New feat for Benoît in Don’t forget the lyrics. Wednesday January 8, 2025, the candidate, after another victory, entered the top 3 of Maestros. Laurens, in second place, spoke on his social networks after this entry.
It’s official, Benoît marked the show by winning third place for the best Maestros in Don’t forget the lyrics! In just over a month, this incredible candidate has accumulated victories and gains. Arriving on December 2, 2024, he climbed the ranks until settling on the podium on January 8, 2025, after 62 resounding victories. With an impressive jackpot of 426,000 euros, he now surpasses Kevin and his 410,000 euros (43 victories) as well as Caroline, who held 416,000 euros (56 victories). Benoît proved that his journey was unique, rising among the legends of the show hosted by Nagui.
“It’s starting to heat up for me”
This feat left no one indifferent, notably the former Maestros… and even less Laurens, the current second greatest Maestro who has 457,000 euros in winnings on the clock, and who is damn afraid of being overtaken, as he made it known in an Instagram story this Wednesday, January 8, 2025: “Good, good, good… it’s starting to heat up for me. Well done again Benoît, you’re stunning and so touching. Can’t wait to see what’s next tomorrow!” But he is not the only one to have reacted. Caroline, now ejected from the podium, also wanted to send a message full of admiration to Benoît: “Ohlala, here I am outside the podium…A huge congratulations to Benoît who never ceases to impress both by the passion with which he sings and by the extent of his knowledge! What work.”
A dream beyond his expectations
Benoît, for his part, is still struggling to achieve his meteoric rise. In an interview given this January 8, 2025 to TV Newshe confided in his emotions: “I didn’t expect it at all. I burst into tears when I walked onto the podium, releasing all the pressure.” Still on cloud nine, he explained to us: “It’s the result of two years of hard work, and it’s just pure joy.” However, its initial ambition was much more modest: “It wasn’t even one of my wildest dreams. When I started revising, my ambition was to reach 300,000 euros. But the more I revised, the lower my dreams were. I just wanted to enjoy each show and see where it took me. It took me all the way to third place and that’s huge.” Today, with a deserved third place, Benoît is experiencing a consecration that he would never have dared to imagine.
