A recent study carried out by Odoxa reveals that 80% of French people know Aya Nakamura. However, the most listened to French artist on Spotify is far from unanimous, and the possibility that she will oversee the opening of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games is not well received by a majority of French people. Indeed, 63% of French people surveyed by the institute say they are dissatisfied, and do not want the interpreter of Pookie to be the representation of France internationally. However, a few days ago, Emmanuel Macron assured that Aya Nakamura was the artist best placed to sing at the 2024 Olympics, sixty years after Édith Piaf. The comparison between the two stars, somewhat clumsy, had caused a lively controversy, and outraged many columnists and editorialists on TV sets.
In detail, Odoxa reveals that three-quarters of French people do not appreciate Aya Nakamura’s songs and estimate “that it does not represent French music” (73%), “nor youth” (60%). The French were also surveyed on the personalities they would like to see shine on the stage of the 2024 Olympic Games, and unsurprisingly, these are those who appear in the annual ranking of the JDD
who come first. Thus, 26% of respondents asked for Jean-Jacques Goldman, followed by Florent Pagny (25%), Vianney (20%) and Soprano (16%). Louane is the first woman cited, and comes in fifth position, just ahead of David Guetta, Grand Corps Malade, Mylène Farmer, Clara Luciani, Daft Punk and finally Michel Sardou, who close the top 10.
The 2024 Olympics lead to a series of controversies
Will this study be heard by the organizers of the Olympic Games? Tony Estanguet reacted a few days ago to the mocking and viral sketch of the Enfoirés, who attacked it during their concert at the 2024 Olympics, sources of criticism and controversy for several months. As D-day approaches, there are more and more criticisms, but the director of the 2024 Olympics and the Minister of Sports Amélie Oudéa-Castéra prefer to laugh about it: “This summer, in Paris, hotels are overpriced, I rented my studio for 14,000 euros, You had to go into debt to buy just one small ticket, More than 1000 euros for taekwondo” for example, mocked Patrick Fiori and Michaël Youn. The Olympics have not finished making people talk about them…
