In the evening there are different types of people (without being mutually exclusive, of course we can be all these personalities at the same time): those who like to dance to frenetic rhythms and those who believe in karaoke, with a special mention if it can be done on songs listened to from their parents. This is one of the reasons why even 20-somethings love to scream lyrics to ” Individual partners still released in 1985, lending itself to risky steps, even a good old mosh. For Juliette Armanet there is even worse song to launch today: ” Connemara lakes by Michel Sardou, released in 1981. Thus explained the singer, born in 1984, to the microphone of the Belgian program “Tipik” on the RTB extensionreleased on August 5, 2023.
For Juliette Armanet, “Les Lacs du Connemara” by Michel Sardou, “is on the right”
In an isolated sequence that is now running on TikTok and Twitter, we hear the interviewer ask him:
“What are the three titles where, if you enter the theater, and there is that evening, it’s a no, you don’t enter? »
Juliette Armanet replies:
“Thrice ‘The Lake of Connemara’. It really is a song that disgusts me deeply. The scout side, sectarian, the music is dirty. It’s from the right. Nothing is right. »
While we could put things into context by remembering that this is a light show about unpopular opinions, and it turns out anecdotally that the singer doesn’t like this song which is part of French musical heritage, whether we like it or not, it was enough to provoke the ire of the fans of Michel Sardou and the right (which are often one and the same…).
When the media gets into the dance of “Connemara” vs. Juliet Armanet

“You stole my son / You shed my blood […] You killed a love child / I want you dead / I’m for »
In issue 20 of Auctioneer review in 2022, researchers Solène Brun and Claire Cosquer published an entire article titled “ Michel Sardou, popular songs and reactionary provocations on the conservatism of this great friend of Nicolas Sarkozy, who likes to dictate what it means ” Be a woman from the 80s to 2010.
In short, yes, Michel Sardou is right. And, technically, some of his songs explicitly are. Then you are free to separate the man from the artist, for it is true that” Connemara lakes escape. On the other hand, if you refuse to separate the woman from the artist, you can always listen” Michael by Juliette Armanet.
