It was in 2020. Marc Lavoine joined the jury for one of TF1’s flagship programs for the first time, “The Voice: La Plus Belle Voix”. For this ninth season, he joined the other coaches of this edition, Pascal Obispo, Lara Fabian and Amel Bent. Rebelote the following year for the tenth season, in 2021 where he rubbed shoulders this time with Amel Bent, Florent Pagny and Vianney. But since then, nothing more, to the great regret of many viewers who appreciated its accuracy and its investment with the talents.
Guest of the RTL program “We redo the TV”, Marc Lavoine was questioned by Eric Dussart on a possible future return to the jury of “The Voice”. And it is an understatement to say that the interpreter of “Revolver Eyes” seemed somewhat embarrassed when the host asked him why he had decided to stop. “No, I haven’t decided… The Voice, for me, is a family now. I like them a lot, we talk to each other, they are very competent. But it’s true that there was only one woman in the last season and it’s better that there are at least two women… for parity”, he advanced at first.
The 60-year-old singer then went into more detail about the reasons for his current absence from the jury and it seems that it is not on his own. “I don’t know, it’s not for me to decide. If I had been offered to do it again, I would have seen things differently. Because I don’t talk about music so much in The Voice, I mainly talk about people who come to make their voices heard and that’s what I like. So, was I able to start over again, with all the work I have? It’s a lot of work, it’s a responsibility. To tell the truth is the only promise I can make to the artists who come to sing.” he justified. And to conclude: “If they think we can do something together again, I’d be happy to do it.” To be continued…
