Ensemble contre SIDA - Noël ensemble

I'm working, but I wish everybody Joyeux Noel

Yannick Noah - Aux arbres citoyens

Happily the french get a little bit of awareness for the environment...

Carla Bruni - Le plus beau de quartier (live)

With all the french ladies I feel really sorry for his wife, she might regret she isn't french... (See also the H&M pub with Emannuelle Beart)

Charlotte Gainsbourg - 5:55

This is the Lets-make-Guuz happy night

Vanessa Paradis - L'eau à la bouche

Especially for Guuz after all the Staracs. A song from Serge by Vanessa about eh.. love. It seems to be old, but it is on pretty heavy rotation at W9 this period.. Je m'en fous :)

Nolwenn Leroy - Endormie (accoustic)

What... she's sounds too much of Celine Dion. This is one of France most beautiful voices and sparkling persons in the music bizz. And now also piano/voice only : it maked my day. Check also the other unplugged songs at the medias-section of Nolwenn.org

Marina / Dominique - J'traine des pieds / Hymne l'amour

First J'traine des pieds from some weeks ago. The second video is the famous Hymne l'amour by the two demi-finalists (although not in the same arrangement). Only one can go futher. For the frenchies: did they choose the right girl? For the non-frenchies: who is better? (don't Google to see who has won ;))
J'traine des pieds

Hymne l'amour

Thierry Amiel - Coeur Sacre

Another song with a beautiful woman.Mais alors, the main thing is the music, isn't?

Kaolin - Partons vite

At first I thought this song was one of Raphael, but it isn't

Elisa Tovati - Debile menthol

In the Dutch language the V and the F are almost pronounced the same. This gives difficulties in French, like in sentences such as : une belle fille dans une belle ville. But anyway, you don't care because you're going to view the both in the clip of Elsa Tovati of Debile Menthol

It doesnt work, so go ot the site and click on "videos"


(making of)

Marina - Avec le temps

Serviette and torchon mixed in one video. Now she's one of the last four....

Rose - La liste

At midnight there's on the french television channel W9 a programme called Tendances with a lot of good videos (so no rap, r&b and starac). Like this one

Respire

A song from 2003 but still actuel during a long time in the future...

Mon coeur, mon amour

Dit is de versie van Marina; een deelneemster van de Star Academy. Ze zit nu bij de laatste vijf en gaat het ver schoppen. Als het niet in de StarAc zelf is, wel erna. Ze komt trouwens vlak bij mij uit de buurt... De originele versie vind je hier

Raphael - Schengen

It's weird... I can work in France as foreigner, just because I have the nationality of one of the Schengen countries....
