“Alone on the sand, eyes in the water…” The phenomenon “Helene“, Roch Voisine hasn’t stopped hearing about it! And the 60-year-old Canadian singer is a little fed up with his career being summed up in this box. Also, this November 27, 2023, while he complained about it on the set of “Telematin”host Marie Portolano called him to reason.
“It’s still a success!“
The handsome hunk explained this morning: “When you think that I have made 30 albums, 8 special projects, 22 originals, and when you arrive in a country or in a place where you are defined quite quickly because today it is like that, and that you are identified only by one title. It was difficult for several years to finally arrive with the others, there were other titles, and people know other titles, it became annoying at one point“.
And Grégoire Ludig’s wife asked him: “Do you realize, yes it’s annoying but you are one of those people who make such an incredible hit that stays stuck for years, it’s still a success!”
Fortunately not ungrateful, Roch Voisine concluded: “I’d rather manage that than not have had any (success) at all.” with the approval of Thomas Sotto who finally commented: “Yes that’s it”.
On the occasion of the 35th anniversary of his cult song, in a very frank interview with France Blue, Roch Voisine had explained that after Hélène had been difficult for him. And to reveal: “It’s not because I didn’t like the song that I didn’t like singing it. On the contrary”.
His parade in the middle of a concert
Preferring to laugh, Roch Voisine, who will be back in France in spring 2024, ensures that he opens his concerts with “Helene”and that he is ironic by telling the public: “Okay, it’s done, those who came for that can go home, the others have two hours of music.”
