Florent Pagny has had a profound impact on French song over the years. At the head of a successful career that spans four decades, he is at the origin of numerous hits such as Know how to love or Sing again. With his voice and his temperament, he conquered the hearts of his fans. They also appreciate an atypical personality that oscillates between kindness and implacable frankness.
During his life, he experienced good times and bad times. A few years ago, he revealed that he was suffering from lung cancer. Since then, the artist has continued to take care of himself. Closely monitored, he pays close attention to his state of health and prefers to surround himself with caring people. If the singer is known to be loved by his peers, the singer doesn't just have friends in the French musical world.
Florent Pagny attacks Julien Doré
In the columns of Télécâble Sat Hebdo, Florent Pagny complimented Matt Pokora while criticizing Olivia Ruiz and Julien Doré: “I had met Matt on sets, and unlike certain artists of the younger generation like Olivia Ruiz or Julien Doré, he is very polite”said the 62-year-old artist. And to add: “He came to greet me kindly. He’s nice, he knows his subject and he’s a hit.” These confidences resemble comments made at the RFM microphone two years earlier.
Florent Pagny attacked Julien Doré: “A guy like Julien Doré, he’s really a guy not nice from not nice“, he explained. And to explain: “There are plenty of them like that, but I owe him one, so I'm going to give it to him regularly. (…) He's not nice, that's his deep nature. It's true. Afterwards, that doesn't mean he's not nice. Everyone says he's nice.
but he’s not nice.”
The two artists do not like each other
In the show Tea or Coffee, Florent Pagny was confronted with the following question: “Who would you refuse to sing a duet with?” The artist then responded without tongue in cheek: “Julien Doré!” A well-felt tackle which did not go unnoticed by viewers.
For his part, the main party never responded
to attacks from his counterpart. If the quarrel at the origin of this disagreement is not known, the supposed lack of politeness of Julien Doré noted by the juror of The Voice in the interview could be the origin.
Florent Pagny on bad terms with another singer
Concerning Olivia Ruiz, Florent Pagny is just as critical:
“I don't like him”he simply declared before adding about the young woman's unpleasant attitude: “But hey, she makes me feel good, she doesn’t love me. She’s the one who started it, anyway.”
At Philippe Vandel's microphone, however, he explained the reasons for this enmity: “This kid, I was godfather of the first Star Ac' where she was. Since then, I sometimes meet her on sets, I see her and she avoids me. She doesn't want to say hello to me, she doesn't want to cross my path. I saw it once, twice, three times, and I said to myself: 'Oh you, I get it'”he concluded.
