“Who came up with this crazy idea one day to rank our idols?” ? For the end of year celebrations, Le Figaro decided to take stock of nearly 100 years of French song and to rank the singers in a unique program.
For this Thibaut Gauthier brought together the musical elite with Olivier Nuc, head of the music department of Le Figaro, and Nicolas Ungemuth, of Figaro Magazine. We played a simple game like a Top 50 hit: draw 50 names, give our opinion on the work of these artists and classify them to arrive at our list of the 30 greatest French singers.
Who from Johnny Hallyday, Gilbert Bécaud, Edith Piaf, Véronique Sanson, Jul or Orelsan will win the diamond disc? Expertise, anecdotes and bad faith are present in this program. And, above all, don’t hesitate to share your top 30 in the comments. Onward to the music!
