Is that blond woman working for Macron government? 

No she is the grand daughter of Jean Marie Le Pen  founder of far right-wing party FN and she is now the vice president in Eric Zemmour party "Reconquête"..

No it doesn't, you're literally using right-wing figures as examples to back up your argument but the truth is majority of people on social media (Twitter mostly) are talking about her music, not her. You will basically pull up the race card every time her talent is being discussed... just like all of her fans. As I said, I NEVER said she wasn't being a victim of racism from some political figures but to say it's the biggest matter here isn't true.

Considering she won't be singing her song at the opening ceremony, the discussion over her songs being good or bad is entirely irrelevant.

 

She will allegedly be singing Edith Piaf. That's what the controversy is about.

It’s fake.

It doesn't matter if it's fake or not. The controversy was incited by a report saying she'd cover an Edith Piaf song at the Opening Ceremony. So the controversy isn't about her songs, but about what she represents. No reason to play dumb.

You missed a big part of it then, because people didn’t stop at the Edith Piaf cover rumour.

 

Also, I am not sure how talking about your own music isn’t relevant when it comes to covering another artist at a huge event.
