1863On Tuesday February 11 on Europe 1, Pascal Obispo had to explain his comments towards the young generation of artists from the Star Academy including Pierre Garnier and Marine. The opportunity for him to clarify his thoughts. For his part, Pierre Garnier was invited to Léa Salamé's on France Inter. He put things into perspective with humor by accepting his elder's remark.
On RFM on February 4, 2025, Pascal Obispo, guest that day, gave his strong opinion on the new generation of artists, notably Pierre Garnier and Marine, winners of the last 2 seasons of “Star Academy”
I listen to what they do, I find that unfortunately, we put them on a little too high a pedestal. We glorify them a little too much while they are still tadpoles. Musically, when we all made our first albums, we weren't ready, and fortunately! The one who is ready for the first album, he is very very strong. We make a big deal out of it, but we have to let them grow a little and maybe one day, they will manage to make songs that are a little more interesting and less generational, that speak to everyone....I feel like there are a lot of artists on the platforms, and few that are highlighted. As soon as there is a winner, he is immediately a genius, whereas well, after one album you are not a genius. You are a genius, almost after 80 albums like me! I have 80 and I am still not a genius.
This Tuesday, February 11, Pascal Obispo, invited this time on Europe 1, somewhat qualified his words following the controversy generated by his statements.
I said it was going too fast, it's not negative at all! All those we show, I find that we see them a lot and we show them too much. It can be complicated for them because it's a lot of pressure...I would like to kiss Pierre Garnier, whom I love deeply. We are produced by the same producer and frankly you should not read what is said in the press, or rather, on social networks. I really like Pierre Garnier!
