Last May in Rotterdam (Netherlands), Barbara Pravi was one step away from performing Marie Myriam’s performance in 1977 by winning the final of the Eurovision Song Contest. The 29-year-old singer finally had to settle for second place behind Italy led by the group Måneskin.
Friday September 9, Anne-Elizabeth Lemoine notably received Patrick Fiori in C to you on France 5. And it was his columnist, Patrick Cohen, who plunged the singer back into distant memories. Memories dating back to 1993. A year in which the great friend of Jean-Jacques Goldman had interpreted Mama Corsican, a song in French and Corsican that propelled him to fourth place. A position that should not be his, as indicated by the guest. “I should have finished third”he dropped before explaining himself. “But I got confused with a country, I will not name it. A very jealous gentleman, really badly brought up, who decided to pin me against the wall, all that. Well, he was aggressive. Well, I think that penalized us… Nobody knows that. I tell you because these images, I had never seen them”, he continued. Something to surprise your audience.
“Someone pinned you against a wall on Eurovision night. By threatening you? By telling you: suck?”asked the presenter, rushed by the revelations of the juror of The Voice Kids. “It doubles at Eurovision. It’s complicated. We didn’t get into that game. Because nobody knows that”he replied.
Revelations that no one expected on set!
