Regardless, the 20-year-old from Longueuil has a beautiful voice with which he plays happily and he certainly hasn't said his last word yet.

Those working on original material don't feel sad about not taking part in the popular TVA singing competition. “I'm proud of what I did and it's not the end of anything,” he told QMI Agency on Monday, a day after his blind audition aired.
Strange
Charles, who accompanied himself on the piano, defines himself as queer and has been appearing openly with feminine accessories for two years. With necklaces, bracelets, high heels and makeup, Charles Kardos feels free to be who he is in life, and what we saw on our screens Sunday is the same as every day.
He wore long, curly hair, like when the faithful of La Voix Junior knew him. He wore a tuxedo, necklace, earrings, bracelets and high heels because he knows that today everyone has the right to be who they are. In short, he is undoubtedly a role model of self-acceptance and an inspiration to other young people.
“Derogatory” homophobic and transphobic comments
In an interview with Charles Lafortune during the show, he admitted that the “derogatory” homophobic and transphobic comments multiplied after he appeared in a dress on Instagram in January 2022, and more specifically last year when he posted his casting photos in the shared on the same social network. The moderator even spoke of a “seismic earthquake”.
Charles, who likes to “flirt with the feminine,” also starred in a McDonald's commercial wearing earrings and red lipstick.
In an interview on Monday, the man who works as a presenter in the Montreal Casino's interactive gaming zone said his presence at La Voix did not inspire the same hatred. Fortunately.

“I define myself as a queer person and am very open about my definition of gender identity and my sexual identity. I know that I have been described as a non-binary person in articles in the past. Yes, I could identify on the gender non-binary spectrum, but there is nothing defined. “I'm queer, I use all pronouns, I'm open and I dress what I think is beautiful,” he said, adding that he has the “privilege of being well surrounded.”
Coach Corneille mentioned to Charles that he “still radiates the same joy and happiness” as he did during La Voix Junior’s time, adding: “There is a kind of light that you have not lost and I am happy for you to see.” I still have it.
France D'amour listened to Billy Joel, Queen's Freddie Mercury and Frank Sinatra during her number.
“I can’t wait to actually hear you,” the rocker said. It is true that we are the sum of all the people we have loved, but at a certain moment we have to find ourselves, we have to find out who we are, what our path is, what we mean. I feel like you're going to come into full bloom here when we stop referring to others and saying, “Ah, that's Charles!”
The main interested party emphasizes that what France D'Amour said “resonated” with him and that he continues to explore his artistic identity, which he sees as a constantly evolving process.
We can watch his performance on TVA+ on Sunday. Otherwise, La Voix season 10 airs every Sunday at 7 p.m. on TVA.
