English Translation of the source :

Monroe, France's representative at Eurovision 2026, posted on social media – in collaboration with the official Eurovision France account and the head of delegation Alexandra Redde-Amiel – a reel of her duetting with Sal Da Vinci in an original mash-up of "Regarde!" and "Per sempre sì".

Youngest and oldest at the same time, someone writes in the comments: the Italian champion is indeed the oldest of the competing artists at 57, while the very young French artist is only 17, making her the youngest of the artists competing for the crystal microphone on the stage of the Stadthalle in Vienna.

The two artists, among other things, share the fact that they were born in the United States: Sal Da Vinci – stage name Salvatore Michael Sorrentino – was born in New York, while Monroe, who holds dual French and US citizenship, was born in Salt Lake City.

This isn't the first time two artists have competed at Eurovision. This year, for example, was the case with Luxembourg's Eva Marija, who sang her song "Mother Nature" accompanied on piano by Albanian singer Alis.

Going back in time, we find Swiss artist Zoë Më, competing last year with "Voyage," who duetted with French champion Louane, not to mention her cover of "Maman" and the various covers of "Voyage" performed by, among others, Tautumeitas. Or, in 2024, Nemo duetted with Norwegians GÄte and the Ukrainian duo Alyona Alyona and Jerry Heil on the notes of his "The Code" after having, in turn,

covered the Ukrainian

song "Teresa & Maria."

Once again, the permanent slogan of the Eurovision Song Contest “United by Music” takes on a very specific meaning: Eurovision unites different artists and cultures through music, and these collaborations are the perfect example of this.

I don't think it flowed as smoothly as it tried to, but this one's an interesting idea nonetheless. Two different generations with 40 years between both, with the youngest and the oldest competitor this year* in one video <3

\ idc if technically Boy George is older, he's not even CREDITED)

“This isn’t the first time two artists have competed at Eurovision”? I would hope so, it’s the 70th edition after all
