SYLVIE VARTAN LIVE IN PARIS - "JE TIRE MA REVERENCE"There's no person among her fans around the globe
who would expect Sylvie Vartan to say utterly to her audience
"ses adieux" (the word inadequate for Sylvie, though) or something so sad in January 2025,
au Palais des Congres de Paris, her ultimate live performances. Ce n'est qu'un au revoir.
Sylvie, who has a great personality, has been engaged in other areas besides her primary activity.
She will always be a source of inspiration for many people anyway.
Sylvie Vartan, it's about her distinctive voice, timbre or voice quality. That's clear at a glance.
Wishing Sylvie first of all a super good health. If possible amazingly keeping her voice as it is. We'll be so happy to listen to her on the radio (Internet) regularly.

ALBUM & BOOK RELEASE
SENSIBLE (ALBUM 1998/MERCURY) 1ST VINYL LP 31.01.2025
"SENSIBLE" is the album that I can't forget. Sylvie was in Tokyo in June 1999 for a series of live. Thanks to Tony Scotti, I could get her autograph on my CD. Sylvie had a new look with short straight hairstyle just like the album jecket. In November, Sylvie had concerts at L'Olympia Paris "Tour De Siecle."
Beautiful record that includes contrasting numbers such as grand SENSIBLE, touching "DARINA" and two dynamic numbers of rock'n'roller Vartan "ODESSA" and "MA VERITE."
About DARINA," one of Sylvie Vartan's autobiographical songs, who can forget her amazing performance, singing voice at L'Oympia Paris 2009 (Formidable CD/DVD live "SYLVIE LIVE"). It's absolutely an enduring scene. On the other hand, at memorable Dome de Paris - Palais de Sports 2024, Sylvie was sentimental in a different way and we saw her crying while singing it.
