Jean-Alexandre Beaudin on guitar, Marie-Pierre Bellefeuille on keyboard and Liu Kong Ha on percussion accompanied Marie-Mai on her new versions ofTake me or To lie. As an example, a few phones lit up on It’s me – something that would obviously have been impossible on the piece of Version 3.0.
“It feels good to take the time to sing songs,” said the artist, for whom this show is an “opportunity to dig into his repertoire”.
Throughout the evening, the singer challenged her audience, made up of adults – these young people she has seen grow up over the years – but also children and adolescents.
In front of this receptive audience, which sang and applauded all the time, Marie-Mai returned to the pandemic and certain topical issues. Emotional, eyes in the water, she also addressed her questioning, her “detours”, her “sacrifices” and the trials she had to face in recent years.
“If I had listened to people telling me I couldn’t have a career, I wouldn’t be here in front of you tonight. […] It’s worth believing in your dreams, ”she said to“ young and old “in the room.
In short, if it is true that the young and old spectators perhaps danced a little less this time than during previous tours, they nevertheless attended the performance of a calm, calm Marie-Mai, in full swing. possession of her means and terribly confident. A Marie-Mai more powerful than ever.
With the addition of an improvised a cappella finale (One more night), Marie-Mai created a “FEQ moment” as we like them.
