The rest after the ad
This is one of the performances that made sensation during the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games in July 2024. While everyone thought she was going to cover a title by Edith Piaf, Aya Nakamura proposed a mix between her titles Pookie et Djadja with the emblematic For Me Formidable by Charles Aznavour. A success according to Mischa Aznavour, one of the singer's children. To our colleagues at La Voix du nord, he assured: “We are very happy“. And to indicate that his famous father “would have liked.” On the choice to revisit Charles Aznavour's song, he clarified: “Singing his songs again like him has no point. It's like Molière, if we want it to continue to speak to people. We can't be backward-looking.” Aya Nakamura had to bear the brunt of numerous criticisms, particularly on the modernization of Aznavour's title but also on her fiercely criticized look.
Guest on the set of C to youThursday November 28, she returned to this experience in front of Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine and told l’“confusion” at the center of which she found herself. Indeed, while rumors claimed that she was going to cover Edith Piaf, the singer had to face a completely different debate behind the scenes. A few weeks before shining on the Pont des Arts, it was Place Vendôme that a privileged few were able to see the star perform. The mother of two attended the Vogue World show in a stunning brown outfit and singing to the delight of guests. The problem? The organizers of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games were not really up for it… “I decided to do it but before going there was a problem with the Olympics because I had to be exclusively at the Olympics”, she first explained on France 5. Then detailed: “The Olympics didn't want me to do the Vogue event. SO Anna Wintour discussed with them because I had to.”
Aya Nakamura finds a compromise
Aya Nakamura was finally able to participate in both events, although not without difficulty. “Basically, I had to sing Edith Piaf during the Vogue evening, and not at the Olympics. So when there were controversies, I told myself that if I participated in the fashion show, I would not sing La vie en rose but a song of my own. Like that, the Olympic committee was happy […] Anyway, a whole mess around that”, she regretted.
Faced with Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine, she also spoke about how she combines her career and her life as mother of Aïcha and Ava. “It was complicated for a woman to do two things at once. I felt a lot of anxiety, when you have children and you're a woman, it's impossible to work. Sometimes we feel guilty.”she admitted. Then to conclude, proud of not having given up: “I hurt myself to be able to move forward and have confidence in myself. It's possible to be a mother and sing, I've been doing it for almost 10 years!”.
