Yes, I think I came across this other performance but did not know the context. La Nouvelle Star is a variation of UK programme called the X Factor and in the US the same thing is called American Idol, I think. The man behind the concept, Simon Cowell, is a big celebrity. Check it out with the new American friends. Hope Chicago is treating you well. Best; Dina Hi Cecile, thank you for the note.

I would like to add that Christophe has had an "up" in the past couple of years partly thanks to a very popular French reality show, La Nouvelle Star (a dozen of youngsters want to become famous singers and every week one of them is dismissed from the show by the audience). One of the winners of the contest did a remix of Christophe's maybe most famous song, Les Mots Bleus. We have to address these TV shows too in order to understand of French popular culture... See you soon, in Paris, Scotland or else! Cecile Hello Dina,
