“The Voice” 2021: Vianney chooses two black candidates to take over Beyoncé and exasperates viewers: Femme Actuelle Le MAG


After the blind auditions, it’s time for the battles. Saturday March 27, 2021, viewers of TF1 discovered the long awaited new step of The Voice. The coaches saw their talents compete before eliminating some of them. An evening rich in suspense since Vianney, Florent Pagny, Marc Lavoine and Amel Bent were able to fish out apprentice singers from other teams who were not selected for the next event.

Florent Pagny opened the ball with the “powerful voices”, by Giada and Thomas on the title of Johnny Hallyday Requiem for a fool. Behind the scenes, the interpreter of Know how to love and One day a woman was able to count on the support of Patrick Fiori to coach his candidates. If both are “good customers” to continue the adventure, the 33-year-old Italian was chosen.

This choice of Vianney that Internet users have deplored

The evening continued with a battle engaged on the side of Vianney. With the help of Véronique Sanson, the young man asked Stellia and Mentissa to resume the cult title Freedom by Beyoncé. A piece that is reminiscent of movement Black Lives Matter. A monument of American anti-racism “ for two young women who have “immense freedom” according to the Zebulon of the red armchair. A choice that has not yet been unanimous on Twitter. And for good reason…

If the two candidates ignited the scene of The Voice with their energy and complicity, the Web became exasperated. For many Internet users, Vianney was too “cliche” choosing two young women of color to resume this engaged piece. “The two blacks together, to sing Beyoncé … good …”, “Vianney or finesse” or “Like his candidates are black so …. he imposes a song by Beyonce? Who denounces racism?”, can we read among the many tweets of Internet users. If Vianney has decided to keep Mentissa in his team, Stellia has joined Florent Pagny’s team. All’s well that ends for the two singers that viewers will find in the rest of the adventure The Voice.
