"
It's a crazy thing to do concerts like that on TV."
He moves on
featherweight heart
, forehead beaded with sweat, drums and bass in tune.
Hervé, a “male revelation” at the last Victoires de la Musique, seems to be accommodating the emptiness of Mogador, a theater transformed into a concert hall for viewers.
The musician takes the stage on Monday evening for the launch of Culturebox, the former France Televisions website transformed into an ephemeral channel which, on TNT channel 19, wants to
"reconnect artists with their audience".
The project received support from the Ministry of Culture.
On the set, Roselyne Bachelot nods:
“It's a wish that I welcomed with enthusiasm.
"
Before recognizing:
"But nothing can replace the contact we have in a performance hall."
The evening begins with a countdown a bit pompous, at 8:35 pm, in the spirit of variety shows of the Pompidolian years, when the small screen had two channels.
And that the CSA, represented here by its president, Roch-Olivier Maistre, did not exist.
Delphine Ernotte, the boss of France Télé tries to be relaxed, speaks of this antenna dedicated to live performance as "
a little crazy idea".
Even.
"I know you are there, I can feel you"
Apple
Falling bangs and blue and white jumpsuit, melancholy voice, Suzanne comes forward.
At 30, the electro-pop revelation unfolds its catchy melodies, with its false accents of Angela and a jerky rhythm à la Stromae.
"I'm going to act like in concert, I'm going to drink water,"
she said before leaving the screen.
The applause and the dancing crowd are missing.
Nostalgia for the world before.
The production tries to find this energy once brought by the audience.
The scene is filmed from all angles.
From behind the scenes, slanted shots and an effective light show reveal the balconies of the room where Mistinguett will be successful, especially with his show
Ça, c'est parisien
.
Presented by Daphné Bürki and comedian Raphäl Yem, this launch party puts the spotlight on the new French scene.
Yseult, revealed by the “Nouvelle Star” in 2014, the artist Pomme and Terrenoire, the two brothers from Saint-Etienne complete the poster.
On stage, Apple, precisely, sings
Song for my depressed love
, sad and elegiac.
Requiem for a live?
"I know you're there, I can feel you
,
" she
slips into the microphone.
Strange feeling to see these artists waiting for a reaction from the public that does not come.
At the age of 24, the folk singer continues not without sparing her effects.
She takes her time.
Dare the silence, which TV is so afraid of, between two titles.
The Finistérien Hervé is happy, visibly relieved.
"It is quickly a quagmire that case
,
" he
blurted out before leaving the stage.
This concert was neither a “quagmire”, nor a “crazy thing” to use the singer's expression.
Not a stopgap either.
Rather a generous light on developing artists as we say in the jargon.
A “Taratata” without Nagui which, in the absence of madness, has brought a breath of fresh air to our screens.
Until better ...
