What were you thinking just before Nikos Aliagas announced the name of the winner?

I didn't think about winning at all because the other three super finalists were very good singers.

I didn't think Nikos could have said my name at all.

When I heard him say “Raynaud”, I was shocked, I couldn't believe it.

It really touched my heart.

I want to say thank you to everyone who voted for me.

What does this victory mean for you and for Reunion?

For me, that means a lot of things.

I would do anything for Reunion Island, for France too.

I love everyone, I have a good heart, even if someone is mean to me, it does not matter, I forgive him.

I am normal, I stay natural.

Patrick Fiori said that people had clubbed together in your village to allow you to participate in the show...

It's true.

Friends gave us money to fly, to buy food, to stay healthy.

If we hadn't been helped, we would have stayed in Reunion, we wouldn't have been able to come to Paris.

What kind of coach is Patrick Fiori?

He's super nice, adorable.

He is a very, very good coach.

We rehearsed and sang together.

He likes to sing with me.

He gave me pleasure, joy, happiness.

When we were both singing on the stage, I sang with the heart, I had fun, I let off steam.

I wanted to take advantage of this unique moment because I knew that other children would have liked to be in my place.

Are you going back to college soon?

I will resume classes in two weeks, when I return to Reunion.

My comrades are happy for me, they encouraged me.

Do you already know how you will organize yourself between college and music?

I do not know.

I will have to work on both.

School is very important to becoming an intelligent person.

I want to be a singer, make a career to achieve my dreams.

I have always sung with the heart for all the public.

I love everyone and I will love everyone until the end of my career.
