Surely I'm not the only one who thought it was a bit clumsy? :sailing:

It didn't give the "electrifying" energy y'all claim it does.

Cos you don't know anything about cabaret that's why

I studied french for 8 years but it's still impossible to understand for me :rip: but yeah they're dragging her hard, I don't know who thought it was a good idea to pick an american artist to open the Paris Olympics with a song in a language she can't speak. 

I mean… I won't be dragging her. She had a lot of pressure and wasn't singing in her language, it's a difficult exercise. The stage and everything looked really cute but her voice sounds nasal in french and it was hard to understand her.

 

I'm surprised Twitter is dragging though because she's very popular here.

Not an ariana grande fan talking about that while eternal sunshine was dead on arrival. How many Ariana Grande albums even crossed the 1m pure sales mark?

She did ok. Kinda the same thing she always does and of course she was always going to get dragged for her french.

She was still the best performer up until now. I feel all of the performances are awkward probably because they are outdoors.

I feel so completely grateful to have been asked to open the Paris @Olympics 2024 this year. I am also humbled to be asked by the Olympics organizing committee to sing such a special French song—a song to honor the French people and their tremendous history of art, music, and theatre. This song was sung by Zizi Jeanmaire, born in Paris a French ballerina, she famously sang "Mon Truc en Plumes" in 1961.  The title means "My Thing with Feathers." And this is not the first time we've crossed paths. Zizi starred in Cole Porter's musical "Anything Goes" which was my first jazz release.

 

Although I am not a French artist, I have always felt a very special connection with French people and singing French music—I wanted nothing more than to create a performance that would warm the heart of France, celebrate French art and music, and on such a momentous occasion remind everyone of one of the most magical cities on earth—Paris. We rented pom poms from Le Lido archive—a real French cabaret theater. We collaborated with Dior to create custom costumes, using naturally molted feathers. I studied French choreography that put a modern twist on a French classic. I rehearsed tirelessly to study a joyful French dance, brushing up on some old skills—I bet you didn't know I used to dance at a 60's French party on the lower east side when I was first starting out!

 

I hope you love this performance as much as I do. And to everyone in France, thank you so much for welcoming me to your country to sing in honor of you—it's a gift I'll never forget! Congratulations to all the athletes who are competing in this year's Olympic Games! It is my supreme honor to sing for you and cheer you on!! Watching the Olympic Games always makes me cry! Your talent is unimaginable. Let the games begin!

The whole thing felt awkward.. Aya Nakamura's bad lipsync and low energy :rip:
