After the passage of Cyprien Zéni, spotted in season 10 of The Voice, Nicoletta explained very kindly and with chosen words that the song perhaps lacked rhythm for Eurovision: “He has an extraordinary voice but finally, he don’t forget that it’s the song that speaks… I think that at times, you lose the sense of the melody a bit.It’s very rhythmic, it’s very effective but it can perhaps be filling. ..””
It was indeed a question of choosing the candidate who was going to represent France, during this great live broadcast and as a bonus.
But the words of Nicoletta do not have any more to singer Yseult who was part of the jury. The former New Star contestant found the criticism unfair and unjustified and stood up to ask the public to support her.
“”It’s a no. I’m not agree. The voice ? She’s there, do we agree or not?” Asked the singer, turning to the audience. “But she didn’t say otherwise! “, tried to temper the host Laurence Boccolini, cut once again by Yseult: “The charisma, the dance, were there. The rhythm? Brothers and sisters ?”
“Okay, come on. It’s going to end in a general fight!”, concluded Laurence Boccolini
