Victoires de la musique 2023: why the ceremony is so criticized

Victoires de la musique 2023 why the ceremony is so

MUSIC VICTORIES. The 38th Victoires de la Musique ceremony is being held this Friday, February 10, 2023 and offers a cast already well known to viewers…

[Mis à jour le 10 février 2023 à 17h08] Last straight line before the 38th Victoires de la Musique ceremony, which takes place this Friday, February 10, 2023. Presented by Laury Thilleman, for the third consecutive time, the ceremony will be chaired by the singer Calogero and broadcast, live from the musical Seine from Boulogne-Billancourt, on France 2 and France Inter from 9:10 p.m. It should also be noted that a Victoire de la musique d’honneur will be awarded in the evening to Serge Lama, for his entire career. A “last very pleasant hello to the profession”, in his own words in the JDD on Sunday last.

This year again, the list of nominees for the Victoires de la Musique will have earned the organizers of the great mass of French-speaking music a number of criticisms. Where is the rap, yet essential in the ears of the French? Where is the diversity, when the top three nominations are so usual? The only surprise may possibly lie in the revelation categories, highlighting young artists. So, the Victoires de la musique 2023, which want to advocate the diversity of French-speaking music, have they still missed out on a necessary questioning?

Which artists will sing at the Victoires de la Musique?

Like every year, on the stage of the musical Seine, a number of competing artists will parade, come to defend their song. At the end of the evening, after all these musical performances, the Victory for the Original Song will be awarded to one of the artists, acclaimed by the viewers who will have been able to vote throughout the evening (see below).

What are the categories of the Victoires de la musique 2023?

In 2023, like last year, artists will be nominated in eight different categories: Male Artist, Female Artist, Male Revelation, Female Revelation, Album, Original Song, Concert and Audiovisual Creation. The novelty of last year has therefore been retained: the Concert category, which has returned to the list, but included the last two years, due to cancellations linked to the Covid-19 pandemic. A health situation which had also upset the Revelations of the Year category from 2021, which had become unmixed (previously Revelation stage and Album revelation), but separated into “male” and “female”.

Who votes for the Victoires de la Musique 2023?

For the Victoires de la Musique 2023, the public once again has the opportunity to vote in the category of Original Song of the Year. Voting will be open until the day before the ceremony. It will be possible to vote on the France Télévisions site, once a day, with an email address. For the other categories, the votes are entrusted to a college of voters, made up of 900 people, professionals in the music industry and members “outside the music industry”, recruited on a cover letter.
