The live format of the music competition “Zénith” made the team sweat again on Thursday when the video in which singer Annie Villeneuve explained her strategy could not be broadcast due to a technical glitch.

We remember that on February 2, when the show opened, there was no sound. The host Véronique Cloutier had gone on, unaware that we hadn’t heard what she was saying at home. Radio-Canada explained that the loss of audio was related to a broadcast error.
This Thursday, of course, wasn’t as bad and Annie Villeneuve was undeterred by this mishap. She made a solid showing with Stromae’s suicide-themed play ‘L’enfer’, which the Belgian artist featured on a news program in France.
Dressed all in white and surrounded by dancers in black costumes, representing the thoughts that sometimes lead to committing the irretrievable, the artist was gradually stained with black soot—even on her face—every time the dancers hit her manhandled or grabbed them to make them spin in the air. After her touching singing tour, Annie Villeneuve explained her approach, she wants people with dark thoughts to seek help.
She hit the mark so well with her performance that the Zs gave her a perfect score of 25 and the home crowd gave her the most votes, earning her five extra points for a total of 101 points (96+5). , Annie Villeneuve, representative of the Y, slipped into the final where she will meet Éléonore Lagacé of the Z. We will meet the finalists of the X and the Boomer in the next two episodes of “Zénith” with a view to the final April 13 on ICI Télé.
On Thursday, Annie Villeneuve faced Matt Lang, Jason Roy Léveillée and Damien Robitaille, all of whom were eliminated at the end of the evening.
