LE FIGARO - You have been applying for around eight years, where does this determination come from to participate in “The Voice”?
Noah GAILLARD.
- I've been watching this show since I was little, since Slimane's victory, it was my main objective.
People even came to me for other things, but I favored “The Voice”.
It's a goal for me.
I knew that when I reached my full potential, I would be able to do this show.
I also made a promise, when I was 14, to someone who is no longer here today.
I held it while doing “The Voice.”
Why did you choose to sing
Fears
of Slimane during the blind auditions?
In this song, there were so many things that corresponded to my life and my journey, whether musically or humanly.
I discovered this song very late but, as soon as I read the lyrics, it clicked.
You've talked about
the "titanic influence
" your little brother has on your life.
Did you do this audition for him?
Of course I did it for him.
He does not realise.
I also see my little brother in the song, how much I love him, how much I fear for him, for the future.
I sang for myself and for him.
On his birthday, I wrote him a letter, to tell him everything I thought of him.
He's amazing, he's a big inspiration to me.
I am proud to be his brother.
What was your feeling when you finally arrived on the stage of “The Voice”?
I was very stressed on the premises and behind the scenes while I was waiting.
But, once on stage, I no longer had any stress.
I so wanted to go there and sing.
I was filled with so many emotions, I already wanted to cry.
Arrived on stage, it went straight!
Even if they didn't turn around, my goal was to prove to myself that I could do it.
“Even in my wildest dreams, it couldn’t have gone better”
Noah Gaillard
What goes through your mind when you see the four chairs turned over?
Having the four coaches in front of me, I asked myself how it was possible, it was lunar.
I was as if under a influence, I forgot everything, including their comments on my performance!
Even in my wildest dreams, it couldn't have gone better.
I thought about everything this moment entails, about the me from eight years ago saying,
"Okay, we'll try to do this
. "
I thought of my brother and my parents who must be proud.
It was a liberation for me.
After this emotion, you chose to work with Vianney...
Even if Vianney corresponds more to my guitar-vocal style, I had not made my decision in advance.
There have been a lot of signs in its favor in fact!
First, I had to play with my guitar but it no longer suited me so they gave me a Vianney edition guitar.
Then he was the first to turn around.
And, finally, he took me in his arms when I cried... That's why I chose him, I no longer had any doubts at that moment.
Do you realize that you are finally on “The Voice”?
I was so focused on my audition that I forgot there was a sequel!
It's already an incredible adventure.
With the staff and the candidates, we formed unforgettable bonds.
The world doesn't know that we're all in the same hotel, working on our songs and spending time together.
“The Voice” made me meet some very precious friends.
I think I'll finally realize what's happening to me when I see myself on television.
I put myself in the place of myself as a child, who saw others passing by.
And this time, it's me.
I think I'm going to get a big slap there.
