    “I like his technical ear.

    He hears the irregularities with a voice, he advises, ”explains Anaïd.

We owe him one of the highlights of the penultimate evening of blind auditions broadcast Saturday on TF1.

Anaïd, French of Armenian origin, performed

Je suis une tomb

by Vincent Baguian on the set of

The Voice

, accompanied by his brother and his father.

His recovery upset the coaches.

For

20 Minutes

, she returns to the message she wanted to convey and how she lived this moment.

How does it feel to you to have "turned the heart", in his words, of Marc Lavoine?

His testimony - we saw that he was moved - also turned me around.

There was a big blank at the end of our performance.

We no longer knew what to say.

Our message has been understood.

The coaches were able to find the right words to express their feelings.

You didn't choose this song by chance.

It is about roots, Armenian identity ...

This song is loaded with emotion and particularly touches me.

It is the bridge between the country of my roots, Armenia, and the country where I was born, France.

I wanted to send a message of peace and hope, to say that we are in France but that we do not forget where we come from.

It was important for me to get this message across in French so that as many people as possible can understand. 

When you auditioned in November, there was a war going on in Nagorno-Karabakh, between Armenia and Azerbaijan ...

This brought a stronger character to our performance.

We were on the set of

The Voice

but our minds were elsewhere and that's what made this performance even more unique.

As Armenians, we want to live in peace on our ancestral land.

It is this message, without animosity, universal, of peace and hope, that I wanted to convey.

As Armenians, we are proud to sing about our roots and we do not lose our culture.

The Armenian community in France is very large.

What message would you like to send him?

It is true that our diaspora is scattered all over France and around the world, like all those who have suffered wars, genocide.

I would like to address Armenians but also non-Armenians to tell them that we are still standing, still alive, that we want to move forward with our heads held high but also with a free spirit, taking only the best of our culture: live music, transmit our history through song.

This is what is most beautiful, it must be perpetuated.

I will never stop writing about my roots as a performer.

Speaking of transmission, your father and brother musicians accompanied you on stage.

Was it obvious to share this moment with them?

For me, it was important to surround myself with my own people.

We have already played together, we have a traditional music group.

There, we were not accompanied by the orchestra of

The Voice

.

We were only the three of us, it added an intimate character.

It was a naked, open heart.

Vianney heard the pure nature of our performance.

He must have heard that there was a certain singularity with just a percussion and a wind instrument. 

Is it the fact that he talks about this "purity" that made you decide to join his team?

Among others.

This pure character is what I want to convey from Armenian music.

I also like Vianney's technical ear.

He hears irregularities with a voice, he advises.

I found his intervention to be very direct and fair.

We heard you in a very specific register.

Are you ready to sing French variety or English pop in the telecrochet suite?

From the start, I demonstrated my love for French song, singers, poets, voice, text.

For me as an author, words matter.

For the rest, I want to stay in my guiding idea, English is well represented in the show but I want to keep the French language.

Afterwards, why not take risks?

Go tickle other registers ... What I will be advised, I will follow.
