“Thank you for being concerned about The Artist. Thanks for sending The Voice All Stars opposite, because it has never been done in the world and they [TF1] send the heaviest they can have apart from the Restos du cœur [le concert des Enfoirés] or a World Cup football match. Thank you for doing this because we are in the right, that they are worried and I take a thorn out of my side: given the competition, what do you want us to do in terms of audiences ? », Declared Nagui at the end of August during the press conference of The Artist.
The host and producer was convinced that the first channel had purposely scheduled the launch of the anniversary edition of The Voice this Saturday, right in front of the premiere of its telecrochet on France 2 dedicated to authors, composers and performers. He obviously expected that his show does not have an excellent score, and the figures unveiled this Sunday morning by Médiamétrie prove him right.
