This Sunday, November 10, Julien Doré was invited to 8:30 p.m. Sunday on France 2. The singer returned to his beginnings and his audition in New Star which was not easy.
An audition he will never forget. Julien Doré is today an accomplished artist. He is releasing a brand new album entitled Imposteur and is preparing a tour throughout France to the delight of his many fans. But it was thanks to a famous television show that he made his singing debut. In fact, the man who is now a father took part in 2007 in New Star and his audition remains a memorable moment of telecrochet. Guest in 8:30 p.m. Sunday this November 10, he spoke about his first stint in telecrochet.
Julien Doré admits to having had “shame” of his hearing in New Star
During his first appearance on television, the young singer arrived full of ambition in front of the Nouvelle Star jury, his ukulele in hand. However, Marianne James asked him to sing without his instrument, but Julien Doré had not planned this and was fired without being able to sing. Fortunately, Virginie Efira convinced him to return before the jury. Today, he admits that he still wonders if he could have had the career he has now if he had refused to return to singing. “It's a question I sometimes dream about at night. Because I don't feel upset at all about being rejected from the casting at that moment, but I'm a little ashamed of myself. I'm ashamed of not having been able to answer: 'Of course, I'll put down my instrument'. I had nothing coming to me“, he confided.
Julien Doré talks about his stress in New Star
At the time, the singer was insecure and would never have returned to the audition room without Virginie Efira, with whom he is now friends. “I was stressed, terrified, obviously, as one can be in front of cameras. And I was actually ashamed when I walked through the door and fortunately Virginie, through her words, reassured me. And there's something that clicks and I think of a song, In favor of autumn by Tété and I say to myself: I think I can do a verse, a chorus“, told Julien Doré. This is where the story of the man who is a star of French song began.
