“It’s really a song that disgusts me.” The opinion is to say the least settled: the singer and composer Juliette Armanet criticized, with the Belgian online media Tipik, the famous title of Michel Sardou “The lakes of Connemara”, attracting the wrath of the fans of the artist . This hit from the 1980s, “it’s really a song that disgusts me deeply,” said Juliette Armanet in an interview excerpt that has been running since Saturday on social networks.

Asked about the song that could make him leave an evening, Juliette Armanet did not take long to answer. “Three times The Lakes of Connemara, I think”. Before developing his opinion on this famous intergenerational title: “It’s really a song that disgusts me deeply. The scout, sectarian side, the music is filthy… It’s on the right, nothing is going well, “striked the interpreter of” L’Amour en solitaire “.

“Juliette Armanet didn’t understand this song”

The criticism did not go unnoticed. Dozens of Internet users have defended “Les lacs du Connemara” as “a monument of French song” when others have simply declared not knowing Juliette Armanetwhose last album “Brûler le feu” sold more than 100,000 copies.

“The career of Juliette Armanet is 5 years old, that of Sardou is 50”, points out a surfer. “What is scout, sectarian, rightist in this song? I think that Juliette Armanet unfortunately has no culture and has understood nothing of this song…”, considers another.

Beyond the stupid side of such a declaration, I wish Juliette Armanet to compose such a unifying song, which makes young and old dance, people of right and left, rich and poor. A popular song. https://t.co/S51T3QGcxG

“I wish Juliette Armanet to compose such a unifying song, which makes young and old dance, people on the right and on the left, rich and poor”, notes yet another.
