NRJ Awards 2024: Amir gets shaved live during his song

This Friday, November 1, 2024, Amir will have given of himself to put on the show for the twenty-sixth edition of the NRJ Awards. Nominated in the category of song of the year, alongside Santa, Pierre Garnier, Slimane and Louane, the interpreter of “At the summit” sang the title heard many times during the 2024 Olympics surrounded by an audience of dancers. But far from limiting himself to his musical performance, the ex-candidate of “The Voice” added something new by having his head shaved live by two members of his troupe, equipped with clippers, while he continued his song. A great first in the history of the ceremony, also marked by Slimane’s emotion during his performance. Puremédias invites you to discover this sequence in the video below.

“The NRJ Music Awards are freedom”

Obviously, Nikos Aliagas, reintroduced master of ceremonies this year, did not fail to question Amir on the why of this crazy gesture. “Oh my, that’s weird. I don’t even know if the cut was successful.” he first joked, running his hand over his almost bare head. Then he set the tone for his peers in the next editions: “The NRJ Music Awards are freedom, artistic proposition, and we are going far, to the top. We will have to go even stronger in the years to come, I have the impression.” On social networks, many viewers were in any case confused by this “Britney Spears” initiative.

Not rewarded for his artistic choice

Despite this breathtaking number, the Franco-Israeli singer returned empty-handed from , having already won several statuettes in the past. The title of French-speaking male artist of the year escaped him in favor of Slimane, while he was beaten by the last winner of the “Star Academy” Pierre Garnier in the category of French-speaking song of the year. “At the top” will not reach the heights of “I searched” and “On dire”, rewarded by public votes in 2016 and 2017.
