In an interview with our colleagues of "Télé 2 semaines" Saturday, April 29, 2023, Zazie confided in her return as a coach in the twelfth season of "The Voice". If the interpreter of "Zen" is very happy to accompany her talents in the adventure, she was initially very embarrassed to resettle in the red armchair ...

The competition is still in full swing in The Voice! At the end of the battles, the best talents of the teams of Zazie, Bigflo and Oli, Vianney and Amel Bent, were selected for the next stage of the famous TF1 singing competition: the cross battles. A particularly stressful test for coaches who will have to compete against each other by opposing the candidates of their team.

Zazie would have liked to share The Voice adventure with Florent Pagny

Zazie, initially quite reluctant to return to the show, finally got caught up in the game. Despite the stress, the Zen interpreter intends to push his talents to go as far as possible in the competition. In an interview with Télé 2 weeks Saturday, April 29, 2023, the singer confided behind the scenes of this twelfth season of The Voice. A season she would have liked to live alongside a certain Florent Pagny... "I would have had fun because we are not necessarily on the same talents. He likes big voices and I like weird little voices. We would have fried, it would have been interesting for the public, "she imagined. Suffering from lung cancer, Florent Pagny was unfortunately unable to participate in The Voice this year.

"It's a matter of respect and admiration"

And it was Zazie who settled into her red chair. A situation that initially made her very uncomfortable: "I admit that I was not necessarily happy to have the seat of Florent!", confided the singer to Télé 2 weeks. "It's silly but it's a matter of respect and admiration," she said. "He's going through a pretty tough time, I've called him a lot. He told me: 'If you are in that chair, you will take people who have Castafiore voices'. He wasn't wrong!"

Florent Pagny, who is currently undergoing immunotherapy treatment, is therefore on everyone's mind... But, The Voice adventure continues regardless. "As for friendship, yes [his absence is felt, editor's note]. But in terms of technical and musical balance, the answer is no because everything is new from the moment we change the coaches, "said Vianney, also interviewed by our colleagues of Télé 2 weeks. "Florent is one of the pillars of the programme but, as he likes to say: 'We must not try to be bigger than the club'. I've had him on the phone several times to give him news of the shoots because I know he's interested." "We miss the friend but no one is irreplaceable, indeed," Zazie said. Not even Florent Pagny so...
