Minouche Barelli (born Mary-Pierre Barelli) was a French singer who represented Monaco in the Eurovision Song Contest 1967 in Vienna with the song "Boum badaboum", which finished in fifth place.
In June 1966 Barelli took part in the Rose de France song festival in Antibes, which is also known as Rose d'Or music festival. She performed "Goualante 67" from her newly released EP. Barelli was one of 30 participants and she did not manage to take the winning place. First place went to Jacqueline Dulac. Second place went to Line and Willy who represented Monaco at Eurovision 1968.
In 1980 Barelli took part in the selection process for the French Eurovision entry with the song "Viens dans ma farandole", which only finished sixth in the second semi-final.
Barelli, a long-time announcer for Radio Montmartre, took out Monegasque citizenship in 2002 and died in the principality on 20 February 2004 at the age of 56.
