Nagui knows the song. The host has been overseeing very well-known musical shows for several years. Taratatafirst, from 1993, and
Don't forget the lyricssince 2007. Either a program of lives and a game show all in songs. He also interviewed almost all the elite of international Music. However, he does not only maintain friendships with music stars. As evidenced by his stormy relationship with the spleen popstar, Mylène Farmer.
Nagui: music fanatic presenter
Okay, Nagui is one of the most popular animators in the
PAF. But it would be too simplistic to reduce him to a simple game show presenter.
He is also and above all a music junkie and a song fanatic. As evidenced by its flagship broadcast of France TelevisionsTaratata. A program giving way to live performances by artists from all over the world.
Nagui also gives pride of place to song in Don't forget the lyrics. A TV game, one more, but in the form of a giant karaoke with holes. With, at stake, a small jackpot, and around, live musicians on the set accompanied by singers. The host, like a good master of ceremonies, hosts the show as much as he leaves room for the participants. The teacher, quoi.
Mylène Farmer, a spleen popstar
Mylène Farmer is perhaps the best-known secret of French song. A popstar full of spleen with the look of a fallen angel, cultivating both success and discretion. Revealed in the mid-80s, with the
tube Maman a tortthe singer gradually transformed into an artist as spectacular as she was unique over the following decades.
With Laurent Boutonnatproducer, songwriter and director, she is reshaping her public image and the artistic direction of her career. Result :
an entry into the legend with the cult clips of
Without counterfeiting, So be it I… and above all
As long as they are soft. The latter combines the aesthetics of Barry Lyndon and a
shimmering eroticism.
Quarrel between Nagui and Mylène Farmer
The rag has been burning between Nagui and Mylène Farmer for almost 20 years. A quarrel whose origins are a little vague. We can go back to 2005. At the time, Nagui co-presented the Music victories. Mylène Farmer, who won a prize in the famous ceremony, did not come to collect it. The host is annoyed by this behavior.
Live, the host indulges in a little dig towards the singer absent from the event: “Mylène reminded us that her latest single is called Fuck Them All.” In a number of Don't forget the lyrics, facing a song by the popstar, the host says: “I listened to her a lot. And I even interviewed her a lot and helped her a lot at the very beginning of her career. But not everyone has a good memory, especially not her!” Because, initially, Nagui strongly appreciated Mylène Farmer. He notably interviewed him in Fréquenstar and Génération laser.
2010, it's the artist's turn to shoot the presenter with red balls in Paris Match. “It's impressive to see how grown-up some people feel by denigrating, by trying to hurt. These are often people who dream of a better life. You still have to live up to it.” Mylène Farmer does not directly name Nagui, in the same interview. However, she points the finger “the backbiting of a game show host”. Ouch, hurt, Mylène is not gentle.
