Alexina sends her application to believe it too much but a few days later surprise: she is selected by Jarry to participate in her contest on the social network Instagram: “At the time, I said to myself it’s a joke. Quite simply because I am never called back when I send my application” says the singer. The Angevin comedian is looking for one or more artists to perform his first parts during the tour of his one man show “Titre”. The singer is now in the final.
“I am surprised”
Alexina welcomes us in “his secret room” as she says, in the midst of her sequined dresses, her makeup, her shoes and her piano. It is here that she performed live on Instagram after submitting her application to Jarry: _ “Four days later, I received a message telling me that I was selected” _explains- he.
After her selection, she must prepare in two days for her passage. She is then in competition with three other performers. Thanks to her performance, a cover of Prince’s Purple Rain, she tops the Internet users’ vote:“I am surprised that so many people voted. That said, I harassed my friends a bit” the singer laughs. The next step for Alexina is therefore the grand finale, always live on Instagram. This time, you’ll have to sing a song from her repertoire. Alexina Lebon will perform a piece on domestic violence entitled “L’emprise” and composed by the Carcassonne Dominique de Witte.
I’m already Jarry on social media so I was super happy – Alexina Lebon
Other candidates will follow one another during the qualifications. Alexina will then face the winners of these qualifications.
A 25-year career
Now 35, the Perigord singer is ready to follow the comedian on his tour “even though I retired as a singer” confides the one who became known at the Truffle competition in Périgueux. “It falls while I said I was stopping everything but it does not matter. This is a big opportunity” she says.
In 25 years of career, she sent numerous candidatures for castings but they often went unheeded: ” I no longer send out applications for castings but I have already done it like all the singers: Nouvelle Star, The Voice. But I have a real problem with people looking me straight in the eye. Suddenly I don’t know how to do anything anymore “ she laughs.
