“I have never sung so badly in my entire life,” breathes young Manon, in tears, after her battle against Adnaé. Despite all his efforts and the encouragement of his coaches Biglfo and Oli, installed on the stage of The Voice, the 18-year-old teenager did not manage to get the rhythm of the song, Cécile my daughter by Claude Nougaro.
“Manon, you break my heart”
His grimaces in the face of his opponent Adnaé suggested his dismay, his disappointment too. At this stage of the competition, the candidates know that the slightest error can be fatal. “There was stress, it’s part of the game,” emphasizes Bigflo after Manon’s big miss. Vianney, for his part, feels sorry for the teenager and, against all expectations, even grants her his vote, certainly advisory but which should help Bigflo and Oli decide between their two talents. “Manon, you break my heart because I find you hard on yourself, that’s why I voted for you”, justifies the interpreter of Father in law. “I found it too sung in Adnaé, too vibrant, too lyrical on a song where we want it to be much more narrative and simple. Manon, know that in terms of attitude, you succeeded very well”, adds Vianney, very caring.
Manon’s mistake penalized Adnaé, underlines Zazie
Her seatmate Zazie doesn’t let anything slip by. “Yes Manon you were more accurate in terms of meaning”, concedes the singer. “But you were early on both verses.” According to Zazie, this error penalized Adnaé. “I voted for Adnaé because she has to sing after Manon, she has to catch up, and she did it systematically! Each time, she got back on her feet (…) It’s all work, It interferes a lot with what we may have decided to do!” After this comment, Bigflo and Oli do not leave much suspense.
“We’re not going to lie, it was your worst performance… But it happens. It’s stress, how many times it’s already happened to us too,” begins Bigflo. “It’s a great lesson for the rest of your careers. Manon, I loved your approach, I have the impression that you lived the text, that you absorbed it,” continues Oli. Alas, Manon’s very accurate interpretation will not have succeeded in making us forget her blunder. Bigflo and Oli choose Adnaé for the rest of the adventure. Viewers will also see her for the cross-battles which begin next Saturday evening!
