This Friday evening, Louane was in the running for the female artist of the year trophy (which was given to Vitaa) and for the song of the year, for The rain. Reward she received last year for Secret.
She had prepared an original performance especially for the evening. Sporting her red hair, like on the album cover Solo released last week, she sang while dancing, accompanied by several dancers, which is not her habit.
After a sprint through the audience and the corridors, the performance ended on a stage outside, in front of the Palais des Festivals in Cannes, and… under downpours of (fake) rain!
As she ran through the corridors, she continued to sing without any problem, which left little room for doubt: she was on lip sync. The performance was in fact not possible to perform while continuing to sing normally. Many Internet users regretted this playback on the networks.
“If my microphone had been on”
Louane reacted quickly on Twitter, posting a video of the performance with her voice completely out of breath and unable to sing properly and with this comment: “ Who said anything about playback lol? [mdr = mort de rire]», voilà «if my microphone had been on».
A way to fully and humorously embrace this playback, necessary for the performance as it was designed.
