Saturday February 19, 2022, Bernard Montiel received Pascal Obispo on RFM from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. The singer was visiting the host to discuss the release of his new single From us. “A jewel“, according to the columnist of TPMP. The companion of Julie Hantson confided that he did not expect “the success of this song”.When I make songs, I try to do the best I can and do things that will touch me.“, he explained. According to him, the song would be a message to those who listen to it that they “are not alone”. The very difficult context of recent months has “caused people to be left alone often“, he recalls at the microphone of RFM. “I can’t wait to play it on stage.“, admits the singer.
But if he was touched and moved when talking about the difficult months that many French people have just gone through, Pascal Obispo was a little less tender with some of his fellow singers. When Bernard Montiel indeed played a cover of Music, a tube by Michel Berger which served as an anthem for Star Academy 2, the former juror of The Voice then took out the bazooka: “Ah yes, it’s a very bad version”he launches before adding: “It was very difficult that. We can’t ransack Berger like that.“

If Pascal Obispo does not really taste the resumption of Star Academy, he is also quite tough with the talents revealed by the show. “When you think of the number of people who were supposed to become singing stars and when you see those who stayed, that’s not a percentage point of view… So you can say that it’s almost a failure.“, he explained to TV Mag in 2012.
It must be said that the singer also had some doubts about the concept of The Voice and declared at the time: “When we work on an artist, we work on a whole, not only on a voice. Otherwise, there would be no Beyoncé, Rihanna or Britney Spears. If these girls are there, it’s because they have talent and are devilishly beautiful!“
