If Juliette Armanet finds “filthy” Connemara Lakes, the composer of Michel Sardou’s classic returned the compliment! Guest on air BFM-TV to comment on the controversy raised by the comments of the 39-year-old singer concerning the 1981 song, the 83-year-old composer did not mince his words.
“There are tens of millions of people who adore filthy music”, he first launched, believing that Juliette Armanet “better to sing rather than to pronounce definitively infected words”.
A junk scandal
“I think Mademoiselle Armanet would do well to behave like an artist because I have directed dozens of them throughout my career, and I have never come across such a filthy person”, again belched Jacques Revaux, who finally accused the singer for having wanted to “make publicity”.
In reality, Juliette Armanet probably did not suspect that so much hay would be made for so little. Invited to the microphone of the RTBF show Tipik, the interpreter of Lonely Love actually declared that she found the title played too much in a “filthy”, “right-wing” evening and with “sectarian scout” accents. “Nothing is going well” she concluded. Since then, of course, nothing has gone right!
