On May 5th Amandine Bourgeois released her third album “Au Masculin”. In it Amandine—she who whipped out a can of crazy at Eurovision 2013—covers some of the biggest French-speaking male artists of all time. Her first single “Ma Gueule” faired rather well, and she hopes to follow this success with the release of her second single “Alors on Danse”. It’s an acoustic cover of one of this century’s biggest dance tracks by the Francophone star of the moment, Stromae.

Amandine’s chilled out cover is unrecognisable compared to Stromae’s upbeat bass original. The differences are so vast it makes it difficult to compare the two tracks. Isn’t that the key to every good cover? A Stromae fan would perhaps say the song loses a lot of its quirks (and strengths) in transition from dance to acoustic. But an Amandine fan will emphasise that the vocals improve the song a lot.
Luckily for me, I’m a fan of them both. I’d like to see Amandine release more original material in the future, but for now “Au Masculin” will keep me happy.
he is from belgium!!!! but amadine is great!!!!
I think her 2013 performance gave enough justice to her whole participation in the contest despite the low ranking and her trying to participate again soon seems a bit early. At least us fans can support her current works while she’s still doing good and being classy about it. Plus, Amandine + Stromae = Bliss.

Hi Wiwibloggs : this is a cover we did about the sweden’s song “Undo”
Amandine for Eurovision 2015 anyone?
This woman is too cool to function! 🙂
Good luck to her, it makes me wonder if in 2015 we will see more acts going down the gender bender path in the vortex of her and Conchita.

That was fantastic. She took a fairly I interesting song and turned it into something great.
