    Zazie had insomnia while Florent Pagny was pragmatic.

It's mathematical and

The Voice All Stars

equation

is relentless.

Inviting around fifty emblematic talents from the ten seasons of

The Voice

to try their luck again at blind auditions, with only thirty places available for the next stage, implies leaving about twenty on the floor.

This also means that those who had successfully crossed the first test of the TF1 telecrochet in the past would do less well than during their first participation.

And for the five coaches who have not returned their chairs, this implies deploying diplomatic talents.

"I was afraid of humiliation"

Florent Pagny is pragmatic: "We know that we cannot look back on everyone". But he recalls that "the specifications of this program are benevolence". Despite everything, Zazie almost refused this responsibility. “I was afraid of humiliation. At first, I didn't sleep. Afterwards, we take a step back to protect ourselves from affectivity, ”she explains. Mika, too, had doubts: "I was not convinced right away, I did not understand how it was going to work". For him, the fact that former candidates are playing the game again, "it's fantastic, but it takes courage."

According to Matthieu Grelier, the show's producer, all the talents contacted agreed to return. In other words, none refused to return. “They were prepared for failure. It was not "if I lose I lost everything" ", advance Patrick Fiori who emphasizes that this" all stars brings together the best of the best ". To appear in the casting would therefore already be a victory in itself. On paper, the honor is safe, but it can be more difficult to live with once the cameras are on. It is then up to the coaches to find the right words.

“I know that you made three albums, that this key opened a door on a consequent career. You've been filling rooms for years, ”Mika justified himself against Luc Arbogast in the first show of the season broadcast on Saturday. It's a bit like the telecrochet equivalent of "You have too many qualities, you're too good for me" released during a breakup. Florent Pagny, he hinted that he would not know what to do in the rest of this season with the countertenor with a medieval touch. "Your universe is so defined that we recognize you right away and we say to ourselves:" What are we going to do to go looking for titles to make voice contests while your path is perfectly defined with that deep voice and that head voice that rises very high? " "

"Keep working, don't be afraid of ridicule"

Marie, 16, ex-

The Voice Kids

, was also turned down at the premiere.

Zazie bet on the professional advice.

The teenager confides that she does not yet have enough self-confidence to sing songs that she has written and composed?

“You have to try, you will never be ridiculous because you have this capacity as an interpreter, encouraged the singer of

Rue de la Paix

.

Keep working, don't be afraid of being ridiculed, even if you use simple words.

»To highlight the room for improvement at the same time as to salute the precocious talent: the combo is effective for the young girl to leave with a smile.

Sometimes - this is rarer - a candidate himself removes the thorn from the side of the coaches. “Listen: have a good season, especially have fun! Be happy and continue to stay alive as you are! », Launched Frédéric Longbois, with the elegance of those who manage to keep their countenance - including when two plastic pineapples levitate above his shoulders. The whimsical semi-finalist of season 7 will not go further, but he will have made his gala visit and gleaned congratulations for his joie de vivre.

“There are many that we didn't take and that said thank you very much!

Zazie is surprised in retrospect.

Mika explains: “They know the mechanics, they have a different emotional posture.

Even in their speeches.

There is a discussion, they know how to respond.

Patrick Fiori wonders if there were really disappointments.

And to remember that if leaving the anniversary edition on the first evening can pass for a poor performance, with this new highlight, “they are not immune to success”.

Who loses wins a little?
