Juliette Armanet arrived on the stage of the Montreux Jazz Lab with a bouquet of flowers in her hand, before throwing them into the audience. After a crazy concert, blue News can only send him flowers in turn.
Juliette Armanet is a real beast of the stage: she proved it by literally setting the Montreux Jazz Lab on fire on July 9th.

“This woman is a real beast of the stage”: this is the sentence caught in flight at the end of Juliette Armanet’s concert this evening of July 9 on the shores of Lake Geneva. While we are still a little dizzy from the masterful show we have just witnessed, we cannot find a better term.
A beast of the stage, absolutely. A twig assumed responsible for a musical fire at the Montreux Jazz Lab. She made “the flame shine in our arsonist hearts”, one would be tempted to add.
It’s all there: the emotion, the sweetness, the melancholy, but also the dance, the party, the freshness, the humor, the accuracy of your tone, the naturalness. A sober but effective scenography, which evolves with the concert. At the climax, when it’s time to attack the maxi hit “The Last Day of Disco”, nothing is more sober, everything becomes glitter and the crowd in the body rocks the dancefloor.
“Fire at the Lake”
It’s very simple, if we were expecting a somewhat static show, the surprise is significant: there is always something going on. And whether she is alone at the piano or supported by her six excellent musicians, Juliette Armanet gives herself without economy, her generosity can only reach our hearts.
Her music, chiseled and precise, takes us exactly where this 39-year-old mother wants to take us. His voice sometimes has shades of Sanson, his attitude on stage reminds us a little of Johnny. Poetic, the texts of the author-composer and performer are often compared to those of Souchon. The melodies resonate with a multitude of influences that give them a vintage dimension.
But no matter, if legends have preceded her, Juliette Armanet is doing very well to write her own legend. By setting Montreux “on fire at the lake” – she said so – she left behind her a warm and above all conquered audience. Respect madam!
