Chance of the staging, subliminal message sent to viewers? Anne Sila and MB14, favorites of this premiere of "The Voice All Stars", both appeared immediately at the top of a scaffolding, with the other four candidates at their feet. And three hours later, it's no surprise the 31-year-old singer who won loudly - with 37.5% of the votes - this anniversary season of TF1's tele-hook. A well-deserved victory (ahead of Louis Delort, 20.8%, and MB14, 20.6%) after seven broadcasts and a final of good performance without being exceptional, recorded Friday evening under live conditions - for good reason of Mika's symphonic concert at the same time at the Philharmonie de Paris - but completed this Saturday live for the announcement of the public's votes in the presence of all the coaches,including Mika in his concert box.
Difficult to speak of suspense as Anne Sila folded the match from her first performance, after twenty minutes.
On paper, however, we did not expect much from an umpteenth version of “When we only have love”.
Even in a duet with Nolwenn Leroy.
But their voices are marvelously married and they have made this Jacques Brel monument a "magnificent mountain", to quote Florent Pagny.
MB14 misses an appointment
Conversely, we expected a lot from the rereading of "Show Must Go On" by MB14, who had succeeded a week earlier such a powerful and singular cover of Led Zeppelin. But this time, we were disappointed by the whimsical bearded man, who had a hard time climbing Queen Mountain, especially in the treble. He finished his forehead sweaty, puffing. A few seconds later, alongside a very lively Nikos Aliagas, he was more comfortable and convincing as “official imitator” of Florent Pagny.
"They can all win" predicted the dean of the coaches.
“Little Manon,” 18, a surprise guest of the finale, sent in a very pro version of the new James Bond theme sung by Billie Eilish, but the costume was too big for her and her idol Amel Bent on their duet.
Terence James tied the knot with Ed Sheeran on his latest hit “Bad Habits” and delivered “a final performance” on Elton John's “Your Song”.
But as Mika reproached him in rehearsals, the tall blond was perhaps still too "cute" to win this Saturday night.
Jenifer upset by Amalya
Two nice moments of complicity, Amalya and Clara Luciani pulled out a "grenade" which made the coaches explode and dance. And Louis Delort and his former coach Garou, as a duo on “Belle”, were joined by Patrick Fiori. The former Phébus of the musical could not help but "unscrew" to join them on stage. “An unforgettable moment” for the young Delort. Just like the version of "All By Myself" for Amalya and her coach Jenifer, upset. "This is probably the last time I'm in this red chair and it makes sense," announced a Jenifer between two sobs. We did our first season together ten years ago. We built ourselves a bit together. And it's kind of all those feelings that she managed to express in this song. "
Back in a duet with the generous Soprano - also a former TF1 tele-hook coach -, MB14 was much more at ease as a rapper and beatboxer hopping on the hit “Clown”. "I'm so happy that we can show these young people who know how to do everything", praised Soprano. MB14 had a blast with a quick rap. "I think Eminem is shaking" Soprano told him ... Anne Sila, she did not tremble on "Creep" by Radiohead. Here again, a tube a thousand times picked up in the tele-hooks. But as the lyrics of this classic from the English group say, this singer is "fucking special". So much above the lot this season, despite a magnificent last performance by Louis Delort covering "Fix You", one of the most beautiful songs of Coldplay. Patrick Fiori was also moved to tears."Louis is a little the heart of men all by himself".
But the five coaches were already all convinced.
Unusually silent and sluggish during the recording - except during a good laugh with Nikos Aliagas in traditional Greek dress and freewheeling - Mika summed up their feeling with sensitivity.
“What touches me is that you believe in it less than Florent (Editor's note: his coach), he confessed in substance to Anne Sila.
How can a girl who is so talented and works so much not believe it!
"After her final lost in the 4th season of The Voice, Anne Sila just hoped to win this year" to see Florent happy ".
As soon as his victory was announced, they fell into each other's arms.
The joy of one and the tears of the other were a pleasure to see.
