finalists. It is all thanks to Hassani's song that promotes love and tolerance and rejects hate and homophobia. Although the 19-year-old singer continues to receive harsh criticism online, mainly due to his sexual orientation, he performed with exceptional confidence at the contest.
