The years go by and they all look the same. On February 19, TF1 will broadcast a new bonus from “The Voice” which should move many viewers. In particular by discovering the emotion of Florent Pagny bursting into tears on learning the tragic story of a talent who came to try his luck in tele-hook. This is 66-year-old Daniel Defilipi, making it known in his portrait that he is “actor, singer. I am 66 years old. Tonight I want to go on stage for my wife, for Marie-Cécile because I am convinced that where she is, she guides me. Victor Hugo wrote “You are no longer where you were but you are everywhere I am” and that is very true”.
Although the coaches are not yet aware of the heartbreaking story of Daniel Defilipi, he will still manage to touch them, hidden behind their armchair, by interpreting a title from 1974 by Claude-Michel Schönberg, The first step, as our colleagues from Télé-Loisirs point out. It is only once the coaches have returned that the artist will tell his story. “I sang for more than 30 years and then one day I stopped. It no longer gave me pleasure. Some time ago, unfortunately, I lost my wife and we were very close”he revealed before adding: “Without looking, when I hadn’t played the piano in over a year, a song came out. I posted it on social media and got a lot of messages from people thanking me for “wrote this song because it made them feel good. They were in the same situation as me. I understood that a song could make someone feel good”.
Vianney then asked him to perform one of his songs in which the artist sings and pays tribute to his late wife. “I knew very well that one day one of us was going to leave. And it’s you, my love, who leaves me all our memories. I knew very well that one evening, I was going to cry like a child, the end of our history, nothing will be like before”, he sings, plunging Florent Pagny into deep emotion. A reaction that greatly surprised his colleague and friend Marc Lavoine who threw at him: “I’ve never seen you like this”. There is no doubt that viewers will have the same reaction when they discover it next Saturday.
