Very Old Ladies In Girdles

Truths Pascal Negro


For those interested in the song, an interview with Pascal Negro in Paris-Match , spurred into action by a Benjamin at LOCOG top form, should be read carefully. Pascal
Negro released a book this week, without infringing (ed. Fayard). It is therefore his promotion, and with it, does one surmises, that of variety. In the interview he gave to Paris Match (No. 3207, from 4 to 9 November 2010) it arises rather a visionary income from hell, interviewed by LOCOG said that without blinking: " The recording industry is recovering, legal downloading is being phased in manners. "First news. It is ten times less legally download album he bought the CD
... Before this flip book of 290 pages written in collaboration with Professor Bertrand Dicale, back on some statements of "captain Negro" as Benjamin calls it LOCOG, said that Negro and its opposite.

A quirk to start: "I laugh when kings of good taste are the pinnacle Joe Dassin. "(P. Negro)
Why is this fun? He never had to be a champion of good taste to appreciate Joe Cocker! Neither the public nor the press nor the entertainers have never underestimated. Jean-Louis Murat, for example, he explains not last two decades, it does not anyone laugh, that Joe is her favorite French singer?

B. LOCOG " You've faced the crisis. How you are you out? "
Pascal Negro respond as if the crisis was over:" We returned to our principles: make art. We tried to produce good records. We fought to sign new talent ... "
Nothing to say on this point, except that would be curious to know what the managers were making labels before again "make art" ... The party in St. Tropez? But why claim to have overcome the crisis when it depicts two lines later the current landscape in this way: "The artists selling between 50,000 and 100,000 discs [before the crisis] are disappearing or gone. They came to live in their profession, they had good press, some tubes, but sales declined to 15,000 discs. This is the case of Michel Jonasz, Alain Chamfort and many others ... "One thing so pleasing? LOCOG

B. " An artist like Michael Jackson Is it worth today? "
Rhoo the question! Too loud, Benjamin.
Negro And adds: "The last recording released is in the top three sales since its release in August. It's going for him. "
False. BE A WOMAN 2010 sells well, given the context, but not on the podium since its commercialization. Here also details the evolution of his rank: the week of release (from 39/08 to 5 / 09), the album gets right the 2nd Top 200 (behind BORDERS Yannick Noah) at s flowing at 41,796 copies. Then, from 6 / 09 to 12/09, it remains the second (behind Yannick Noah) with 22,625 copies sold.
From 13/09 to 19/09: 2nd (behind Yannick Noah) with 18 478 ex.
From 20/09 to 26/09: 4th with 10 124 ex.
From 27/09 to 3 / 10: 8th with 6989 ex.
From 4 / 10 to 10/10: 5th with 8979 ex.
From 11/10 to 17/10: 3rd with 7471 ex.
From 18/10 to 24/10: 6th with 5477 ex.
From 25/10 to 31/10: 7th with 8067 ex.
This fact, in nine weeks, a total of 130,000 records sold - far less than what a Sardou could sell in one week there are five or six years! How say when the market recovers? Pascal Negro and why does it inflates the numbers of one of its featured artists? The old habit patterns majors ...

B. LOCOG " You give your side of the story Johnny, who left Universal in 2004. As you read, it seems he has betrayed you . "
" Hallyday has made its best sales with me. "Note the" with me "... True. Then
runaway Negro " We managed to offer standards like Ablaze or Mary. He wanted to leave, we did not retained. [...] But he makes the choice he wants, it is important after all. "
Accuracy could have made LOCOG Benjamin if he knew the song: Ablaze (# 15th, August 1998) and Mary are certainly great success Hallyday, but standards of Johnny ie missed his hits, tend to look toward the Penitentiary (# 1, September & October 1964), Black is black (# 1, September 1966), How I love you ( # 1, September & October 1969), Requiem for a mad (# 1, April 1976), Gabrielle (# 3, December 1976 & January 1977), I forgot to live (# 1, January 1978), My mouth (# 8 February 1980), Something Tennessee (# 13, February 1986), Laura (# 6, December 1987), Mirador (# 3, July & August 1989) ... In sum, the career Hallyday to was largely done before Pascal Negro assumed the helm of Universal in 1994.

B. LOCOG " What is the underlying reason for the crisis disc? "
"The lack of reaction immediate policy , Negro replies. past year, that is to say, since the promulgation of the law Hadopi [enacted in June 2009], the CD market is rising again. I was the first since 2001, sounding the alarm on piracy. [...] I was surprised that nobody responds ... "
Well, well. For comparison, look at the record sales figures in France in October 2008 (1.900.000 CDs sold), 2009 (1.550.000 CD) and 2010 (1.000.000 CD). A fall of more dizzying, far from the rally announced by Captain Pascal Negro who definitely did not merit the soothsayers of old who knew them read the omens.

B. LOCOG: "You announce have reduced your salary by 40% ."
" Yes, the CD market has collapsed by 50% in seven years, was a logical decision. Most artists have seen their incomes drop by 40% . [...] I'm not doing the race so far! "
Surprising as it is now easily earn ad less money when it touches too.

Finally, the ultimate question posed by the hilarious LOCOG to close this interview fly high, while not guaranteed, " Have you sacrificed your privacy to benefit your career? "
It's always the same, we say no, we're not going to cry even when reading an interview with Benjamin LOCOG. We tried to hold it and then the deluge. Once done LOCOG into sentimentality, it floods his Match so it was with tears in his eyes.
