Julien Doré has never had his tongue in his pocket. But if he remains silent on certain subjects, it is for a specific reason, as the singer confided to the microphone of RTL…
Julien Doré rarely speaks up to give his opinions, particularly on sensitive subjects… and it is not out of reluctance, but rather because he is aware of the privilege that his position represents. This is what the 43-year-old singer explained recently on RTL.
Julien Doré, “freaked out” : “It’s a trap that artists fall into…“
The interpreter of Paris-Seychelles considers that it is often inappropriate for a relatively privileged artist to express words that can be perceived as moralizing. “This is a trap that a lot of media personalities fall into. I think it’s very delicate when we are privileged, when our passion has become our profession, when every day we wake up with the only thing to think about doing what we love, it’s very difficult to let yourself be carried to a microphone to give lessons to those who don’t have the chance to get up with a smile in the morning…” he said.
According to him, society already weighs quite heavily on consciences: “I am very wary of the lessons given, we are in a society that makes citizens feel very guilty, if artists and creatives start doing the same as soon as they have a microphone, that freaks me out a little..”
Julien Doré: “You can have money and…“
However, this father of a 4-year-old boy does not deny the right to express himself. Rather, it highlights the gap, sometimes considerable, between the position of the artist and the reality of those who listen to him. “You may not be completely consistent with your lifestyle. You can have money and do what you love, and still want to say what you think, I can understand. But it’s difficult to come and explain to people who to vote for and what to think while looking at your watch because there is a parade that you don’t want to miss 2 blocks from here. I find that there is a dichotomy in this privilege“, he assured.
For Julien Doré, silencing certain opinions is not “a lack of courage” in this case : “On the contrary, I think it is a form of nuance to be careful not to give lessons to those who love us, because they receive them all day long.“.
Julien Doré, facing the “attacks”: “My only goal is to…“
On a daily basis, the singer, who lives in the Cévennes, does not take himself seriously and also distances himself from the criticism he receives, particularly on social networks. “People know my self-deprecation. Attacks on social networks, I play with it. I sometimes even go looking for them to make fun of them“, he explained to The two of usbefore specifying: “In this time where we are experiencing so much horror, my only goal is to have fun and make people who like me feel good with me. I won’t worry about people who don’t like me“.
