I am trying to teach myself french at the moment, and one of my favourite ways is listening to song lyrics and translating them, so I like to feel I am getting to know what some of the words mean and appreciating his art XD
Well there are plenty ways to get the translation on the internet. I dont speak french. I used to have one year at school only, sometimes I find it funny to sing it along, even I can't remember the meaning of every single word, but it's doable :D
Thadius Sales I think at this point it's just engrained in the song for him. I know a few artists who can't sing their songs without also playing their instruments. Studios hate them because they refuse to record the vocals separate from the guitar.
he also tends to do very feminine movements in tous les memes, which is awesome! it goes along with his half male/half female persona he adopts in that song
Probably learned that (subconsciously) from a fellow Belgian Jacques Brel. Just three random examples: th-cam.com/video/Vz6r0TP4FBI/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/Cjj3YQD1_GE/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/dCHi5apc1lQ/w-d-xo.html
At 17:13, one of his musicians playing Formidable's chords just made a mistake on one chord, Stromae looked at him like wtf then he was just " yeah who care it's all cool " and just smiled. That's, gentleman, is a great solo artist who totally respect his musicians.
he never sleeps on that m8 he stated in a previous interview that what he tries to portray in his music is emotion so his performance as a whole is a part of that!
I want to learn French just to get a better picture of Stromae. He’s such a wonderful performer and song writer. He’s far ahead of everyone else. I wish we had more artists like him
Hard to understand Stromae for the students of french language. HI plays with words and with french expressions of street culture, which will be not understanding by somebody who speak french very good, but never live in France.
With Stromae’s incredible return launched this past week, I am scouring the internet for any and all content to remind me, to move me, to transport me, to where only his amazing and unique talent can. Bravo cher Stromae!
Yeah same, I just discovered this video so nice to see what Americans thinks of him. I’m trying to see the English world view of this artist singing in French
I get it! Me too, & so many of my friends don’t even know who he is.We live in NOLA, so folks are kinda sucked into NOLA music. Which isn’t bad, but,c'mon! Dude sings in French, most people here have @least a bit of French from their grandparents. Why he hasn’t blown up here is puzzling, he's African,Belgian, a citizen of the world.
As a native portuguese speaker, it just melts my heart to hear him sing "sodade di nha cesaria" in Cape Verdean creole by the end of ave cesaria 11:15, meaning something like "I miss Miss cesaria". It's very close to portuguese "saudade da Senhora cesaria" Such a beautiful song!
weir thing I've "known" this artist for 5 years amd never found him adorable until I saw this live session. they way he talks and his mimic just shows what a positive and endearing person he is. honestlg gained so much respect for this man, don't even care if he is married lol he rocks
What a great video. I really liked the interviewer, he was really good because I can tell he made stromae very comfortable. Stromae is freakin adorable.
“Not usually English speaking radio”, “I’m sorry for my English” - he is very humble, his English is practically perfect, fluent at least. Maybe a little bit of french accent can be heard but comprehensive vocabulary compensates for that :) The music is absolutely fantastic or “ridiculously amazingly good”. Great job mate.
As french, I feel honored that KEXP has invited such a wonderful African-Belgian-francophone artiste. I just only hope that people touched by Stromae (out of the showbiz industry today and Fashion designer entrepreneur now) will try to understand not only the lyrics of his songs, but also his own story through his songs as being borned in Rwanda in Africa at the time of the genocide. Thank you very very much KEXP.
Avant son concert en 2015, il n'a mis les pieds au Rwanda qu'une fois, à l'âge de 5 ans. Il a à peine connu son père. Il est né en Belgique, a été élevé en Belgique par une mère belge. Mais le mythe perdure 🤷🏼♂️. Même le présentateur tient à ce qu'il "vienne d'ailleurs". 😕 Il n'y a guère plus bruxellois, belge et européen que Stromae. (Le reste ce sont des mythes, des fantasmes et des projections.) Bien sûr, il n'en est pas moins très imprégné d'Afrique. 🙂🌍
The host really makes that calm atmosphere, it works very nice with how minimalistic Stromae and his team did the songs. A pity about the small misconception that Stromae "is not from Belgium", but they cleared it out in a friendly way :P He convinced Flanders to listen to his music, USA should be a piece of cake

My all-time favourite pop artist. Makes me tear up in a language I do not understand. And in a pop song! You can dance to it in a club and crying to it at home. Truly amazing, I only wish he will come back and make a third album, even in 10 years I will be here waiting.

With the release of L’enfer he could totally have a number one. Such an incredible song. I wish I could see him perform live..until then I’m grateful for any of this.
Innocent and humble, they way he misunderstands the questions is just simply endearing. Beautiful creature, his talent goes way beyond any reality. The color and tone of his voice is balsam to the soul. Thank you for your music, Stromae. 🖤
I'm very amazed by everyone: Stromae, his backvocals/piano players and radio host. They are all very polite and respect each other so much. And radio host looks like he really knows worth of Stromae. I won't say that it's rare, but I haven't seen something like this for so long. Stromae - definition of authenticity
Holy hell this man is attractive. His voice is so amazing. And he looks like a huge nerd and I love that! I really hope he doesn’t ever try to conform to what people want from him. ESPECIALLY Americans. They will ruin him like everyone else. His original style is perfect.
It's amazing how his influences are from latin america, he make music in french and he is noticing even on the english world, it's like a big mix of cultures, such a multi cultural music! he is a genius I admire him so much and he is so adorable!
Every single performance he does, he gets completely into the character and story. You can tell he is really passionate about his work and I love that about Stromae.
It's an amazing thing about music and delivering it to an audience when you don't know the language, but you feel it. Incredibly talented and original. Unlike anyone else. Respect and love from Russia
For those who understands french it's amazing. The work of words, the twist with sounds it's crazy. I still love and listen to that music 3years after😃😃
I love the way he talks about his ethnicity, he's proud of all of it but he was born and raised in Belgium so of course he'd see himself more as Belgian. This is something that I struggled with myself and I love his explanation
The poet, the voice of his generation. We're still to see his peak, he is just getting started. Genius. Thank you for this video. Just big, heartfelt thanks.
yababyabby Hate to correct a correction of a correction on a 3-year-old TH-cam comment, but “helps” is indeed correct, as “listening to his songs” in this sentence is effectively a singular noun.
@@itstant you are a man, right? I'm sure you woulnd''t know Blessed Soul's or Abby's mother tongue, you can only understand because they did you the favour of writing in English.
He is so fucking special!!! Influenced by Cesaria Evora and Buena Vista 😍😍 I can't believe that only yesterday I got to know the existence of this diamond!!
Stromae, maestro.I'm glad you're back. After a year of work interruption, you make me want to teach young people like you again. Brilliant, floating between cultures. Show them the way to make something beautiful out of it.
Thats beautiful man we need people like you🙏🏼 there is perhaps a new stromae out there but without the right guidance he might give up or do somthn else. It takes one to know one.
I love his music because it takes on deeper topics than the usual pop/modern songs. I think it's so amazing, because I've been looking for music like his for a very long time. I always thought to myself, "Why can't music be about something other than love and relationships." Those are great! And I love love, please don't get me wrong. I just feel like there are other things that are important than the shallowness and self-centeredness of some relationships.

He has an amazing voice live and seems to be a really cool and thoughtful dude too. So many singers have great songs but are terrible live. Not Stromae - I'm definitely going to see him in concert next time he comes through NY.
+Steve Santore YOU MUST! I just saw him last night and it was one of the best performances i've ever seen. soooo so good. you will have a wonderful time.
actually the use of "ridiculous" as a positive word is one of the hardest things to understand for a foreigner. I see why Stromae is a little puzzled about it :D
@@avatarlhamo3063 Kinda of, usually is absurd but in a negative way, like something that makes you laugh because it's very stupid Like in Italy if we say ''Sei ridicolo'' (You're ridicolous) it means that you are making a fool out of yourself So even if it's paired with good adjectives like ''You're ridicoulously good, amaizing'' to us it will always seem like that good or amaizing thing wasn't good in a serious way but more in a so bad its so good way, like it made you laugh and it's good because of that. I hope I explained that in a good way
@@cocoluft That's interesting, in England when we say things like "ridiculously good" we just mean that someone/something is much better than we thought it could be, for example if we said "You're a ridiculously good singer" it would be a higher compliment than saying "you're a very good singer", I guess it's used in a similar way to "extremely" when referring to good or bad things, though we still retain the meaning of it when using it in sentences like "That's ridiculous"
Stromae's talent and art in the form of music is mesmerizing. Every time I listen to one of his songs, I feel such deep emotions at such a wide spectrum and I feel immersed in his thoughts and feelings. No other artist that I have heard makes such inspiring, emotional and meaningful music.

hi ,i recomend you Jain you can try the song Makeba but it famous now . if you like french language you can try Pomme or lea Paci or Louane and for men artist maybe saez , orelsan , Eddy de Pretto and in old classic artist Jacques Brel (one of the main inspiration for stromae ) George Brassens , Serge Gainsbourg , Alain Bashung and many many others ... have a nice day
Voilà ce qui s'appelle un véritable interprète. Il incarne chacune de ses chansons, tel un acteur, avec engagement, émotion... Stromae est un immense artiste, totalement unique. Quel bonheur il nous fait ❤️
Belgium is divided in two pieces ... the flemish region and the french region. only 2 tings bind us togheter ... the first is our national soccer team and the second is our love for this guys music. enjoy it ! he fills stations over here and in france. the Jaques Brell of this age ... now Stromae ... sing in flemish like brell did !
I've watched this at least once a month (usually 3 times back to back lol) since I found it... this performance exudes everything I've always loved about Stromae's brilliance.
This guy is my favorite French speaking person. He just makes me want to learn French language so I can truly enjoy His art. Formidable is a personal song to me. Every time I have to leave my Love in the plane I get drunk and listen to Formidable 9 hours non stop. Longiness is the worst feeling a human beeing can feel and Stromae in the song did express it 100%. Je t'aime mon frère! Merci!
I love Stromae and his music! I took French years ago & listening to him refreshed my love of French. The topics in his songs just really hit close combined with the rhythm transcends language. I’ve seen him 3 times in concert and have influenced 4 friends into listening to him.

I like how Stromae gets into EVERY performance he does. He acts drunk in Formidable and stiff as a board in Papaoutai. Awesome!
Thadius Sales I think at this point it's just engrained in the song for him. I know a few artists who can't sing their songs without also playing their instruments. Studios hate them because they refuse to record the vocals separate from the guitar.
thadthrasher Indeed, a true artist! Who creates everything himself (in contrast to strategic puppets as One Direction)
he also tends to do very feminine movements in tous les memes, which is awesome! it goes along with his half male/half female persona he adopts in that song

I discovered Stromae two days ago and I already have so much love for him
that's how i feel and I just found out about him this last Mon!
That's how i feel and I just found out about them 8 years ago!

He makes all his music electronic and the mastery it takes to play it live is beyond amazing.
I've just rediscovered Stromae after his comeback and I'm impressed of his immense talent, whatever in music, videos or fashion ❤
I got interested on learning french just because stromae
You can listen to Feu! Chatterton they are good too
same!!
Stromae and Gojira for me.
exactly the same thing
will try as well to learn french because of him
Every single performance he does, he gets completely into the character and story. You can tell he is really passionate about his work and I love that about Stromae.
I like how he has to stay in character with every song it makes everything that much genuine
It's an amazing thing about music and delivering it to an audience when you don't know the language, but you feel it. Incredibly talented and original. Unlike anyone else. Respect and love from Russia
For those who understands french it's amazing. The work of words, the twist with sounds it's crazy. I still love and listen to that music 3years after😃😃
that moment when you notice the clothes he's wearing is a green version of the instrumentalists clothes
Lol nice catch
Lauren Browning I actually just noticed that right before I saw this comment!😆
If you're still interested, it's his brand.
He actually has a clothing brand
Bruhhh
I love the way he talks about his ethnicity, he's proud of all of it but he was born and raised in Belgium so of course he'd see himself more as Belgian. This is something that I struggled with myself and I love his explanation
i have so much respect for him as an artist
I discovered his music a week ago and I’m hooked. Keep it up Stromae!
Unfortunately i think you came in at the end of his career
@@Locopueblo He just released New music 😁😁😁😁
The poet, the voice of his generation. We're still to see his peak, he is just getting started. Genius. Thank you for this video. Just big, heartfelt thanks.
The clarity of his vocals in Ave Cesária are beautiful. Listening to his songs help me with my French too.
*helps
"Help" is right because the noun befote it is plural
yababyabby Hate to correct a correction of a correction on a 3-year-old TH-cam comment, but “helps” is indeed correct, as “listening to his songs” in this sentence is effectively a singular noun.
@@itstant you are a man, right? I'm sure you woulnd''t know Blessed Soul's or Abby's mother tongue, you can only understand because they did you the favour of writing in English.
A morna in French! Fantastic homage to Cesária!!!
Voilà pourquoi j'adore cette radio, on y trouve de vrais talents, de vraies musiques.
Dogtown Je me lasse pas de cette radio.
***** c quoi le rapport ? o_O ?
Dogtown exactement.
DAAAAMMMNNN that acapella version so good
Do you mean the cover by Pentatonix?
Bastien Orbigo I mean the acapella version Tous Les Mêmes at the end
He is so fucking special!!! Influenced by Cesaria Evora and Buena Vista 😍😍 I can't believe that only yesterday I got to know the existence of this diamond!!
Stromae, maestro.I'm glad you're back. After a year of work interruption, you make me want to teach young people like you again. Brilliant, floating between cultures. Show them the way to make something beautiful out of it.
Ga ervoor!
Thats beautiful man we need people like you🙏🏼 there is perhaps a new stromae out there but without the right guidance he might give up or do somthn else. It takes one to know one.
Strome is one of those awesome singers who doesn't need auto tuning to sound good. That's why he's my favourite!
I love his music because it takes on deeper topics than the usual pop/modern songs.
I think it's so amazing, because I've been looking for music like his for a very long time. I always thought to myself, "Why can't music be about something other than love and relationships." Those are great! And I love love, please don't get me wrong. I just feel like there are other things that are important than the shallowness and self-centeredness of some relationships.
zaytoun mohamed Kelly clarkson too hahahahaha
go check out kendrick lamar my guy
Return of Stromae, Santé ! : th-cam.com/video/P3QS83ubhHE/w-d-xo.html
Probably learned that (subconsciously) from a fellow Belgian Jacques Brel. Just three random examples:

He has an amazing voice live and seems to be a really cool and thoughtful dude too. So many singers have great songs but are terrible live. Not Stromae - I'm definitely going to see him in concert next time he comes through NY.
+Steve Santore YOU MUST! I just saw him last night and it was one of the best performances i've ever seen. soooo so good. you will have a wonderful time.
yo, that pose he did at end of papaoutai. i was waiting for the little boy to stand next to him lol
Shame he isn't touring anymore. I think? I would cry if I saw him live.
@@mistyblueeyes4024 yeah, he isn't touring anymore. I would do ANYTHING to see him live though.
So mad I missed him in Chicago years ago. Ughhh
I just love how African it sounds, the way Stromae performs, the niceness of the radio host. Superb live show.
Stromae is a VIBE! His music transcends language. Amazing stuff!
actually the use of "ridiculous" as a positive word is one of the hardest things to understand for a foreigner. I see why Stromae is a little puzzled about it :D
I didn't know you were doing that
what is the meaning ? is it not in the meaning of absurd ? like the whole absurd genre
@@avatarlhamo3063 Kinda of, usually is absurd but in a negative way, like something that makes you laugh because it's very stupid
Like in Italy if we say ''Sei ridicolo'' (You're ridicolous) it means that you are making a fool out of yourself
So even if it's paired with good adjectives like ''You're ridicoulously good, amaizing'' to us it will always seem like that good or amaizing thing wasn't good in a serious way but more in a so bad its so good way, like it made you laugh and it's good because of that.
I hope I explained that in a good way
And sorry for my costant repetition of good ^^'
@@cocoluft that was really beautifully explained. Thank you for that
@@cocoluft That's interesting, in England when we say things like "ridiculously good" we just mean that someone/something is much better than we thought it could be, for example if we said "You're a ridiculously good singer" it would be a higher compliment than saying "you're a very good singer", I guess it's used in a similar way to "extremely" when referring to good or bad things, though we still retain the meaning of it when using it in sentences like "That's ridiculous"
Stromae's talent and art in the form of music is mesmerizing. Every time I listen to one of his songs, I feel such deep emotions at such a wide spectrum and I feel immersed in his thoughts and feelings. No other artist that I have heard makes such inspiring, emotional and meaningful music.
Laura Lagier well.. there is one... Michael jackson

As a french, I'm happy that KEXP and the rest of the world are liking this, guy! he is awesome
Surtout qu'il est belge.. ^mdr
oui!
Any others you recomend?
hi ,i recomend you Jain you can try the song Makeba but it famous now . if you like french language you can try Pomme or lea Paci or Louane and for men artist maybe saez , orelsan , Eddy de Pretto and in old classic artist Jacques Brel (one of the main inspiration for stromae ) George Brassens , Serge Gainsbourg , Alain Bashung and many many others ... have a nice day
i'll go with Emilie Simon or Leila huissoud instead of Louane , but i agree with the rest
Voilà ce qui s'appelle un véritable interprète. Il incarne chacune de ses chansons, tel un acteur, avec engagement, émotion... Stromae est un immense artiste, totalement unique. Quel bonheur il nous fait ❤️
Talento extraordinário!!!!!! Amo todo trabalho de STROMAE ! 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Amazing interviewer. Amazing artist.
My son introduced me (he found you through his HS French class) to this fine artist. Beautiful performance and we just love you! Bravo, Stromae!!!!!!
Quel talent, c'est magnifique
Merci STROMAE IL ETAIT UN DE TES PLUS GRAND FAN ET IL EST LA HAUT POUR TOI AUSSI
Whenever I need a video that stimulates my creativity, this is my drug.
Belgium is divided in two pieces ... the flemish region and the french region. only 2 tings bind us togheter ... the first is our national soccer team and the second is our love for this guys music. enjoy it ! he fills stations over here and in france. the Jaques Brell of this age ... now Stromae ... sing in flemish like brell did !
i absolutly agree with you, but i´m from the german speaking part of Belgium many peoples forget us, i never understand why....i love my country
Only two things??? Hockey national team, Romeo Elvis, Hooverphonic, Evenepoel, Davies Cup national team, beers and a lot of another things... ;)
Brel était encore plus profond dans ces textes. Ils ont sublimé le français.. mention d'honneur à Mc solar et le rat Luciano
De enige mensen dat denken dat we verdeeld zijn, zijn de mensen die ons land verdeeld maken. #tousensemble
@@jeroen-lta de realiteit toont aan dat de verdeeldheid er echt wel is he joel ... ik zou het ook graag anders zien. ;)
The drunk performance is awesome! He is truly artist to the bone
u have to see his concert live at montreal ( racine carre ) !!
Galadriel Kurast YES that was amazing
@@shraddhakrishnan7314 I watched it all, it was insanely good
He has been inactive for many years for various reasons but I think I still rate him as the best artist of the 21st century.
I've watched this at least once a month (usually 3 times back to back lol) since I found it... this performance exudes everything I've always loved about Stromae's brilliance.
I love how they always perform everything live. Pure talent.
Excellent performance! He is so original and genuine in his storytelling. His voice is like from another era but goes so well with the modern synths.
oh my godddd hes so perfect i cant
This guy is my favorite French speaking person. He just makes me want to learn French language so I can truly enjoy His art. Formidable is a personal song to me. Every time I have to leave my Love in the plane I get drunk and listen to Formidable 9 hours non stop. Longiness is the worst feeling a human beeing can feel and Stromae in the song did express it 100%. Je t'aime mon frère! Merci!
No one showing some love for the host, he was wonderful and really respectful.
Goosebumps when he starts singing, what an ARTIST
I'm so ridiculously proud this young fellar is from Belgium and one of my favorite US stations finally found 'm... This is sooo great :D
J'adore sa manière de réfléchir. Stromae tu es incroyable
+TheMs Croft (TheMsCroft) Les reflets sont magnifiques, en effet.
+TheMs Croft (TheMsCroft) Je suis d''accord
+TheMs Croft (TheMsCroft)
d'accord
hi your name is?
I want to learn french just because of him...love this man, he's a diamond, real artist
The two musicians beside Stromae are just amazing.
Stromae is a genius. That was so good. He is a 100% artist. His songs make sense. He doesn't just make money, what he does is Art.
The real artistic spirit... love from Czech republic
I love the acapella version of Tous Les memes!! So clean and harmonic, perfectly dynamic as well!
I love Stromae and his music! I took French years ago & listening to him refreshed my love of French. The topics in his songs just really hit close combined with the rhythm transcends language. I’ve seen him 3 times in concert and have influenced 4 friends into listening to him.
don't know how I missed this over the years, but so glad I have this now! 👏🏾💯
Why no one is talking about his backvocalists ?
+nirvanacobain001 they did at the end :)
Manoli and Florian... they're awesome!
