Nominated for the French-speaking song of the year, Amir attempted a daring staging.
His dancers gave him a haircut while performing his song “Sommet”.
His astonishing performance can be (re)watched on TF1+.
It’s one of the songs that the French have heard the most this summer. Chosen as the theme song for the Olympic and Paralympic Games by France Télévisions, Amir’s “Sommet” reached a wide audience until being nominated this Friday, November 1 during the 26th edition of the NRJ Music Awards on TF1. The singer revealed by “The Voice” had promised a performance like no other but a very clever person could have guessed what was going to happen on the stage of the Palais des Festivals in Cannes.
I don’t even know if the cut is… Ohlala, that’s weird!
Amir
Coming to perform this piece, nominated in the “French-speaking song of the year” category, Amir took over the scenography of his clip. The same taupe outfit for him and his dancers, who came with an unexpected accessory. Because in the middle of his performance, two of them took out an electric razor and very much refreshed the former dentist’s haircut.
“I don’t even know if the cut is… Oh my, that’s weird!”Amir reacts, touching his freshly shaved head. “The NRJ Music Awards are freedom. It’s the artistic proposition, we’re going far, in fact, we’re going to the top! And again, I have the impression that we’re going to have to do more strong for the years to come”he explains. A bold choice that has not stopped getting people talking.
