What would be Nocturnal Confessions without Diam's? Probably not a cult piece. And vice versa with the absence of Vitaa. Indeed, this song released in 2006 has survived the years and is still as successful as ever. So much so that the 41-year-old singer continues to perform it when she has the opportunity, in concert or this Friday, November 1, 2024 on the stage of NRJ Music Awards.
Indeed, in the running in the French-speaking female artist of the year category, the interpreter of Game Over was at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes to take part in the ceremony rewarding French-speaking and international artists.
Facing Santa, Louane, Aya Nakamura, and Zaho de Sagazan, Vitaa won the prize for French-speaking female artist of the year. Very surprised, Slimane's acolyte could not hold back her tears when she walked onto the stage of the Palais des Festivals to receive her Award. After regaining her emotions, she was able to deliver a speech filled with emotion in which she thanked her audience, her teams, and a woman who means a lot to her: Diam's.
Vitaa, “nothing” without its audience
However, before addressing his “sister”, the 41-year-old artist expressed his surprise at receiving an award. “I tell you the truth, I’m shocked. I didn’t think I’d be here tonight”she admitted before continuing: “Every year I say to myself ‘would I have the chance to be on stage next year?’. Why? Because it’s a job full of uncertainty”.
However, Vitaa ensures that it has certainty: “I've been here for 20 years and if I'm here, I swear it's not only thanks to the work, it's not the entourage or the albums… It's the public. Thank you very much”.
Diam's and its significant impact on his career
Following his speech, Slimane's acolyte wanted to thank all the “people who come [la] see the evening in concert.” “Thank you to all the people there every evening, it's crazy. You sing songs that I wrote in 2003, 2004, I'm fascinated”she continued, admiring the passion of her audience.
Aware that without Diam's, her career would perhaps not have enjoyed the success it enjoys today, Vitaa finally concluded: “Tonight I would like to have a special thought for Mélanie Diam's even if she is not here. Even if she is not there, in my heart she is there all the time”. A message that will touch the main person concerned.
