Welcome to our Stromea Formidable reaction!!! This is our latest video reaction from our new music reaction channel Beer’s & Bars. Here we listen, react, and breakdown bars while enjoying some of our favorite beers. Today as we dig deeper into our Euro Trip we have to say Belgium is on FIRE!!! This was interesting to see Stromea takes on the role of a drunken person who tries to hit on other females and cause uncomfortable situations in the public eye. We feel at this point there is nothing Stromea couldn't do!! We love the creativity from Stormae and we are always eager for more content!!! Keep it coming!!

Hi, my fav song is : "défiler" out in 2018. Definitly a master piece for me. Because if you didn't knew, he's also good in fashion ! With is wife they've got a online website called Mosaert and he made this song to present pieces of one of the collection called "capsule n.5"
Sorry if my english isn't perfect guys it's because i'm french ... 🤣🌼
@@BellaFil thanks for commenting we will add that to the list 🍻✌️
Also your English is faaaaaar better than our French 😂
You must listen and react to "Alors on danse"!
I love your comments about this belgian national treasure!
@@cecilemobo1935 definitely on the list 🍻🙏 happy holidays
Please react to Carmen, ta fête, and fils de joie! Some of my favorites from Stromae!!
I live in Switzerland and I remember reading online "incident: singer Stromae appeared drunk in public". A few months later this song was out. 😂
That's awesome 😂🍻
The music video and song were released just days after filming. It was crazy at the time.
Yes and some person who knows him went toi talk ans want to help him 🤣😅
😂😂😂
I remember the first work commute tram I took once I settled in Brussels dropped me at Louiza and it was a brief fan moment of recognizing the plaza out of the video
Funny story about this clip: Stromae had a big hit with ‘alors on danse’. Then he went silent for years and everybody thought he was gonna be a one hit wonder. After some years there was suddenly a video on the internet saying “one hit wonder Stromae was seen drunk in Brussels”. It was shared massively on the internet. Few days later he drops this song with the videoclip. No one in this video knew that is was a videoclip. It’s the best marketing stunt I’ve ever seen from a celebrity.
A bit of context about the song: it’s basically about a guy who gets dumped by his girlfriend cause he can’t have kids.
Funny story but not completely true imho, although 'alors on danse' was his biggest hit, he was by no means a one hit wonder.
And certainly not if you live in Belgium, France and probably a few other places.
@@filipito2 Stromae is a giant not a one hit music wonder you know
@@filipito2 Only America didnt like him a lot.
He has never been considered a one hit wonder in Belgium and France and he did not disappear after Alors on Danse but released his first album (Cheese, 2010).
Formidable more generally talks about loneliness.
@@depassage5202 oh yes he was considered a 1 hit wonder in Belgium by many. 'Cheese' was a great album but 'Te quiero' as 2nd single didn't make nearly as much waves as 'Alors on danse' did. Even to this day Stromae doesn't get the flowers he deserves in Belgium (and particularly in the flemish part) Imagine him being nominated for a MIA (like a flemish grammy) for best dance and 'Regi' winning it!!!
Stromae had the idea for this video because he was filmed by a guy while eating a normal meal like everyone in his car. The guy was making fun of him in the video, stating that Stromae became a looser and people loved it. Stromae understood that people loved watching other's misaries or failers, although there was not much in that video. So he decided to give people what they wanted in the video of formidable and it worked.
On 21 May 2013, amateur videos surfaced on UA-cam showing Stromae apparently drunk and wandering at the Louise/Louiza tram and metro station in Brussels during the daybreak, which eventually went viral. It was revealed days later that the incident was part of the taping for a music video; this was confirmed during the TV programme Ce soir (ou jamais!) on France 2 in which Stromae discussed and also performed "Formidable", which is about the story of a drunk man just separated from his girlfriend.[1][2]
The video, taken by cameras hidden around the station, appears to show a drunken, disheveled, and distraught Stromae stumbling around the station, shouting snatches of the song's lyrics at passersby, falling down, and on several occasions appearing on the verge of stepping into traffic. Onlookers are shown recording the incident with their cellphones, but only one person intervenes to prevent Stromae from sitting in the path of an oncoming tram. The music cuts off abruptly as three policemen, unaware that this is a taping, approach Stromae to assess his wellness and to inquire if he has been drinking. Stromae reassures them, and the video resumes. In the video's final scene, Stromae leaves, followed by his camera crew, and displays that his drunkenness was only an act by grinning into the camera, straightening his clothing, and clicking his heels. The video is subtitled "ceci n'est pas une leçon" ("this is not a lesson").
The video won the award for the "Music video of the year" category at the 2014 Victoires de la Musique.
Awesome thanks for the background ✌️🍻
@@BeersBars Youre welcome
The girl coming to help him, policeman and the people around him were not actors which make it so much cooler. For the next video I recommend Ta fête or Carmen.
And "quand c'est " 😅
True. It was live. All the people are clueless, no actors in the crowd.
It's Place Louise, not far from the city center. He wasn’t really drunk.
Merci Marine😂
*Formidable* in French does not have the same meaning as in English. In French it means wow, amazing, fantastic, groovy. In English it’s more like huge, impressive, intimidating. When he sings ‘Tu étais formidable, j’étais fort minable’, both terms sound almost identical, the only audible difference is the ‘d’ changed to ‘n’, and yet the meaning is utterly different. It translates ‘You were amazing, I was pathetic’. The poetry is powerful, and the play on words so clever.
Just saw him in LA last month and he was AMAZING! The best show I've honestly ever seen. He does not hold back on the theatrics on stage. All the songs are sung in French but he speaks in English in between. He is truly unlike any performer with his lyrics, message, visual art right now, which is why he's so loved all over the world. I just binged all of your Stromae reactions and it makes me so happy to see you guys love him as much as the rest of the us do! There are so many more songs that I'm sure you have queued up on your list. I can't wait to see them all! :)
Happy to have you along for the ride ✌🍻
I saw him in vancouver. He really is an incredible performer. He didn't change outfits but the stage was utilized to make every performance pop. And his voice is amazing live. He sounds exactly like the recorded version. I was deadass confused at first and thought he was lip syncing but he wasnt. And yes, he does speak English. He spoke both English and French to the crowd
I was at his show in DC this past November And man it was such Art! Amazing show loved it also been a fan since 2010
"This is what sound is supposed to be"
Best description of Stromae's music I've come across so far ;)
If you go see a Stromae show, don’t be too close from the stage because the effects and the choreos are CRAZY! It truly is an experience and you can’t catch everything if you are in close to the stage. He was in Montreal back in September and, because stromae said once in an interview that montreal’s crowd is his favourite, i HAD to go. Boy oh boy i will never see a show like that ever again🔥
I watched and loved every version of him singing and performing this song. I cried every time I watched him singing this but the first time that I did not know this is for real. I don’t understand how people can hold themselves not to cry.
This is easily in my top three music videos of his. I read a few articles about this one, and people had no idea there was a video being filmed. They legit thought he was plastered, and were amazed when the video came out. An absolute genius move, marketing-wise as well.
I'm from the US and took a little French in school but when I heard stormae I learned every word in French on his songs. It is infectious!
You are really going down the rabbit hole!!! Love to see people that don;t even speak french recognize the amazing and raw artist Stormae is. Dance, lyrics, beats, interviews, wit... Really complete guy.
ps: it was all "real reactions". No staged footage.
In his tour back in 2015, he recreated all the theatrics of his music videos. Famously he gets carried onto the stage in mannequin form for Papaoutai and holds the pose till the base drops.
His tour right now is a bit more relaxed and I think he is enjoying it more. The 2015 tour was very stressful for him and my guess is that's why this tour is more relaxed.
Check out the video he produced of his concert in Montreal in 2015. You can how committed of a preformer he is.
I would LOSE IT if I ever got to go to a Stromae concert
His live concert at the Montreal Bell Centre is available on youtube and it's just freaking amazing. The lights, the musicians, the music...everything is an absolute masterpiece! ❤️
Stromae is a legend. He is a true artist. He is from Brussels btw (and loves his home town). Do check out his Tiny desk concert. And while you're at it, check out the other Belgian artist who did a Tiny desk concert, our young talent Tamino. Wonderful voice and he beautifully merges western music and Arabic influences in his songs. He too is a genius in my humble opinion. The first disciple on his second album is a gem of a song.
1:18 stromae is actually fluent in english. He’s a true genius!
Imagine being one of the people on the street that day thinking Stromae's having a really rough time, then seeing this video. The man's a genius.
He’s a true performer. Every music video he does perform, he plays a character. It’s so magical and super fucking creative. Love it
Watch Santé it's just makes you feel great!
This was à total hidden camera. He was upset after his 1st song. He was famous. One night he was eating à "taboulet " in his car ( small and simple car) à Guy disturb him and recorded him. It was nothing but a lot of reaction on internet. So he has the idea to play the drunk Guy, and say nothing after. So tv, and people were talking about his "end" cause he was sad and drunk, like the success killed him. A few Day,after he goes to à french tv show and played the song as " drunk" . People discoverd that they were prank and that it was for the clip vidéo.
Everybody was thinking like " shiiit this Guy is genius"
The fact that his drunk and can sing so good is incredible. (I know his acting but still 😂) man's got skill. Nice reaction guys
C'est un clip vidéo qui avait été tourné comme une caméra cachée, vraiment un génie Stromae !
The last part of his name, ´ae´sounds more like the ´ai´in the word ´samurai´, just so you know. To make it easy - ´Stromai`
I saw him last week and it was just awesome. Waited 11 years to see him and it was worth. Definitely should check his new album songs, they are masterpieces ❤️
Happy you had the opportunity, we would like to see him live one day✌️🍻
L'enfer is my favourite song by Stromae, I absolutely adore the guy
We reacted to that one already if you haven't seen, ✌️🍻
@@BeersBars oooh I must watch it
I can't watch that without crying
Go to Belgium drinking their wonderful beer, and see their artists!
I Casey used to live in Brussels and the beer was indeed amazing ✌️🍻
@@BeersBars I am french and A part of my family is belgian. I used to live 150 km from Brussels... and even in New Caledonia, my new home 16000 km from Europe I still drink those magnificent trappist triple fermentation ales....
The whole thing is filmed with hidden cameras, at this point he was already pretty well know, thats why many are filming with there phones. So the girl probably recognised him
It's a real scene
I recommended u 2 song of him. And i was thinking , shit I forgot Formidable. And here we are! Salute from Belgium guys 👍
Next time please watch "quand c'est " u will be surprised
And for the history, the song that make him famous was " alors on danse " à simple song from his youtube channel , go to thé radio for 1 time per Day, then People were curious. And now he is where he is
If you haven't already seen it, you should watch "Alors on danse avec Jamel" (who is a French comedian) when creating the song - very funny !!!
I you want more Stromae you should react to Carmen and Ta fête!😊
As far as I know, this video was completely unscripted. So the police intervention and the helping girl were all genuine acts, not set in scene.
Go to his yt channel where you can find how he teach how to compose a song called "leçons n°..." 13y ago
Great reactions on all the Stromae videos! If you want a musical/visual shocking masterpiece: "Quand c'est" is what you are looking for.
That's a great one
1. You just missed Stromae’s concert at The Anthem, his first tour in eight years. He talks to the crowd in between sets in English. A lot of Europeans, Francophones and Francophiles in DC so it was probably a 50-50 or 60-40 split between English and French speakers but that doesn’t seem too different from his concerts elsewhere in the US.
2. Europe has a more relaxed attitude to celebrities. It’s more common for actors and musicians to live relatively normal lives without security details.
3. I would check out Stromae’s recent performance on Jimmy Kimmel.
4. There is a lot of word play in Stromae (btw he pronounces it Stro-may as in May 1st): formidable (great) vs fort minable (very lousy). The song he performs on Kimmel has a lot of puns on the names : Arlette/arrête (stop), Céline Bataire/célibataire (celibate/single). His song Quand c’est (“When is it” or “When will it be?”) is another example playing on the title (pronounced ca se) vs cancer (ca cer).
Oh yeah Nice you react to it 😁😁
I'd suggest you to listen to his tiny desk concert he recently did ! I know it ends up a bit longer than regular videos but I'd love to watch that with you !
You have to check the song Cancer! It’s so perfect! I’m sure that you’re gonna love it!!! 😉
For the concert you should check he did like a resume of it in a video and you already have the vibe of it! It was so nice the be at the concert! Everyone was in harmony!❤
La solassitude and Sante have to be my two favourites on the new album, I would highly highly recommend them! I really enjoyed it when you guys read the lyrics first to appreciate the music/song when reacting and I would say for me muscially and lyrically la solassitude is my favourite and Sante is a lovely ode to workers we don't appreciate enough with a banging beat
Thank you for giving us feedback it is always helpful and we appreciate the recommendations and we will add them to the list 🍻
It was all over the internet « stromae was seen drunk in the street » people started talking about him being suicidal and stuff
the same day it was on the news everyone thought that stomae had gone crazy and was drunk in the center of brussels and that something bad had happened to him the day after he had released this song
🔥
It was real, people literally thought he was in a drunk stooper.
Guys u really need to see ta fete and ave cesaria videos ! And Carmen anime video so cool
He did it for real and later revealed that he'd been filming.
I was at his show in Montreal. Fire!!
his name is written "Stromae", and pronounced "Stro-Mai" just to let yall know. The song was popular for a long time here in Belgium, its not bad in my opinion. Normally a reaction to this song wouldnt entertain me, but you guys do. Keep grinding and yall will grow like crazy soon, you guys are super entertaining. Love
Thank you we very much appreciate that 🙏🍻
Stromae is also “Maestro” backwards. Which he is.
@@harrykane471 haha 😂 love it 🍻
@@BeersBars Do “Carmen” when possible. It takes inspiration from classical music. As you probably noticed, there’s distinctly different sounds on different songs. That’s what makes him special, the maestro 😉.
@@BeersBars As if French language was not difficult enough already, French people love to play with it 😂
In this case it’s about putting the last syllabus of a word at the beginning of it. Mae-stro becomes Stro-mae, fe-mme (woman) becomes me-fe, and so on. English words like mo-ney would become ney-mo, police liss-po… It works with first and last names as well. Bo-ris Risbo, Do-nald Naldo, etc.
The French call it “verlan”, which is “l’en-vers” (literally reverse, the other side) turned into “vers-l’en” then “ver-lan” for a simpler spelling.
Although verlan was invented a century ago or so, it was not widespread until the 1980’s when French kids adopted it as a way to speak between them without adults understanding what they were saying. From there it became more and more popular, and it is now a full part of French street language, not just for kids. Every day every French person uses at least one verlan word.
Yo we live in the same area, kind of. I’m in MD. But Stromae is so great. I’d been listening to various UK artists but he was kind of the start of me paying attn to artists outside the US & UK. Also we can just acknowledge how freaking pretty Stromae is. Evrybody talks about his musical genius, but no one mentions how he’s also genetically gifted. Talent is always attractive & I think some famous “ugly” actors/musicians are super attractive bc they’re so fcking talented. But Stromae has it all.
Do you know that Billie Eilish is a great fan of Stromae? When she was asked about him, her answer was simply - "He is a genius".
If you want to see what he’s like live, watch “Stromae Racine Carée Live” on UA-cam. It’s a full concert shot in Montreal. It’s a few years old but amazing.
Carmen... I've never recovered. It was perfect.
When Stromae recorded this song, people in street doesn't know it was real, people thought he was drunken, he said in interview
Yeah, indeed. It was a hidden camera thing. Apart from the great music - I keep on going to this on a regular basis - Actor Stromae should get an Oscar ... Done "n" dusted!
You should watch "La pluie" (which translates by "the rain") by OrelSan featuring Stromae. That song came out in 2018 (from OrelSan album "La fête est finie" released in 2017) during Stromae's break from music. Everyone was hoping that you would finally come back with a new songs, with a new album. But he still needed to take some time off for his mental health. He announced that he was stopping making music in the end of 2016 and came back in 2022 with his new album "Multitude". Stromae explained that listening to his friends' music (like OrelSan) he started to feel a bit jealous that he wasn't the one that had the idea to make some of the song that had released. He felt the need to go back to music and create new stuff. (To sum up 😉)
Alors an Danse is definitely worth checking out by Stromae
You should react to his tiny desk concert. Love from spain!
Agreed!!!
His smile is genuine and infectious
I hope you found some tickets to watch him live because it really is amazing! You guys should watch his live performance of L’enfer at Coachella on his channel to get an idea (or even his full live performance from his past tour which is also on his channel)!
I love how the police came, and offered him a ride home, such nice cops, hopefully it sheds a bit more light on the good cops, unlike how the media only reports the misdeeds of a few.
Love you guys plz more french songs reaction 😊😊😊 #🇨🇵
Hey! I love how you guys love him! I live in Montreal, Canada and saw his show a few weeks ago and the show 7 years ago. Check out the youtube video of his full concert RACINE CARRÉE. I promise you will not be dissapointed. It’s his official video and all translated. It’s amazing and I was there!!! If you ever have any questions about him or the french let me know!! :)
Appreciate you sharing we hope to see him live one day ✌️🍻
His last show in Montreal was so good. The crowd was so thrilled to see him and you could tell how touched he was by the reaction.
@@rachelshugart8586 I think we gave him a 10 minute standing ovation at mine. He was moved. He’s a good man and an ARTISTE!
All the video was recorded with hidden camera so people don’t know that that was the official footage of formidable.
Love it ✌️🍻
This vídeo is a social experiment
You guys should react to Avé cesaria by Stromae
Ta fête!
Stromae is one of the best Artist in the world!🫶💖
Maybe you would listen to his song „Quand C‘est?“?
It‘s about cancer and it‘s a very touching song, which really made me cry, because I lost so many people because of cancer…my parents too…😔💔
(Sorry for my bad English)
Can you react to quand c’est it’s one of my favorite song from stromae
Hey Guys I'm British from London and absolutely love Stromae, it's made me study French!
But you absolutely must watch his Tiny Desk concert he sounds the same live as on the original tracks
He is touring here in May ❤️
It's on the list 🍻✌️
You should watch his ‘Tiny desk’ thank me later
Want to check out the rest of the songs with music videos in there first, before we dive into that one!! 🙏

Nothing was staged on tis video it was to look how people react what the wil do
Fière d’être française!😊
✌️🍻
@Babouche except for the language there is absolutely nothing French about Stromae. Go ahead and feel proud, mais Stromae est belge!!! Et nous sommes très fière de ça!! Il dit lui-même: Je suis Belge comme les frites. :)🇧🇪🇧🇪
@@djee475 La Belgique est française
That last shot where he smiled was on a total different place in Brussels (I worked their so I know exactly where it was) , so its acted on different places, its not 1 real live acting performance. Still great. I think going like that with that behavior in the streets was the way to do it and not being recognized by people, or they think : Do I know him? Can't be him.. no no ... wasn't that famous at the time for sure, but even when Tom Cruise going in streets of new york like drunk guy, nobody will ever guess its tom cruise, people want to avoid connection with drunk people and assholes in the streets, they take distance so its harder to concider to want to know if they know him or look at him. Its more like : 'Again a drunk guy here screaming shit....
Hello please can you react to STROMAE = Quand c'est
only he was staged. The idea for the song was after he met an old drunk guy who just wanted a bit of attention from just somebody after his faillure in life.
Check out #5thAugust6 by Lyrical Joe and thank me later 😊🙏
On the books for recording!!
If you are too american to understand a song even having english subtitles… and it just makes you stupidly laugh…. 😢
