Was Pierre Garnier crowned French-speaking revelation of the year and did he see her song “Those we were” triumph as French song ? Did Joseph Kamel win the trophy? duo/collab’ francophone (alongside Julien Doré for their title « Beau ») or has it become French-speaking male artist of the year ?
During the 26th edition of the NMA, the first one walked away with the two prizes, French-speaking revelation and French-speaking song. It was not the year of Joseph Kamel who did not win anything this time.
Very happy to have won two statuettes, Pierre Garnier said about “Those we were” : “It’s because of this song that I’m here. It all started at Star Academy and now this song is yours! “.
Not the only Normans
If they were the only Normans in the running to win a prize, two other natives of Normandy were in Cannes as presenters: the Rouen native Arnaud Ducret and the paratriathlete from Yvetot Alexis Hanquinquant.
