Nikki Yanofsky

Hi everyone,

Not much to do with languages except that Nikki Yanofsky, 16-year-old jazz singer is a Quebecois (living in Montreal - do pronounce the "t"): she speaks a bit of French but mainly English.

I'm very fond of Nikki, I'm "her friend" on Facebook: woohoo!!
Her voice is truly wonderful!!

She just posted:

Jusr finished taping Vivement Dimanche... Woohoo!!

(the "Jusr" is "Just")

That means she finished to record "Vivement dimanche" on the video-tape... she will be in this Sunday's program with Michel Drucker.

Of course I will be in front of my screen as I'm a fan but not sure she will sing.

Anyway, I will attend her meeting in May at La Cigale in Paris!

Hi,

I don't know if you can see -> https://www.facebook.com/nikkiyanofsky

Before, she had posted

Francey pants (Hier, à 21:54)

People wondered what French pants might have but I think she just meants she arrived in France.

NB: Take care as "pants" is one of these words with a meaning different b/w American and British English.
First of all, the singular "pant" means Fr"halètement".
US "pants" means Fr "pantalons".
Br 'pants" means Fr "slip".
Not the same... take care and don't confuse!!

I'll be in front of mu sceen too if I can !

Hi Muriel, everyone,

In addition to Vivement dimanche on Sunday, Nikki will be in "Champs Elysées" on Saturday night FR2.

Other messages:

So I'm obsessed with the "macarons" in Paris. YUM I had coffee flavour and hazelnut and I recommend both

Tomorrow night, Nikki will be appearing on the world renowned French variety show "Champs-Elysees" on France 2 (TV)!! Tune in at 8:30 p.m. CET (2:30 p.m. EST)!!

Both messages are supposed to be published by Nikki (the wall of her account) https://www.facebook.com/nikkiyanofsky but whe can read ("Nikki will be appearing") that a team is posting for her... just promoting as she's on tour throughout France.

Hi everyone,

Big disappointment today!

If we could see and hear a song by Nikki yesterday at Champs Elysées, no Nikki at "Vivement dimanche" the guest of which was Jamel...

I wonder how long before true broadcast the program is recorded.

I am really sorry for you

It will be broadcasted another Sunday.
I asked Nikki about this but -of course- messages are posted but responses are never read.

Anyway, I will attend her concert in May.

So you are not too disappointed !

Hi Muriel,

I'm a bit disappointed, mainly because I mistakenly announced Nikki's performance in Vivement dimanche for Sunday!
This broadcasting will take place later.
I didn't know Michel Drucker recorded programs with such delay: he must have a big collection of records that he picks up according to the right moment, commercially speaking.

Hi Muriel, hi everyone,

I must confess I love Nikki's voice but "she" begins to get on my nerves!

As I wrote it above, her Facebook account is commercial -> https://www.facebook.com/nikkiyanofsky

She doesn't really post but has employees who do it to fuel buzz and get a big group of fans.
They presently post anything from what she ate for breakfast to her sleeping like a baby, etc.
The style is childish and silly.

I'm a member of other star's FCB account (Matthieu Boré): they delete any subject which was not started by them... Okay, they want to head the media plan but here for Nikki, that's too much!
Anyway, I'll attend her concert but her team is too commercial for me.

I am sure you will enjoy her concert anyway !

Sure I will!
Her voice is wonderful! I don't know why Quebecois have such a voice... I'm jealous! I'm unable to sing like them! Sometimes I try in my bathroom but quickly stop to switch on the radio!

Hi everyone,

I won't attend Nikki's concert at La Cigale as it is overcrowded but she will sing in the Olympia, Paris!!!

An interview to teen.com by Nikki -> Celebrity Crush

Plus enfantine, tu meurs ! but you can try to understand her words!

But she looks very cute

Every girlie of 16 looks very cute :sigh:

Hi everyone,

Nikki Yanofsky could sing with Stevie Wonder...

Nikki Yanofsky
Though you don't believe that they do, they do come true..
My dream most certainly did!! I just had the honor of singing with my hero, Stevie Wonder as part of the KMA Power Of Love gala for Quincy Jones and Sir Michael Caine. I've never felt luckier or more blessed.... They say don't meet your heroes. Well he's lived up to everything I could ever have imagined and more #overjoyed

Imagine that as a doctor, you could take a photo with Ambroise Paré , as an IT-professional, with Tim Berners-Lee, or Bill Gates, or Steve Jobs, or Steve Ballmer...

Hi everyone,

I can't help posting this photo:
It dates back to November 7, 2011 and got this comment by Nicole :

Nikki's Tour de France - Une Grande Victoire!

Last month, Nikki returned triumphant from her own Tour de France, winning over her French fans not with a bicycle, but with her golden voice and “grande charme.” Globetrotting across the country with her signature style, Nikki wowed audiences in Salon de Provence, Tourcoing, Coutances, Bordeaux, Joue-Les-Tours, Courbevoie and Toulouse, culminating in her debut performance at the legendary Olympia in Paris. Founded in 1888, the Olympia has played host to the finest performers in the world, including Edith Piaf at her height of fame. Felicitations Nikki, on your latest coup!

Notice Nikki was born on February 8, 1994.
She began in 2006 with her performance on the stage of the International Jazz Festival of Montreal at the age of 12.
She will be singing at the 2013 Festival, which is from June 29 to July 7.

Nikki's back to Paris.

Nikki offers us "Something New"

Yes it is very good ! She is an up and coming singer (I am very proud of that expression I have just come across with)
