Thursday, November 10, 2022, Jenifer was invited on the set of the show En aparté, on Canal +. The singer returned to her first duet with Johnny Hallyday in 2003, when she was pregnant with her first child.
A moment of his career engraved in his memory… In 2003, Jenifer performed alongside Johnny Hallyday the song I promise you in front of the public at the Parc des Princes. Thursday November 10, 2022, on the set of the show En aparté, on Canal +, it was after seeing images of their duet that the singer confided: “I am so admiring, like many people and I have this privilege to be able to share this moment with him.“Despite everything, Jenifer was very anxious before singing with Johnny Hallyday.”I was in front of 60,000, had my vocal cords fully retracted, and was 20 years old. I was pregnant with my first child, so with the hormones that do good, I had the total. I threw up just before going on stage, magnificent… I was afraid that he would smell that I had bad breath!“, she recalled, before adding: “I laughed a lot with him, especially during rehearsals. We were brought to sing a few times together and I always had a lot of tenderness coming from him. I don’t know, something, like he understands. We didn’t need to explain.“
Moved, the singer said: “It’s really a meeting that brought me a lot on an artistic level, on a personal level too. He gave me the best advice I could have received.“In addition, thanks to this meeting, she was able to fulfill her father’s dream.”He was everyone’s idol in my house, especially my dad (…) I made sure that he met. It was the first time I saw him with tears in my eyes. So absolute pride, of course, my daughter will sing with Johnny what“, she let go. Friday, December 11, 2018, after reviewing the images of this duo on the set of C à vous, on France 5, the artist had declared: “It’s always very impressive to see these images again. To find oneself next to a monument such as Johnny is an unforgettable memory. It was also a nice lesson. He was someone who immediately put me at ease. I was very apprehensive about going up on such a big stage. Him with his great voice… We had to be in a notion of sharing and there was a good exchange.“
Jenifer: “Johnny is the star par excellence”
Tuesday November 19, 2019, on the Touche set not at my post, on C8, the star revealed that he had met Johnny Hallyday for the first time when she was a child! “We all went to see him. He was off, but he banged all the kids in the village. We had taken the photo for the Corse Matin and I had dared to put my hand on his shoulder. I thought it was my only chance of my entire life, and then finally…“, she remembered. In November 2017, for Télé 7 jours, she had already indicated: “Johnny is the star par excellence. I admire his unwavering passion for what he does. Honesty is the promise of longevity.“Referring to their duet, she added:”I was so afraid of not being up to it! Behind the scenes, his first words were: ‘Don’t worry, it’s going to be fine.’ He reassured me a lot, and he was ironic about my fear. I have the vocal cords which retract when I am taken by the emotion. He managed to relax me by making me laugh during rehearsals.“
