Marie, 26, opened the ball for the third episode of season 10 of
The Voice
on TF1.
During the shooting, in November, the young woman was taken of a "hot stroke" before entering the set.
She turned back.
She says she was "really scared".
Marie and Pascal Guix, the artistic producer of
The Voice
, tell
20 Minutes
the unfolding of this unusual evening and this emotional roller coaster.
Panic on board.
The third episode of
The Voice
airing on Saturday began with an adrenaline rush.
The first candidate of the evening, Marie, 26, turned back a few seconds before entering the set.
It took a good half an hour - and postpone the shooting as much - for her to regain her serenity and decide to go and defend her place in the TF1 telecrochet.
The young woman and Pascal Guix, artistic producer of the show, agreed to tell
20 Minutes
these emotional roller coasters.
Here are their crossed testimonies
Marie:
The production had come looking for me to participate in
The Voice
.
Casting officials had seen the videos on Instagram or YouTube in which I was singing.
I told myself that participating in the show would be a perfect springboard, that it happened at the right time.
Pascal Guix:
Marie's blind audition is filmed in November.
I know she has a special sensitivity, that she can be prone to stress, and in this case, waiting is never good.
I make sure that she passes very quickly and even that she opens the shooting evening.
I have blind faith in his performance.
I am convinced that she will start the evening very well.
Marie:
The pressure is starting to build backstage.
When I find myself behind the screen separating me from the set, I am just paralyzed.
Arriving on the stage of
The Voice
is very impressive.
I have been a show professional for several years, I have a little background on the stage, but I'm not used to frequenting the world of television.
I have a heat stroke.
Yes, I am really scared.
Pascal Guix:
An assistant director tells me: "The talent does not want to go on stage".
It is not something that happens to us every day.
I jump out of my chair and go see what's going on.
I see that the teams take care of them, take her out, at her request, to take the air.
Marie:
I am very uncomfortable being anxious like that in front of the cameras.
I am receptive to whatever people on the team tell me at this time.
I don't want to let go, I don't intend not to do my performance.
Pascal Guix:
Marie wants us to put the next candidate first, but he is not prepared to pass at that time.
What destabilizes her, she must not destabilize the next one.
I prefer to make a set wait rather than change plans at the last moment.
I then go to the coaches and I don't tell them what's going on because I don't want to influence them in one way or another.
We improvise what we call "duties", that is to say images of coaches on their chairs.
We ask them to look at each other, things like that… It's something we usually do to help us edit.
There, we absolutely do not need it.
But we go on that, I tell them that we have ten minutes, just to make them wait.
Back in the wings, I come across Marie who is about to go on stage.
I still feel her a little feverish.
Marie:
Pascal Guix comes to talk to me.
He said to me: “You are emotional.
When you are on stage, you always defend what you have to defend ”.
Then he asks me: "Are you my partner or not?
It clicks, I tell myself that he trusts me and that I don't want to betray him.
I have to do my performance.
Pascal Guix:
I feel the need to say these words to her, to express to her that we have confidence in her and that she has worked for that moment.
I know if she doesn't go on set she will regret it all her life.
We both come from the South West, so we have values in common, especially that of the word given.
Marie:
We don't see it in the images broadcast on TF1, but Pascal tells me that he always thought that at some point I was going to crack but that I never gave up.
Pascal Guix:
From the castings, we saw that she had a particular sensitivity.
During the first rehearsal with the orchestra, which takes place well beforehand, in a studio, without a camera, we saw the emotion that overwhelmed her.
It was so happy for her to be with the musicians.
I expected this blind audition sound to be a dose of strong emotions for her, but I hadn't necessarily considered her not going on stage.
Marie:
What Pascal tells me gives me the niac.
I enter the set of
The Voice
firmly.
There is no more room for stage fright or stress.
There is no way I can break the contract of trust.
I don't even think about the fact that the coaches have to turn around, I just want to do my performance until the end, correctly, give everything, let go.
Marie sings
Nothing Breaks Like A Heart
by Mark Ronson and Miley Cyrus.
Florent Pagny and Amel Bent turn around during his performance.
"She takes the controls, she takes the wheel and she goes," reacts the first who says to Marie: "You made a real performance.
You are not playing the singer: you are singing!
Amel Bent says: "I heard a warrior".
Marie:
I answer her tit for tat: "You are the warrior!"
»Amel Bent is a person with whom I have built myself musically and humanly.
When
Ma Philosophie
came out in 2005, I found myself in the text, I was 10 years old, with weight problems, I was in search of identity, not feeling good about myself.
I do not pretend to say that I am a warrior but I am very touched.
Pascal Guix:
Yes, Marie is a warrior.
I know she needs a goal and that when you give her a responsibility she is committed to getting it right.
She has never departed from the fact that, when it comes time to sing, she is there, present, very anchored.
She knows what to do and does it well.
Marie:
I never imagined that my backstage hot shot would be broadcast.
I thought it was a moment of intimacy.
In the end, it's a good thing that this is shown on television because other candidates have found themselves in my situation.
Pascal Guix:
It doesn't happen every year.
Generally, the talents are eager to sing and go on stage to live this moment.
However, there are regularly small moments of stress or panic.
There are some who vomit just before they pass, for example, but there is nothing to be ashamed of.
It is a special moment with a special emotion.
We respect that.
I always wonder how I would react if I were them.
And I don't have the answer.
It's impossible not to be super understanding.
Marie:
The heat stroke, I also had it during the next stage, that of
battles
, but I mastered it better.
I never took this scene for granted.
I know this is a great chance.
You don't get used to this type of moment, it's so intense.
