celeb news Macron wants Aya Nakamura to cover Edith Piaf for the 2024 Olympics opening ceremony

Would you be here for it ?

 

 

[Gwendolyn]

This is just inviting her to be racially abused, she needs to perform a bit of Djajda and call it a day 

[Mean Trees]

He's honestly the worst. Saying this just for clout. Embarrassing man.

[Moonlight Nation]

Aya Nakamura should definitely be part of the ceremony, but not through an Édith Piaf tribute. Barbara Pravi or Zaz would be much more fitting picks based on their existing influences and old-school sound. 

 

That would be like asking SZA to cover Barbra Streisand. It could be done as a reinterpretation in a stand-alone setting, but in a mass event like this it would be setting them up to unfair judgment and hate.

[Cain]

Erm Aya should do her own sound, but she’s gonna get hated on regardless 

 

The French people I met abroad all hate her  tasteless

[Domination]

Aya is one of the few interesting artists France has produced in the last decade. No wonder they’re mad.

I don't know. She's pretty hated and dividing for what I see. Most negative comments started with her use of French. But either, she's a hot topic.

Exactly, they told me ‘they don’t understand what she was singing’ which was very coded

If anything, she's brought something fresh and exciting to the pop scene. It's been dull ever since tbh, and some are actually catching up on that.

[LatinFreak]

The games are less than 6 months away. Shouldnt all the opening ceremony details be finalized by now?They usually rehearse months in advance for such a big live event.

Well, it's been a mess let's just put it this way

[Mandalore]

Because he remains tone-deaf 

[Polgg48]

dictator doesnt know aya songs and suggest that epic song for her to cover? dont response the moron, girl

[Taste of Honey]

She absolutely should be represented in some capacity, but I don’t think this would be the best fit for her. 

[kishi]

This is pretty disappointing. I would think she had more support in France. Who are her core audience?

The American equivalent would be Biden wanting Cardi B to cover Etta James for the Superbowl 

[glitch]

I had no idea she was so divisive in France. I kinda assumed she was pretty well liked given how famous she seems to be over there

okay first off... pop girls always had to face hate in France, it's a very snobbish country towards anything that isn't considered "high art", add in the misogynoir and yeah poor sis went through a lot

 

BUT, she still has a massive audience of fans (mostly black and north african women in France and in Africa)

 

It's very similar to how the American GP treats Beyoncé, she has a lot of fans and industry respect on one side but there's also a very LOUD and ANNOYING crowd of people who just viciously hate her for simply existing 

[Lemon]

She should perform this gem.

She’s rightfully way more hated than loved. Literally the french version of Nicki Minaj. This woman is a horrible human being.

[Junlin]

They should have Celine Dion instead of this nobody.
