Alireine Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Yes, just one sentence was broadcasted. I was surprised of course. I like him as well, I feel for him, he seems so introvert and helpless. I still have to understand why Mika says he's tough. Maybe cause he's so closed on himself that he's hard to reach him? He doesn't seem a tough guy, I mean, a badass. On the contrary. And I still don't get why he wanted Mika to kick him out It appears that Spleen was already quite famous here in France in the "underground" music areas, before he did the Voice. I don't know if you follow him on Twitter, he already made a few music videos So my guess is that he still want to appear as "underground" (don't know if it's the proper word in English, that's the word that we use in French ), he uses The Voice show to be more popular, but at the same time he may have some disdain for such shows, that's why maybe he acts like it. Or maybe you are right and he is shy. But Mika said many times that Spleen is "acting" on stage. Every time he sings (audition, battles, épreuve ultime), he creates a special character according to the song, and plays it. So it's hard to know who he really is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elwendin Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I see. In italy two contestants left for a similar reason. They wanted to stick with youtube audience. When it comes to Spleen acting, it may be. He's strange for sure! One thing I'm sure: I trust Mika on that. He knows better than me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie20 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 (edited) Thanks to all for the answers and explanations about Spleen! Or maybe you are right and he is shy. But Mika said many times that Spleen is "acting" on stage. Every time he sings (audition, battles, épreuve ultime), he creates a special character according to the song, and plays it. So it's hard to know who he really is This would explain why he had the costume of Totoro, a character from a Miyazaki film.

I use to call that "the bear costume" By the way, for a tiny first second I didn't noticed the tail and, as I saw Mika aiming there, I went WTF??? I got it was a joke of course, but I didn't realize immediately the fake tail Edited March 5, 2014 by Elwendin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Didn't Mika call Jimmy Totoro once or something...? Anyway it always reminds me of Mika because we went to a shop that had a humongous Totoro in Japan.

Zimwana Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I was there but I'm not sure I remember well I guess the "Spleen a attaqué Pierre" was for the performance (I don't remember when Mika says it, sorry, so I could be wrong). But something that was cut from the recording, is that Spleen really insisted for Mika to choose Pierre, saying (while they were on stage) that Pierre sang much better than him, ... They broadcasted only one sentence of it I think, but he said much more than that. He acted really weird, as if he wanted people not to like him (and he made it well, I think I'm one of the few who were at the recordings who like him ). Mika had to tell him to shut up or something like that And of course, when it was time to choose, he did the opposite of what everyone wanted: he chosed Spleen I already had the feeling when Spleen auditioned that he didn't really want to be picked. He seemed uncomfortable, almost disappointed that the coaches wanted him. It seemed like he wanted to use the stage, show what he could do but was not interested in going forth...but I didn't know about his underground career.

Susan_xian Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) I love Spleen! In the battle he looks really strange. I mean even in the broadcast show.He didn't seem happy or excited at all, even before Mika chose him. Mika is really a great coach. I love all Team Mika's battles!

I trust my ears and they are telling me that Spleen isnt "The Voice" lol I am not sure what Mika hears in Spleen at all. His duel was horrible! I don't care if he's shy, introverted or whatever .... This is a Voice competition & he doesn't have it. His style of music prides themselves in being unconventional. He probably doesn't want to be in the competition anymore & wants to be out. Incidentally, my son's band could probably use a singer like him Didn't Mika call Jimmy Totoro once or something...?

His duel was horrible! I don't care if he's shy, introverted or whatever .... This is a Voice competition & he doesn't have it. l Yes I agree. Well I didn't think it was horrible, I found it entertaining. But Mika is just fascinated with him as a person and none of this has to do with him being a great singer. Yes his interpretation of Toxic was very original and daring. But then he just did the same thing with Benny and the Jets. He's got one trick and it's already old after 2 songs. I do like him but he's totally inappropriate for THE Voice. Also if I didn't "know" Mika I would have thought it was a bit creepy the way he grabbed his tail. I mean if Florent had done that I would have thought he was a weirdo. They are in a position of power over the contestants so it's a bit...I don't know.

Mika is still a young man and a bit childish in some ways so nobody I know thought Mika was a weirdo. After all, he sang 'Elle me dit' My colleagues, friends (who aren't Mika fans) like him and think his comments on candidates' performances are accurate and relevant. They also think he brings novelty and originality and likes his dual personality 'professional and rather mature in his comments' and 'boyish, crazy' like the way he pulled Spleen's tail. I was pleased to hear they all like him and said I appreciated a nice and clever guy's music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie20 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 About Spleen (it's a bit long interview): The Voice : les confidences de Spleen Par Damien Mercereau Publié le 03/03/2014 http://tvmag.lefigaro.fr/programme-tv/article/television/80047/the-voice-les-confidences-de-spleen.html Véritable phénomène musical de cette troisième édition de The Voice, Spleen s'est qualifié pour l'épreuve ultime après avoir été préféré après Mika lors des battles. A 31 ans, cet artiste complet, qui souhaite également s'épanouir dans le domaine du cinéma, nous explique avec beaucoup de précision les raisons de sa participation au télé-crochet de TF1. Entretien. Spleen, vous avez déjà un beau parcours avec trois albums, dont Voices sorti en octobre dernier. Comment est survenue cette participation à The Voice ? J'ai été sollicité lors des Francofolies de la Rochelle où j'accompagnais un ami guitariste. Je faisais des beatbox pour lui et il se trouve que j'ai chanté une dizaine de secondes sur un refrain. Et il se trouve que ça a suffi pour être interpellé en sortant de scène pour me proposer de passer le casting. Sur le moment, j'ai répondu que ça ne m'intéressait pas. J'ai revu la personne, que je trouvais très sympathique et avec une vraie sensibilité musicale, nous avons beaucoup discuté et elle m'a convaincu d'y aller pour me faire une idée. Qu'en avez-vous pensé? J'ai chanté et puis ensuite j'ai pris peur. Voir tous ces apprentis artistes fonder autant d'espoirs dans cette émission, j'avais l'impression de ne pas être à ma place. Je me suis un peu sauvé. Il y a des choses qui se contredisent dans mon esprit: le rapport de l'artiste à l'argent et celui à la notoriété. Je ne trouve pas que le succès est un dénominateur de talent. J'ai toujours aimé mon statut d'artiste de l'ombre respecté par ses pairs. Je savais que travailler pour une émission diffusée sur TF1 allait m'apporter la plus grosse visibilité de ma carrière. Il y avait de l'appréhension et la peur d'être jugé sur autre chose que la musique. Vous avez fini par revenir finalement... Il y a un côté un peu surnaturel dans ce programme. On rencontre que des gens bienveillants qui nous mettent dans les meilleures conditions. C'est très rare et ça donne l'impression d'être dans une hyper réalité. C'est réconfortant de travailler avec des gens autant à l'écoute. Donc je me suis dit pourquoi pas. On m'avait promis que je pouvais tenter et me rétracter à la dernière minute si je le souhaitais. «J'ai beaucoup de mal à me regarder» Avez-vous été impressionné par le contexte de l'audition à l'aveugle? Tout est allé très vite. Je suis quelqu'un qui aime le cinéma et qui écrit beaucoup (cf. son script de Victory ). J'avais un scenario de série télé où une candidate participe à un télé-crochet et qui est perturbée par toutes les informations à intégrer, les lumières, le public, les caméras... Du coup, elle n'arrivait pas à exprimer un dixième de ses capacités et se faisait éliminer. Pour exister dans les médias actuels, il faut presque avoir une éducation de la télévision. Ça devient presque plus important de savoir parler de son travail que de savoir l'exprimer. Qu'a pensé votre entourage de cette première prestation? Je suis quelqu'un de très secret donc je n'en avais parlé à personne. Quand c'est passé sur TF1, il y a eu une sorte de raz-de-marée autour de moi. J'étais dans un bar à Paris et mon téléphone n'arrêtait pas de sonner, c'était complètement irrationnel. Dans la rue, des gens m'appelaient, c'était assez troublant. Vous n'aviez pas prévu de suivre votre audition sur TF1? Non, pas du tout. J'ai beaucoup de mal à me regarder donc je ne le fais jamais. Comme j'ai été invité au Grand journal, j'ai vu un extrait. Mais j'ai du mal à me voir. J'ai toujours l'impression de ne pas être bien, pas beau, pas drôle... Je suis quelqu'un du temps présent. Je viens du théâtre où tout se vit sur l'instant. «Leïla avait une coach qui n'était pas à même de comprendre sa maturité artistique» Avez-vous néanmoins la confiance nécessaire pour bien chanter ou bien jouer la comédie? Jacques Brel disait qu'il chantait parce qu'il n'avait pas le choix, que ça lui faisait mal mais que c'était vital. J'ai l'impression d'avoir des choses à dire et que ce besoin physique d'exprimer des choses, je le fais au travers de l'art. Quand je suis sur scène, je me sens en vie. On délivre son propre sentiment et on veut aller au bout d'une idée. Sur un morceau qui n'était pas le mien (Toxic de Britney Spears), c'est ce que j'ai essayé de faire. Vous avez laissé le choix à une jeune fille du public de choisir votre coach. Est-ce parce que ça n'avait pas d'importance pour vous? Non, pas du tout, le choix du coach est primordial. On le voit avec l'élimination de Leïla lors des battles. Cette chanteuse est incroyable mais elle a choisi une coach qui n'était pas à même de comprendre la complexité de sa maturité artistique. Leïla écrit ses textes et compose comme une très grande. Si elle avait choisi un autre coach, elle serait certainement encore dans l'aventure. Dans ce genre d'émission, tout est tactique et doit être réfléchi. J'ai toujours pratiqué l'art pour les autres. Pour moi, l'enfance est un enjeu. On leur donne une vision du monde au travers de ces programmes, on leur dit que cette musique là est ce qui est beau et ce qu'il faut écouter. L'important pour moi n'est pas de gagner. Je recherche le beau. Et l'innocence d'un enfant qui choisit avec sa vérité est beaucoup plus fort que d'avoir un Spleen un peu rigolo qui repart avec Jenifer parce qu'elle est belle ou Mika parce qu'il parle bien. Cela m'a paru naturel et logique de faire ça. Le visage de cette enfant que j'avais en face de moi, dans le public, m'a vraiment touché. Bon maintenant, si elle avait choisi Garou, j'aurais été un peu triste. (Rires) ABOUT MIKA Que retenez-vous de votre travail avec Mika et Kylie Minogue? Mika est quelqu'un de très intelligent, une personne délicieuse et surtout très douée. Il comprend très bien les artistes et travailler avec lui est facile. Les échanges se font très naturellement. Il accepte la remise en question, c'est une forme d'intelligence et ce n'est pas donné à tout le monde. Quant à Kylie Minogue, je l'ai suivie à différentes étapes de sa carrière, elle a traversé des épreuves terribles dans sa vie. Je craignais de rencontrer quelqu'un de superficiel et j'ai eu affaire à une femme naturelle, beaucoup plus belle en vrai. Avec Michel Gondry (réalisateur français, ndlr), nous venons de finir une chanson et on a pensé qu'une voix féminine comme celle de Kylie Minogue serait parfaite pour nous accompagner. L'histoire serait belle si elle acceptait. «Je me suis volontairement saboté sur les battles» Comment avez-vous abordé l'épreuve des battles? L'émission ne m'a apporté que du positif et c'est ce qui me fait peur. Que ce soit mes amis, ma famille et les gens en général, tout le monde aime ce que j'ai montré dans The Voice. Le risque est que ça ne dure pas et c'est pour ça que je suis très dur avec moi-même. Sur les battles, j'avais l'impression de ne pas avoir été à la hauteur et j'avais le sentiment de devoir partir. Pour être sincère, je me suis volontairement saboté sur cette épreuve. Je m'intéresse beaucoup à l'humain et j'étais opposé à quelqu'un d'une sensibilité incroyable. Au-delà de la musique, Pierre Edel est venu de Russie pour participer au concours. Il a une femme, des enfants et il y avait beaucoup d'enjeu pour lui. Je me disais que ça lui apporterait plus à lui qu'à moi de continuer l'aventure. J'ai tout fait pour qu'il continue mais Mika a choisi de me garder. Je me suis aperçu auprès du public qu'il y avait une attente et que je ne pouvais pas me permettre de ne pas le respecter. Donc j'ai décidé d'être vraiment à 100% pour la suite de l'aventure. Pourquoi être venu avec ce déguisement de lapin? (Actually it was Totoro's costume - my edit) J'avais envie de proposer quelque chose d'amusant suite à l'histoire qui s'était créée, lors des auditions à l'aveugle, avec la petite fille du public, Ornella. C'est une personne géniale et elle était présente lors des battles. Au théâtre, on m'avait appris à me reporter sur un visage du public et à lui parler. Ornella était mon visage du public de The Voice. Donc j'ai fait ma mise en scène des battles pour elle parce que je voulais la faire rêver et lui laisser un souvenir de cette rencontre. «J'ai envie de produire Leïla de The Voice» Parlez-nous de votre label indépendant The Black & White Skins... C'est quelque chose qui me permet de faire émerger des artistes qui ne sont pas assez formatés pour convenir à des grandes ondes. Il y a dix ans, j'avais sorti une compilation avec des artistes inconnus à l'époque comme Hindi Zahra, CocoRosie, Devendra Banhart, Antony & The Johnsons... Il se trouve que, depuis, ils ont tous fait carrière. En faisant The Voice ou des concerts, je veux montrer qu'on n'est pas obligé de faire des concessions artistiques pour exister. Je continue d'y croire donc j'ai créé ma boite l'année dernière. Avec mon label, j'essaye de sortir des albums d'artistes qui, sans moi, ne seraient pas connus. Je fais en sorte qu'ils puissent exister. Vos rencontres durant The Voice vous ont-elles données envie de produire des talents de l'émission? J'ai rencontré Leïla qui fait une musique complètement différente de la mienne. Elle a une maturité incroyable pour son âge. Elle veut faire de la chanson française et sa musique pourrait plaire à des millions de gens. Le fait qu'elle soit éliminée de l'émission, elle est totalement libre de tout contrat avec une maison de disques et j'ai envie de la produire. C'est la plus douée de toutes les artistes que j'ai vu pendant l'émission. C'est pour produire son premier EP que j'ai lancé un appel à contributions sur My Major Company. Et vos envies personnelles dans tout ça? Quand j'ai fait mon passage à l'aveugle, j'avais expliqué mon amour pour le cinéma mais que, malheureusement, pour devenir acteur en France, il faut faire la météo sur Canal+. Je me suis dit que, pour devenir réalisateur, il fallait peut être faire The Voice pour acquérir une certaine notoriété. Comme je n'ai pas envie d'attendre mes 50 ans pour réaliser mon premier long-métrage et que j'ai la conviction d'écrire des scénarios de qualité... Finalement, sans en avoir parlé à la télévision, des chaînes sont venus à moi pour me proposer des choses pour l'année prochaine. Donc c'est assez génial et magique. Si vous veniez à gagner The Voice, vous vous retrouveriez avec un contrat chez Universal... Je me considère comme un Cheval de Troie. On ne peut pas critiquer le système sans être dans le système. La plupart des gens qui se mettent en marge de la société ne peuvent rien changer. Alors que ceux qui critiquaient le système en acceptant d'y mettre un pied ont pu faire avancer les choses. J'ai aussi envie de montrer qu'on peut faire de la musique avec moins d'argent et revenir à une échelle humaine de la création artistique.

charlie20 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) This is the translation of the first part.I hope that it's right.If anyone has any corrections to make, the help is appreciated. The Voice: the confidences of Spleen. by Damien Mercereau published on 03/03/2014 http://tvmag.lefigaro.fr/programme-t...de-spleen.html True musical phenomenon of the third edition of The Voice, Spleen qualified for the final round after being preferred according to Mika opinion (is this the correct translation?) during battles. At 31, this complete artist, who also wants to flourish in the field of cinema, explains in great detail the reasons for his participation in the talent show TF1. Spleen, you already have a beautiful course (run/journey) with three albums, Voices was released last October. How has occurred this participation in The Voice? I was asked at the Francofolies de la Rochelle where I accompanied a friend guitarist. I used to beatbox for him and it turns out that I sang about ten seconds on a chorus. And it turns out that it was enough to be called out leaving the scene/stage to offer me to pass the casting. At the time, I replied that it did not interest me. I saw again the person that I found very friendly and with a real musical sensibility, we talked a lot and she convinced me to go there to get an idea. What did you think? I sang and then I got scared. To see all these apprentices artists found/base so many hopes in this show, I felt not to be in my place (/I had the impression of not being in my place). I got a little saved. There are things that contradict each other in my mind: the relation between the artist and the money, and the one with the notoriety. I don’t think that success is a denominator of talent. I always loved my status of artist of the shadow respected by his peers. I knew that working for a program/show broadcast/aired on TF1 would bring me the biggest visibility of my career. There was apprehension and fear of being judged on something other than music. Eventually you have finished to come back… There is a somewhat supernatural side in this program. We meet only caring people who put us in the best conditions. This is very rare and it gives the impression of being in a hyper reality. It is gratifying to work with people as much attentive (listening). So I said to myself why not. I was promised that I could try and retract at the last minute if I wanted. « I have a hard time looking at me » Have you been impressed by the context of the blind auditions? Everything went very quickly. I am someone who loves movies and writes a lot (see his script of Victory). I had a scenario where a TV series candidate participates in a talent show and is disturbed by all the information to integrate the lights, the audience, the cameras… Suddenly, she could not express one tenth of its capacity and was eliminated. To exist in the current media, you almost need to have an education of the television. It becomes almost more important to know talk about his work that know how to express. What your entourage thought of this first performance? I am someone very secret so I did not have talked to anyone. When this is passed on TF1, there has been a kind of tidal wave around me. I was in a bar in Paris and my phone did not stop ringing, it was completely irrational. In the street, people called me, it was quite disturbing. You did not plan to follow your audition on TF1? No, not at all. I have a hard time looking at me so I never do. As I was invited to the Grand newspaper, I saw an excerpt. But I have trouble seeing me. I always seem to not be good, not nice, not funny… I am someone of present time. I come from the theater where everything lives in the moment. «Leila had a coach who was not able to understand her artistic maturity» Do you still have the confidence to sing well or play well the comedy? Jacques Brel said he sang because he had no choice, that it hurt but it was vital. I feel I have something to say and that this physical need to express things, I do it through (the) art. When I'm on stage, I feel alive. It delivers its own feeling and you want to go after an idea. On a piece that was not mine (Toxic Britney Spears), this is what I tried to do. You left the choice to a girl in the public to choose your coach. Is it because it did not matter to you? No, not at all, the choice of coach is paramount. Can be seen with the elimination of Leïla during battles. This is an incredible singer but she chose a coach who was not able to understand the complexity of her artistic maturity. Leila writes his lyrics and composed as a very great. If she had chosen another coach, it would certainly still in the adventure. In this kind of program, everything is tactical and must be thought out. I have always practiced the art for others. For me, childhood is an issue It gives them a vision of the world through these programs, they are told that this music is what is beautiful and what to listen for.The important to me isn’t to win. I look for the beautiful. And the innocence of a child who chooses with his/her truth is much stronger than having a little funny Spleen who leave with Jenifer (/chooses Jenifer) because she is beautiful or Mika because he speaks well. It seemed to me natural and logical to do that. The face of this child that I had in front of me in the audience, really touched me. Right now, if she had chosen Garou, I would have been a little sad. (Laughter) What do you retain of your work with Mika and Kylie Minogue? Mika is a very intelligent, delicious and most importantly very talented person. He understands very well the artists and working with him is easy.The exchanges are made very naturally. He accepts the calling in question/challenge, it's a form of intelligence and it is not given to everyone. As for Kylie Minogue, I followed at different stages of her career, she has gone through terrible ordeals in her life. I was afraid to meet someone superficial and I had to deal with a natural woman, much more beautiful in real life.With Michel Gondry (French director, editor's note), we just finished a song and it was thought a female voice like that of Kylie Minogue would be perfect to accompany us. The story would be nice if she agreed. I will post the second part tomorrow. Edited March 8, 2014 by charlie20 error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marta. Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I don't know if he could have success or not, but he can realize something after the Voice...and in spite of The Voice. He has ideas, projects, many talents...he only needs of an opportunity to become popular. And in this way, a talent show could really be useful.

lollipop161 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) Amir, my pride!!! So happy he won the battle! Ok back to mika I really really liked the song he chose for his couple (with the girl), "Life on Mars". it was emotional and mika is perfect as a teacher, like always But I prefered Akram more... And for the other couple, with the one who sang in Arabic... It was funny to find out the song he chose for them because I only watched it today a million times by mistake, on MTV (no idea what it's doing here ) and I thought to myself 'what an interesting song' - watch its video, it's really cool Edited March 8, 2014 by lollipop161 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
