It was undoubtedly the most anticipated revival, and one of the most publicized, of “The Voice” (TF1). During the third round of blind auditions, Saturday March 2, Vernis Rouge presented its cover of “Bande Organisée” by the Marseille collective 13’Organisé. But the communication surrounding his performance annoyed some fans.
The blind auditions for the thirteenth season of The Voicecontinue on TF1. This Saturday, March 2, a highly anticipated performance has finally been broadcast : that of the mysterious Red Varnish, who tackled a cult piece of French rap, “Organized Band”. Sung four years ago by Marseille rappers Jul, SCH, Kofs, Naps, Soso Maness, Elams, Solda and Houari, brought together on the album 13’Organized , the title has moved into a completely different register in the hands of Vernis Rouge.
A week before the full broadcast of the sequence, fans of The Voicealready discovered Vernis Rouge. An excerpt of its cover had in fact been broadcast by the production. A success: on Youtube, the video accumulated 120,000 views just a few hours after it was posted online. The choice of the song and its contrast with the suave voice of the young Lebanese artist also divided on Instagram, where the video was viewed 3 million times.

The promotion of Vernis Rouge considered excessive
At any rate, Vernis Rouge’s full performance was highly anticipated and the production of TF1 understood this well. On the evening of Saturday March 2, excerpts were shown twice before the commercials to arouse the curiosity of viewers. A few hours before, Vernis Rouge herself released the clip for her cover on its social networks and on streaming platforms.
But this promotion was not to the taste of some fans, who found it exaggerated. “They are doing too much with the performance of Vernis Rouge by broadcasting it everywhere and even as a teaser just before the ad, when it’s his turn it’s not going to matter to us in the end” can we read on the social network

Vernis Rouge joined Bigflo and Oli’s team
Some were even more disappointed that, of all the coaches, only Bigflo was immediately convinced by performance, pressing his red button without consulting his brother Oli. “So they gave us two weeks of advertising for a girl who had half an armchair turned over?!”wonders an Internet user.“On the other hand, TF1, they are crooks. All that for this. There was nothing special with Vernis Rouge”complains a user.
If there were disappointments, others also welcomed the bold choice of the young woman and were delighted to see her join the adventure. On the set, even Oli, initially upset that his brother had made a choice for both of them, ended up saying welcoming words for the singer. The next few weeks will be an opportunity to see what Vernis Rouge has in store.
