While the Olympic and Paralympic Games were a resounding success, there were also many critics. And Arielle Dombasle was the victim. To everyone’s surprise, the singer and actress performed the anthem “Olympics” to celebrate the arrival of the Olympic flame in Paris. Except that her song, inspired by Beethoven’s “Seventh Symphony”, was not to everyone’s taste. Far from it! Arielle Dombasle was blasted on social media, particularly because of her ultra kitsch music video. To top it all off, the artist took to the stage on the forecourt of Paris City Hall on July 14 to perform this hybrid song, merging lyrical and electro singing, once again with numerous mockeries and parodies. As evidence of the enormous enthusiasm, the video of her performance has been viewed 1.3 million times on YouTube!

“When I hear that, Paris is not a party!”
Until now, Arielle Dombasle had never spoken out to respond to these detractors. Now she has! Already during her appearance on September 5 on “Les Grosses Têtes” on RTL, the singer was questioned on the subject, Laurent Ruquier evoking her ” summer hit ” before Christophe Beaugrand started singing it.” It was a big gamble! ” confided Arielle Dombasle, before being criticized by her comrades. ” It still gets into your head! ” asked Laurent Ruquier, before Sébastien Thoen replied: ” Like all shitty songs “. Obviously a fan of the song, which he knows by heart, Christophe Beaugrand then joked about Arielle Dombasle’s outfit during her performance in front of the Hôtel de Ville. You would have seen her in her shower hose, disguised. It looked like a flexible hose! ” said the host. The artist then revealed the symbolism behind this avant-garde dress: ” It was the Olympic circles! ».
In a new episode of “Grosses Têtes”, broadcast this Wednesday, September 11, Arielle Dombasle was once again the favorite topic of discussion for Laurent Ruquier’s members. This is the only moment I liked in this vast pasquinade. ” said Michel Fau kindly, before Stomy Bugsy also admitted to being won over by the proposition. But not the host of the show, apparently! ” There are more and more deaf people thanks to this song ” he said, while Paul El Kharrat added another layer: ” When I hear that, Paris is not a party! (…) People didn’t miss it after this performance “Laurent Ruquier revealed that Arielle Dombasle had protected herself from criticism by not opening social networks. ” Everyone told me: “It’s great, the buzz is great, the top buzz on Twitter” ” rejoiced the singer, before sweeping away the evil tongues: ” The main thing is the buzz ».
