Interview: Christine and the Queens - from Paris to pop star

Christine talks to Jackie Long about her journey from Paris to pop star.

[@aislinlindsay3570]

She is not ugly! She's the first singer in this time that isn't caked in makeup and over sexualised. She has a real talent that not many people do

[@sjmorrishome]

Well said...so true

[@theamandashow4561]

Perfect. A refreshing artist, just brilliant! I love France and the French :)

[@TheShamanicHealerGod]

Who's saying she is ugly ? :/

[@samanthatheriot8879]

This woman has a great story.....inspiring, fresh, talented and most of all she's REAL. I love her so much !!!!

[@TCt83067695]

Sam E ikr? I was like have you been absent from the music scene for decades or something? Lol

[@aquablushgirl]

I think she is wonderful, simply wonderful.

[@amyyh18]

France is so lucky to have her!!

[@GeorgiaGeorgette]

The whole world is lucky to have her ❤

[@ericdurville6306]

... With DAFT PUNK ! :)

[@tokyonobara]

She's the first artist since kate bush that is so inspiring, transfers so much energy, that i literally have to cry :D wow this woman is amazing!

[@sabinacsok2368]

kathrin couldn’t agree more. Love her

[@Abby_walks]

Yes I love the music incorporated with modern dance. Reminds me of Kate Bush: )

[@oneirosmorpheus]

Well said Friend.

[@zoejohnston8816]

it fills me with so much love looking at all the comments saying how much you guys love her... she is just simply amazing

[@MrJacksonvill]

its great to see Artists truly expressing them selves. I just discovered her with a chance look frm Graham Norton viewing of her performance TILTED! I thought she was Brilliant.!! As a Artist who still practice the Art of performing I had an opportunity to travel to her wonderful country France. The people there are full of life. I loved it when I was there so years ago. I also love the language very much. All I can say is Pray for France and its people for a speedy recovery. They produce wonderful artists such as this beautiful young lady.

[@MrJacksonvill]

neil eastell what are you talking about..its very important to not mix the politics with an artist. What does that have to do with her art the countries political woes.

[@MrJacksonvill]

she fled France if you didnt hear the interview...her roots is France.

[@franckleveneur676]

Agree with Garfield. Muslims only represent 10% of the population. Don't worry buddy, we've been thru many wars, we've been occupied and we always defended our country. We're pacifist, maybe sometime too nice, but we're passionate about our values.

[@franckleveneur676]

Garfield. Thank you for seeing her that way. Being from France, I miss it a lot. You're right people are full of life, we take time to live and love. Love is everywhere and you see it in this video, choreography, it's sensual, subtle. In USA, Violence is on TV, billboard, movies, Radio and words. America needs to open up !

[@MrJacksonvill]

Franck Leveneur oh yes! Music is in such a trendy space,but thank God the internet still offers us variety. I find her vivacious and refreshing..I hope she continues to put out Art like that. Fantastic. I traveled and worked in France myself as an Artist as well ..I loved it.The people were very receptive.

[@AR-ii3ly]

You can't have a soulful voice as she does without going through some pain. You can literally feel her emotions when she sings.

[@torontoboy45]

Fucking hell! For years I've been waiting for a breath of fresh air in music and here it is! This might sound weird coming from a 50yr-old guy but I still love good music and here it's coming from a woman whose beauty isn't immediately obvious only to those who rate artistes on looks alone. Trust me: this woman is genuinely beautiful.

[@elitemangudai1016]

she is the best example oft natural beauty. i mean look at her decent looking modestly dressed honest, excited, intelligent, thoughtful. vivid! its like she freed her soul. you know how excited she is you want to be happy for this girl. before I knew her story I was like wow shes so classy but now i think shes even more classy. she knows what few know.

[@leepshin]

There's absolutely nothing ugly about her. Her band name alone does raise questions being asked so she can answer them honestly. What a quaint little genius she is and I wish her well in her heartfelt endeavours.

[@MrTalklikeapirate]

Not many artists would do an interview looking like they've just been swimming. All power to her.

[@mtheminaashisimp9832]

John Mason like she said everybody expresses themselves differently I think she’s a beautiful woman 💜

[@CastledarkDweller27]

and how great is it, that she probably had!

[@GenevieveEKelly]

I just came upon this performer this evening. What a star! Her voice her dancing, so unique. So glad to learn about this very talented person.

[@CandiceLikes]

soon wish we had more Christines in the world today. She is a beautiful person.

[@waybec102]

The way she talks and expresses herself her attractive beauty absolutely shines through.

[@robertgearhart8030]

Shes fucking awesome, substance, story, music, group, backround, independence, bilingality, true to roots, strong, artist, choreography, everything.

[@freddielaker2]

She is just magnificent...... simples! I'm struck by her voice.

[@Noddyok]

So talented and beautiful (inside and out) - I absolutely LOVE everything Christine stands for! May she be blessed in every way!

[@girlroomglitz]

She is awesome. I love her.

[@bflathead]

She’s a very beautiful soul....❤️❤️❤️ love her music and videos.

[@writesitright]

I'm so thankful she's so young so that we'll have many more years of her art to enjoy and explore. Bravo, Héloïse

[@thesugarvenom4179]

I love Christine. She opened for Marina when I saw her in concert and she stole the show. I'm happy she's so successful internationally. She's so innovative, she's a phenomenal performer, and she's an activist.

[@snezanatodorovic628]

Robbie Baker How do you know she is activist?

[@zoecain123]

Did you her and Marina at terminal 5 in nyc?

[@juliethompson5301]

He is wonderful,inspiring and truly creative

[@christinec.2372]

I just stumbled upon this wonderful artist on Twitter... wow...inspiring young woman.

[@jamesparsons5864]

I heard your song on so you think you can dance. Immediately fell in love. Then watched your video all night. Absolutely amazing dancer. Almost like Michael Jackson in a woman's body. It inspired me to get and mimicked your dancing after many years of not dancing at all when I woild go dancing almost everynight. Now I have a dream of dancing with you in person. I'm an old man hoping to relieve my youth

[@runtheroad3]

I could listen to this perfect genius forever

[@adamboots1]

She’s so “free-sounding” it almost makes me cry! What an inspirational person! If you’ve ever been forced to hide, listen to Christine and the Queens Xxx 🏳️‍🌈💕💪😎🦸‍♂️💪🏳️‍🌈💪💓😎💕

[@annettepugh6642]

The most beautiful woman ever, the most talented songwriter of our generation and an amazing dancer. She moves me

[@MsMicroelk]

ELLE photoshopped her flaws! What flaws?! Seriously. No, they photoshopped to make her fit into what they wanted her to be rather than who she was. It's everything that's wrong with that industry and whether we like it or not it has a huge influence on how we perceive others. It needs to end. C&TQ is amazing and an incredible role model.

[@amyc6575]

I absolutely adore her. She’s an inspiration ❤

[@coconut3958]

[@dj_jazzywhut]

She just pours all of her heart and soul into her beautiful music.

[@partisanalternativenews7671]

Wow a broken heart brought out beautiful music. She's got something special she's got a different song and dancing style which we have not seen since Michael Jackson

[@janebassett2121]

This artist is epic. Her music is magical and touching.

[@Brazpantaneiro]

You're very beautiful human being Christine and the Queens. Love you in wherever side you chose to love. Te amo!

[@cheofbowland]

[@InspectorSunitaH]

[@DarkFairy317]

Very beautiful talented women thank you for your mazing creativity for music and your beautiful heart. ❤

[@emo.851]

she's a cutie. and generally, intellectually unmatched in the the music scene. How can she construct such beautiful sentences in English even when it's not her native tongue.

[@Maowel]

Her father is one of the most esteemed scholars of English literature in France. That may have to do with her linguistic skills ;)

[@TheBuccaneer1975]

The more I hear both her and her work the more I like her.

[@andrewwells9983]

I think that people are missing the point ,she does not think that she is ugly or beautiful, female or male she / he is what he/ she is and should accepted and allowed to be x

[@nenerobertson6176]

I think she is beautiful inside and out ❤

[@daxdenton2289]

I like that she doesn’t want her flaws covered up and what she said about older peoples wrinkles older people have earned them they are a road map to wisdom , understanding and should be worn with pride in earning them and never covered up just like peoples flaws we need learn to except and love people for their Beautiful flaws

[@markielinhart]

Absolutely refreshing and openly gorgeous 👏⭐️👏⭐️👏⭐️👏

[@jocelynbrown3828]

I like them! Talented.

[@AndRewUK24]

A very revealing interview quite fascinating because she is one of the new discovery music artist of 2016.

[@ingridoliveira9362]

Que o Brasil descubra ela tbm pra ela fazer tour pro lado de cá, porque se antes eu estava encantada com as músicas, agora estou pela pessoa

[@KempoGuy-sq4ce]

Art, Love, Music,Creativity, Passion,Pain, Perseverance, Failure, Faith & Triumph knows no gender nor skin color....
