VIDEOS – On the occasion of the music festival on Friday, the singer was invited to the journalist’s radio show for two memorable lives. The CNews star encountered some difficulties getting on the air.
It was the improbable meeting of the music festival: the one between Pascal Praud And Afida Turner . This Friday, June 21, in his midday show on Europe 1, the journalist received the singer, revealed around twenty years ago in “Loft Story” on M6 under the name Leslie. Even the daughter of the star presenter of CNews, Lou, was impatient at the idea of listening to this unprecedented face-to-face. “Looking forward to hearing you speak with Afida Turner», she sent him a few hours earlier. “She takes me for an old man», quips Praud.
“I point out that you are all leather», underlines Pascal Praud upon discovering Afida Turner in his studio. “There’s even the whip!», she adds. Another physical detail does not go unnoticed by the journalist. “Those are nails…he notes. It takes time for them to grow or it’s additions“. “These are additions, it’s to scratch you better», Confirms the person concerned.

Afida Turner came to perform the global hit Simply the Best, in tribute to Tina Turner, her ex-mother-in-law who died on May 24, 2023 in Switzerland. “Do I wear the helmet or without a helmet?“, she asks before singing. “So I can’t help you with that», replies Pascal Praud. “So, I’m going to drink my little coffee», declared the guest. “IPlease, it’s whatever you want, we’re in no rush“, he quips. The soundtrack ends up starting and Afida Turner pushes the ditty over the voice of the original performer, between false notes and a missed bridge. Laughter is heard in the studio.
Visibly abrupt in her movements after her live performance, Afida Turner is caught by Pascal Praud. “If you don’t want to break everything… We only have one armchair per season and we have few cushionshe warns. Are you okay, aren’t you too tired, too exhausted?», still worries the presenter of “Heure des pros”. “I would have liked to sing more, it’s still a music festival.” Afida reacts before saying: “Pascal, you’re simply the best!» and start again in an a cappella chorus. Moment of hesitation when the regular on reality TV sets wants the director to broadcast his new piece on the air. But not hearing her song coming, she decides to play it herself through her phone which she places near the microphone. “Very clearly, Afida has taken power in our show, I have the impression that she is a woman of character», summarizes Pascal Praud.
And it’s impossible to let Afida Turner go without making her sing “Barbichette Song”, performed in the last season of “LOL: who laughs, get out!” on Prime Video. In the final episode, the artist appeared in the studio to tickle the smiles of Audrey Lamy and Redouane Bougheraba, the two finalists of season 4. The Marseille comedian had also faltered when Afida approached a little too close to him. When the music sounds in the Europe 1 studio, the singer regrets: “It’s not the good version but hey“. “We’re going to get yelled at eventually…», comments Praud who will have a hard time returning the air after his guest’s new live performance. “Thank you for this moment of sweetness. Unfortunately, there is a show following ours“. “Pascal, Pascal, oh hold on!», Cuts Afida Turner screaming and parodying the title Etienne. A live performance that Pascal Praud will remember for a long time.
