The singer with the golden voice is not totally unknown to the television panorama… Indeed, he had made himself known in the mythical tele-hook of the New starmoreover, in the same promotion as Amel Bent, who took over the red armchairs of The Voice as a coach.

Amel Bent in shock
More than 15 years after his first participation in a talent show, Charles Cattaert is today father of a little boy named Lucien.

It is therefore for this reason that this courageous father decided to participate in the program by interpreting Leave me a place of Julien Clerc, far from being part of Léa’s repertoire in the Star Ac‘. An emotional sequence to allow this dad to make the association known “Lulu’s little bubble” founded by the candidate and his wife and to raise funds. If the performance did not convince the jury, it did however have the merit of moving Amelia Bent to whom he wished to address a particular word : “I would like to say a few words to Amel becausewe shared a great adventure together on a show that revealed you. Charles we did the adventure together” he revealed under the dumbfounded gaze of the coach who obviously had trouble refreshing his memory. “But wait it’s not you? But wait, we were 17. It’s not possible. Amazing” she replied taken aback before hugging her comrade. A nice sequence that will remain engraved in the memories.
