In his book "They make us sing! 50 stars of the French scene", Albert Algoud presents the major artists of the years 2000 and 2010, with the help of cartoonist Gervais Loock.

The reaction of singer Angèle to her drawing had created a buzz.

Albert Algoud returns to this event in the program "Musique!".

INTERVIEW

The video had ignited social networks and was picked up by many media.

Last December, the singer Angèle discovered in a bookstore the book 

They Make Us Sing!

50 stars of the French scene

on whose cover she is caricatured.

His half-shocked, half-hilarious reaction is filmed and posted on Instagram.

Some media people then turn the information into a scandalous affront to the young artist.

Albert Algoud, author of the offending book, was the guest of

Musique! On

Wednesday 

.

He returns to this controversy.

The author obviously did not miss the video where Angèle discovers her book.

"She has a reaction which is very funny, she says 'What did I do to deserve this?'

It’s just if she’s not crying ”.

"But actually, she cries more with laughter. She's having spasms of laughter and indignation, I think and hope, feign. Because I think she has a lot of humor."

Albert Algoud readily admits that the caricature of his colleague Gervais Loock in the book they are co-authoring is really not flattering.

"Angèle is lovely, she is really a very pretty young woman, but the caricature does not spare her and especially the teeth", he explains.

And it is, indeed, the detail of the yellow teeth, even orange, which particularly caught the attention of Angela when she discovered the drawing of her face.

"It advertises the book"

Doubtful teeth which she then had fun on Instagram, as Albert Algoud recalls: "Angela filmed herself in the evening, and it's very funny. She brushes her teeth and, she says' I take blue toothpaste. Good for yellow teeth. '

She does it in a way that is so funny. "

The joke could have ended there.

But the sequence is repeated in the media.

And some try to turn the event into a drama.

"In the tabloid press, they took the thing straight. They acted as if we had insulted Angèle, that she had been injured, almost insulted," Albert Algoud wonders.

"They make believe that there is something unworthy in this cartoon, whereas Angela is the first to laugh about it!"

“It advertises the book,” laughs the author.

He recalls that he himself is the first person caricatured by Gervais Loock in their book.

And that he is not spared either.

“When I discovered it, I thought it was Emile Louis!” He exclaims.

"We start driving a Minibus in the Yonne, and it's Emile Louis!"

Albert Algoud therefore takes this controversy with humor, but regrets what we have been able to say to the work of his cartoonist colleague.
