Singer Philippe Katerine caused a sensation this Thursday on the France Inter morning show, where he came to present his new column, naked.
The song is called Notalso, it is naked that Philippe Katerine came to interpret it in the morning show of France Inter this Thursday. The singer, who will host a column there every Thursday at 8:55, had therefore chosen to undress to deliver his very first mood piece, this Thursday, August 29.
“The management offered me this position and asked me to sing my song naked. And it’s true that I can’t bring myself to sing this song dressed. So it’s extremely painful, not just for me. It would seem ridiculous to me to be dressed,” he said in the preamble.
This nod to the title of his song was also a nod to his much-discussed and criticized performance at the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games on July 26. Philippe Katerine appeared there with his body painted blue, and wearing only a belt and a crown of flowers. It was as a blue Dionysus that he performed this song.
An “experimental” summer
His performance earned him criticism and was even censored in some countries. “It would be boring if there were no controversies,” the singer reacted the day after the event. Then, in an interview with CNN, he apologized to the people who were shocked by the show.
“I am sorry if it has been shocking because that was not the intention at all. I was raised in the Christian religion and the most beautiful thing in this religion is forgiveness. So I ask for forgiveness if I have offended. The Christians of the world will grant it to me, I am sure, and will understand that it was above all a misunderstanding.”
He has also become a star in China, where the sequence has been widely repurposed and his character revisited in the form of a dessert.
Referring humorously to the aftermath of the affair in his column on France Inter, Philippe Katerine recounted his summer with his family and the public’s reactions.
“So I had a summer, how to say, experimental, that’s what I would say. Fabulous but experimental. First, I exhibited myself, in fact, painted blue in front of 2 billion people, for the Olympics. Then I became a dessert, in China, you can look it up on the Internet.”
Adding mischievously: “Otherwise, in general, people were still adorable with me, it must be said. They said to me “bravo, bravo for the Olympics”. As if I had won a gold medal.”
