Meeting Selah Sue

I also feel like I am President when I meet Selah...

As a single "Dank u" would not be enough, there are some pics of yesterday's good vibes...

Entraînement

MY STATION.
MY PLATFORM.

Please keep on singing a bit.

I'm there at 19:17.
I take a train.

EDIT: Or better, choose Béthune station and come home.
1h20-journey.
I have good coffee at home.
I'll pick you up there.

Dank u wel...

When it fits so well

Good ratio !

Fan: 5 - Fan friends and family: 3

Impossible to cover the whole Selah fall tour but...

The best yet to come ! :)

Définitions, part I

cartonner (verbe intransitif) (Familier) (→ faire un carton)

Avoir du succès, l'emporter haut la main.
Ex: Ces 13 et 14 octobre 2014, Selah Sue a cartonné à la Gaîté Lyrique.


Corcovado (nom propre)

Colline de Rio de Janeiro au sommet duquel se dresse la statue du Christ Rédempteur.
Ex: Parfois, on trouve le Corcovado dans le 1^er arrondissement de Paris.
 

devotion (noun) (uses a é instead of a e in french)

Ardent, often selfless affection and dedication, as to a person or principle.
Ex: Although she knew she would struggle, Selah Sue showed a big devotion to one of her greatest fans (making a very unique moment), while she was asked to play a Lauryn Hill song.

C'est ma tournée !

Ça y est ! Enfin !

Fini l'enregistrement de l'album aux U.S.A., finie la tournée #1, oubliés Raggamuffin, This World et Mommy !
Voici le temps des Won't go for more, Fear nothing and Daddy.
Ces titres tout nouveaux apparaîtront à coup sûr dans la tracklist du nouvel album qui sortira, selon toute vraisemblance, en février 2015.

Selah revient donc nous voir et débute ce nouveau tour en France ce lundi 13 octobre à la Gaîté lyrique, en plein coeur de Paris (elle s'y produira deux soirs d'affilée), et j'aurais envie de fêter ça de plusieurs façons différentes.

Tout d'abord, en relatant ici l'expérience relativement étrange que j'ai pu vivre en live au concert de Lauryn Hill ce 13 septembre, au Zénith de Paris ? C'est à propos de Selah et de Lauryn... mais non, je n'en dirai pas plus pour le moment. Héhé.

Ou alors pourrais-je raconter en détail l'effet que ça fait d'entrer dans cet endroit, de le visiter et d'y rencontrer des gens ?

Ou bien encore pourquoi, malgré l'opportunité qui m'a été donné d'assister au concert ultra-privé du W9 home festival le mois dernier, j'ai décidé de ne pas me rendre à Paris.

Et bien non, aujourd'hui je vais juste vous laisser profiter de ce document assez rare, diffusé sur la télévision flamande il y a presque 2 ans. Si le contenu vous est inconnu alors je vous souhaite une bonne découverte... et je l'espère, une belle tournée.
:)

You're welcome

...telling me I have won !

Selahoutai

Tonight, Selah Sue gave a concert in Budapest, Hungary.
She told this afternoon that it was "(their) very last show".
OK.

But I can't believe this.
I can't believe that this show is dead.


I can't believe that this typical setlist [2010-2013] could die tonight.

And how long until I could take new pictures with the combo flower/hat/glasses on again ?

Will the second (real) batch of concerts give the same talented people on stage ?

Is it planned that the three bandeaux will be thrown to the fire ?

Will the fan be powered on again one day ?

If in 2013, Selah Sue has done new countries, done again lot of other ones, namely Argentina, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Hungary, Japan, Lithuania, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, and U.S.A., look attentively at this list of countries again.
I did it again and again. You'll realize like me that...

France doesn't take part of this list.

Aucun concert en France en 2013.
Je n'ai assisté à aucun live de Selah Sue en 2013.
Question: est-ce qu'une année tout entière sans Selah Sue est envisageable ?
Réponse: je crains bien que non. Mentalement impossible.
C'est bien trop dur et frustrant de voir passer les dates, sans qu'aucune ne concerne la France.
Et même si un concert était prévu à Paris ce 10 août dernier, ce n'était que la retransmission d'un ancien concert sur écran géant... Fausse joie.


Et parce qu'en cherchant aussi un concert de Selah Sue à Paris, on tombera très vite sur la vérité.

OK, the next album is coming, the demos to be recorded and to become your new babies.
But come on Sally.
Let me ask you "Selahoutai".

Then you would give me the answer that you decided to give a final 2013 gig in Rijsel, which would be a very nice choice.
A final meeting together for 2013.
Some acoustic, some oldies - some electronic, some new sounds.
The perfect transition...

Just before adulthood will take place for good.

Sitting, waiting, wishing

Selah wait

So you got it. Are you fan of Selah Sue ? So you have to be patient. That's the deal.
After she must have made of "dormir" her very first job in 2013, on february 22nd, Sanne told her Facebook fans that "Album 2 (was) gonna be it" ! Like she knew which direction she wanted to give it.

Then we had the Hä.-D. ad released, that was our first gift of 2013.
Sorry. She met Walk Off the Earth in USA last november, they covered that beautiful love song and we got the result on january 15th. Very first gift.
So, two songs released in almost 5 monthes of a year.
Are you happy with that ?

I think I can wait some more weeks myself for more new songs.
Even monthes.
The longer we have to wait, the best new songs will be.
How could it be otherwise ? ("I'll make all of ur waiting worth while")
But major condition: getting some scheduled concerts until the end of 2013.
The best area would be around Rijsel, of course.
Paris or Brussels may suit.

If you "can't wait to play some for u(s), start touring again.. the band, crew, u(s)", then what you're waiting for ? Let's plan a (small) meet-ups here and there ! I know that somewhere in Poland or Belgium, that kind of gifts would be appreciated too.

Oh yes, I forgot that a far-far-away tour will soon start with concerts in La Réunion, USA or Canada...
But after that, I see lots of free spaces in summer for meet-ups we've just talked about. Hehe.

PS: I tried to find what looked like "pinkie[, (?)] kiss(es)" but I only came across this.

Reggae music may get you kinky.
