      it's really sad, he sings "father where are you", his father died in Rwandan Genocide. it must be a bittersweet feeling that this song has made it big, having to remind himself of that fact. just like Eric Clapton's Tears in Heaven being about his son who died tragically as a child

      Andrew Nguyen agreed on the "normal" part, but it all depends on how it went and how he says it. Or if he was rude or not. I just say it sounded (or was read) kind of that way. I admire the guy and would be heartbrokening if he treated his fans kind of bad.

      I mean, they don't see a music star they see some random lankey black guy they can't understand frankly dancing strangely on the street. (Not to be rude) Take a dose of context dude. Can't see talent when you see a guy with a synthesizer shouting nonsensical lyrics on the street in bright turquoise and orange with pics of a block man giving a block boy a piggy back ride. I'd see some weirdo tourist acting out for a laugh ala Logan Paul.

    Madonna and stromae already met 4 years ago. because they share the same dancers and choreographers. A lot of their dancers are always in Brussels and Paris. Not sure why some media act as if they met just last year or why stromae acted surprised on that tv show when they said M wants to see him. they already met before, lol. but it's all entertainment I guess.

      They are located in brussels one : Because Stromae is from Belgium, two ; because Madonna almost made her debut in Belgium before moving back to America when she was younger, her career started in France and Belgium (or almost did) and a lot of her dancers probably come from there too :)

      +Henry Ngo Suppose it is impossible to make the majority of a country know him just through festivals I suppose. Would think people would know him though when he was at Coachella, SXSW and more than one video with him on VEVO U.S. channel, even featuring on hot this week, also I believe he was on Jimmy Kimmel Live, PTX covered Papaoutai and also without forgetting Beats 1 Radio on iPhone etc. plays Stromae's music I believe. How many listeners does Beats 1 have? Perhaps people who listen to Beats 1 will recognise some of his songs but just don't know his name or what he looks like. I was confused the very first time I tried listening to Beats 1 and I heard Tous les mêmes I was quite surprised, thought that must be a positive sign for him. Sure he must be better known in U.S.A than in England. Was real shame when he had to pull out of probably his first festival in the UK, as well as being fifth down from the top of the lineup next to Clean Bandit and Jessie J, and likely on main stage even though hardly anybody knows him and his only song that charted and people know by him is Alors on Danse.
