The singer Prade from Tarn-et-Garonne participated in the famous TF1 show this Saturday. A last-minute turnaround allowed him to qualify for the next stage of the journey.
“It’s getting better.” After two minutes of effort, Prade breathed a big sigh of relief. He had to wait until the last second, the last note, to convince the jury. This Saturday, the singer from Tarn-et-Garonne took part in the blind auditions game of the show The Voice, broadcasted on TF1.
Although his almost slanted cover of the song “La Pluie” by rapper SCH did not impress Florent Pagny, Amel Bent, or Lara Fabian enough to turn around, it finally won over another rapper, Tayc. “Thank you, you have made me grow,” praised the interpreter. “Since the beginning of the season, I have forced myself to stay tough, sticking to my musical convictions, and being very demanding note after note. Often, I hesitate to turn around because the melody I want isn’t there or there is a wrong note, but with you, I can see it.”
Montauban native can also look forward. Thanks to this late but saving buzz, Julian Pradel, his real name, joins Tayc’s team for the rest of the journey. “It’s daring to cover SCH like that. To turn a rap song into something powerful, it takes a lot of talent,” emphasized the jury member.
There is still a long way to go. Around fifty candidates are still in the running. As a reminder, Prade had been noticed at the Montauban en Scènes festival in 2024. His performance on the “discovery stage” had propelled him to the top of the bill. A journey on one of France’s most iconic talent shows could now offer him a significant spotlight.
