It must be said that the preparation time is at least as short as the pressure is great for the facilitator. On his Twitter account, Wednesday, the one who multiplies the successes on TF1 posted a “stress at 8,000 to be at the end of the season. the height” of Nikos Aliagas, who should have chain it to his 14th “NMA”. May Camille Combal be at the height, on the spot, nobody really seems to doubt it. He will be.
What is also certain is that the troublemaker of the front page, also star of La grande encruste, will play it with another pitch. His. “Nikos is not Camille Combal and Camille Combal is not Nikos. Everyone brings their own personality. and Camille arrives with her paw. Which means that the show will undoubtedly be a little different, points out backstage Jacques Grimal, the coordinator of the NMAs since their creation. We put things in order. the trash can, but we are not starting from scratch. There is a fixed base linked to the very nature of the broadcast. It’s an awards show and a string of performances.”
“It”may bring a little more fun”
On the forecourt of the palace, where NRJ has also relocated his radio studio over the weekend, this forced change; presenter wasn’t the priority; of those who, among the public, had come above all to “cross paths with Angèle” or collect the latest invitations handed out bit by bit by Cauet and his gang. “The NMAs are mostly full of stars, all at the same time in the same place. It’s what we like, says Clara, 19. But Camille Combal will perhaps bring a little more fun to punctuate the evening.”
Especially since it still promises to last. Ava Max, Lizzo, Gayle, Aya Nakamura, Damso, Juliette Armanet, Slimane, Izia, and Soolking have recently been announced in addition to David Guetta, Bebe Rexha, Rosalía, Yungblud, Orelsan, Bigflo & Oli, Stromae, Clara Luciani, Amir, Keen’V and Kendji Girac. Even Renaud will be there. to receive an honorary NRJ Music Awards, announced; TF1 this Thursday.
Camille Combal therefore has her work cut out for her. Before passing the baton to; Nikos Aliagas next year. Anyway, that’s the deal. “It’s really cool that Camille agreed to to replace it. But Nikos has embodied this show for thirteen years and, Personally, I think it’s better to do it,” says Jacques Grimal.
