Coach Marc Lavoine expected more, and he made it plain to two of his "talents".
This Saturday evening, the third and last evening of the test of the “battles” of “The Voice” on TF1 was marked by a stroke of brilliance on the part of the artist, who did not hide his nervousness.
And it is the duo formed by Clara and Zacharie that provoked it.
At first, the singer of "Toi, mon amour" chose to ask his two students to work on the hit "Comment est ta penalty" by Benjamin Biolay… in front of the interpreter in person, who came to help him "as a friend. On coaching.
The first moments of rehearsals already suggest the worst, despite some flashes.
"You are not aware of what you send", encourages them Marc Lavoine, as a good trainer.

When the time comes, however, nothing goes as planned on the big stage of the TF1 plateau.
Dreaded with stage fright, the two candidates deliver a lackluster performance, punctuated by problems of accuracy and placement.
The camera on Marc Lavoine's face leaves little doubt about his assessment.
But no one can imagine his skin reaction.
"I speak to you sincerely: I am angry, because with this song, there is an atmosphere of tragedy, as if we were entering a film, he says at the end of the title, his face closed .
You sang, but it is not enough to sing and I am very pissed off, lost and absolutely not sure what to do.
He sits up, annoyed, in his red chair.
"When you're an artist, you have to go totally"
It was the turn of his acolytes to speak.
“We are lucky to sing in front of millions of people, we have to free ourselves even if it means wallowing.
Something must happen, ”continues Vianney.
“We would have liked more energy,” adds Amel Bent.
“I really expected from you what you gave me on stage or in rehearsals, Zachary.
I thought I was going to see you take your place, Marc Lavoine gets carried away.
You made my knee slack.
As for you, Clara, I was also expecting a lot more.
This is good, but when you're an artist, you have to go totally.
You haven't been there.
I'm not angry at all, but I have to tell you.
"
"You look a little bit anyway," slips Florent Pagny laughing, before letting him resume.
"Do not be afraid, fear does not avoid danger, and you did not go," he finished.
I'm sorry to say this because I'm usually a nice person.
»In a breath without conviction, the singer chooses Clara.
"He's going, Daddy, tonight," concludes Nikos Aliagas.
It's fascinating what happened: I have never seen Marc Lavoine like that in the two years he has been a coach.
That cold, tender anger of a man who expected more.
A moment without tongue in cheek of instinctive sincerity.
