The stage of “The Voice” is conducive to astonishing covers. This Saturday March 9 was not lacking, when a candidate covered a flagship disco title in his own way. Enough to create unanimity among the coaches who did not hide their emotion.
The fifth session of the blind auditions of The Voice (TF1) brought together eclectic talents. And some do not lack creativity to offer on stage original covers. For example, that of Vernis Rouge, widely publicized by the production of TF1, had created controversy by covering “Organized Band” by the collective of Marseille rappers 13’Organisé, while convincing the duo Bigflo and Oli.
This Saturday, March 9, didn’t cut it. After the solar recovery of the “Moulins of my heart” of young Flora And a rapped rendition of “Ces gens-là” by Jacques Brel by a former unsuccessful candidate, it is a 27-year-old nursery school teacher who stood out. Originally from Bordeaux, hat on his head and guitar slung over his shoulder, Clément Serra chose to transform a 1970s hit into a fireside ballad: “YMCA” by the Village People.
