You should react to « Yelle - Complètement fou ». You’re welcome :)

[@matthewrandom4523]

You should watch and react to the live performance in Canada 2015, at the Racine Carrée - so impressive!

[@ultrahenk]

Stromae is the kind of guy who can get you depressed and euphoric at the same time.

[@carl13220]

It sums up all his personality and songs.

[@letizialorusso1950]

This is so accurate lol

[@stephanievantielen5615]

Just listen to Formidable. One of the biggest masterpieces ever written!!!

[@pascalmarfaing1690]

Formidable is formidable !

[@davidgueneheux]

A Masterpiece!!!

[@alejmitra7483]

I think you were wrong. "Papaoutai" is his best song, and magnifique video. (in my opinion)

[@FabriceKinnar]

And the video is incredible ! A real hidden camera, everybody thought, even on tv, that Stromae had been seen drunk there that day :-) kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZDbeWqkpMakiqM&ab_channel=Stromae

[@skyhaard2739]

I prefer Tous les mêmes

[@QUENTINCOUGNIOT]

Man, I love your reactions so much !!

[@Shivahara]

This song is actually about : being depressed, being a piece of the machine that is capitalism. Everything in life brings problems and it just get worse. But to forget about this all we dance, we dance to forget, things get worse and when it doesn't stop we put the music louder and dance harder. But it continues so we close off our ears and start singing (to not hear or feel our problems) and when it finally dies a bit down we still continue dancing. (to froget everything is bad and is going wrong) The real meaning of this song is lost in translation often because there is a lot of symbolism (tied to both belgian and french culture) and nuance tied to it. Stromae, goes really really deep in what he writes. It's one of my favourites because it's so relatable.

[@korrigan6698]

in france we have myléne farmer, in belgium they have stromae! a genius. The lyrics are very important with stromae, it is very far from being commercial, it is a singer with text.

[@jeromehomesick2393]

Mylène Farmer is not french but Québec

[@korrigan6698]

@@jeromehomesick2393 his parents are french, his father was sent on a mission to canada for a limited time. She was born in Canada, and at the end of her father's mission, the whole family returned to France. She was 6 I think. she has dual nationality in fact. borning in a country gives you nationality by obligation, even if you only stayed there for a short time.

[@BugBug81]

This was his first hit, there's much more in his second album : "Papaoutai" (about the absence of a father model), "Formidable" (story of a break up, filmed with hidden cameras in the streets of Brussels), "Tous les mêmes" (about a couple fight where he plays both characters), "Carmen" (about social media addiction), "Ta fête", "Quand c'est ?" (about cancer), "Ave Cesaria" (tribute to Cesaria Evora)... He also takes great care of the visual part of his works, design his own clothes, creates choreographies...

[@cecilelemaire8672]

That song always remember me "Ça m'énerve" from Helmut Fritz... Don't know why 🤣

[@evakmohns5363]

This was everywhere in Europe, I still scream when it comes up in the radio or at party

Fantástico Por favor no dejes de ver FORMIDABLE y TOUS LE MEMES del genio Stromae

[@butterflyjessica1]

Alors on danse💃🏻Good reaction Dereck!

[@neilbrie8972]

At Least you discoverd the world of Stromae, and it's just the first song!!! The guy is a genius, his music epic! Enjoy .... Title: Papaoutai, C'est la fete! ....Tous les meme!

[@nathaliehan511]

Et Formidable 👍😄

[@yannhollister9091]

Great belgium artist, sucks that he stopped his musical career so quickly. I would recommand 'Papaoutai" or "Formidable" also by Stromae

[@PhoenixSinhopsysTV]

and more more more !

[@NDUM-qf6gi]

If you like Stromae, you should listen to Jacques Brel a great Belgian singer, we often compare Stomae to Brel, especially for the talent and the poetry of the texts ! kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2Pann6Zd9Jnf80 kzbin.info/www/bejne/paezqIifncaJmqc kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoeuiJypmrN6i7c ... Enjoy 😉

[@bernarddelafontaine4825]

He didn't stop his career. He just put it on hold to avoid being forced to repeat himself. Most girls of his age don't even know that guys in their early 20s can already have reached a level of wisdom most of the older claptrap sellers they're longing for can only dream of. Ladies, I might leave the subject here, but remember: the 18 or 20 yr old morons you consider shallow and childish will never magically change into the interesting, attentive and caring 40 somethings you secretly fancy. Yes, 16 yr olds who are more mature than you do exist, but you'd rather be caught dead than be seen in their company. They know that and prefer to have you make your own mistakes.

[@orsolalelli8593]

He is back with another masterpiece, great message and fascinating music

[@gustavoballan973]

He didn't stop at all. See, for example, "L'enfer"

[@Its_All_About_Music.]

The fact that he filmed this alone with colleges friends is incredible

[@JohannesVIII]

Stromae is so good. Sadly he found celebrity very overwhelming and had some sort of burnout after a few years, poor guy. Hoping he'll come back one day!

[@justasking9845]

he's working on a new album according the newspapers

[@wiliamboy]

Happy? He's back!

[@garryiglesias4074]

Although he does some good music tracks, his fame is also because of the lyrics and the "poetry" of rap and his delivery. I understand it might be difficult to get in a foreign language. French music is full of those gems, because we tend to be "lyric oriented", so they do not export well.

[@tfrt6086]

4:43 You see the movement you make with your body it's the result of an effect in the production it's called the sidechain the sidechain was put on the sax. This effect aims to give a pump effect on the saxophone for letting the kick stand out. It's very complicated to explain but that's what makes you want to move

[@delireent.3960]

You've never Heard about Stromae? I think he charted in the US too^^° he made only two album and became one of The best musician of his Time. But his popularity was way too heavy for him to handle and he Never made a New album since 2013 😔

[@pavolhakala7053]

And hes coming baaaack with new album on autumn

[@Benjamin-vf5wn]

This song was played in the sixth season of THE 100, Josephine dances listening to it in her bedroom on Sanctuary

[@cathsezille2287]

Stromae est juste formidable et génial tant sur la musique mais surtout sur les paroles et la pour quelqu un qui ne pratique pas la langue française ni trouvera pas toutes les subtilités... mais vraiment Stromae est une génie...

[@brunosco]

BTW, the saxophone in itself is also a Belgian thing, invented by Adolphe Sax.

[@hildegardkurku3504]

Hi Dereck,i like that Song Really.It wars for One two Years in the Charts in Germany I think so!😃What ten Years ?Oh my GOD!Time goes by!

[@thestoryofmylife7745]

Also listen to Stromae - Papaoutai

[@bobthenerve]

Stromae is amazing! I discovered him while vacationing in Paris in 2014. "Ta fête" was the first video I saw and it replayed several times throughout the day. If you haven't reacted to that video yet, you must!

[@opicatchu2164]

Iconic song all around Europa, Russia and Turkey...!!!!👍👍😍😍😍

[@kylepez604]

Ahhh oui j'adore Stromae !!! Très bien musique

[@PsclDragonBorn]

This song is so nostalgic. I love it.

[@clayk2122]

YES YES YEEEESSSS !!!!! You need to watch Papaoutai (translate as Dadwhereareyou) this is his biggest hit for sure. "Tous les mêmes" (translate All the same) is SO FUN he plays the boy and the girl in the video. This man is a genius

[@pascalmarfaing1690]

Papaoutais ? = papa où t'es ? = where are you dad ?

[@clayk2122]

@@pascalmarfaing1690 yes this is what it means

[@RommerskirchenFrank]

STROMAE is fantastic... all songs of him are amazing

[@ButWhatIfItIs]

I went a bit nuts when I heard this on Locke & Key. Didn't know how popular it was outside Europe :)

[@christlafont102]

Stromea is a great artist, his first hit was catchy and a basic video, those next song are powerful lyrics, catchy beat, cleaver video, 1, Papaoutai (father where are you), relationship between father and son, 2, Tous les mêmes, 3, Formidable 4, Quand c’est (pronounced Cancer), dark

[@oneeyejack2]

Stromae is highly inspired by Jacques Brel (another much older great singer from Belgium)

[@lamdreyderedesch2419]

Tu es trop chou, j’adore tes réaction 🥰

[@pascalineweiss2183]

I remember the first time i saw THIS clip, heard THIS music and saw THIS face , i was instantly captivated ! This guy is a kind of genius ; his creative approach is very global : i think he still have his clothes brand ( Mosaert) with his wife , but i miss his music ...

[@Volanne]

"Formidable" is a must see and must hear, Dereck!

[@kotoal]

Yes yes yes Stromae !!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@genevievecournoyer1461]

You're on fire today Dereck! Stromae is Maestro in French "verlan". He is an amazing writer and artist. Look up Formidable and Papaoutai.

[@Sarah83_loves_bass]

Milow is a great belgian musician too ❤👍🏻 The lyrics from Stromae are EPIC ❤ Proud to be from Belgium ❤🇧🇪❤

[@Kolket1389]

Certified Europe club classic

[@humbertomonacelli]

Stromae= Maestro

[@ddbe3932]

Stromae stands for Maestro. He twisted the word to create his name as an artist.

[@patxigarridodelgado6056]

Formidable Stromae...🤩

[@magalibruyere5359]

His best singles are "Ta Fête", "Papaoutai", "Tous les mêmes", "Carmen" (Formidables it's more for the lyrics than the music, it's talking).

[@luckydevil4594]

Fooormidable !! 😉😉😉

It is not a saxophone, it is an old sick duck according to Jamel ^^

Stromae is real genius, his albums contain "all killers, no fillers" I believe he is pronounced "Schtromai" in Belgium, is that right?

No, S not Sch Stromae is an inversion of syllables = mae-stro

[@stefanzantes8818]

[@onewxrldmusic7303]

Since you like this., you will love a deconstruction of the song or how it was created in a very comic way by Stromae and comedian Jamel Debbouze. Please check. It is fascinating. Stromae is Belgian of Rwandan origin.

[@nalemande]

Stromae !!! Yes !!!!!!! On his other big hit, you can try formidable, papaoutai, ta fête, te quiero, quand c'est... From Belgium, very famous in this time, you have stromae, Loic Nottet ( you have reacted to his song milion eyes, you have to try 2019 halloween and Mr/Mme), you also have dj Henry PFR and Kid Noize. Thanks to react to our little country ♡

[@onewxrldmusic7303]

Plus he made a TEDx Brussels talk about this song showing the various phases to the public in simiular fashion to the one he did with the comedian Debbouze

[@LeGnocchi]

The lyrics are very good too

[@ludivinebalthazar9189]

Stromae ??? Je pensais pas voir ce son ici 😀 Stromae c'est pas mal aussi ❤️👍

[@megapoo2274]

❤❤❤

[@TheMael28]

You must absolutely watch his concert in Montreal (Stromae - Racine Carrée (Live Full Concert)).

[@zagork78]

For me, STROMAE's best song thus far is PAPAOUTAI, it's a phonetic way of writing 'papa où t'es' (= dad where are you) bc he lost his dad at a young age due to civil war in Rwanda. It mixes electro with african music patterns

[@pascalmarfaing1690]

" Alors on danse " is the Stromae's first hit. He recorded the single at home , with a computeur + synthesizer . All the music is electronical. It is Belgian house music ! His lyrics are very sad. He dances to forget the difficult reality. For the video " Formidable " , Stromae should REALLY have an OSCAR ! Stromae = Maestro = Maître = Master.

[@catfrexfrecat1800]

In the lyrics he not say that he dances for enjoy, no, just for forgetten ,one moment, problems (of the life, of the job), like other peoples drink.

[@heathcliff1096]

Have a try with the singer Philip Katerine and his most famous song "Louxor j'adore"

[@aristothethrone9032]

me lookinf for reactions to his music because I found out he's dropping a new album.

[@karimaliege1051]

Our boss from belgium !!!!! You must try "formidable" his song filmed on hidden camera in brussels faking to be drunk in streets, people thought it was Real, then we see it in the news because lot of people made videos and then he release the video on his KZbin channel and made a huge buzz!!! He has more than 1 million views in just 1 or 2 days, and now i think its more than 8 or 9 millions!!!!

[@pascalmarfaing1690]

Yes ! Formidable is an original video , never seen before. It's : « Fooormidable ! » Sad lyrics.

[@vincemoon6112]

as a french person ( and gay ) i can tell you the song is popular EVERYWHERE , not only on the gay seen. He actually skyrocked with this song. If you have time , check out Lous and the Yakuza ( Tout est gore , Dilemme , Amigo and Je ne sais pas )

[@deniseweibel8160]

Stromae is dope genius belgium guy

[@steliosgr9076]

WE NEED STROMAE BACK

[@davidlys5069]

Thank you Derreck for react to my request, but don't forget his 4 others songs i've submit to you ("Quand c'est" will chock you by the message, and "Carmen" too, "Formidable" when he plays à drunk guy, and of course "tous les mêmes" with an subtile artistic performance in the clip. And after, if you want to, Christophe Maé is a very good french singer to, I suggest you "il est où le bonheur", and others, check it out by yourself!

[@anne-mariegoujon1311]

Maybe it sounds familiar to you because Stromae has sung this with the Black Eyed Peas in France, on Taratata show, some years ago.

[@xander23cage]

Le son de « alors on danse » est un son repris d’un morceau dance des années 90-2000 mais je n’arrive pas à remettre la main dessus ! Je pense que Stromae est content que quasi personne ne se rappelle de ce titre ! Mais moi quand j’ai entendu la première « alors on danse » je me suis dit « c’est pas vrai qu’il y en a un qui a repris ce son ! »

[@piloupilou9128]

I like this song

[@RiRiMcDowellGrondin]

Brilliant! It you wanna check out more of Stromae, may I suggest "Papaoutai" or "Tous Les Mêmes"...

some further random recommendations : more Stromae, more Balavoine, Florent Pagny (Le soldat), Christophe (les mots bleus), Serge Gainsbourg (La Javanaise), Johnny Hallyday (Diego), Aznavour (La Bohème), Julien Clerc (Ma préférence)

[@naruokami]

Hi! little suggestions for another Belgian singers: Jacques Brel with his song "Quand on a que l'amour" (1956 maybe too old) and Maurane in duet with Lara Fabian "Tu es mon autre" or alone with "Armstrong"

[@EmilieWhoknows]

Just so you know : Stromae means "Maestro" in some french way to speak ;)
