The rumor is growing on social networks. As the Paris 2024 Olympic Games approach, Aya Nakamurathe most listened to French-speaking artist in the world, would be about to participate in the opening ceremony of the sporting event. Emmanuel Macron, the President of the Republic, would even have proposed to the singer to interpret Édith Piaf. An idea that doesn’t seem to please everyone.
On the sets and on the networks, many French people point out this possibility. On March 3, Estelle Denis even assured that she preferred Patrick Bruel to the interpreter of Pookie
In Estelle Midi. For Raymond Domenech’s ex, it seems natural that France would call on “a monster of French song“. Even Michel Sardou would be a better choice: “He sang Barbara, he can sing Piaf, excuse me! You see, there I would have put Véronique Sanson”had notably railed the journalist.

If Karine Le Marchand’s friend is reluctant to see Aya Nakamura go on stage, she is obviously not the only one. On X, Internet users continue to be offended. For several hours, they have been imploring the Head of State to turn to another artist, in this case Chimene Badi.
Last August, the one who made her debut in the industry in 2002 thanks to Popstars was accompanied by children’s choirs during an evening hosted by Élodie Gossuin and Jérôme Anthony, from the heart of the Dôme de Paris, in tribute to farmers. An event during which the star had the chance to perform Ode to love by Edith Piaf. For tweeters, the choice is clear: Chimène Badi should open the Olympics.

“So this happened 6 months ago on TV and Macron thought of the vulgar Aya Nakamura for the 2024 Olympics? Clearly he’s trying to screw this guy up. Chimene Badi French of Algerian origin, so no it has nothing to do with racism but with talent and class”, assured a fan. And another to add: “I wonder why Emmanuel Macron, at the Olympics, chose Aya Nakamura who is vulgar, disrespectful, etc. Macron could have chosen Soprano, one of the French’s favorite artists, or the beautiful and talented Chimène Badi who sings Édith Piaf. It remains to be seen who will be made official for the opening ceremony…
