The 38th ceremony of Victoires de la Musique was held on Friday, February 11, 2023. Ten categories were awarded tonight, presented by Laury Thilleman (first time solo, Editor’s note) from the Seine Musicale de Boulogne-Billancourt. This event lived up to its promises by delivering some moments of intense emotion.
Honorary President of the night, Calogero, made his mark on the attention of music professionals in a short time in his opening speech. “As Honorary President of Victoires de la Musique, I appeal to professionals: label holders, art directors, publishers, translators, managers, publishers, media. Those who know how to make and break a career, let the sensitivities express themselves, all sensitivities“, he left. And he added with full conviction: “There is no exact science in this profession. There is no recipe. And often even success is a counterexample against the current. The song doesn’t need marketing efforts. We do not imprison artists, we do not shape them! Go find these strangers, support them, and the public will love them as I love them, I’m sure of it.“.
One of the other highlights of the night was Serge Lama came to receive the Glory of Honor. Celebrating her 80th birthday today, the singer implied that she would not be able to go to the Seine musical, but came as a surprise to receive her award in person. “I admire you so much. I love both people and artists. You never see yourself as Serge LamaThe honorary president of the night, Calogero, burst into tears as he presented the honorary award. “I thank all the artists who contributed to my success and my profession, which was not always courteous. I have overcome all obstacles. Now I have a victory and I am touched. This may be the end. I see the public applauding me My body can’t keep up anymore I can’t sit down and sing I’ve had a great life since I was 11 years old. i am doing the job i will thank you‘ said Serge Lama to the applause of the audience.
“This may be the last time I see an audience give me a standing ovation.”
