Mika prefers to distance himself from The Voice France
Guest of The original soundtrack this Friday, November 29, Mika reiterated to Nagui his wish to no longer appear too much on French television outside of the promotion of his records… What about The Voice ? “No but it’s done, they practically recorded the whole thing without me”he slips as two new faces join Zazie and Florent Pagny. So, when Nagui asks him if he will return to his famous red armchair, the pianist immediately exclaims: “Oh, I don’t think so!”before adding : “I don't know… I love the show, I loved doing the show and I admit that my favorite was the first [saison] and this last one I madewith talents who have really had careers, that's the difference. It was the first time in France. That said, the musician has various similar commitments in Spain or even across the Channel in The Piano on Channel 4.
Mika: this other talent show in which he appears abroad
“I have a show in England, [mais] it's niche”, the 41-year-old lyricist seems to defend himself. He states about the concept: “We do this in small stations, we look for people who have stories to tell, not people who want to sell records. From time to time it's very hot, from time to time very cold, most of the time we are hidden next to the toilets in a small cubicle, we listen to people and we talk. It's so pure.. A principle closer to the artist's values.
