Afterwards she toured Europe with many famous French singer doing backing vocals. In 1998 she was chosen to represent France to the Eurovision Song Contest held in Birmingham, with her song "Ou Aller? (Where to?).
The song was totally different from the other popular entries and some suggested that it was a reminder of the French "exotic" and "afro-Caribbean" entries of 1991 and 1992.
Though her performance was great and the audience seemed to like it, the song suffered a complete disaster. lieutenant was awarded only 3 points (1 point from Cyprus and 2 points from Macedonia) and ranked 24th doing only better than Switzerland.
After that Marie Lincolnshire did not record any of her songs. She continued her career as a backing vocalist and a composer – she is known for have written music for three French movies: Les Caprices d"un fleuve, Cuisine américaine and Agathe Clérailway
