Defeat has a bitter taste in the mouth of the singer of “Salty Popcorn”. Nominated in two categories for the 2024 “NRJ Music Awards”, including song of the year, Santa did not leave with any statuette from Cannes, where the ceremony took place this Friday, November 1. However, she had put all the chances on her side by literally igniting the stage of the Palais des Festivals during her performance on the song “Recommence-moi”, the anthem of the current “Star Academy” promotion. Dressed in armor, torch in hand, the 33-year-old singer zip-lined down the red carpet before beginning her vocal performance. A show as spectacular as that offered by Amir, performed live by his dancers.
Santa “disgusted” not to have been rewarded
But TF1 viewers preferred the sobriety of Pierre Garnier to the surprising proposals of the two artists, who returned empty-handed from the Côte d'Azur. Because Santa was also beaten by Vitaa in the “French-speaking female artist of the year” category. The day after the verdict, she did not hold back from sharing her disappointment by publishing a voice message on her Instagram channel. “I wanted to send you a little memo to thank you for mobilizing so much for the NMA. We tell ourselves, we are a little disgusted, but we will continue to hack when the system does not want us“, she tackled. And continued in the same tone: “We hack it, we bypass it. I will try and continue to give the best performances and set fire everywhere. I kiss you very much.”
