In The Voice this Saturday, May 13, 2023 on TF1, Clem moved Vianney to tears during his performance. By interpreting My pal during the cross battles, the cult piece by Daniel Guichard, the young woman of 20 years triumphed against the group Los Malunos by collecting 78.9% of the votes of the public. Before facing next week the super cross battles stage in the presence of Mika, the protege of Zazie confided in Tele-Leisure.
Clem (The Voice 2023) : “I came alone to the show and I did not see myself continuing the adventure in a duo“
Tele-Leisure : What was the trigger to register for The Voice ?
Clem: It was not at all in my plans. I did not register. Last year, I took part in a singing competition in Carry-le-Rouet, in the south of France, in the presence of Bruno Berberes, the caster of The Voice. He was on the jury and he spotted me.
The battles were trying for you since you faced Julie Negroni, with whom you had a great bond. Have you been tempted like Prichia and Mea to ask the production for permission to form a duo ?

Non. Even if I love Julie’s voice, I came alone to the show and I didn’t see myself continuing the adventure in a duet.. I wanted to prove things to myself, alone. I don’t think she had that in mind either.
Have you two stayed in touch?
Yes, even if it’s a bit complicated to see each other because we don’t live nearby! But we talk from time to time.
This Saturday, May 13 on TF1, it was a bit two rooms, two atmospheres, since you went from Julie Negroni to Los Malunos…
Effectively ! (smile) I was stressed about falling in front of a whole group because they had four chances to defend themselves while I was alone.
“It wasn’t even a close match!“, Clem is surprised after his cross battle in The Voice
Finally, your victory was very large, with 78.9% of the vote. Were you surprised by this magnitude?
Of course. It wasn’t even a close game. I was super happy and it boosted my confidence even more.

What did you think tipped the scales in your favour?
It was a complicated performance because I remained seated on the stairs. I think what worked in my favor was sharing with the public and dedicating this song (My pal, Ed) to my dad. They felt the emotion that I wanted to give.
Clem very moved at the end of her performance in The Voice 2023 : “I was petrified, my legs were numb with emotion“
So this title had a special meaning for you…
In fact, it was dedicated to two people: my grandpa and my dad. My father came during the blind auditions and it’s thanks to him that I’m here because he pushed me a lot. Without him, I could have given up at any time. And concerning my grandfather, who died, I tell myself that I had missed strong moments with him. It was a long time ago, but it remains engraved in me.
Does that explain why you ended your performance in tears?
Yes, impossible for me to get up from the stairs. I was petrified. My legs were numb with emotion. It was the Los Malunos group that helped me. During this performance, something crazy happened, I couldn’t even explain it.

Did Zazie take you aside to speak to you in the face of this enormous emotion?
Yes. She said : “No matter what, you can be proud of yourself“His words really touched me and gave me a boost.
