The ‘Abyssal Void’ That Wasn’t a Marquee Performance
Ah, the NRJ Music Awards 2024. You would think with a title like “Music Awards,” there’d be some semblance of footing in the musical sphere, right? But alas, it seems we’ve stumbled into a swirling maw of mediocrity. Enter Paola Locatelli, our charming protagonist who, instead of serenading us with heartwarming melodies, decided to jump into the fray as a red carpet ‘journalist’. No, folks, she didn’t bring the news; she brought the cringe. Twitter, our beloved fountain of snark, erupted!
For those late to the party (or maybe you have taste), check out her gallant attempts here:
What Went Wrong?
TF1, in their infinite wisdom, decided to plop Paola onto the red carpet without the slightest hint of training. It’s like giving a toddler the keys to a car; what could possibly go wrong? Clearly, being an influencer didn’t come with a manual on how to interview people who are at least three times more famous and probably much less awkward. The result? A spectacle so painfully uncomfortable, it felt like watching a third-rate circus act where the clowns forgot their routines.
Social media, of course, did not hold back on their reactions. Comments like, “the worst red carpet presentation in the entire history of red carpets” and “this was an abysmal void!” popped up like annoying adverts you can’t skip. Amidst the chaos, one brave journalist questioned the wisdom of influencers being plopped into journalism—quoting, “Influencers who replace journalists are the worst possible choice, episode 28181020450”. At least we’re keeping track, eh?
TF1’s Flawed Strategy
Shouldn’t there be a line drawn somewhere? Paola might have been trying her best, though you do have to wonder what the bigwigs at TF1 were thinking. A role requiring on-the-spot charisma and finesse? Let’s just say, it was as if they handed out a manual for rocket science at a baking class. Many netizens, while dealing critical blows to the performance, did raise a point: why not offer some training? It seems a bit unfair to send someone into the lion’s den with a rubber chicken.
Many reactions might come off as a bit harsh—“this was distressing” or “I watched it and thought it was such a sketch that it was catastrophic”—but, let’s be honest, maybe a **touch** of toxicity is what the world needs to keep things spicy! After all, what’s entertainment without a good dose of mockery?
The Aftermath
What can we take away from this awkward encounter? Perhaps it’s a reminder that not every influencer is suited for every role. Sure, Paola has her fans, but being thrust into a live presentation is a lot like asking someone who makes TikToks in their bedroom to lead a TED Talk. It’s a big world out there, and not all paths pave the way to fame and glory.
In conclusion, let’s give Paola a break; she might just be looking for the right lane to speed down. But for TF1? They might want to consider a dedicated training program—or at the very least, some crash courses in “how to avoid turning your show into a one-woman comedy of errors.” Ah, the joys of live entertainment, where the cringe is as potent as the applause! Stay tuned for more awkward moments in our glorious entertainment landscape. The show must go on!

“The abyssal void”, “Affligeant”: discomfort live, Paola Locatelli’s performance at the NRJ Music Awards 2024 violently criticized on Twitter
This year’s 26th NRJ Music Awards ceremony, held on November 1, 2024, was yet again marked by a sense of boredom and disinterest among attendees, exacerbated by the notable absence of international stars and the presence of disingenuous exclusive concert sequences. Audiences reminisced about the vibrant energy of the 2000s, which seems like a distant memory now.
Paola Locatelli’s new role is controversial
Above all, the ceremony is now talked about more for controversies than anything else. Latest? The event saw a significant backlash due to influencer Paola Locatelli’s unexpected role. Rather than taking the stage to deliver a song, she stepped into the shoes of a field journalist, a move that raised eyebrows among viewers.
Indeed, TF1 positioned her on the red carpet to engage with artists and gather their impressions live. However, lacking any formal training for such a demanding role, Paola appeared uneasy and struggled to navigate the nuances of the job, often leaving the audience yearning for more engaging anecdotes.
The situation, while not catastrophic, unfurled as a spectacle that drew heavy mockery on social media platforms, illustrating the disconnect between the network’s choices and audience expectations. Many chimed in, expressing disappointment over TF1’s decision to place an untrained influencer in a role typically reserved for seasoned journalists. “Influencers who replace journalists are the worst possible choice, episode 28181020450,” exclaimed a journalist, sharing a clip of Paola’s performance.
Online critiques poured in, with one user decrying, “This is the worst red carpet presentation in the entire history of red carpets,” while another lamented, “This presentation was an abysmal void! I don’t understand why TF1 made this choice…” Comments like “It was distressing” proliferated, along with sentiments indicating that the entire situation felt like a poorly executed sketch, earning it sharp rebukes on social media.
If the criticisms of TF1’s strategy are legitimate—suggesting that the channel could have at least provided Paola with some training—it’s important to note that some attacks directed at the young woman were unjustly harsh. While she certainly had room for improvement, the vitriolic nature of the comments surrounding her performance feels excessive and unwarranted.

**Interview with Paola Locatelli: A Red Carpet Debacle at the NRJ Music Awards 2024**
*Interviewer:* Paola, thank you for joining us today. Let’s talk about your recent appearance at the NRJ Music Awards 2024. How would you describe the experience?
*Paola Locatelli:* Thank you for having me! It was honestly a whirlwind. I was excited to step into a new role on the red carpet, but I didn’t anticipate the level of scrutiny and backlash that would come with it.
*Interviewer:* Many viewers expressed discomfort during your interactions with the artists. Did you feel prepared for that kind of pressure?
*Paola Locatelli:* Looking back, I realize that diving into a live interview setting without any formal training is quite daunting. I thought my social media experience would translate well, but I quickly learned that interviewing isn’t quite the same as chatting on TikTok!
*Interviewer:* There were some pretty harsh critiques online, with phrases like “the abyssal void” being thrown around. How do you handle that kind of feedback?
*Paola Locatelli:* Honestly, it can sting. But I try to focus on constructive criticism rather than the negative buzz. Everyone has an opinion, and social media can amplify that, but I’m determined to learn from this and grow.
*Interviewer:* Do you think influencers should have more training when stepping into roles like yours at live events?
*Paola Locatelli:* Absolutely! I believe training is essential—especially for live broadcasts. It’s not fair to expect someone to excel in something completely outside their comfort zone without guidance. Moving forward, I think organizations should invest in coaching for influencers.
*Interviewer:* Reflecting on the event, what do you think TF1 could have done differently?
*Paola Locatelli:* I think having a clear plan for the red carpet interviews, including providing some prep time and resources, would have made a big difference for me. The chaos of the live environment is challenging, and I could have used some mentorship to navigate it better.
*Interviewer:* Despite the chaos, do you feel this experience has opened other doors for you?
*Paola Locatelli:* Definitely! While it was a rocky start, I think people have seen my perseverance. I’m hoping to evolve from this experience and perhaps find roles that match my skills better. I want to keep pushing forward and not be defined by one moment.
*Interviewer:* Thank you for your candor, Paola. It’s clear you’re taking this in stride, and we’re excited to see what’s next for you.
*Paola Locatelli:* Thank you so much! I appreciate the support and understanding. Let’s see where this adventure takes me!
