Dalida and Coluche came back to life a few months ago thanks to Thierry Ardisson. In fact, the journalist hosted the show Hotel du Temps on France 3 on June 23, 2023. A program in which he interviews missing artists using artificial intelligence. If the concept may appeal, others find it “strange” and even “creepy”. The proof, with Vianney
who clearly doesn’t seem a fan of the idea.
The 32-year-old artist was invited in Sing France this Friday. Facing Mickaël Dorian, the interpreter of Not here
revealed the name of the deceased artist he dreamed of singing with. “There are many, but Édith Piaf… I looked far away. Édith Piaf, it’s an incredible voice”he confided, admiring the talent of the Môme.

Vianney, embarrassed by Thierry Ardisson’s show
“There, they found images of Edith Piaf on stage. It was the INA which found brand new images. I went to look out of curiosity and, damn, she gave me a pie. It still exists today. In the world, she is more listened to than me. While I struggle, I am there every day with my songs”, he continues, still a fan of the talent and the character. For Vianney, “this woman had something extra.” “When I saw the images, I said to myself that it was stupid and that she was born a little too early. She could have been born there. She has always influenced me a little.”he concluded, visibly filled with regret for not having been born a little earlier.
The opportunity for Mickaël Dorian to remind him that it was possible, today, to reproduce the voices of missing people thanks to artificial intelligence, and even to create holograms as does Thierry Ardisson In Hotel of time
. Very little for Vianney… “Resurrecting a dead person by an AI, I find it horrible”he said in complete frankness before however assuring that he had a lot of “respect” for the work of Audrey Crespo-Mara’s companion. “But I find it ‘creepy’. I’m hallucinating, I’m fascinated, but it’s ‘creepy’!”he concluded, as honest as ever.
