Bonnie Tyler will remember her coming to the star Academy. The 72-year-old British singer came to sing with Lénie his immense tube Total Eclipse Of The Heartalso known as Turn Aroundwhich popularized it around the world and which has sold millions of copies since its release in 1983. Fifty years after its release, it is with the youngest of the adventure that Bonnie Tyler came to share her success, but viewers were somewhat skeptical… On the Web, Internet users were more than virulent towards Bonnie Tyler, and felt that this performance was a poisoned gift for Lénie… which was precisely eliminated at the end of the primedespite herself escaping the semi-final.
Many viewers blamed Bonnie Tyler for having obviously forgotten the words of his songand not knowing when she should start singing: “Bonnie Tyler who discovers at the same time as us the parts she should sing” lamented a Twitter user. Another wanted to applaud Lénie, who saved the singer by singing part of her verse in her place: “When Bonnie Tyler forgets the words and when she has to sing and Lénie takes the lead. Explain me”. Others were much more virulent towards the one who represented the United Kingdom at the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest but suffered a bitter failure by finishing 19th out of 26: “A disaster”, “A fiasco”, “Go home!”
Bonnie Tyler admits her mistakes and apologizes
At the end of the performance, Bonnie Tyler was more than humble, and admitted to having wallowed. She wanted to congratulate Lénie, saying that the young woman had saved her, and had helped save their duo. An attitude that Twitter users applauded, rightly reminding us that many other artists would not have had this humility: “Frankly Bonnie Tyler who apologizes to Lénie and who admits having made a catastrophic performance, who thanks Lénie for having saved this duo well I say hats off to this lady because few internationally known artists would do it”, “Lénie’s reaction when Bonnie Tyler says she sang better than her. This girl is so humble, she deserves her place in semi!” A place that she unfortunately missed, since the viewers preferred to qualify Héléna, Julien and Axel.
