Gone are the days when the young 24-year-old candidate landed on Nouvelle Star with his ukulele, his cap screwed on his head and his mustache.

Since his first album

Ersatz

, released ten years ago, Julien Doré has come a long way.

He will conclude his triumphant tour

& you

Wednesday evening at Bercy and live on TMC.

He even became one of those French

crossover

artists , managing to touch all generations at the same time.

Because good.

You could say the guy got off to a bad start.

He still almost got rejected from the castings of a show from which he emerged victorious a few months later.

20 minutes

tells you why everyone can, in theory, adore Julien Doré.

  • Because he is quite nice and quite funny

We know Julien Doré for his self-mockery and his not really unpleasant mood.

And it started on the set of

Nouvelle Star

, where the young man was rather joking, and even a little perched.

Julien Doré didn't take himself seriously.

Pins and bars in the hair, the public quickly adopted his style of “talented little idiot that we like”.

However, the singer is often the target of criticism on social networks.

In question, his songs are too often declarations of love, calls for sex, or even words a little "cucul la praline".

Faced with this, he prefers to do Julien Doré.

That is to say, to respond with the most total derision.

That's why we took the liberty of making a small top 3 of his best tweets.

Ah.

Good.

  • Because he is a singer-songwriter

Julien Doré first revealed himself in the quality of these interpretations on

M6

bonuses, making him the French champion of covers.

That of

Lolita

that we owe to our dear Alizée has often earned her four blues from the jury and her first single.

A year after the show, the native of Alès (Gard) released a first album entitled

Ersatz

.

If he does not write all the pieces, he participates greatly.

Which led him, gradually, to write and compose most of his texts for the following records -

Bichon

(2011),

LOVE

(2013), then

&

(2016).

He also comes to collaborate with big names in French song from Françoise Hardy to Yvette Horner.

And since 2009, Julien Doré has been winning awards.

That year, he received the

Paris Match

trophy for artist of the year, an NRJ Music Award for his song

Les Limites

, a Victoire de la Musique in the revelation album category for

Ersatz

and for the best music video .

.

In 2014,

GQ magazine named him "Musician of the Year", as did

France Bleu

radio

.

In 2015, it is the consecration with the reward of "male performer" at the Victoires de la Musique.

And this year, he won a Crystal Globe and the RTL award for album of the year for

&.

  • 'Cause he's got the baby look

Going from teenager with a downright relaxed look to that of rocker then that of dandy, Julien Doré has also grown up well.

His latest development is that long mane that he let grow down his back, increasingly slim jeans and denim or leather jackets.

At the same time, to sing

Sublime & Silence

with a biker gang or dance with Pamela Anderson, you better be well equipped.

He also likes jackets with wolves, "because wolves are present in the Mercantour, where I wrote and recorded my last album", he explains to Culturebox.

  • 'Cause we're not gonna get carried away either

We

hesitated to title this article: "Julien Doré best French artist of all time and adored by all (except idiots)", then we said to ourselves: be careful not to get carried away either.

Let's say he is one of those French artists of the moment, well in his time and his sneakers.

After the death of Johnny Hallyday, many imagined who could succeed him as national idol, and we found... no one.

We looked at Charles Aznavour and Véronique Sanson, Jean-Jacques Goldman and Françis Cabrel, even Patrick Bruel or Yannick Noah.

None is

crossover enough,

multi-generational AND rooted in its time, popular AND sharp in its genre, showman AND poet, intimidating AND accessible, as our Johnny was.

As a result, some have thought of Julien Doré…

The future will tell us if it is cut out for adventure.

In the meantime, it is Eddy de Pretto, one of the revelations and hope of the new French song at the end of 2017, who will take care of the first part of Julien Doré this evening at the AccorHotels Arena.

It's beautiful, the talents that make you discover new ones.
