Answer 2

The best-known singer in France is maybe Johnny Halliday (50 years of career, over 60 millions disc sold...) : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Hall...

There are Christophe Mae and Christophe Willem.

The first one start with the musical "Le roi soleil" and Willem win "La Nouvelle Star" in 2006 (it's the french version of American Idol)

You have also Fatal Bazooka and Yelle who make funny music.

Otherwise, there are Zazie ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zazie ) Each of her disc work.

Also, you have Yannick Noah ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yannick_Noa... ) ex-tenisman who is pretty popular.

Answer 3

Lol funny answers. Well I live in Australia but I have French TV and French connections so I may be able to help from a Western perspective. It depends what music you're into, really. Yelle is good if you like dance music. I don't really like her apart from this one song she sings with this comedian guy called Mikael Youn called 'Parle a ma main' (talk to the hand) which is pretty funny and catchy (plus you can learn the actions if you look it up on youtube). Other than that she's a bit S****y. MC Solaar is a bit washed up now, I'm afraid. He had a good song quite recently called 'Clic clic' and he's good if you're into ethnic music (he has some good songs called Inshallah and 'La belle et le ad boy'). Sheryfa Luna has a few good songs ('Il avait les mots' is one of her recent ones) but she is a song contest singer and I don't know. I get a bad vibe from them. I havn't heard much from Marc Antoine but here are some of my own recommendations:

Magic System (there an African band with some REALLY great songs some including 'Zouglou dance' and 'Bouger bouger'- once again, pretty ethnic)

Leslie (ethnic as well but I defiitely recommend 'et j'attends' no matter what your taste)

Ifyou like rock, download songs by Kyo (including 'le chemin' and 'qui je suis'- they're quite old but those songs are really good)

pascal obispo- a french rock legend with some really good songs, some of the more recent being 'rosa' and some classics such as 'personne' and 'lucie.'

Zaho is a good rnb chick her latest song is called 'c'est chelou' and it's really good.

there's this really good pop sort of song called 'allo le monde.' i forget who it's by but it's really cute.

Amel Bent is pretty popular if you want to download some of her songs. And also Christophe Mae can offer some rock/reggae sounds. Quite unique and really good (including 'belle demoiselle' and 'parcequ'on ne sait jamais.'

Well there's a little preview. =D I think we all know who's getting best answer ay =] Me?

P.S. Johnny Hallyday is old and Belgian but he has some classic french hits (rock genre). Alizee had like one hit seriously lol and the song wasn't even hers (moi lolita)

Answer 4

What, What, How dare you do not know.

ALIZEE

Answer 5

Jhonny Hallyday

Answer 6

Cindy Sander and is song: Papillion de lumiere ,no it's a joke (we laught about her she is stupid and doesn't know that she is ridiculous) but she is too funny.

We haven't many french artists or it's for the older generation most of young French listen American music.

If you like French listen La liste by Rose I love it, La ceinture by Elodie Freger and some song of Zazie like Rodeo or Des rails or Je suis un homme or un Hotel rue de la Paix. It's not the top French singers but it's nice to listen sometimes Zazie song have a text behind for a foreigner it could but nice to listen it and understand it.
