First Time Reaction Pascal Obispo FAN (OMG, YOU'RE KIDDING?) | Dereck Reacts

[@fabienneclavier5984]

Pascal Obispo is a singer who could sing the phone book, his vocals are always flawless. You really need to react to more of his music. He also wrote for many other artists.

[@samueldevulder]

Derek, you should read the lyrics. This is a song to be listened to, focused on the lyrics. It depicts all the stars he was fan of when he was young. The artist he admire the most being Polnaref, and by now he’s a great singer/composer as Polnaref was/is. One can also note that he can sing in high tones as well as him (listen carefully the end of the song).

[@LetsChillPage]

*Dereck,* The piano intro is a slightly modified version of *"Lettre à France"* by *Michel Polnareff,* a title he included in the lyrics a few minutes later and on which you reacted very positively some time ago. He then does the same with *"Marylou"* you also greatly appreciated. It thus includes many references to famous titles or artists, whether in the clip or the lyrics, such as; *AC/DC* (Thunderstruck), *David Bowie* (clown from "Ashes To Ashes" music video), *Freddy Mercury* ("I want to break free", "God save the Queen"), etc., all the musicians, but also the actors who inspired his career. The artists have always marked influences; this is the theme of this song in response to the media who criticized him a lot at his beginnings, believing he borrowed too much from the musical and vocal style of Polnareff (the singer *Calogero* suffered the same remarks, but he was criticized for copying too much *Obispo,* 😅). The media came to give him some credibility after he wrote big hits for other renowned artists; *Florent Pagny "Savoir Aimer,"* (Knowing how to love) *"Ma liberté de penser,"* (My freedom to think) but also *Johnny Hallyday "Ce que je sais"* (What I know) or *"Allumer le feu"* (Lighting the fire) in collaboration with *Zazie* for the lyrics, song to which you reacted. He also composed the music for the musical *"Les dix commandements"* (The Ten Commandments) including the song *"L'envie d'Aimer"* (The desire to love) performed by *Daniel Lévi.* He also composed *"Zen"* for *Zazie, * and *"A woman like any other"* for *Patricia Kaas.* Peace, folks, ☮🤗

Une de mes chansons préférées d’Obispo c’est "Lucie" , "les fleurs du bien" aussi C’est lui qui a écrit musique de la comédie musicale "les 10 commandements" où chantait le regretté Daniel Levi "Ce sera nous"

[@TRISTANA2210]

Ma préférée c'est d'un "Ave Maria", je ne peux pas l'écouter sans pleurer.

[@coinlecture5541]

This song is for all the journalists who criticized Obispo doing the same music than Michel Polnareff ! I love it 🥰

[@marceortiz1871]

[@cynthiagauthier8897]

This is a really good song and tribute to all the artists that inspired him and so many others.

[@OptLab]

Yes, it's a tribute. But Dereck does not like these types of songs, it's public knowledge guys :D

[@samueldevulder]

@@OptLab What he likes or not is one of the greatest mystery of mankind. To me, it seem very close to random. For instance he prefers François Valerie to Lio or Gotainer. Go figure! May be he prefers simplistic pop songs(french ”varietoche”) over pop songs with meaningful lyrics.

[@OptLab]

@@samueldevulder he likes songs with range from bass to treble. He does not like dry songs, it needs to have immersive soundstage. Pop Rock usually fails at that so it's hard to fill Obispo.

[@OptLab]

​@@samueldevulder I knew he would not like Gotainer but that was an exception because I think it's a special song I think one must know to understand the 80's in France. And music creation as a whole. Le youki's melody is bland, as hell. The refrain is very dry.

[@nathalietregouet5677]

@@samueldevulder Et cette horrible "reprise" de Dalida par un fan illustre inconnu (j'ai oublié le titre) : approuvé ! Et le clip débile montrant des femmes en bikini ("façon sex") genre musique (si on peut dire), gros sous, rails de coke et filles faciles, d'un groupe totalement tombé dans l'oubli - et c'est tant mieux- : approuvé !

Il ne l'a pas reconnu , c'est drôle !

[@colombe245]

He has a lot of much better songs ...but ok .... 😬😁 Go Pascal 🎉

[@martine2u]

Goodness gracious, who's giving you these recommendations? There's a lot of songs and singers from the French 80s that you haven't explored yet. Lio and Pascal Obispo don't really fall in that category or in styles that you seem to like. What about Telephone? Etienne Daho? More Veronique Sanson (she's got some excellent songs you have not yet explored)? I'm forgetting plenty of good singers/songs here. But not the last two. It's simply not the same level and not in the styles that you seem to prefer.

[@lyubovn.4890]

I didn't know this song and I was surprised too..! He starts acting all tough though his voice is so soft, almost shy. That's funny.

[@thierrybouly3431]

All is life Obispo was fan of Michel Polnareff. He wrote that song it was for is idol, unfortunately Michel rejected him and even complained publicly about Pascal. Many of the first songs of Pascal sound like they were made by Michel.

[@delphinearnaud7569]

You didn’t pick his best song… he has some great ones! Check out “ Personne, or “ plus que tout au monde “

[@itaqua974]

you have to take hit seriously pascal Obispo is a fan of Polnaref and the piano at the beginning reminds us is a tribute to "letter à France" by Polnaref. He shows us the large panel of his music taste by impersonating legends of music like Gene Simons, Angus Young, Marilyn Monroe, and Freddie Mercury.

[@SergeMeyer-pd5kj]

I agree with you about this singer

[@Ana.Fdez...]

Definitely not his best song Dereck !! Pascal Obispo is a great french singer songwriter who made a lot of hits, he also worked for many artists : Jean Jacques Goldman, Johnny Hallyday, Florent Pagny, Zazie, Patricia Kaas etc.... He created the musical "The ten commandments" and masterful song "L'envie d'aimer" sung by our deeply regretted Daniel Levi And he's a big fan of Michel Polnareff

you have to see his first hit on radio , so end eighties and beginning nineties time :) 🙌

[@L_A_B]

It is the representation of Polnareff, who appears seated at the piano, dressed in white. Pascal has a huge career behind him. He has been a prolific songwriter, making hits for his French-speaking colleagues. Of the old Pascal themes, I suggest Assassine and a little later, Les Fleurs du Bien. Also Rosa, in homage to Rosa Parks. A little newer, La Pretention de rien. Greetings from Argentina!

[@elodie_k221b]

It's not so much a tribute to the artists that he's portraying as it's a tribute to the fact of being a fan. Staying in your room for hours listening to your favourite artists, travelling to see them live, maybe hoping to meet them as well, etc.

Article published in 2004... In 2004, Michel Polnareff was violently torn with Pascal Obispo when the latter released the song Fan, which paid homage to him. A quarrel in which the interpreter of "Letter to France" would have left too many feathers according to Benjamin Biolay and Calogero. "Instead of shitting on Pascal Obispo's songs, he should have tried to make a good one with him. In the end, the guy started singing in front of the Sacré-Coeur and he ended up shopping in his tracksuit at "Whole Foods" In this song, through all these stars as an example, Pascal was a fan of Polnareff and this one was badly tackled when it was a tribute song to his favorite star. Polnareff sucks. Obispo is a big heart who takes care of various charities and he is really a very invested person. Article paru en 2004... En 2004, Michel Polnareff s'était violemment écharpé avec Pascal Obispo lorsque ce dernier avait sorti le morceau Fan, qui lui rendait hommage. Une querelle dans laquelle l'interprète de "Lettre à France" aurait laissé trop de plumes selon Benjamin Biolay et Calogero. "Au lieu de chier sur les chansons de Pascal Obispo, il aurait dû essayer d'en faire une de bien avec lui. Au final, le gars a commencé à chanter devant le Sacré-Coeur et il finit par faire ses courses en survêtement chez "Whole Foods" Dans cette chanson, à travers toutes ces stars en exemple, Pascal était fan de Polnareff et celui ci là méchamment taclé alors que c'était une chanson hommage à sa star préférée. Polnareff craint. Obispo est un grand coeur qui s'occupe d'associations caritatives diverses et c'est vraiment quelqu'un de très investi.
