Are Bigflo and Oli becoming the new owners of the “NRJ Music Awards” and the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès in Cannes? This Friday evening, the two rappers received their ninth and tenth trophy (French-speaking group/duo and French-speaking clip) during the ceremony broadcast simultaneously on TF 1 and NRJ. Last year, it was three. If they are still far from the 16 NMA of Mr. Pokora, still in the spotlight this edition for the French-speaking tour of the year, the Toulouse residents did not shy away from their pleasure at the end of the recorded high mass, for the first time in the afternoon, due to the security context in France.
“It seemed far from our world for us, the two brothers from Toulouse who were watching television at the time. We’ve gone through the looking glass. We try to realize how lucky we are to make a living from music in a market that is particular and not easy. The longer it lasts, the more you enjoy it,” Oli told us a few minutes after the recording. And visibly on cloud nine after the duo also sang with Mc Solaar: “We are extremely happy to have done this performance with him. He encouraged and influenced us from the beginning. It’s a beautiful image of two generations of rap. We want to be in continuity. »
“We are in a feminine era”

This 25th edition brought out a copious list of prizes. Including Vitaa (French-speaking female artist of the year) with “girl power” accents! “We are in a feminine era,” she says at the conclusion of her little speech. Slimane (French-speaking male artist and French-speaking collaboration of the year with Claudio Capeo) is also very moved when going on stage, visibly touched by the knowing words of Nikos Aliagas: “What a journey! It’s essential today,” says the presenter about France’s future representative at Eurovision. “This is my first NRJ Awards on my own. I came on The Voice with my dreams and my hat. You are one of the first to hear me,” he replied in tears.

Meanwhile, behind the scenes, much quieter than usual due to the limitation on the number of guests, Mika’s dancers, dressed in the shape of giant colorful flowers, take a break. The host Cauet takes a few photos with his model companion Nathalie Dartois.
“It’s great for me to be here”
Joseph Kamel, nominated in the French-speaking revelation of the year category, takes a little break, in the fresh air, on the terrace of the Palais des Festivals with a breathtaking end-of-day view of the Old Port and the Suquet district. “It’s great for me to be here,” he analyzes. It is essential. For the price, however, I don’t really believe it. It will be for Nuit Incolore I think! “. Well seen ! A few minutes later, the Swiss singer-songwriter, platinum record in France in 2023, wins. Just like Louane who left, overwhelmed, with the trophy for French-speaking song of the year for “Secret”, the song she wrote for her daughter.

A little earlier in the ceremony, a highly anticipated return to music did not go unnoticed. Isabelle Adjani, big sunglasses under her eyes and a little static on stage, performs “Les Courants D’Air”, a duet with Gaëtan Roussel taken from her new album produced by Pascal Obispo. Nikos Aliagas appreciates: “It’s sparkling, it’s elegant! “. Enough to delight Indira Ampiot, Miss France 2023, who came to present the trophy to Vitaa, with comedian Max Boublil: “It was quite impressive, I was a little stressed because it was the first time I had done that. Next year, we will meet at the NMA,” laughs the one who is preparing to give up her national title.
The well-run show was marked by a few sequences to return, including Jain (social hit of the year) at the very end of the ceremony. Other performances had been recorded the day before or during the week, like every year, such as Santa twirling in front of a piano 30 m high above the red carpet of the Palais des Festivals.

An eclecticism which proves that artistic creation is still going strong.
