Virage à 180 degré !

Last week, I decided I was finally getting to listen québécois music, because im from here, and i was still stuck with my outdated idea that our music sucked (well i mean i still generally think that, but we do have a few good songs here and there, just like anywhere else :) ).

As usual : Song titles link to individual mp3 file download

All 5 songs can also be downloaded together in a zip file from the link at the bottom

I wasnt originally gonna post only about women, but here, they're all women :D (J'avais aussi pas planifié de mettre 3/5 tounes de Plamondon, but here we are sljkdaksjhhd)

Céline Dion - Je danse dans ma tête

Cause I, too, am d-d-d-d-dancing in my head :3

Je danse dans ma tête was on Dion Chante Plamondon, from 1991

tw flashing/moving lights for this video

Luce Dufault - Quand on s'en va pour oublier

I listened to this album, recently, and I figured my mom probably listened to this album a lot, as I had forgotten about this until then. It also confirmed me I always liked dramatic music lol.

Quand on s'en va pour oublier was on Luce Dufault's eponymous album, released in 1996

Marie Carmen - Piaf chanterait du rock

This is a new discovery for me ! I didnt know Marie Carmen did rock before doing what she is known for, nowaday :) And, not gonna lie, she's probably right, it would make sense that Piaf would have turned to rock, had she been in the 80's rather than the 40's lol I also want to say that I always, always, always fucking LOVED Marie Carmen's voice (ironically this one song doesn't really show her iconic voice but oh well)

Piaf chanterait du rock is on the Dans la Peau album, from 1988-89 depending on the source... (song is from 86, fwiw)

(there also is a very bad quality video clip on yt , which is delightful, but yeaaah.....)

Marjo - Y'a des matins

The apple didn't fall too far from the tree and I inherited my mother's appreciation for Marjo/Corbeau :) I had like 5 songs i wanted to put here, but I chose this one cause it's stuck in my head lmao

Also appreciating how Marjo never tried to hide her québécois accent, too ♥

Y'a des matins was on the album Tant qu'il y aura des enfants, released in 1990

Nanette Workman - Ce soir on danse à Naziland

So i listened the original studio recording of Starmania for the first time, a couple days ago, and it struck me how much nothing changed. The first thing I noticed is how queer the story is ! It made me wonder how we regressed so much since 1978...

I also thought the subject matter of this song in particular was still very, very relevant. (also just to prove mariah carey isnt the only one with whistling notes lol (also also they cut it when it plays on the radio, here :( ))

Ce soir on danse à Naziland was on Starmania, in 1978. (discogs is wrong on this one... 79 that's when the show opened, not when this was recorded)

trigger warning : FLASHING LIGHTS for this one too *light flashing disco-ly*

i wanna point out that they censored the title, here, for the same reason i think it's very, very relevant...

Starmania 1993

This first version of the show created without Michel Berger …

Performed from 1993 to 2001 at the Théâtre Mogador, then at the Palais des Congrès to continue at the Palais des Sports and finish at the Casino de Paris, we can almost say that it is a traveling show !

This version will have a controversial success, part of the public will love it while the other will simply hate it

The costumes were considered ugly and the staging bordered on the psychedelic, some critics would even say that this version was a betrayal /a terrible parody of the original show

The album :

What made this version unique was the possibility of language choice

In English on Friday (probably to pay homage to the Tycoon project) and naturally in French the rest of the week

DISTRIBUTION :

Johnny Rockfort :

Bruno Pelletier ( 1993 - 1995 )

Norman Groulx ( 1995 - 1999 )

Frank Sherbourne ( 1999 - 2001 )

Cristal :

Judith Bérard ( 1993 - 1996 )

Edith Fortin ( 1996 - 2001 )

Marie-Jeanne :

Luce Dufault ( 1993 - 1995 )

Isabelle Boulay ( 1995 - 1997 )

Joane Labelle ( 1998 - 1999 )

Lulu Hugues ( 1999 - 2001 )

Zéro Janvier :

Michel Pascal ( 1993 - 1997 / 2000 - 2001 )

Richard Groulx ( 1997 - 1999 )

Martin Fontaine ( 1999 - 2000 )

Stella Spotlight : Patsy Gallant

Ziggy :

Andy Cocq ( 1999 - 2001 )

Sadia :

Jasmine Roy ( 1993 - 1996 )

Marie Carmen ( 1996 )

Véronique Béliveau ( 1997 )

Kwin ( 1997 - 2001 )

Liners :

Norman Groulx / Jean Ravel / Jasmine Roy / Sabrina Lory / Éric Melville

( I find it fascinating to rediscover these three members of the 1988 troop in completely different roles )

Clip :

Legally speaking there is only one official recording of the show with the troupe from 2000, but a recording of Tycoon, probably filmed discreetly by a spectator is available :

Tycoon 1993 :

Fanmade of the 1994 French version :

Starmania 2000 :

ANECDOTES :

For the first time Roger Roger is no longer a human character

He is now a robot with the voice of Muriel Robin in French and Tim Rice in English

For the tour across France the robot will not be used for budgetary reasons , his lines of dialogue will be distributed to other characters

...

I don't talk about it in my other pages but Cristal's death has evolved a lot over time !!

1979 : She falls from the roof of Naziland

1988 : Zero's guards shoot her

1993 : Her bomb makes her explode

2000 : Zero January strangles her with his bare hands

2022 : Sadia shoots her

...

For the first time

The auditions for the role of Sadia were open to men !!

Unfortunately at the time of writing Sadia has still not been interpreted by a man ...

...

Andy Cocq and Eric Melville were spotted by Plamondon when they both auditioned for Notre Dame de Paris !!

...

Andy Cocq is one of the big names in the world of French musicals, having played in Emilie Jolie 2002, le Soldat Rose , Doty et le magicien d'Oz , the French adaptations of Spamlot and the Producers

Which I had the chance to see at the Paris theater in 2022

...

Luce Dufault is the only performer in the history of Starmania to have performed on stage while she was 6 months pregnant

...

Technical accident occurred at the Mogador when Bruno Pelletier's long hair was found stuck while he was suspended in the air and had to go down on stage roped up !

The show stopped and Plamondon himself came on stage to reassure the audience, in his own words :

A member of the black stars must be able to face any eventuality !

...

In 1995, Stella Spotlight's slide dress hit the stage…

Without Patsy Gallant !

The singer had gone backstage to quench her thirst and had forgotten that she had to make a short appearance on stage

More Starmania ? Curious to discover other French musicals ?

My Masterlist is here :
