Hello Dereck, yes she rolled the "r" Edith a lot, that was the time and her trademark. We articulated a lot at that time, since French is sung and spoken differently, these are the old French accents. You could watch the movie "la vie en rose, la môme" the biopic on her life. Kiss from France
@@benmzd7313 L'important là dedans c'est "vieil".. tellement vieux que c'était déjà démodé du temps de Piaf! Pour parisien ca n'est rien face à celui d'Arletty.
We are just beginning to reappreciate the studio recordings of Edith Piaf. The live versions were so emotional and powerful. In the studio, she was a perfectionist. I think there is room in the world for both.
My favorite song of Edith piaf is "mon dieu". It is just raw emotion. About the tragedy with her lover Marcel, who died in airplane crash to go see her in USA.
She is the last french singer to roll the "r" like that except long time after Mirelle Matthieu did and I think by that time a lot of regional accents use to roll "r" like this but after war media, radio TV or even cinema normalized french.
I was born the 11th october 1963, 40 km west of Paris. In fact I was really born just before midnigth the 10th of october but the midwife recorded my birth just after midnigth the time for her to reach the birth register in her office. This nigth in the south of France Edith Piaf died the 10th of october but recorded the 11th, and her body immediatly repatriated in Paris. My mother told me when she given me birth around midnigth a midwife enter the room and said to everyones that the radio just announced the death of Edith Piaf. This is the only date related to a celebrity I know. My favourite song of Edith Piaf is « La Foule ».
I watch a lot of reaction channels but I've never seen a young man reacting to Edith Piaf. Thank you! You should check out Gilbert Becaud, especially his late live performances at the Olympia.
C'est génial de vous avoir Dereck car grâce à vous , je redécouvre tellement de chanteurs, d'artistes qui, au travers de dizaines d'années ont fait la grandeur culturelle de la France, merci !
To avoid any confusion, “Milord” is how French people used to pronounce “My Lord”. You can find the female version in Alexandre Dumas’ Les trois mousquetaires (The musketeers), in which one of the main character, a spy of Richelieu’s, is named “Milady”, standing for My Lady.
I am familiar with the American Teresa Brewer version of this song and loved that. It is great to experience the original. Thanks for your analysis; I didn't realise the depth to the lyrics wow!
C'est la plus grande ,en talant , pas par sa taille par contre ! Ne pas oublier BARBARA avec l'Aigle noir (the Black Eagle) et FERRE avec "" Avec le Temps" (With te Time)!!!!!
Hi Derek, I'm sure you'll love her version of Les Trois Cloches (The Three Bells) that she recorded a capella with the male choir Les Compagnons de la Chanson.
Je ne suis pas si sûr qu'à l'époque d'Edith Piaf beaucoup de gens natifs de Paris roulaient les "r", même au tout début du 20ème siècle : c'est plutôt quelque chose qu'on trouvait dans la chanson ou chez certaines personnes originaires d'autres régions ou d'autres pays (Italie, Pologne...) mais pas dans le langage parisien de tous les jours. Je me souviens de mes grands-parents et arrière-grands parents, dont un grand-père maternel qui était un parfait "titi parisien" ; ils ne roulaient pas les "r" mais avaient d'autres particularités de langage, les voyelles étaient traînantes, dans mon souvenir cela ressemblait plutôt à la façon de parler d'un Jean Gabin...

C'est une hypothèse. En tout cas, Edith Piaf est née à Paris d'un père Normand et... d'une mère italienne. Le deuxième prénom d'Edith était Giovanna ! Son vrai nom était Edith Giovanna Gassion.

Il s'agit plutôt de R grasseyés plutôt que roulés. Une tradition de cabaret. Si on écoute attentivement parfois il y a des ratés. On accentuait les E finaux aussi, bien commode pour les rimes parfois 😊
l’accordéoniste (live version); la foule; sous le ciel de Paris ; mon manage à moi; mon Dieu..lots of wonderful songs, amazingly sang. I love this little woman and her incredible life. From the street to the top of the world. I love her voice and her control.
De las mejores francesas de la canción.un Mito.tuvo una vida durísima desde pequeña.te recomiendo que veas su biografía,también la puedes ver en película de hace unos años.gracias por traer calidad al canal👏👏👏👏👏👏👩⚕️😷🇪🇦💜👌
the song "mon légionnaire", covered and arranged by Serge Gainsbourg that you had listened to the other day is a song that Edith Piaf sang originally 😊
Also I don't know if you've looked for the translation of these lyrics- very sad unrequitted love song indeed She has a distinctive french Parisian accent- Back in those days they (Parisians) also had a very unique lingo Jacques Brel is a true poet songster as well. His Ne Me Quitte Pas is beautiful
Now you have to do it with « l’hymne à l’amour »!!!! And you have to understand what she said… this is the most beautiful song about love around the world! You can’t stay indifferent , this song is still very much listened today. This is perfect!
Rolling the R's was a sign of the times in old French-Chanson-style. If you want to hear more R's rolled, I suggest you listen to Charles Aznavour (Namely: "La Bohème", "For me Formidable", "Emmenez-moi" amongst many others).
Édith Piaf - L'hymne à L'Amour (1950), The most beautiful love song of all time. You should react to Celine Dion's live version at the 2015 American Music Awards after the Paris attacks ... very moving.
I know people always say in the comments "This person is a legend" but... Edith Piaf is a legend amongst the legends. You can only admire her and her talent. She had an horrible life, actually, you should definitely watch the movie about her, "La Vie en Rose", it's great.
How to sell a song! I suggest the really wonderful, but now almost forgotten "C'est l'Amour". It is on youtube, but not a live performance, which I would have loved to see.
French language use to roll the r in the past. The modern pronounciation that many people think to be qui tessentially french is actually quite recent. In many country sides r were rolled until WW2
Edith Piaff a chanté beaucoup d'autres chansons telles que "La foule", "Padam, padam"... Elle a été l'une des plus grandes interprètes de "Sous les ponts de Paris" et il est intéressant de voir comment une chanteuse d'aujourd'hui, Zaz, a été capable de reprendre cette chanson avec une instrumentation moderne (et une très jolie vidéo) et à quel point le résultat est une réussite ! Edith Piaff sang a lot of other songs like "La foule" (the crowd), "Padam, padam"... She was one of the greatest singers for the song "Sous les ponts de Paris" ("Under Paris bridges) and it's interesting to see how an actual singer, Zaz, could make a cover song with modern instrumentation (and a very pretty video) and how the result is a success ! th-cam.com/video/ydtryV65UGk/w-d-xo.html
Yo, if you like haw she rolls the "r" and the old French music, react to "Mon amant de Saint-Jean" de Julienne Delyle. French people was actually rolling "r" in a not so long time (my great-oncle has this accent so it's not this old).
How do I understand this song, it's a girl of nothing, not a subpackage, (maybe even she's prostitute, it's a personal interpretation) ... Him, Milord is rich it's not someone one who is interested in her; He preferring much more classy women, he has the way of his social class, proud of his money, clothes of great fashion designer and disdainful towards the little people, in fact the poor he does not see them. Except that today, in spite of his "lifestyle" wealth is unfortunate, the rich woman who struts on his arm yesterday, leave her as a miserable. And this girl seeing her sentence/"pain" , while making him morality is it for comforting, she is very rich in good feeling than her fortune. . Comment je comprend cette chanson , c'est une fille de rien , pas un sous en poche , (peut être même elle est prostituée , c'est une interprétation toute personnelle) ... Lui, milord est riche c'est pas quelqu'un qui s'intéresse a elle ; lui préférant des femmes bien plus classieuse , il a les manière de sa classe sociale , fier de son argent , des habits de grand couturier et dédaigneux envers les petites gens , en fait les pauvres il ne les voit pas . Sauf qu'aujourd'hui malgré sa richesse "Milord" est malheureux , la femme riche qui se pavanait a son bras , hier , la quitter comme un misérable . Et cette fille de rien voyant sa peine , tout en lui faisant la morale est la pour le réconforté , elle la fille de de rien est bien plus riche de bon sentiment que de sa fortune .
Who thinks Dereck could/should also react to ZAZ. She did a Edith Piaf cover with "Dans ma rue" (hard stuff!), but I'd rather go for a happier "Je veux" (th-cam.com/video/0TFNGRYMz1U/w-d-xo.html)
Mikis Theodorakis died today. Among many things he made, he composed the music of that song of Édith Piaf: Les amants de Teruel. Her voice in that song is amazing. You can feel all the fatigue of a lifetime, the depth of the soul. She didn't have much time to live. (People don't use to dig much into her formidable repertoire) th-cam.com/video/ImNcSYpRjvE/w-d-xo.html
Her "r" are not rolled but still glottal like in regular spoken French, just more pronounced. Other singers who did that as part of their vocal style were Jacques Brel and Mireille Mathieu.
I see a lot of glorifications here, but let me clarify a few things. She wasn't the great singer everyone claims she was. For example, during her career, she sold very few CDs ! (just kidding :*) )
If you listen to: "Mireille Mathieu singing La Marseillaise (with lyrics)" th-cam.com/video/SIxOl1EraXA/w-d-xo.html (L'hymne national de la France) she almost do the same. It's not to react, just to watch (incredible! Read the comments under the video too, there's more reactions from people around the world than from French people). But Edith Piaf is a legend, she made so many people cry all around the Earth just by listening to her. "La Foule" (The crowd) and "Milord" are my favorites.
You should listen to Mireille Matthieu. She rolls the "r", too. She's French, but she also was singing many songs in German language where she was very popular. I always loved her accent when I listened to her singing in my native language.
@@TomTom-p9g Ah je me suis trompé la 4e c'est pas Piaf, mais vous. Je pensais pas qu'on pouvait manquer autant d'humour et de second degré en choisissant un pseudo pareil.
@@samueldevulder effectivement je n'avais pas vu la fin du message. Tu a tout à fait raison je n' ai aucun humour et ne parlons même pas du second degré. quant à l'autoderision il est inexistant. 😉
La foule etc L'hymne à L'Amour. Perfect Edith Piaf.
"Mon Dieu" too
Yes and Yes! Oui et Oui!
Hello Dereck, yes she rolled the "r" Edith a lot, that was the time and her trademark. We articulated a lot at that time, since French is sung and spoken differently, these are the old French accents. You could watch the movie "la vie en rose, la môme" the biopic on her life. Kiss from France
Bien obligé d'articuler dans la mesure ou les instruments d'enregistrements étaient pourris il y a 100 ans.
@@samueldevulder maintenant ils savent plus articuler de toute façon
Le vieil accent parisien !
@@benmzd7313 L'important là dedans c'est "vieil".. tellement vieux que c'était déjà démodé du temps de Piaf! Pour parisien ca n'est rien face à celui d'Arletty.
Thanks for clearing that up! Always great to know some back story. I shall have a look!✌🏽
Piaf was one of the best female voices of the 20th century. Singers like that are very, very, very rare.
We are just beginning to reappreciate the studio recordings of Edith Piaf. The live versions were so emotional and powerful. In the studio, she was a perfectionist. I think there is room in the world for both.
The current French standard is quite recent. For centuries rolling the "Rrs" was normal in Old French like many regional languages in France.
C'est du grasseyement plutôt
My favorite song of Edith piaf is "mon dieu".
It is just raw emotion.
About the tragedy with her lover Marcel, who died in airplane crash to go see her in USA.

"la foule" by edith piaf now dereck ...🙏🙏🙏
"La foule" is the best for me
magique
Nobody will ever come close to this lady. She was 100% genuine, humble and talented. Love her songs since childhood.
"Les amants d'un jour" will forever be my favorite of hers.
Thank you!! You must do "l'hymne à l'amour" of Piaf pleaaasseeee
Hi Derek. Glad you loved the great Edith Piaf. If you want hear her full power right away, L'homme à la moto is what you need

Et d'ailleurs My Lane, se dit Milène en français en suivant la même logique.. Hein quoi c'est pas ca ? :)
@@samueldevulder Ok, that’s not the worst Joke of the Day, so you get one point from the jury. But don’t get bold;-)
“Mais, vous pleurez, milord.” (But, you are weeping, Sir!). Englishmen of the upper class, not necessarily aristocrats, are called “milord.”
I was in love with her when I was a kid, I still love her as I'm an old lad.
Look at the movie !
So good biopic !
Her most FAMOUS song
(Non je n regret n rien ) you have GOT to hear it.. ( l regret nothing )
Great Reaction Dereck !
Une grande de la chanson avec une voix extraordinaire
Madame Edith Piaf c'est un monument (it is a monument)
Yes Edith Piaf is great.
this song is great, written by Moustaki
Try also "Les Amants d'un jour" beautifuk lyrics, great story

Edith Piaf was our greatest singer
She was!
@François Yes, and unique.
Love Edith Piaf. You should listen to La Foule
Hello Dereck! You definitely need to hear "l'hymne à l'amour", "la foule"... They're soo many great songs 🤍
I am familiar with the American Teresa Brewer version of this song and loved that. It is great to experience the original. Thanks for your analysis; I didn't realise the depth to the lyrics wow!
C'est la plus grande ,en talant , pas par sa taille par contre ! Ne pas oublier BARBARA avec l'Aigle noir (the Black Eagle) et FERRE avec "" Avec le Temps" (With te Time)!!!!!
"La plus grande en talent", je ne partage pas cet avis , mais j'ai beaucoup de respect pour la femme et son oeuvre .
Ne pas oublier non plus les VRP, les garçons bouchers....

1 of my very favorite Piaf songs! You should try her Mon Dieu- it's a very deep song!!! Allez venez Milord.......
Hi Derek, I'm sure you'll love her version of Les Trois Cloches (The Three Bells) that she recorded a capella with the male choir Les Compagnons de la Chanson.
Je ne suis pas si sûr qu'à l'époque d'Edith Piaf beaucoup de gens natifs de Paris roulaient les "r", même au tout début du 20ème siècle : c'est plutôt quelque chose qu'on trouvait dans la chanson ou chez certaines personnes originaires d'autres régions ou d'autres pays (Italie, Pologne...) mais pas dans le langage parisien de tous les jours. Je me souviens de mes grands-parents et arrière-grands parents, dont un grand-père maternel qui était un parfait "titi parisien" ; ils ne roulaient pas les "r" mais avaient d'autres particularités de langage, les voyelles étaient traînantes, dans mon souvenir cela ressemblait plutôt à la façon de parler d'un Jean Gabin...
Voici comment parlait Gabin, né à Paris en 1904 :
th-cam.com/video/wPZnroS1jRE/w-d-xo.html
Et le plus vieil enregistrement connu d'accent parisien (1912) ne montre pas davantage de "r" roulé :
th-cam.com/video/amPtXEaXQO0/w-d-xo.html
Par contre, dans la chanson, les "r" étaient souvent roulés ; était-ce une mode, ou un phénomène lié à la présence à Paris de nombreux habitants originaires d'autres régions de France, d'Italie ou d'ailleurs ? C'est une hypothèse. En tout cas, Edith Piaf est née à Paris d'un père Normand et... d'une mère italienne. Le deuxième prénom d'Edith était Giovanna ! Son vrai nom était Edith Giovanna Gassion.
Dans "La java bleue" (1938-39), Fréhel (née à Paris de parents Bretons) roulait les "r" :
th-cam.com/video/8uUL8Yb5F-E/w-d-xo.html
Dans "J'attendrai" (1938, bien avant la version de Dalida), Rina Ketty (née en Italie) roulait déjà les "r" :
th-cam.com/video/PCDZEG7HvD0/w-d-xo.html
Dans "Tchi tchi (o catarinetta bella) de 1938, Tino Rossi roule les "r", mais il était de Corse :
th-cam.com/video/KSThLbVgV14/w-d-xo.html
Dans "Ah ! Le petit vin blanc !", qui date de 1943, Lina Margy (née en Corrèze) roulait les "r", et elle le faisait encore dans cette version bien plus tardive de 1964 :
th-cam.com/video/IDmPxv3hUaI/w-d-xo.html
Mais en 1968, dans une chanson au style typiquement ancien, "Riquita", Georgette Plana (pourtant née à Agen) ne roule déjà plus les "r" car ce n'est plus la mode :
th-cam.com/video/_kf_Nthg6YA/w-d-xo.html
Le plus drôle : dans cette chanson, "Que reste-t-il de nos amours ?", Charles Trenet qui était Parisien d'adoption né à Narbonne (région où l'on roulait les "r") semble avoir bien du mal à choisir entre le "r" roulé et le "r" non roulé... Vous pouvez vous amuser à les compter !
th-cam.com/video/T_uvgm2_hRk/w-d-xo.html
Finalement, le fait de rouler les "r" ressemble à une sorte de tradition due à l'origine variée des chanteurs, ce qui est la conséquence du fait que Paris a toujours été une ville d'immigration, pour le plus grand bonheur de la chanson.
Il s'agit plutôt de R grasseyés plutôt que roulés. Une tradition de cabaret. Si on écoute attentivement parfois il y a des ratés. On accentuait les E finaux aussi, bien commode pour les rimes parfois 😊
la foule, derek, absolutely. piaf goes in trance! (live on youtube). too impressive!!!
Beautiful! A classic.

Edith Piaf et Jacques Brel, two legendary singers.
2 interprètes hors pairs .

thx dereck, Edith is Edith, incredible Edith
Aaaaaah ❤️🙌🙌 j'aime bien moi Édith Piaf
She was amazing but the live versions are even better.
Adorable petit bout de femme Édith ! ❤❤
"Mon amoureux" (my lover) by Edith Piaf! amazing emotional song, one of my favorite!
Now you have to do it with « l’hymne à l’amour »!!!! And you have to understand what she said… this is the most beautiful song about love around the world! You can’t stay indifferent , this song is still very much listened today. This is perfect!
PIAF, the amazing and powerful Voice coming out of a beautiful lady of 4'9" tall.
L'accordéoniste ♥️
Instrument de musique c l orgue de. Barbarie ..George moustaki french singer ...song avec.... le meteque .ma liberte .la dame brune .
LIVE "Milord" on the Ed Sullivan Show AMAZING BANANASSSSSS
Song has many covers notably Dalida. Also done by Bobby Darin, by Liza Minelli and by Cher
The quick paced is her talking to milord and the more quiet pace is her talking to herself.
nice Dereck !
you should look for Serge Gainsbourg, le poinconneur des lilas.
AT the end i knew lol
I have no idea what she's saying- but what a great voice!! Wow!!!
Rolling the R's was a sign of the times in old French-Chanson-style. If you want to hear more R's rolled, I suggest you listen to Charles Aznavour (Namely: "La Bohème", "For me Formidable", "Emmenez-moi" amongst many others).
Édith Piaf - L'hymne à L'Amour (1950),
The most beautiful love song of all time. You should react to Celine Dion's live version at the 2015 American Music Awards after the Paris attacks ... very moving.
She was never remotely upper class or with a classy accent, to put it politely, but will live in her fans minds for ever.
Those delightful old French songs...you should try Barbara's song like "A peine". They are exceptional.
THERE is a great movie about her ! :D
"L'Hymne à l'Amour"
Hi Dereck ! Since the time that you listen to French songs, you'll have to start learning French ;)
belle analyse
I know people always say in the comments "This person is a legend" but... Edith Piaf is a legend amongst the legends. You can only admire her and her talent. She had an horrible life, actually, you should definitely watch the movie about her, "La Vie en Rose", it's great.
The rolling is the parisian's accent
Absolutely not
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
How to sell a song! I suggest the really wonderful, but now almost forgotten "C'est l'Amour". It is on youtube, but not a live performance, which I would have loved to see.
La amo la adoro es edit
May I ask a very, very personal question?
French language use to roll the r in the past. The modern pronounciation that many people think to be qui tessentially french is actually quite recent. In many country sides r were rolled until WW2
1959 c'est quand je suis née, cool
Her accent is typically from Paris in 1950/60, another woman, actress, Arletty , had this accent...
Listen JE NE REGRETTE RIEN it’s a song very beautiful of EDITH PIAF
Edith Piaff a chanté beaucoup d'autres chansons telles que "La foule", "Padam, padam"... Elle a été l'une des plus grandes interprètes de "Sous les ponts de Paris" et il est intéressant de voir comment une chanteuse d'aujourd'hui, Zaz, a été capable de reprendre cette chanson avec une instrumentation moderne (et une très jolie vidéo) et à quel point le résultat est une réussite !

She was one of the greatest singers for the song "Sous les ponts de Paris" ("Under Paris bridges) and it's interesting to see how an actual singer, Zaz, could make a cover song with modern instrumentation (and a very pretty video) and how the result is a success !

Yo, if you like haw she rolls the "r" and the old French music, react to "Mon amant de Saint-Jean" de Julienne Delyle. French people was actually rolling "r" in a not so long time (my great-oncle has this accent so it's not this old).
How do I understand this song, it's a girl of nothing, not a subpackage, (maybe even she's prostitute, it's a personal interpretation) ... Him, Milord is rich it's not someone one who is interested in her; He preferring much more classy women, he has the way of his social class, proud of his money, clothes of great fashion designer and disdainful towards the little people, in fact the poor he does not see them.
Except that today, in spite of his "lifestyle" wealth is unfortunate, the rich woman who struts on his arm yesterday, leave her as a miserable.
And this girl seeing her sentence/"pain" , while making him morality is it for comforting, she is very rich in good feeling than her fortune. .
Comment je comprend cette chanson , c'est une fille de rien , pas un sous en poche , (peut être même elle est prostituée , c'est une interprétation toute personnelle) ... Lui, milord est riche c'est pas quelqu'un qui s'intéresse a elle ; lui préférant des femmes bien plus classieuse , il a les manière de sa classe sociale , fier de son argent , des habits de grand couturier et dédaigneux envers les petites gens , en fait les pauvres il ne les voit pas .
Sauf qu'aujourd'hui malgré sa richesse "Milord" est malheureux , la femme riche qui se pavanait a son bras , hier , la quitter comme un misérable .
Et cette fille de rien voyant sa peine , tout en lui faisant la morale est la pour le réconforté , elle la fille de de rien est bien plus riche de bon sentiment que de sa fortune .
Who thinks Dereck could/should also react to ZAZ.
She did a Edith Piaf cover with "Dans ma rue" (hard stuff!), but I'd rather go for a happier "Je veux" (th-cam.com/video/0TFNGRYMz1U/w-d-xo.html)
Si tu tourne de 90° ZAZ ca fait NAN, et je trouve ca parfait ! ;)
The eternal queen of France
Oh yes, react to Tammy... The forever country queen
merci
Yes, you should react to Tammy wynette😍
The First Lady of country music 😙
Mikis Theodorakis died today. Among many things he made, he composed the music of that song of Édith Piaf: Les amants de Teruel. Her voice in that song is amazing.

Close to Edith Piaf is Diane Dufresne's song : Oxygène
" A quoi ça sert l amour "
Her "r" are not rolled but still glottal like in regular spoken French, just more pronounced. Other singers who did that as part of their vocal style were Jacques Brel and Mireille Mathieu.
Lyrics of the song are written by the great Georges Moustaki
Am I crazy or Liza Minelli sings a version english/german of this song in "Cabaret"?
Nope.....
Edith was the best singer in her time.
Meilleure de tout les temps. Avec Charles Aznavour
But her time is long gone.
Jack brel aussi roulait les r
I see a lot of glorifications here, but let me clarify a few things. She wasn't the great singer everyone claims she was. For example, during her career, she sold very few CDs !
(just kidding :*) )
Des CD's en pierre! ;-)
Salut,essaie Diane Dufres ne et aussi Marjo du groupe Corbeau...
She only succeeded in cheering the man up, and she's happy go have made him happy for a moment. But her love is hopeless.
If you listen to: "Mireille Mathieu singing La Marseillaise (with lyrics)" th-cam.com/video/SIxOl1EraXA/w-d-xo.html (L'hymne national de la France) she almost do the same. It's not to react, just to watch (incredible! Read the comments under the video too, there's more reactions from people around the world than from French people).
But Edith Piaf is a legend, she made so many people cry all around the Earth just by listening to her. "La Foule" (The crowd) and "Milord" are my favorites.

You should listen to Mireille Matthieu. She rolls the "r", too. She's French, but she also was singing many songs in German language where she was very popular. I always loved her accent when I listened to her singing in my native language.
Les trois cloches. D’edith piaf
Ca en fait 4 alors ? :P
(en comptant Piaf)
En fait c'est les compagnons de la chansons qui font tout le job sur cette chanson.
@@samueldevulder Vous devenez condescendant voire insultant même si je l'avoue c'était bien trouvé. Pauvre Claudine, quand elle découvrira votre post.
@@TomTom-p9g Ah je me suis trompé la 4e c'est pas Piaf, mais vous. Je pensais pas qu'on pouvait manquer autant d'humour et de second degré en choisissant un pseudo pareil.
@@samueldevulder effectivement je n'avais pas vu la fin du message.
Tu a tout à fait raison je n' ai aucun humour et ne parlons même pas du second degré. quant à l'autoderision il est inexistant. 😉
