It was the event of the year. Last July, Paris was the center of the world with the Olympic and Paralympic Games. If the French medals were numerous, the opening ceremony of the Games left millions of viewers with stars in their eyes. It must be said that there were many celebrities: Céline Dion, Lady Gaga and Aya Nakamura.
Mylène Farmer was to perform at the Paris Olympics
But now another star of French song should have been present. In any case, that’s what Thomas Jolly, the director, would have wanted. Indeed, recently, he revealed that he had invited Mylène Farmer to perform during the Olympics ceremony. “I had a great French singer (…) Mylène Farmer. But she was not available. That’s it… So, she told me no”, he revealed.
A disappointment for Thomas Jolly who would have loved to see the beautiful Mylène, who confided in her private life, in Paris. The composer of the anthem for the 2024 Olympic Games, Victor Le Masne then indicated that this was part of the game:
“We’re not going to lie to each other, of course, it’s the Olympics. The Olympics open doors, but there have also been refusals. It wasn’t an open bar either. he said.
Camille Lellouche, very saddened by the singer’s attitude
But even if the singer refused, Thomas Jolly wanted to pay tribute to her immense career during the opening ceremony. Indeed, in one of the tables devoted to dance, viewers were able to hear one of the singer’s most popular songs, which spoke of the end of her career:
Disenchanted. A nice way to show to what extent the artist is part of French heritage.
Always as mysterious, Alizée’s friend nevertheless maintains a sometimes very harsh behavior. Indeed, at the RTL microphone, Camille Lellouche had indicated that the singer did not hold her in her heart. The reason? “Mylène, actually… I’m a little sad but I can say it here. She doesn’t really like me. Why? Because I played her in a sketch in Quotidien”.
“It pains me”
So, it seems that the singer took this caricature very badly: “That was my goal, I’m a comedian. I found myself beautiful in Mylène. I adore her. I found out about it from someone close to her. Even though it was really funny. I’m really physically in her image in this sketch I tried to do the best I could. I parodied and imitated everyone.
And for Camille Lellouche, this attitude is not without consequences : “It pains me, she’s an artist that I admire a lot. She manages with her talent to fill stadiums without making TV, it’s the dream of all artists. I have a lot of admiration“, she said. The singer and comedian therefore decided to appeal to him:
“Mylène, if you ever see the interview, I love you! I invite you to my concert where you will never come but you never know. Maybe it’s fake news, maybe you ‘love it. I kiss you.’
