A disappointment that does not go away. On February 11, the 37th edition of the Victoires de la Musique will take place, an event from the musical Seine presented by an unprecedented duo composed of Olivier Minne and Laury Thilleman. Only here, a few days ago, we discovered with the final list of nominees in each category that Grand Corps Malade was absent subscribers. An inconsistency for the slammer
In “Touche pas à mon poste”, Cyril Hanouna had shouted all his anger in the face of what he considers to be a big injustice. “I’m going to boycott this evening which is nameless shit. I tell you, it sucks! Missing from the list. Grand Corps Malade. Biggest record seller!”he blurted out.
Guest of the TF1 magazine “7 to 8”, Grand Corps Malade returned to this decision which hurt him. “I was disappointed, very disappointed. It’s definitely my biggest year as an artist, singer. So I thought maybe I had my chances at the Victoires de la Musique. We won’t have any, for the good reason that we have zero nominations. But then, we have a few little clues to try to understand…“, he launched.
And Fabien Marsaud, his real name, to argue: “There is a distribution between the record companies which is complicated. With my producer Jean-Rachid, we have a small independent label. Throughout the label, we have one voter, that’s me. Except the majors, they have 45 voters and they’re not going to vote for an artist who’s on an independent label. So inevitably, it questions the voting system. That evening, I will be at the zenith of Clermont-Ferrand so I will have neither the temptation nor the frustration of watching my colleagues have Victories”. All in all, a nice little revenge.
