On Tuesday, singer Renaud, 71, delivered a painful performance to Sceneo, although clearly improving since the start of his tour, reports The voice of the North.
The feedback from previous concerts was not good and unfortunately they are confirmed: the idol is tired. The damaged voice makes the first songs difficult to listen to, fortunately the emotion of the superb lyrics remains. If the vocal performance is not there, the musicians and the new arrangements are, however, particularly successful. A bit like in 2016, when he gave a concert on the same Audomaroise stage.
The accordion’s musette tunes bring the cheerfulness that is lacking in the singer’s raspy voice. The violins convey an emotion that the jerky diction struggles to convey. The songs remain difficult to follow for those who don’t know the words; and we can see some using their phone to get the texts.
More than 2,000 spectators
Because Renaud needs the 2,100 people present to sing his songs and he has resigned himself to it. A clever way to assume it is with the title Manhattan-Kaboul because, for this duet, it is the entire audience bathed in red light who is invited to sing in place of Axelle Red.
There is also a certain irony in the revival of When I was a singer by Michel Delpech, a bit as if Renaud were combining his own career with the past. But above all, photos and videos are allowed once more. Their ban caused a lot of noise and the artist was suspected of wanting to limit the traces of his poor performances.
Like the supporters of a football team who support it whatever its results, Renaud’s fans are there. But instead of a jersey, it’s the iconic red bandana that sets them apart. They are not unaware of their idol’s voice problems, but come for the atmosphere and recognize the progress since Renaud stopped smoking. For Cécile, who attended the February concert in Lille, “ in six months, we found good progress “. But no one is more loyal than Artur. Recognizable by his numerous tattoos, around thirty of which are dedicated to Renaud, this Brussels resident is in his fourteenth concert… this year! If the public’s lack of enthusiasm saddens him, he is nevertheless confident for the future: “ His voice is getting better and better and that does us good, it reassures us for the rest of the tour. »
