The rumor concerning the possible participation of Aya Nakamura in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games divides the French. Since the name of the singer was mentioned, reactions have been flowing both on social networks and on the sets.
This Thursday, May 2, 2024, it was the turn of Pierre Billon, the musical director of Mask Singer, to express his point of view. Although he appreciates the artist’s talent, he disapproves of the politicization of this decision. “ I love this singer, I really like her songs. We dissected them because we made them for Mask Singer sometimes and when we dissect them, we realize that they’re really good“, he confides on the set of the show Jordan’s.
And to continue: “ But I wouldn’t want it to be political. It’s definitely going to be political, people are going to say: ‘it’s not right to do it’. It’s still pitting people against each other, it’s a huge bullshit.“
Aya Nakamura in Francky Vincent’s viewfinder
This is not the first time that a guest of Jordan De Luxe has given his opinion on the interpreter of Djadja. On April 18, Francky Vincent violently attacked the young woman. “ We go from Aya Nakamura to Édith Piaf in relation to such an event? At that moment Francky Vincent singing Vas’y the Olympic Games it’s good that would do it“, he said before adding: “ I find it very shocking“.
“ The Olympic Games are still every four years. When we hold the Olympic Games in the United States or in any country, we try to showcase someone who certainly has notoriety, but who also has crazy talent. Imagine we’re doing this in Quebec, in Canada, it’s Céline Dion who will sing. In the United States it’s Beyoncé. In France it’s Aya Nakamura? It’s a big joke…“, lamented the singer named Knight of Arts and Letters in December 2022.
Outraged by this decision, he also suggested succeeding the star: “ If it was me it would be better. Why wouldn’t I sing this song by Edith Piaf? Plus I have a crooner’s voice, I could do it“. And to conclude: “ Excuse me but singers are like cars, there are Ferraris, there are Clios, Twingos. For singers who have skill and charisma it’s a Twingo“. Words which did not fail to provoke a reaction…
