This song has four POV: Three verses are from the perspective of a client, a pimp and a police officer. All three men are dehumanizing the sex worker in question, and only her son (chorus) sees her as a human being and a role model.
As Stromae says in his interviews, there's only one POV missing: the one from the sex worker. No one never asks for her POV...By the way, in the second verse the one talking is a woman not a man. He got the inspiration for this video when he was watching a TV program about the children of sex workers
Please react to "Papaoutai", "Santé", "L'Enfer", "Formidable" and "Alors on dance". Stromae is a genius with such intricate yet catchy music with deep lyrics and amazing music videos.
I once read in a comment that Stromae is the ideal that Kanye believes he is, and I have never heard a more accurate representation of Stromae as a creative genius.
Stromae captured me with the sound of "Sante" on his live performance on Jimmy Fallon. Went to watch the official video and was blown away by the meaning. Instant fan. Musical genius with meaning. The world needs more Stromae
The Belgian National Orchestra, leaded by Dirk Brossé, provided quite a lot of music input for his songs in this album. Stromae wanted to use more original sounds (from real instruments) in his songs. This was filmed in Brussels, at one of the big places (Parc Cinquantenaire), of course digitally modified. And you're right, sublime song. Greetings from Belgium.
Stromae is literally Maestro, he composes and writes and produces all of his music I’m absolutely in awe of him you need to listen to so much more of his music, l’enfer, sante, alors on dance, formidable, papaoutai… you will not regret it
The beat is brazillian funk (I'm brazillian) and he talked on his first performance of "l'enfer" that this album had some influences from the baile funk of Brazil. It's a genre that was considered a bad taste and even prohibited (unfortunately some people still think this, but guess what, this reflects on racism because brazillian funk has roots in black culture), but after decades these genre became more popular and today is one of our biggest details of our culture here. Stromae did a great job with this genre and mixing with classical music. Brazillian artists already did that here, but by doing that he shows how deep he studied this genre to fit in the best way on "Multitude". And by the way, great reaction, keep going! ❤

Queria que mais gente soubesse disso, ou que o próprio Stromae mencionasse em algum lugar
Really liked how he used Brazilian funk in some songs and Andean folk in others. Highlighted a lot of our diversity in Latin American music aside from the usual urban/reggaeton that tends to be more prominent
It is one of the greatest production of stromae for the creation of a Clip. There were over 500 extras who volunteered. The video was shot in the Cinquentenaire of Brussels. This shoot took place in January.
This artist does MORE than just this type of thing! You definitely need to hear from him more, sir! Like "Santé", "L'Enfer", "Papaoutai", "Formidable", "Alors on dance"
I would disagree. Watch the episode where Stromae explain all the songs from the album, both musically and the lyrics. This song was inspired by a conversation that Stromae saw, with a son of a sex worker, where he was shocked by the attitude people had towards the kids of sex workers.
@@Yannnoocchh of course, the difference is that until now, prostitution was tolerated in Belgium. Now sex workers receive a status and can have holidays, a pension, health benefits, etc, as any person who works and pays taxes.They have legal rights.
Topping his previous BRILLIANT album is just an amazing artistic achievement. He has always tackled difficult subjects in his songs and has an incredible visual style. These songs are so layered and complex lyrically that the deceptive simplicity of the music in front makes it a challenge for me to immediately get it. The previous album was really accessible and could give you more depth if you wanted it to. I feel he has traded some accessibility (less mainstream) to provide more poetic and intellectual content. I love it, and I am currently listening to his entire new album. So grateful he has been able to get back in the music game and produce ART!
Yasss. Stromae is one of the best artists out there right now and is back with more bangers. This song and video specifically, reminds me of one of his previous album's song called "ta fête" you should check that out if you liked this one.
Stromae is one of the most talented Artists in the world! Stromae is not a musician or a singer, he represents what it means to be an Artist, an artist on every level! i'm hoping this will be a journey, like the System of a Down journey, or the Harry Mack journey! I assure you, youre going to love every single song hes made! and Yes, he produces his own music! And Stro'mae comes from Mae'stro : "Formidable, Alors on Danse, Papaoutai, Tous les mêmes, Quand c'est, Ta Fête, Santé, L'enfer, Te Quiero... " start with these, we'll provide more later! :)
This artists is and has been making great music for a long time, he had a great run back in 2013 with big hits like"formidable","papaoutai", and ofc "alors on dance" after this he just vanished for couple of years,took a social media break and we basically didn't have any idea where he was, in ast years he showed up after 5 years missing explaining that he had some identity issues and struggled with fame, in that period he was touring and performing a lot and he had to take a break from all of that, so this was a highly anticipated album and return and he didn't disappoint.please react to his early work and his new album.
yes, the sample he took with his phone... from the tv... played it back a few times and used what he had. u don't have to be fancy, u just have to make it work 🤣
Stromae is hero. Has the capability to make hard topics beautiful to listen to and get across a message to think about. Best! And there is even more if this is your first encounter. Racine Carré on repeat
Stormae does normaly mix a crap ton of styles with good taste, totaly recomemded. The first hit that he had was "alors danse", after that you can give a watch to "tout les memes", quand'cest, sante, l'enfer... Most of his stuff is fire 🔥🔥🔥.
Another deep artist is Kery James his "Lettra a la Republique" was my first introduction to him with "Formidable" and "Papaoutai" for Stromae as my intro. I'd love to see your reactions to all 3!
Fils de Joie (pronounced Feece Dah Jwah) means son of joy, i.e. play on words for son of a sex worker, basically someone who gives joy... ;) Love the harpsichord start as well. As for CGI, only in part as the place is real, Parc du Cinquantenaire in Brussels. The arches and all are real but the 2 art deco statues are not real. The people are real and there's a controversy here in Belgium as the production company used a cheap company who hired the extras. They were paid (from the article I read) about 150 euro for the week in freezing conditions (filmed in January 2022) and catering was not there, they were served waffles as a snack for standing in the cold all day. As for the voices, it's in the person of the son, the pimp and a policeman. He's back from an 8 year break. The guy is a genius and a true singer-songwriter, musician. He reminds me of a mix of Pierre Lapointe (Canadian singer-songwriter) Jacques Brel (Was a Belgian true mega star in his time); both of these are true story tellers and mixed with rap and world harmonies, Stromae is a real story teller and a great musician. Please search more about him on the internet, interviews and all. Try L'Enfer as well as Papaoutai. And Alors on Danse, Formidable... too many to mention. Enjoy
I see many people agreeing with Stromae being a genious... Fils de joie was the first song of his that captured me... and upon finding out more I realized I have heard Alors on dance and Papaoutai before, but haven't really paid attention. One of my personal favorites is Ave Cesaria (a tribute to Cesaria Evora), and my daughter really likes Carmen (about the dangerous of Twitter)... but my wife is probably the biggest fan - cannot decide on a favorite, too many of them. I'm so happy you did this reaction and I think you should do more of this (but I realize it's not as popular as reactions to songs in English)... so maybe you should do Peace or Violance by Stromae next?
Stromae is amazing. I just discovered him last year. Someone below suggested some good ones to react to. Two more are Tous les Memes and quand c’est? videos. I second Papaoutai too.
only the top of the triumph arches is added with CGI and the huge statue is CGI. The building it was shot at is at the Jubelpark in Brussels, by the National Royal Military Museum of Belgium.
Stromae is not french, he's belgium but he's speak french (in a part of Belgium). His name is the reverse of Maestro. Don't forget to put the subtitles , it's available. Plz react to the Two new song of Stromae a belgium speaking french (With english subtitles for both) : - Santé (About make a salute to people with hard work and "invisible" in society) th-cam.com/video/P3QS83ubhHE/w-d-xo.html - L'enfer (About Mental health) : th-cam.com/video/DO8NSL5Wyeg/w-d-xo.html - Stromae - quand c'est ? (About Cancer and there is a play on word with "Quand c'est" and "Cancer") : th-cam.com/video/8aJw4chksqM/w-d-xo.html Edit : Here an interview about the song "Fils de joie" , Stromae - Fils de joie (Multitude ı Track by Track) : th-cam.com/video/cgL1YXw4ENI/w-d-xo.html
The song is about the son of a prostitute, and the way people saw her. Stromae saw a documentary about children's prostitutes and the way people talk to them. He didn't defend prostitution, just talk about people hypocrisy and talk about their pimps. He said that those women are heroes and people just judge them and their children. The video clip was made in Belgium with its army and dancers. The most expensive show he has ever made. And it's a national funeral for those women who some people need but don't recognize them as part of the society. He always gives voice to those who haven't got one. Look at the meaning of Santé, déclaration, riez etc
I loved your Weird Al reactions, so glad you did Stromae now. Please do his other songs, especially L'enfer and Tous les Memes. Stromae is profoundly talented, just an artistic genius, next level stuff. Please do more reactions!
Comment on title: "fils de joie" means, word for word, 'son of joy', which sounds very similar to the expression 'daughter/girl of joy' (which is an oldish way of calling prostitutes). But the mother does get called a hero in the song so it makes sense to translate it as 'son of a hero', especially since the meaning would be lost on English speakers if a literal translation was used
No CJI, we are in Belgium, the people was invited to participate at his clip in Brussels where that monument exist, no need to pay for this, the fact is that as a verry smal country, we always suport somebody who make us shyne in the world, that's also the reason why we correcting people who think he's from France 🙃
This isn’t France. It’s Belgium. And the video was shot in the park called “Jubelpark”, Brussels (built back in 1880 with the bloody money from the king Leopold Il’s colonial private land Congo, by exploiting, torturing in systematic brutality, mutilating, and killing native population by forced labour). Indeed CGI is used to replicating people and add monumental sculptures. The scene is outside the Royal Museum of Armed Forces and Military History building (which is in the park).
I found stromae back in 2014 when I took French for that year. There were three that I like and recommend you to react to: -Tous les mêmes -Papaoutai -Formidable Edit - I shall add this song as my fourth from him
I love your reaction! Stromae loves to shake up minds, to denounce, to talk about harsh things with cheerful music. He likes to tell stories and put himself in the different characters. Here he interprets the deceased woman, the son, the client, the passerby, the pimp... in a single song. The title is a joke : "Fille de joie" is an old French term for "prostitute". "Fils de pute » (Son of a bitch) is an insult.
It is amazing that I was planning to recommend to you to give a listen to Stromae today itself, but somebody beat me to that, which is great. Thank you for your thoughts on the song. There is a channel (Professor Skye's Record Review) that might answer some of your questions with regard to the lyrics of some of Stromae's songs. The gentleman whose channel that is is a professor of French and a big fan of Stromae. I also hope you dive deeper into Stromae's songs. Some of my favorites are Papaoutai, Carmen, Sante, L'enfer, Pas vraiment.
500 extras were used for this video. It’s not CGI. I realize it’s your first time watching it but making such declarations should be avoided. It’s directed by Henry Scholfield.
Stromae is French Pig Latin (Verlan) for "Maestro" which he is. Please pronounce his name " Stro My" and continue reacting as deeply as the songs, You really grasped a lot of it , The first part is from the point of view of the John , her best customer. He's not against "a little tenderness' but for money he can "insult her,:" The son replies defending his mother against the brutality of a client's abuse. Abused by the John, exploited by the pimp, trashed by the cop, the fils defends his mother by making her a hero.
But the artist himself doesn't care 🤷♂️. When crossing the borders, you will have different pronunciations... Even with the same language. In Bruxelles, they pronounce mystro, so Stromy ; whereas in France, they pronounce ma-e-stro so Stroma-e. 🤷♀️ His music matters way more to him than the way we pronounce his name 🙂.
This song has four POV:
Three verses are from the perspective of a client, a pimp and a police officer. All three men are dehumanizing the sex worker in question, and only her son (chorus) sees her as a human being and a role model.
I don't think the police officer is one of her clients, he just knows she's a sex worker and therefore doesn't respect her
As Stromae says in his interviews, there's only one POV missing: the one from the sex worker. No one never asks for her POV...By the way, in the second verse the one talking is a woman not a man. He got the inspiration for this video when he was watching a TV program about the children of sex workers
The sex workers POV is present in her silence and her place in a casket. Truly the only person responsible for her dehumanization is herself.
@@ndessse genius storytelling from stromae
Please react to "Papaoutai", "Santé", "L'Enfer", "Formidable" and "Alors on dance". Stromae is a genius with such intricate yet catchy music with deep lyrics and amazing music videos.
Stromae is the best
I think we all agree
Papaoutai goes dumb hard, so proud to be Belgian when I show people Stromae.
Yeah, ...
And also “Summertime” from his “Cheese” album.
Just adding Tous Les Memes, one of my favorites from him
I once read in a comment that Stromae is the ideal that Kanye believes he is, and I have never heard a more accurate representation of Stromae as a creative genius.
yes ! omg yes !
lmaooo the shade but it's true
Yes
He has been MIA for awhile. This is one of the strongest comebacks I've witnessed.
Oh dude u must’ve missed Sante, that was his comeback
Stromae captured me with the sound of "Sante" on his live performance on Jimmy Fallon. Went to watch the official video and was blown away by the meaning. Instant fan. Musical genius with meaning. The world needs more Stromae
Damn, even Steve Austin liked it

Queria que mais gente soubesse disso, ou que o próprio Stromae mencionasse em algum lugar
@ o Stromae fez uma análise "track by track" no canal dele, e em "Fils de joie" e "Mon amour" ele diz ter usado batida do funk brasileiro.
@@caiofonteneles9300 Massa dmais então
@ He mentioned that in one of his interviews. He was influenced by different beats including Brazilian funk.
Really liked how he used Brazilian funk in some songs and Andean folk in others. Highlighted a lot of our diversity in Latin American music aside from the usual urban/reggaeton that tends to be more prominent

Like "Santé", "L'Enfer", "Papaoutai", "Formidable", "Alors on dance"
Stromae is from Belgium, a country that just legalised sexwork. This song is launched to celebrate that fact.
Just in time for the new economic crisis)))
I would disagree. Watch the episode where Stromae explain all the songs from the album, both musically and the lyrics. This song was inspired by a conversation that Stromae saw, with a son of a sex worker, where he was shocked by the attitude people had towards the kids of sex workers.

Thx for reacting 🎤🎶💜
"alors on dance" was across all European night clubs for a long time. He's just amazing.
his whole album is a gem!
This album is my life right now!!

It is Stromae the genious doing it all - writing, singing, conceptualizing the artful videos, as well as the orchestra. He is insanely talented.
yes, the sample he took with his phone... from the tv... played it back a few times and used what he had. u don't have to be fancy, u just have to make it work 🤣
this is not cgi, hundreds of people in Brussels stood in the cold for hours for this haha
He composes, writes, designs his costumes, choreograhies, etc.... he's a really well rounded artist
It is not CGI, it was a massive casting.
Stromae is hero. Has the capability to make hard topics beautiful to listen to and get across a message to think about. Best! And there is even more if this is your first encounter. Racine Carré on repeat

Do more Stromae not only for your own good but to spread the genius which is Stromae - worth noting that his videos have english subs too under cc

Stromae is one of the best artist of all time
absolute masterwork!
Stromae is not french, he's belgium but he's speak french (in a part of Belgium). His name is the reverse of Maestro. Don't forget to put the subtitles , it's available.
Plz react to the Two new song of Stromae a belgium speaking french (With english subtitles for both) :
- Santé (About make a salute to people with hard work and "invisible" in society) th-cam.com/video/P3QS83ubhHE/w-d-xo.html

Stromae is from Belgium and his name resembles maestro...
Magnífico como siempre el MAESTRO
I would love to see you react to Quand C'est by Stromae. Amazing song but also one of the most profound music videos that I have seen In a while.
Detail: he rolls some of his 'r's, which is something he doesn't typically do in his other songs - as such it sounds especially fancy and posh
That's an awesome & Amazing One, ...
you should definitely react to his interview at the French news
This song is absolute greatness. 🥳 thanks for the reaction. Pls do more Stromae.
Could u believe that this’s mv just 5% of it is cgi the rest is real !!
Stromae is a wonderful musician. You need to react to more of his music, like Formidable. Your new Kenyan fan.
If this was your first time watching Stromae, you're in for a treat my friend 🙂😀😃
Alors on Dance. That's what I want you to watch.
The song is about the son of a prostitute, and the way people saw her. Stromae saw a documentary about children's prostitutes and the way people talk to them. He didn't defend prostitution, just talk about people hypocrisy and talk about their pimps. He said that those women are heroes and people just judge them and their children. The video clip was made in Belgium with its army and dancers. The most expensive show he has ever made. And it's a national funeral for those women who some people need but don't recognize them as part of the society. He always gives voice to those who haven't got one. Look at the meaning of Santé, déclaration, riez etc
Listen to literally every single song of his. Belgium for live
Stromae is from Belgium 🇧🇪 not France 🇨🇵 He has even said it in concerts 😉
Totally LOVE your content! Keep up the good work! Congrats at close to 500,000!!!! Getting close! Welcome to Stromae!
I loved your Weird Al reactions, so glad you did Stromae now. Please do his other songs, especially L'enfer and Tous les Memes. Stromae is profoundly talented, just an artistic genius, next level stuff. Please do more reactions!

Definitely Formidable, Papaoutai and the other one Tous les Memes are must listens from Stromae!!!!!!!
SUPER VIDÉO CONTINUE COMME ÇA 👍👏👏 STROMAE MASTERCLASS
Would love to see you react to Papaoutai by Stromae as well! He's a huge artist in French Belgium and France (and a bit in French Canada as well)
Great review, you're very insightful.
No CJI, we are in Belgium, the people was invited to participate at his clip in Brussels where that monument exist, no need to pay for this, the fact is that as a verry smal country, we always suport somebody who make us shyne in the world, that's also the reason why we correcting people who think he's from France 🙃
He shot the video at the Brussels museum of history, the main structure is real but he used CGI I change so thing, but the building is real 🤗
This isn’t France. It’s Belgium. And the video was shot in the park called “Jubelpark”, Brussels (built back in 1880 with the bloody money from the king Leopold Il’s colonial private land Congo, by exploiting, torturing in systematic brutality, mutilating, and killing native population by forced labour). Indeed CGI is used to replicating people and add monumental sculptures. The scene is outside the Royal Museum of Armed Forces and Military History building (which is in the park).
I feel like this song hits different if you know french like it's so much better when you're not using the translation idk maybe it's jus me
hi ! juste so you know, i wasn't cgi. i've sceen an interview of him and he said more than 500 extras !
The beat is from Brazilian funk.
I found stromae back in 2014 when I took French for that year. There were three that I like and recommend you to react to:
-Tous les mêmes
-Papaoutai
-Formidable
Edit - I shall add this song as my fourth from him
I recommend his concert in montral from 2015 available on his YT channel masterpiece
Fils de joie is actually a word play with fille de joie, which means prostitute.
This song is Inspiring by Brazilian Funk
Hope to see the remaining stereotype songs
I thought he sang about France as a former Imperial country and the song was about France's international and internal politics.It's allegorical.
Hello this takes place in Belgium, never in the real life, but the budget what's gigantic anyway
Stromae does all by himself
500 extras
I love your reaction! Stromae loves to shake up minds, to denounce, to talk about harsh things with cheerful music. He likes to tell stories and put himself in the different characters. Here he interprets the deceased woman, the son, the client, the passerby, the pimp... in a single song. The title is a joke : "Fille de joie" is an old French term for "prostitute". "Fils de pute » (Son of a bitch) is an insult.
Belgium we are Belgium where we speak French Nederland and German.....Stromae is the reverse word for Maestro .... please France is not Belgium.
It is amazing that I was planning to recommend to you to give a listen to Stromae today itself, but somebody beat me to that, which is great. Thank you for your thoughts on the song. There is a channel (Professor Skye's Record Review) that might answer some of your questions with regard to the lyrics of some of Stromae's songs. The gentleman whose channel that is is a professor of French and a big fan of Stromae. I also hope you dive deeper into Stromae's songs. Some of my favorites are Papaoutai, Carmen, Sante, L'enfer, Pas vraiment.
How are you reacting to stromae without the subtitle !?? his words are much more stronger bruh believe it!!
Brazilian beat man! No doubt!
DID you know that if you reverse “stromae” it is actually “maestro”?
L'enfer , papatoutai Sante sommei
The vidéo was filmed in Brussels parc du Centenaire .
Waouhhhhh
Tous les memed from him is a video where he speaks from botb woman and male pov. But you can see it in video
Not much cgi !
Belgium...just belgium. A small, French speaking European country 😉
where the hell is your "Papaoutai" reaction!?! nearly a billion views no enough? it's gonna shake you and your audience to their core
500 extras were used for this video. It’s not CGI. I realize it’s your first time watching it but making such declarations should be avoided. It’s directed by Henry Scholfield.
AhAhAh !!!!🤣🤣🤣 Where is the original video? transparency 90%
Please do Santé by Stromae Next!!!!
If you like french, i would love you to react to Yelle
this isn't afro beat as lon i'm concerned, this brazillian funk, which has influenced stromae for a quite some time now.
Great video ! Do you speak french ? This song is difficult for a no French native speaker.
React to Quand C'est by him, please!
Stromae is French Pig Latin (Verlan) for "Maestro" which he is. Please pronounce his name " Stro My" and continue reacting as deeply as the songs, You really grasped a lot of it , The first part is from the point of view of the John , her best customer. He's not against "a little tenderness' but for money he can "insult her,:" The son replies defending his mother against the brutality of a client's abuse. Abused by the John, exploited by the pimp, trashed by the cop, the fils defends his mother by making her a hero.
But the artist himself doesn't care 🤷♂️. When crossing the borders, you will have different pronunciations... Even with the same language.
In Bruxelles, they pronounce mystro, so Stromy ; whereas in France, they pronounce ma-e-stro so Stroma-e. 🤷♀️
His music matters way more to him than the way we pronounce his name 🙂.
Also check my drill remix of this song!!!
He's Stromae, he has not budget
