Gérard Larcher surprised everyone this Thursday in “Télématin”.
The President of the Senate gave his opinion on the supposed presence of
Aya Nakamura
during the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games - as announced by our colleagues from Le
Point
- and mentioned the lyrics of the artist's songs, which he had obviously revised it before his arrival.

TV tonight: our selection of the day
Thomas Sotto, who received the politician as part of an interview for “Les 4 vérités”, mentioned the fact that the Head of State would like to have the singer perform Edith Piaf tunes and then posed head-on to
Gérard Larcher
the question:
“Should this artist represent France on July 26 on Mondiovision?”
“
It would not have been my choice, I tell you straight away, even to sing Edith Piaf, it is a somewhat disruptive choice by the President of the Republic
,” he notes.
When I look at the text of his songs, I find that we are quite far from the representation of our country.
Also read: Benjamin Biolay: “I think Aya Nakamura singing Piaf can be beautiful!”
The journalist then relaunched the politician.
“What bothers you about his texts?”
.
“For example “Catchaca”, which is the ode to doggy style.
I am not sure that, for the veterinarian, it is the ode to an animal, I was going to say, carnivorous
,” he replied.
“The choice should have been collective”
Note that in 2018, the singer spoke about the meaning of certain words from her song
Djadja
in “La Boîte à questions” on Canal+.
She thus revealed that Djadja was a man who talked nonsense, in short, a liar.
She also explained what “En catchana” means (the President of the Senate got the word wrong):
“It’s a sexual position whose name I won’t say
,” she declared.
An outing which apparently amused Thomas Sotto:
“In any case, you have a good command of Aya Nakamura’s repertoire…”
, he reacted.
Gérard Larcher then explained his knowledge.
“I went to look pretty closely since my own children were asking me the question and I went to see.
Good..."
.
The President of the Senate then concluded the interview by explaining how he would have chosen the person who will sing during the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
“The Olympic Games, I participated in them, it was in Montreal.
It’s a moment of unity, a moment of joy, a moment of coming together, I believe that the choice should have been collective.”
