The hazards of live. Despite the gap with the real live broadcast, Michou’s blunder was not cut and was broadcast on TF1. But what happened? This Friday, November 1, 2024, the ceremony of NRJ Music Awards 2024 in Cannes. And from the first part of the evening, many events took place, starting with Michou’s blunder.
The YouTuber with millions of subscribers was indeed invited to present a prize during the evening: rewarding the French-speaking group of the year. But when it came time to reveal the name of the winner, the Inoxtag sidekick had to be corrected by Nikos Aliagas.
Michou misses himself live
Happy to be at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes, Michou obviously did not watch the tape broadcast a few seconds before he arrived on stage. A tape in which the nominees in the French-speaking group of the year category appeared.
“I’m so happy to be here tonight. I’m here to present an award so I think we’ll be able to go there straight away.” said Elsa Bois’s companion before missing: “The nominees for the French-speaking group of the year are…”causing a slight whiteness in the room.

To try to remedy the situation, Nikos Aliagas then took over Michou. “There is an envelope, we just saw them earlier, don’t worry”he alerted him before adding: “We’re going straight to the result. We’re adapting, don’t worry”. Not enough to disconcert the content creator who quickly got back on track despite his blunder.
“It’s very stylish to be able to do that. I’ve always dreamed of doing that in my life. But we’ll come back after the commercial!”he continued with his usual humor. In the end, despite his mistake in full live broadcast, the videographer was finally able to reveal the name of the winner: “The French-speaking group of the year is Indochine!”
On the side of the social network X, however, Michou’s error caused a strong reaction. “Michou’s flop was so embarrassing”, “Michou is 13 years old to talk like that?”, “Michou’s fail was so funny and embarrassing”, “Michou we pushed him on stage like you’re in trouble mode. didn’t even tell him when to open the envelope.”noted a number of Internet users who were both amused and annoyed by the situation.
