5.0 out of 5 stars Les paradoxes de Thierry sont beaux, April 8, 2004

I like a few of the other reviewers found my way to Thierry by way of "A la recherche de la nouvelle star." It may seem trying to most that real talent can come out of commercially produceds shows like that,but it's true. Thierry is really talented vocally and he is to me, wiser and more mature beyond his actual years. All of the songs on the album both old and new are sung with such a great depth of emotion. I do speak french myself and i can vouch for the beauty and complexity of the songs. There is a great commentary on social issues, such as in "Entends -tu les hommes" and "2,000 ans sur la terre" , "On s'envole" ,and one cannot ignore the fragility of the classic "Avec le temps." Thierry is very different from the actual winner of "Nouvelle star" Jonatan. They both have a different style and i would say that Jonatan (and i do like Jonatan as well) is "younger" and given a decision between Thierry and Jonatan, I choose Thierry. This is an amazing album, many different ranges. It's a great value as well given the bonus tracks. It is a wonderful album and I really recommend it with high honors. Tres bien fait Thierry!

5.0 out of 5 stars An incredible voice, February 25, 2004

Thierry's first album is wonderful! I live in France now and Thierry is without a doubt one of the greatest new French voices. He was discovered on "A la Recherche de la Nouvelle Star" and was the runner up. In my eyes and the eyes of many others he still won. He has become just as successful, if not even more so, than the actual winner. The album has Thierry's version of some of the most popular French songs in history...like "Avec le Temps", "Je Suis Malade", "L'Aigle Noir" etc. It moves me every time I listen to these! His newest single from the album "Je Regarde La-Haut" is really good too as well as "Les Mots Bleus" ...actually, I like just about every song on the album to be perfectly honest. Even if you don't understand French, it's a great album to have. (You can always have someone translate the songs or research it alone if you want the direct meanings.) It really is worth it. He trasmits so much emotion through his voice, I'm sure you'll understand the main idea anyway! I highly recommend this album!

5.0 out of 5 stars He charmed us with classics, don't miss his début release !, November 19, 2003

Thierry was the revelation of yet another TV musical talent show. But don't be mistaken, we are talking about a real artist here : someone with a real personality and quite a sensibility. In a few years' time, no one will even remember that the show is how we got the chance to hear him singing. I do like his new songs but even if just to listen to him singing "Amsterdam" or "l'Aigle Noir", this CD is worth your money !
PS just in case you're wondering : I am 28 years' old, married and pregnant, and not a crazy adolescent fan in love with the guy :-))
