Back from our weekend in Paris and as Guylaine said, it would be fine to share our experience of The Voice Blind Auditions on this thread.
We were registered for the recording session on Saturday night . It should be noted that this was their third recording of the day ... the four of them were very tired.
It was great to see Mika and Garou teasing , tickling , the two of them seem to get along, luckily Mika has got Garou !
My impressions are mixed. The prod puts a huge distance between the jurors, the candidates and the public. Almost no contacts , interactions ... everything is formatted. I think that Xfactor Italy is much more natural and spontaneous. But it's a feeling, I have not done another recording .
The producer is regularly telling them, Mika sometimes even had this child's head sheepishly and punished .
Otherwise, it was fun , the whole band Mikafans together, it was nice.
Thanks to Isa, we were very well placed in the 4th row in front of Mika and Garou . In the second part, Isa and I were in the second row, just ahead of them.
Mika and Garou are getting along well like kids, they are chatting, even too much: they don't stop when the candidates arrive (must say, they don't see them, not easy!) . We tried to advert them whispering " shhhhh" discreetly, which began to iritate our curly guy.
Mika and the others were worn, Florent Pagny was "in stand by mood" ... Jenifer, was there but only with her body, her mind wasn't so present. At the end of the show, Mika was liquefied in his chair, yawning and even nail biting !
Otherwise , no favorite candidate, good singers for sure, but not outstanding performance.
In the answers, the more professional is Mika:he has very specific arguments and his explanations are based . He has a great knowledge of music in the broadest sense, he is therefore an excellent judge . But he went on recounting of his life ...
He is sincere and speaks frankly, he did make crying a candidate, who had messed up her performance, by asking " Are you happy ?!" good that we know Mika, it's cash but not nasty, she took it badly ...
Otherwise, he can't drink his water bottle without spilling water, he is adorable with the team, justifying himself all the time ^ ^ and launched the debate with Garou on his choreographic style : no, he doesn't jump everywhere, he DANCES, in his own style, but he DANCES: lol:
The show turned to crap when Nikos was trying to do the débrif ' . Florent Pagny who liked 2 candidates and considering a battle with the two of them, has found that the word "accoupler" (that means to couple but to mate too in French) to expres his mind , this is the moment we finally lost Garou.
No way of conclusion, I cried laughing, Garou could not engage on the issue by Nikos Despite, nikos turned to Mika by asking " what would you do with her? " ... Well, him, nothing! It is what he said , laughing ... we finished it, I had a stomach ache from laughing ! :lmao:
Far too tired to stay, Mika left immediately after .
It is a positive experience , it was fun and it's nice to see him in a different context but also leached , I hate to seen him so exhausted.
