    Hi all welcome back to another video Dereck Reacts back at it again! This time around we take a look at another Daniel Balavoine reaction in Starmania together with Nanette Workman "Quand on Arrive en Ville." What stuns me in this song is not only the amazingness for Daniel but how Nanette comes out of nowhere and takes this song to another level. She's incredible! See my react now!

    As for the meaning of the song, it is one of the first songs of the Rock Opera, where the "Black Stars", a street gang, terrorizes the fictional city of Monopolis. In this song, the leaders of this gang, Johnny Rockfort (played by Daniel Balavoine) and Sadia (played by Nanette Workman), explain why they are who they are and do what they do. This is a reference to the problem of poor suburbs in cities, where young people who are lost end up living in the streets and doing crime. Those are the "zonards" from this song.

    • @itaiperez
      @itaiperez 2 роки тому +9

      To better understand the meaning of this song, you can check the song "Banlieue Nord", also from Starmania and Daniel Balavoine, in which John Rockfort further explains how he ended with the "Black Stars".

    Ah, Starmania is old but it's a masterpiece. Most of the songs are known to be difficult to sing, as for "SOS d'un terrien en détresse". Each song had become a french classic and is still played on the radio. Most of the people recognize Michel Berger and Luc Plamandon as genius. When he first met Daniel Balavoine, Michel Berger was looking for someone to play Johnny Rockfort. He saw Daniel at TV and was amazed by this incredible powerful voice. Daniel probably was the badass singer Michel always dreamt to be. Thanks to his voice ability, he could write very difficult and powerful songs for his opera. Moreover, every song you pick will stay in your mind forever :
    Le blues du businessman, Travesti, Les adieux d'un sex symbol, Monopolis, La chanson de Ziggy, Le monde est stone, Le rêve de Stella Spotlight,...

    Nanette Workman is an American who came to live in the Province of Québec in the late 60's. She was a chorus girl for a while, she even sang with the Rolling Stones in the late 60's, early 70's. You like her voice? Try in the opera rock Starmania listening to Ce soir, on danse (Naziland). Nanette is something else, really! In French or in English, she's one of a kind! Love that girl. :-)

    Dereck, the song "Ziggy" by Céline Dion (you reacted to it) is also a Starmania song :)
    This musical written in 1976 talks about a society in the future where most people's goal is to become famous. Daniel plays Johnny Rockfort, a gang leader who becomes a terrorist, because violence is the only way for the "left behind" to be heard... He meets Cristal (France Gall), who is hosting a famous talk show on TV and wants to interview him.
    Ziggy is a young gay (the one Céline Dion loves in her song) who wants to tell his coming-out story in Cristal's show. And Zero Janvier is a very rich businessman, living in a tower, and who wants to become... president.

  • @martine2u

    The Eagle has landed! Yes :-D So many excellent songs in Starmania (of course, I'm biased since I've been a huge fan of the show since I was 12). You have commented on one of them: SOS d'un terrien en detresse is from this opera rock. Nanette workman has two great songs in this show: Travesti (you will love this) and Ce soir, On dance. Other Balavoine song of note from this show: Banlieue Nord.
    This song is at the beginning of the show. It's our introduction to the Black Stars (a gang from the "zone", meaning poorer suburbs, possibly projects). Johnny Rockfort (Balavoine) is the leader. They're the symbol of a wasted youth, roaming aimlessly and without purpose in a world that has no place for them. They are rebels and terrorize people. They set the scene for a society in full fracture between the interests of the ultra-wealthy (represented by Zero Janvier; check out the "Blues du Businessman", a song that's been covered by many, many people, including Celine Dion) and the darkness everyday people live in, with the poorest litterally living underground. The show is set in the future (it said 2000 at the time) and society has been so polluted that people have started living underground or very far up in extremely tall buildings (Zero Janvier has just finished building the "Tour doree" (or Golden Tower), which plays a critical role toward the end of the show).
    When the show starts, there's going to be elections. Zero Janvier, an extremely successful businessman, runs on little more of a platform than to get rid "terrorists" (i.e., the Black Stars). Several characters move between these two worlds of glitz and darkness:
    - La serveuse automate (the automated waitress) who is a witness to what is happening with the Black Stars (they gather at the "Underground Cafe" where she works). Check out "Les Uns contre les Autres" and "Le Monde est Stone" (Cindy Lauper sang the English version of this song).
    - Sadia (Nanette Workman) is a sort of anarchist who grew up in the rich world, but decides to stir trouble by going to the Black Stars and using them for her purpose;
    - Crystal (France Gall) is a bright, shiny TV host; she meets Johnny Rockfort and falls in love with him, then joins him (to everyone's great shock). Check out "Besoin d'Amour".
    - Stella Spotlight is a porn star who is retiring; she's been in the glitzy world, but it's about to slip away from her; like the automated waitress, she's a witness, but to what is happening with Zero Janvier.
    There are a few secondary characters with great songs as well. As much as I love the 1978 songs, there was never any video made (tragic! only short videoclips are available as far as I know) and, while the songs and singers were fantastic, the production values would look quite rough nowadays. It was the first time that a musical show like this was ever produced with any success in France (we don't have the Broadway tradition). In terms of the show itself, I prefer the 1990 version (you can see the whole show on UA-cam). Several great singers started their career on Starmania: Balavoine of course, but also Bruno Pelletier (Johnny Rockfort) and Maurane (Serveuse automate).
    Starmania was, in many ways prophetic (and still is) and a cautionary tale we should all yield. Unfortunately, what it foretold has happened in many ways (the parallels with what has happened in the US since 2016 are truly eerie). Let's hope we'll heed the lessons before it's too late.
    Happy listenings!

    Ahhhh! That’s the stuff! Doesn’t get old. Nanette Workman did back vocals on some Rolling Stones albums. She had most of her career in French, in Quebec. Still singing to this day! Great blues lady. You should react to Starmania as a complete rock opera. She’s also doing Travesti on it. (And woah, the vocal piece there. You’re already gone bananas but don’t know it yet..). It’s a legendary piece, probably at least five official versions on stage now.

    you could even react to the rock opera enterely (but it's a 2h show)
    you'll find France Gall in duet with balavoine and Fabienne thibault (some artists you have listened and liked before)

    Thank you for that reaction, Dereck. That song is his first huge success that made him a star in France. The song is about bad guys doing very bad things at night in the city just because they want to feel alive before they become too old. The lyrics are pretty depressing but the song is really energetic. And, of course, Daniel Balavoine is brilliant, as usual. So, that's why we really love that song in France.

    Actually, you already did 2 reactions to Starmania. It'ds just you didn't knew it. You reacted to dimash "SOS d'un terrien en détresse" which originally was sung (and composed specifically for) Daniel Balavoine.
    And though it probably already have been brought to your attention, in your reaction to "Ethiopie" (Chanteurs sans frontières), you asked about a woman which voice captivated you. That was Fabienne Thibeault, which was the original interpret of "Ziggy" (original title "Un garçon pas comme les autres") which you did a reaction to Celine Dion's version.
    Finally Nanette Workman is an american singer who is mainly known in Quebec. Worldwide, she is mostly known for her role in Starmania, but was also a choir singer for Johnny Hallyday, The Rolling Stones, John Lennon and Ringo Starr

    Finally ! 🥳🥳🥳
    Starmania is an absolute masterpiece... every single song ! You're on for a wonderfull ride my friend 😁
    It's been said already but if you wanna hear more of Nanette, the obvious first choice would be "Travesti" such revolutionary lyrics for the late 70s, you're gonna love it !
    To sum things up a little :
    Starmania is sort of a dystopia, it takes place in Monopolis (big city, capital of the Occident) it is election time and the main candidate is Zero Janvier, billionaire businessman with extremist views on how society should be run. The Black Stars are somewhat of a resistance group, labeled terrorists by the media and state, led by Johnny Rockfort and Sadia...
    This song is the one they sing to depict what happens when they are out in the streets of Monopolis.
    There is so much more to say about the story but man, I'm so excited that you are getting into this !
    Starmania changed my life !!! ❤
    There are 4 official versions of the show :
    - 1978/79 : the original (or "the blue edition"), with Daniel Balavoine, France Gall... a lot to listen, not much to watch.
    - 1988/89 : "the red edition",
    different singers, Maurane, Renaud Hantson, the Groulx brothers... all of them amazing voices. Best stage version ever, the most faithfull to Michel Berger and Luc Plamondon's original vision of the story, since this time they were the ones directing the show.
    (here with english subs : ua-cam.com/video/VKF_SqeKTYo/v-deo.html )
    - 1994 : Some great singers too, Bruno Pelletier, Isabelle Boulay... but honestly an absolute shitshow in terms of stage direction, orchestration and costumes... not worth a glance.
    - 2020 : well, we're still waiting on that one 😅 ... should be 2022.
    I'm gonna stop now 🤣... until your next Starmania reaction ! 😜

    Many wonderful songs in Starmania, you already listened to "SOS d'un terrien en détresse" or a cover of "un garçon pas comme les autres" by Celine Dion but there are tons of great ones ! For Nanette Workman, she plays the part of Sadia who's one of the leader of the Black Stars along with Johnny Rockfort (Balavoine), she has some good songs on her own too like "ce soir on danse au naziland" or "travesti" .
    Other great songs from Starmania : le blues du businessman, la chanson de Ziggy, la complainte de la serveuse automate, les uns contre les autres, le monde est stone, le rêve de Stella Spotlight, les adieux d'un sex-symbole...
    The originals are wonderful, the 1980's version is great too, there are many other covers of the songs, and the English version Tycoon is also good though the lyrics are very different and there's only the main songs covered

    Black Stars is the name of the gang. In the story of Starmania, They will be turn into a revolutionary group by Johny Rockfort (=Balavoine, "Rockfort" is also a joke, with Roquefort a french Cheese, and fort, who can be translate as "strong" or with "Rock" before fort could mean "loud", So "Johnny does loud Rock". It may also be relate to HardRock.
    In the story, the occident is only one country, a big city "Metropolis". Zero Janvier, a multi-billionaire, businessman and media leader is campaigning to be president (Trump, but 35 years before), he doesn't give a damn about ecology, pollution, and is very very right wing. Other stories are mixed in, homosexuality, the loneliness of forgotten people, love also between Johnny and Crystla, the presentress-reporter of the show "StarMania" who will join him in his revolution (inspired by a real fact, where an hostage takes up arms in the war of those who kidnapped her).
    There was a big stars in this show.
    I recommend you so many songs from this rock-opera!

      Nope, I did drink a bit at party in my 20's, but almost don't drink anymore unless exceptional situation (less than once a year...), with the only wine I accept: Bordeaux :).
      And pears ?? Well do as you wish but I don't like to mess up tastes, sugar is not a taste I like very much, and it'd destroy the raw taste of the Roquefort which I'm thriving for. It's like all those "cocktails" alcohol, I have the highest contempt of this. If you need sweet, that's because you don't really like it. Like with cocktails not to feel the REAL taste of alcoholic beverages..

    Nanette Workman is an American singer who made most of her career in France and Canada
    She worked with a lot a brilliant artists, and she had a very successful career as a back up singer, unfortunately her solo career never really took off, despite several very good albums
    To me, she has one of the most incredible female voice I ever heard, and the first time I heard her voice, my reaction was exactly the same as yours, I froze and went “WHO is she??”

    Nanette is a legend in Quebec. She was born in Brooklyn, Raised in Mississippi and she is in the Mississippi music hall of fame and even has a building named after her at the State University. She has dual Canadian/US citizenship.
    She IS Lady Marmalade. She co-wrote it and sung it first. ua-cam.com/video/4ecmKp8QSIY/v-deo.html
    She was our 70s sex-symbol/ rock-star in Quebec.
    She also kind of started out being a backup vocal for The Rolling Stones on tour and for albums. NOT A BAD START ...
    PS: It's a family thing. Her dada played in the Tommy Dorset orchestra.
    But what we LOVE about her is her BLUES.. ua-cam.com/video/jU1ns5NVzvw/v-deo.html

    Blackstars are a fictionnal gang in the musical Starmania. in France in the late 70's there were many gangs that roamed the streets there were mainly two groups of individuals mostly recognisable because they were BIKERS. there were the Black Leathers and... THE BUTCHER BOYS! This is one of the face of Franc that you wouldn't imagine and it's depicted here in this song.
    You wouldn't believe it but the shit would quickly become REAL whenever Black Leathers decided to raid a city or a mall. Chains, crowbars and razorblades were out. And when they met with the butcher boys... blood and death my friend... blood and death;

    It's a bit like "bad" from MJ. The bad side of some artists. Or even Thiller when they impersonate themselves in someone else once night time.
    Each starmania song has lots of technicality in instrumentation and vocals. Very high. But I think none have super hit bananas catchyness. (Like audio gear have a tonal ranking and a technical ranking, or in figure skating). For me it's a bunch of artist, who are asked to work together with minimum time. Lots of technicalities but lacking the creative inspiration that truly lift songs.
    My favs are probably Monopolis, complainte de la serveuse automate, Besoin d'amour by the unique fact of being France Gall (but not the bananest ^^) ,Banlieue Nord. I mean they are also "reviewable", but aren't on my go to playlist.

There was so many hits from starmania, that I'm sure you will react to other songs from this opera, like for example "Besoin d'amour" from France Gall. She was one of the female star singer on the Opera, she was interpreting the character Cristal who fall in love with the character interpreted by Daniel Balavoine. After the huge success of Starmania, the opera was translated in English and performed in USA, but I guess the name of the Opera was changed to Tycoon.

    You already made a reaction for Starmania with SOS !!! You heard the Dimash version, and the original version by Daniel Balavoine. Starmania is the most beautiful Musical success in France, with Les Miserables, Romeo et Juliette, Notre Dame de Paris et les 10 commandemants. Michel Berger composed 2 musicals : Starmania (1978) and La Legende de Jimmy (1990). Nanette Worman is the only singer to be in these two original masterpieces. She's canadian, as some other cast. The original studio album, with the blue cover you show on miniature, is one of the best sell album in France. All tracks became classical standard. You have to ludten it entirely to be so enjoy :-) I hope you read all comments because you can understand many things.
