STROMAE Reaction Carmen (AMAZING..BUT TRUE!) | Dereck Reacts

[@LetsChillPage]

Carmen is the most performed opera in the world. "L'amour est un oiseau rebelle (que nul ne peut apprivoiser)" (Love is a rebellious bird - ...which no one can tame) is the most famous song of this opera. It is sung from the first act. Obviously Stromaë very cleverly transposed these words to draw a parallel with the emblem of Twitter which is a blue bird and thus show the dark and vampiric side of social networks.

thankyou!!! this is the "start point"!

[@onewxrldmusic7303]

This is an adaptation of a well known tune from aria "Habanera" from the opera "Carmen" by French composer Georges Bizet

[@martine2u]

This kid is something else. Extremely talented. Clever, full of puns and play on words, double-entendre. Tough to translate but absolutely delectable in French. I'm discovering most of his songs. A true pleasure.

[@lalicornejacqueline8271]

STROMAE is a genious , he’s a visionary ,he says a lot of truths ! and in addition ,its sounds are absolutely unique . 💙

[@TheZapan99]

The clip of Carmen was done by Sylvain Chomet, an animation genius mostly known for his feature film The Triplets of Belleville. Many celebrities are caricatured during the Twitter bird ride sequence, including Barack Obama, Queen Elizabeth, Justin Bieber, Kanye & Kim and Lady Gaga. The character that gets a zoom-in first is the french rap artist Orelsan, that got cancelled by the Twitter mob around that time for his edgy song "Sale Pute" (Dirty Whore) in which he speaks from the POV of a scorned lover wishing physical abuse on his ex-girlfriend. The final sequence is also reminiscent of the 1982 film Pink Floyd: The Wall, in which factory-produced children end up in a meat grinder operated by a monstrous teacher.

Merci pour toutes ces références dont mon inconscient refusait de me donner les noms!

[@alansmithee123]

When you say he's almost rapping you're not far off ! If you look at the credits, Orelsan, a french rapper, is listed as his cowriter. And Stromae was a feat in one of the songs ("La pluie") of Orelsan's last album. You should actally check some of this album songs, it go away from pure rap to go in a more rap-pop, stromaesque direction. I would recommend "La pluie", "Paradis" and "Tout va bien", they're the ones I think match the more your style. "Basique", "Rêves bizarres" and "Défaites de famille" are more on the rappy side but they are soooo good. And the icing on the cake is that ALL the music videos are AMAZING, especially "Rêves bizarres" and "Paradis" (seriously they should have won an award for this one). Keep up with the great content ^^ Have a nice day.

Stromae's oldest KZbin videos is him rapping

[@bertmatt]

gonna check this out, thanks mate

[@katheryne-bois]

One interesting part of the song is when he is singing “C’est comme ça qu’on s’aime et c’est comme ca qu’on sommes!” In english means “It’s like that that we love and it is like that we are” but the end of it has a double meaning by the rhymes it means also, “C’est comme ça consomme!” In English, “it’s like that we consume”

[@LadyArachnea]

the melody & the rythm are sampled from the Opera "Carmen" ... the most famous French Opera in the world .. Masterpiece .. Indeed Stromae did a sort of remix of the music ... You should give a try to the orginal version .. this is the song "L'amour est un oiseau rebelle"

[@m_li_ma]

I don't know if this is your first contact with Stromae but his work is amazing, you should listen to the whole racine carée album

[@DereckReacts]

I have more check my Stromae playlist

[@picasnathanael4663]

You should react to his live concert. The whole show is available on KZbin. Best 2 hours of my life!

[@bertrandronge9019]

Stromae came into fame with his song "Alors on danse" but since that song, It seems all of his song always carry a deep message. The interesting or visionary thing is that all the fame and histery due to his success made him make a complete burnout and this is the reason why he left the stage for years now ! He said he felt like "the thruman show" movie

[@mr.merleb]

Notice how at one point in the video the bird becomes so large that it switches places from being on his shoulder to literally becoming the one who is carrying Stromae. So deep and shows how eventually fame and social media takes over and controls you. And at the end, the bird resets and the cycle starts again....

[@AlbertNonime]

This man is genious. Nothing more to add !

[@gmminy971-93]

Indeed he's from hip-hop then create his own style. This Guy is just a genius. Thx for this reactions and your work.

[@richardmtl]

The more I hear him, the more I love

[@dina-ys6xf]

Nice analysis Dereck 😊 Stromae is a maestro👌🏼🇧🇪🤩

[@Cchouette]

A fair criticism of social networks and Twitter "Beware, that's how we love oneself, that's how we consume" 😉

[@samueldevulder]

Mince je ne connaissais pas, et c'est excellent. Merci Dereck de m'avoir fait découvrir cela. Cool B^) (Damn, I didn"t know this song and it is very good. Thanks Dereck for sharing this to us and let me discover this song. That's cool)

More Stromae please. There's no music like his. I love him.

[@eliseb.4341]

Stromae = génie ! 🎹🎶❤

[@legitor513]

Je découvre cette chanson maintenant (alors que je suis français). Il faut dire qu'elle ne passe jamais à la radio. Donc merci Dereck car je ne l'aurai peut être jamais entendue. Pertinente, géniale, comme toujours avec Stromae. Vivement son nouvel album!

[@t0ogamrz235]

Tu devrais écouter tout l'album ou presque alors si tu as raté celle ci car il est probable que tu en ais raté d'autres aussi bien.

[@marielebars7233]

Tout l'album racine carrée est exceptionnel

Elle passait à la radio mais il y a des années maintenant 😄

[@bardoubruno498]

Je ne connaissais pas ce titre, j'avoue que que je suis vraiment impressionné par tous les aspects. Ce gars est un génie, le texte est à la fois précis et percutant. Il en dit beaucoup dans cette chanson !

[@acapellasko1378]

Dude, you have no idea what you just watched... over a year ago, yeah, I'm a bit late. But dude, directed by Sylvain Chomet! One of the greatest contemporary french animator if not the best one!

[@samueldevulder]

4:46 The other character looks like Orelsan (who seem to be in the backing vocals by the end) !!!

[@paulchapoy992]

Thank you so much for this great reaction! As you say, Stromae is so creative! What a pity Stromae did a burn out for giving too many concerts around the world, he is so good! This song is a modern homage to the very famous french opera "Carmen" , already a pure absolute masterpeace! But Stromae is as you say a genius, and his words are also very creative! Belgium generously gives to France so many Talents, that we are full of recognition and respect !!! We 🇫🇷 💖 🇧🇪 ! Thank-you so much Dereck, see you soon ! (... and PS: Don't hesitate to react to Orelsan, as he is a rapper also very creative!)

[@vanessabar59vb]

La chanson que j aime et qui me touche de cet artiste est "Quand c est". Elle est magnifique je trouve. Et celle qui me fait mourir de rire c est "Paulo / moules frites "🤣🤣🤣. Son concert RACINE CARRE est sur KZbin. Il est incroyable. Véritable showman

[@simonxxx2284]

Et pourtant, le titre Moules Frites parle d'un sujet bien moins drôle: le sida

[@at_oussama]

You should react to Jain - Come, very underrated artist from South Africa and you'll love her sound if you enjoyed Stromae's

[@iralo6071]
