Michou: The problem is that I was poorly briefed

Imagine: you are invited to present an award at the NRJ Music Awards, but once on stage you get confused and repeat exactly what Nikos Aliagas has just said. Michou experienced this situation on November 1, 2024. While he was supposed to present the prize for best French-speaking group of the year, the 23-year-old YouTuber blundered by launching the magneto of the nominees when he had just be broadcast. Warned by the host of the ceremony, the Frenchman said, “I didn’t know,” before announcing the winners.

In a recent live on Twitch, his subscribers returned to this sequence. The opportunity for Michou to give his version of the facts. “The problem is that I was poorly briefed. It’s not me guys! The problem comes from TF1. I’ll explain. I’ve never worked with a teleprompter. There was one at the NRJ Music Awards, but I didn’t want to read it,” he said.

And added: “I was briefed: “Good Michou, your time on stage will be quick. You go up, you can say whatever you want and then you announce the nominees.” I ask how it goes to announce them, I am told: “You say the nominees for the French-speaking group of the year are and there will be a magneto and then you open the envelope and say the winner.” So I know my role. In addition, I am confident, I presented “DALSI” (editor’s note: “Dancing with the Internet Stars”).”

In the chat, his fans assured him that “it was nothing serious” and that it was above all “funny”. “Well yes, but my visit did not go unnoticed,” reacted Michou.
