Since the broadcast of "Mask Singer", Cyril Hanouna and his team have not been kind to the show, understanding neither the target it is aimed at nor its principle.
Amaury Vassili, winner in the costume of the turtle, accepted the invitation of "Touche pas mon à poste!"
to clarify some questions.
He took the opportunity to reveal the reasons that led him to put on his costume.
"The goal for me was to be that turtle, not the singer.
Anyway, we don't see you so if you do it for the notoriety that it can generate for you, it's not the best show, ”
he explains.

Newly dad of a 15 month old little boy, Amaury Vassili reveals that in reality, his son was his only motivation to participate in the program.
Being a father
“develops new emotions, emotions that I did not know”
.
This desire to slip into the skin of a turtle is very clearly motivated by the possibility, in two years, of showing this video to his child.
“Given my performances, he will be happy to see that I am hiding under the turtle.
Because my clips, he doesn't care
, ”jokes the singer.
He takes the opportunity to answer the questions that columnists ask about the target audience of the program.
“This show is made for kids.
The goal is to make
the audience
on this target and the reality is that we are number one on this target of children.
3 million people is not nothing.
And among them there are some from your audience, ”
he defends, specifying that he did not come on the set to be fooled.
“The fact is that this show, I made it for my son, for all children. I received lots of videos and when I see the kids stressed out waiting for the answer, “it's the turtle” and there it explodes with joy, I only did it for that”
.
The financial motivation has of course been addressed but this is not the case for the artist who produces his own albums and clips.
"I just did it because I needed to do something fun, something that would make me happy and that I could show my son.
Money is good but it is not essential for this kind of program.
I probably wouldn't have won if I had done it for the money."
