Friday November 18, 2022, TF1 broadcast the NRJ Music Awards ceremony, live from Cannes. Rewarded at the end of the evening, Mr. Pokora did not hide his annoyance during his acceptance speech.
The ceremony is getting longer and longer… Friday November 18, 2022, TF1 broadcast the 24th edition of the NRJ Music Awards. For the first time, Camille Combal was in charge. And for good reason, Nikos Aliagas could not go to Cannes. A few days earlier, the host fell two meters on the Star Academy set. Despite everything, many singing stars have won trophies, such as Big Flo and Oli, Angèle, David Guetta, or even Orelsan. During the ceremony, Jenifer received from the hands of M.Pokora an NRJ Music Awards of honor. The singer meanwhile has to wait many hours before being awarded a prize. Indeed, the trophy for French Song of the Year was awarded around one o’clock in the morning. The named titles were This eveningof Amir, Quickdrawby Aya Nakamura feat Damso, Getting oldfrom Big Flo and Oli, Heartby Clara Luciani, My heartfrom Izia, outsummerby Keen’V, Evaby Kendji Girac, who we areby Mr. Pokora, The questfrom Orelsan, Recipeby Slimane, sweetlySoolking and finally, vengamiby Soprano feat Gradur.
Shortly before one o’clock in the morning, it was after hearing his name that Mr. Pokora went on stage. Alongside Camille Combal, he dropped: “Until the end of the night that one…Deciding to drive home the point, the singer said, “I didn’t expect my audience to be awake again at this hour to go wild over the number, so thank you very much. Thank you for this trophy! (…) I would like to thank those who stayed so late to vote for me. Thank you from the heart !” Proud to have won a new NRJ Music Awards, Christina Milian’s husband added for his fans: “You are always there, it’s the best story. Thanks again and at least I could tell my kids that I didn’t leave home for nothing. It’s for them tonight!“
Mr. Pokora: “I will thank you as it should be”
A little later in the night, it was on Twitter that the singer let his joy explode. “The 15th at the end of the night! A career is a long-distance race, not a sprint… 20 years with you, the best public. We know each other. And be ready for the huge tour that is coming. I will thank you properly. Thank you to the NRJ Music Awards 2022 and congratulations to all the winners tonight!“, he wrote. In the comments section, his fans were numerous to congratulate him. It can thus be read: “We’re together Matt, it’s not moving. You have been delighting us for years, we have to give you that back, it’s the minimum, thank you!“; “Congratulations boss! We did everything and it worked. Seeing you happy is our greatest gift. See you soon on the tour“; “You have given your all for us for 20 years, we had to wait and give everything to the end. Proud of you, proud of the team we are, proud to bring this 15th gem home!” ; but also : “You are a great man and an outstanding hard worker. You deserve your reward tonight. Congratulations and well done again. Your children will be happy tomorrow!“
