Its service will only be broadcast this Saturday evening on TF1, but it has already been seen more than 6.8 million times on Facebook. Antony, 24, is one of the candidates for the blind auditions for season 9 of The Voice , which began on January 18. We already know that he upset the jury with his cover of Casting, by Christophe Maé, from the album La vie d'artiste , released in 2019.
"A song has never been made so much for a blind audition," headlines The Voice's Facebook account, because the lyrics are particularly suitable. "Ladies and Gentlemen, look at me / If I am here it is because I believe in them / They will tell you that I have talent / Whether it is my friends or my parents", declares Antony in a voice of emotion . Marc Lavoine, then Amel Bent turn around. And at the last moment, Lara Fabian and Pascal Obispo, also give in to curiosity.
He sings for his sister
The excerpt was published on January 15 on the show's Facebook page. Never before has a service captured so many views before it was broadcast on television. Antony's story has moved Internet users as much as his song. The student sings for his sister, Emmanuelle, who died in a road accident when he was 13 years old.
“I drifted when I got back to high school, I was doing nothing, it was a difficult time for me. One day my father told me to stop your nonsense , I took my sister's guitar and I started to music. And if I sing the song of Christophe Maé, it is because this song is mine, it is the cry of a young man in distress ”, told the candidate to the Parisian .
"I had never felt this with a recovery"
His performance has also moved the interpreter and co-author of Casting , Christophe Maé, interviewed by Le Parisien : "This is what is beautiful when the song becomes universal, when we see how this candidate appropriates it, the musician is moved. This is what is magic with the fate of the songs, you can never know the life they can have. And there, I had never felt that with a recovery. It's crazy, because these words have become his. I would like to cross paths with this boy one day. "
The entire performance, and Antony's choice concerning his coach, will be broadcast in this Saturday's issue of The Voice , starting at 9:05 p.m.
