Feuille blanche, que dire? Ca fait longtemps (n'exagérons rien, juste 2 semaines...) que je sais qu'il faut que je fasse un résumé d'un certain jour, d'un certain concert, d'une certaine rencontre, d'une certaine photo, de milliers de souvenirs, de milliers d'images gravés dans ma petite cervelle... malheureusement, tout ça n'arrive pas à sortir sous forme écrite, comme si j'étais devenue amnésique à l'idée de devoir mettre mes impressions sur un papier...

J'ai bien un petit quelque chose en anglais (hey hey! comment j'me la pète :op)...

It’s a beautiful day… it’s lovely weather… we could think that summer is back! We are the 12th of March 2007 and everything is good!It’s 6 pm, I’ m queuing for more than 4 hours in these idyllic surroundings… we are facing the Tour Eiffel, very near the Trocadéro, nearby there is a park with a lot of people who take advantage of the sun and have fun.In the queue, we have fun too : we meet people that we already knew and others, we talk a lot… and about what? Of course Calogero, we are all here for the same thing : to discover and celebrate Calogero’s new album!So, it’s 6 pm when security men open the doors, it’s a real obstacle course, there isn’t anyone in front of me (no, I’m not the first one in the queue, but we come into the room in ten by ten) : we reach the room, two lower stages, taking large and long corridors, and going front a restaurant room. Arriving in the room, beautiful red seats are waiting for us, moreover, they are very comfortable, and so chic! In front of these seats are lovely coffee tables (yes, I know everything is beautiful, the world is beautiful in these moments!)! But there are seats only for the first row, no problems for me, I find a good seat. Just one meter separates the scene from the audience… It’s a quite small scene all in black. On the left, there is a black piano, which occupies majestically a place of honour. And on the right, there is a box for percussions. In the middle, on the other hand, there is only an empty stool, with a mike. Behind the scene, there is a big aquarium, the size of the room, it’s very impressive and even upsetting… The aquarium is lit by lot of spotlights. After the arrival of people of his family (his wife and one of his two daughters), people who work with him and the Very Important Persons, Calogero and his drummer come into the room walking across the audience. He simply comes a guitar in the hand; he wears black jeans, with a grey pullover and yellow trainers. His drummer, Christophe, all in black except his blond hair and blue eyes follows him, and gets ready.The acoustic concert starts. Gestures are not very sure, even clumsy. He sometimes trembles, and voice is not always steady. A little after, he confesses being very stressed, and it’s the first time he is so stressed for a concert and for the release of an album, his fourth one “Pomme C”. But we feel and saw he is happy to show us his latest “baby” and pleased to be on stage. He has a big and lovely smile up to the ears. He speaks and jokes a lot, he strikes a pose in the style of models, raised head and walks with a sway the hips; fans had never had such a good time! Calogero sings for an hour, alternating new and former songs to the great delight of the fans. He starts with the first song of the album, “Pomme C” which is about disillusionment of virtual love, he makes a mistake and restarts; some songs after, comes the turn of “Suis-je assez clair?”, a song against discriminations because his father is an Italian immigrant, then there is “Drôle d’animal” which talks about the cruelty of the human race… Of course, he also sings his hits like “Si seulement je pouvais lui manquer” alone seated on his piano, and “Face à la mer”.One hundred people can’t take his eyes off him, it’ very impressive. The atmosphere is strange, as if people were shared between admiration and restraint. Everybody already knows lyrics of the new songs and sings refrains in chorus.Throughout the concert, the complicity at all levels, musical as well as humoristic between the two musicians and friends makes the audience happy.This place is absolutely extraordinary and very original for a concert : the fish are now blue, now pink, now yellow ; lights are sublime and reinforce the intimate side of the concert. Fans feel privileged in front of such a spectacle...

J'ai bien quelques photos...
Bon ben commençons par la fin ;-) (ou le plus important si vous préférez!^^)
