LA VOIX DE PIAF dans le Film « La MOME »
Lorsque Jil chante cet HOMMAGE A EDITH PIAF, c'est une autre voix de moineau. Elle nous rentre dans la peau, par le bas, par le haut,
son envie de chanter, c'est physique. Tout son être est tendu, son souffle est suspendu, c'est une vraie tordue de musique !
Découverte par Ginou Richer, amie proche d’Edith Piaf, cette artiste a été choisie pour être la voix chantée de Piaf dans le film La
MOME d’Olivier Dahan ( Elle est donc la voix de Marion Cotillard ).
Depuis le triomphe du film, elle a conquis la France et l’Europe avec une aisance et un talent lumineux en offrant au public des concerts chargés d’émotions et de grâce.
Son succès grandissant l’a poussée jusqu’aux Etats Unis, où l’artiste a le plus souvent joué à guichets fermés lors de ses tournées de 2009, 2011, 2012.
Un brillant hommage à l’icône de la chanson française, constitué de refrains intemporels qui ont su traverser le siècle et les frontières pour rester gravés dans la mémoire collective...
Un hommage tellement juste que le miracle s’est produit, a fleur de peau, inexplicable. La magie du spectacle vivant.
LA NOUVELLE RÉPUBLIQUE
Plantée sur la scène avec son micro, les mains sur les hanches... on y croit car elle chante juste et vrai ! Le répertoire est celui de Piaf mais cette artiste semble elle aussi ne vivre que
pour le public. Simple, authentique, sincère elle chante avec ses tripes et dans la sale le frisson passe.
Lorsque Jil entonne « Non je ne regrette rien » le public se lève et applaudit debout pour une véritable ovation !
NICE MATIN
Subjugué par la présence en scène et la puissance vocale de l’artiste, le public applaudit de bout encore et encore...

act, she sang in the streets until she was discovered by promoter Louis Leplee, who re-named her «la môme Piaf» («the waif sparrow»). The diminutive singer gained popularity as she toured France,
