Stromae. ❤ I don’t think Colbert’s audience realize how lucky they are for getting one ticket for two amazing performances. They truly won the lottery with this episode!
@@ItzKamo that’s their problem, that they don’t have Google translate or lyrics genius or anything like the internet to look up Stromae’s songs… sucks to be those ignoramuses
@@naomibee8881, I know. My point was that it’s great to see him perform in French in the US. He’s very popular here in Québec however, I doubt there’s much interest in the rest of Canada. So I am happy to see our neighbours appreciate his art.
@@fortierma64 Oh yes, huge fan of Stromae’s genius over here too! I heard him answer the question in an interview years ago, “Why not English?” - and his answer was beautiful, making it clear that the language is inextricably tied to the music and emotion of his art so he never switches it up. Blessings to you and yours in Canada! Bonne journée!
I highly recommend to everyone to listen to the whole album. The lyrics are great, luckily many songs are on RUclips with translation. Many songs reflect on different aspects of life and I guess many of us can relate to it. it feels like attending a therapy session, but due to the great music you end up dancing and singing while dealing with very serious topics, great masterpiece
I'm very happy I discovered him a few weeks ago and I'm even happier to find myself singing along with some of the more iconic chorus like santé and formidable even though I don't speak French
@@NuiYabuko original comment said he didn't really see anyone dancing to it. You could dance to it I suppose. Not something I would dance to myself. It is awe inspiring music however 👊🧡👍
Exactly, he was lauded as a break out genius, but the experience of the way he was treated with his success was to his detriment. I'm glad he is now coming back with his own rules and that he more protective of himself like a gen z.
I stumbled on him last week and I have binged his videos on RUclips. I recall telling my sister he had sad eyes and later read up on his absence from music and bout with depression. I am glad he is back, I love his music and the videos.
That's not true. The Brits are the number one butt of jokes around the world in the year 2022. Belgium/Brussels is Europe's Capital, seat of power. Be proud man.
Encore plus de force quand on sait qu'il chante à partir d'expériences personnelles. Pas de BS, du témoignage puissant d'un des meilleurs artistes vivants.
@@oboemoboe J'avais jamais entendu parler de cette artiste et je n'aurais jamais pensé de l'entendre sur un des Late Night Shows au Etats-Unis. Tres belle surprise.
L’enfer … the « Hell » The lyrics are wonderful. We live here on Earth… loosing the connection with others and even loosing the connection with ourselves…. Listening to the lies on the television and feeling guilty about everything…. Believing we are responsible for everything…Loosing the connection with ourselves. This is a form of Hell on Earth 🌍. May I pray to all of you who read this that we may not continue down this path anymore to Hell…. May we re-connect to our authentic selves, stop feeling guilty about everything and start to accept ourselves, forgive ourselves, love ❤ ourselves and then try and love one another.
I can't speak a lick of French, but Stromae is one of my favorite artists of all time. First song I ever heard was Papaoutai, then Tous Le Meme. Even if you can't understand the words, you understand the emotions in the words. Truly, a musical genius!
This audience is extremely lucky to watch such an incredibly talented artist. A TRUE CLASS ACT. His music, lyrics, style, musicians, and the way he carries himself are pure perfection. Thank you, Stromae for gracing us with your art. Thank you to the Late Show for recognizing a great performer.
So proud to see my fellow citizen, and home town Brussels’ native, Stromae at the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York with Stephen Colbert. And… we share the same given name! Not that it matters to anyone, but you know… hopefully the audience understands the lyrics, because they are very strong and honest.
Right! I remember coming across that music video several years ago and was amazed by his talent and how famous he was in Europe, but essentially unknown in the US.
What a great artist!! You don't have to know the language to feel deep in your heart what this song is about! 🥰 The raw talent, it's just extraordinary!!
Stromae! Yessss! Love this guy. A true and timeless talent. Even if you don't speak French, he's such an emotive performer that the music draws you in. Glad to see him out with new material.
the vice grip that Tous le Memes had on youtube in 2013 was astounding, I know Stromae hasn't gone anywhere but I'm excited to see him "back" after I was just revisiting that song yesterday :D

French language song on Colbert. This is a pleasant surprise, hearing my native language in a song on American television. Bravo Stephen, this made my week. Keep up the amazing work.
It's hard to expect Stromae to become a real music celebrity in the US given that most people over there don't speak French. Still, he keeps appearing here and there in America every now and then, which is not something that happens a lot to Francophone artists. I love his stuff and I'm happy American audience has a chance to get to know his art this way.
I don't think people realise how much of a musical genius Stromae actually is.
Papaoutai goated
re: your comment:
"I don't think people realise how much of a musical genius Stromae actually is."

Well, once you get to know his art... We all do.
If you don't understand french, it's gotta be hard. His lyrics can really be genius in some songs.
This dude is wack. Check out Sebastian Tellier performing Roche
Stromae. ❤ I don’t think Colbert’s audience realize how lucky they are for getting one ticket for two amazing performances. They truly won the lottery with this episode!

It's so great that Stromae is performing again!
And, performing in French! ❤️
@@fortierma64 bien sur!
@@fortierma64 He never performs any other way ❤

Wow… my 81 year old mother and I watched Stromae on Colbert and both fell in love. So much so that we’ve now got tickets to see him in concert ❤
I love that. I hope to be discovering new music when I'm in my 80s.
I did the same thing! I watched this performance, having never heard of him before, and 2 weeks later, I was in the audience at one of his concerts!
I highly recommend to everyone to listen to the whole album. The lyrics are great, luckily many songs are on RUclips with translation.

So true. This particular song is like Prozac but better. 👌💜💜
Just got to see him in San Francisco!... A dream come true. This song is achingly exquisite. Merci beaucoup, Stromae! J'adore!
I don’t speak the language but, it doesn’t matter. Stromae is one of my favorite performers.
I absolutely love Stromae! And this new song is fantastic. He's an incredibly talented musician and a first-rate entertainer.
our boy has made it!!
The Maestro kills it once again - such a creative musical genius
But i don't see anyone dancing in to his music
@@lawrup definitely not dance music lol... this is the kind of music you put on when you have completely lost it and are about to go on a streak.
Why wouldn’t you dance to l’enfer?
@@lawrup Are you saying good music is defined by whether its danceable or not?
Even then, you can very much dance to this.
@@NuiYabuko original comment said he didn't really see anyone dancing to it. You could dance to it I suppose. Not something I would dance to myself. It is awe inspiring music however 👊🧡👍
My favourite French-speaking artist ever 😍🔥!!! Thanks to allow to the French-speaking music to shine around the world 🇫🇷🇧🇪🇨🇦🇨🇭🙌🏿.
La Belgique REPRESENTE!!! STROMAE 🔥🤌🏼
I was in the audience for this, I'd never heard of Stromae before but have since corrected this oversight. What an incredible talent!
Lucky you! 🙂
I'm so envious. Loved his music for years but have never had a chance to see him live.
Oh wow! I’ve heard some of his more popular stuff in french class but I didn’t realize how good he is live
LOVE Stromae... so ecstatic to see him back performing and creating once again... musical genius!
Stromae!👏🏻👏🏻❤️This song is about depression and suicidal thoughts- how he worked himself through this dark times. A masterpiece!
Exactly, he was lauded as a break out genius, but the experience of the way he was treated with his success was to his detriment. I'm glad he is now coming back with his own rules and that he more protective of himself like a gen z.
This song because of the topic helped me a lot too when I needed it most he's a lyrical genius and doesn't shy away from heavy stuff
I stumbled on him last week and I have binged his videos on RUclips. I recall telling my sister he had sad eyes and later read up on his absence from music and bout with depression. I am glad he is back, I love his music and the videos.
Ok, that makes the drop make a lot more sense.
Aaaahhhhhh I love Stromae sooo much! Finally saw him live in Poland this August 😭😭😭
Saw him in Rwanda some years back and never quite got over the electric performance!
He's incredible. I'm so glad I stumbled upon him about 2 weeks ago. So much talent, and then that voice. Sublime
I'm so glad Colbert is giving one of the best music artists of this generation exposure in our country.
💔 heartbreaking words & music. I highly appreciate his talent!
He doesn't need any backup to be convincing. Love him more and more.
Cela me donne envie d'apprendre plus de français. Merci!
This inspires me to learn more French. Thanks!
Goddamn, genius camera work for this performance! Bravo!
Great that he was on this show!! He is exceptional. Well done Stephen Colbert!
I can't stop watching and listening to his music
Me too
this song reduces me to tears every time
Me too
Same here
So important that someone as huge as Stromae is talking about suicidal thoughts, love him and such a great song ❤
I had never heard of him until today. If someone had said I would enjoy this type of music, I would've never believed them.
Go have fun looking up his other music here on yt, you won't regret it.
@@goblinwisdom agreed!! He has so many amazing songs.
This type... u mean french
@@Notyourbusiness89 I just mean it is very different from my norm.
I'm seeing him in two days! I'm so excited!
ENJOY !!!!!
Omg I'm so jealous have an amazing time!!!
Stromae makes me so proud to be Belgian, we are the butt of the joke across the world because we are tiny, but he's a national treasure
You also have Rene Magritte and he was an amazing painter.
@@jonhinson5701 And Toots Thielemans ❤️
tiny but mighty
Als jullie die wegen van jullie fixen praten we verder 😉. On topic, hij is een legendarisch!
That's not true. The Brits are the number one butt of jokes around the world in the year 2022. Belgium/Brussels is Europe's Capital, seat of power. Be proud man.

Tu as entièrement raison!
Уникальная интеллектуальная личность. Этот парень тронул мои внутренние чувства.
He’s fantastic. This song makes me cry everytime I hear it. It’s so moving.
Stromae is one of those rare truly talented artists, glad he's also being appreciated in the English speaking world.
Stromae is not a musician. He's an artist. Highly recommend Papaoutai with english subtitles. This is a masterpiece
Beautiful Stromae...inside and out. I just love him so much! From a fellow Belgian.
Had to do a double take, it’s amazing that Stromae is performing again! I got hooked on Alors on danse, been a fan since. 🎉
The callback to the music video with the camera slowly panning out ahhhh I need to go watch it again now I love him so so much

Stromae needs more recognition in the states. Great Performance!
Stromae - musical genius. With best wishes from Russia. BRAVO
US people simply don’t get or know international megastars like STROMAE. They were incredibly fortunate to see this artist perform this song live!!!
He is an absolute genius of a musician. And, I do not throw that word around lightly when it comes to music. He is incredible.
This song is amazing. I'll admit I don't understand the words but the beat is fire and you can feel the emotion in his voice.
One of Belgium greatest. Always a pleasure to see him live.
I love that guy

I wanted a Stromae interview! 😢 Why didn’t you talk to him?? He is AMAZING.
AMAZING. Stromae is extraordinary
Saw him perform in LA and it was surreal ! I don’t speak the language but the feeling was there. ❤
Never seen or heard him before now. I hella love when someone is original, creates something pure. Yah, want more.
Je l'adore! I love him!
Maestro we love you. Always been the most underrated and greatest artist.
Stromae! Yessss! Love this guy. A true and timeless talent. Even if you don't speak French, he's such an emotive performer that the music draws you in. Glad to see him out with new material.
Man ... I can't believe you got him on your show. So cool. I would love to see Stromae live!
that was legit - I have never heard of this person but that was ridick good
Gem 💎
STROMAE!!! amazing you brought them on.

Love love love Stromae!! ❤
Great performance😍😍😍. His voice is so good and he looks great 🔥. We love you maestro 🫡
Lots of deserved praise for the performance, not enough for that camerawork! I can't imagine the effort involved in pulling that off live!
I love Stomae and this song hit home in a different way. May he have continued success
This was awesome - seeing him at The Garden next week with my daughter. Can’t wait! He is an unbelievable talent and such an amazing person!
He deserves an interview 😊
Stromae is the epitome of GENIUS and great storyteller! All the late night tv hosts should have him on their show.
This guy is pure genius, truly amazing maestro ❤
Child, that was an amazing performance 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Love Stromae
Stromae I love ur voice,u go from glory to Gloryyyyyyy
Oh he has such a beautiful voice..love this.
J'adore 💋😭
Lyrics in engllish
[Verse 1]
I'm not alone in feeling all alone
And that's already something less in my head
And if I counted all the people like me
We'd be many
Everything I've been thinking about
It's crazy how many people have thought just the same
But even that doesn't help me feeling less alone
Actually
[Chorus]
I've considered suicide a few times
And I'm not proud of it
Sometimes you feel it'd be the only way to silence them
All thesе thoughts putting me through hell
All thesе thoughts putting me through hell
[Verse 2]
Am I the only one with the TV on
Watching the Guilt Trip Show?
Well you should change channels sometimes
Although not too often
Otherwise it will send your head spinning again
And it'll be too late to stop it
That's precisely when I'd like to make it all disappear
Actually
[Chorus]
I've considered suicide a few times
And I'm not proud of it
Sometimes you feel it'd be the only way to silence them
All these thoughts putting me through hell
All these thoughts putting me through hell
[Verse 3]
You know, I've pondered the issue
And I really don't know what to do with you
Considering the issue
That's exactly what the issue is with you
You know, I've pondered the issue
I really don't to know what to do with you
Considering the issue
That's exactly what the issue is with you
French language song on Colbert. This is a pleasant surprise, hearing my native language in a song on American television. Bravo Stephen, this made my week. Keep up the amazing work.
Wow !
Tellement fière de le voir chez Colbert ! Que de chemin parcouru...
Stromae is a Maestro. Pure genius.
Stromae out here blessing the uninitiated!!!!!!!!!!!! Viva Stromae!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow... what a treat!
Such a great artist and performer. Glad to see him on this show.
Never heard of him but so glad I have now.
CHECK OUT ALL HIS MUSIC AND FIND THE LYRICS IN ENGLISH......HE IS EVERYTHING
Beautiful
World class, top notch, all that. And more.
He is a 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Another Belgian talent❤️
I’m surprised he only has 1.8 million followers on Instagram , I would think he’s way more popular in French speaking countries
this song, the lyrics, the perfomance, just brilliant
thank you stephen for putting artists like stromae and BTS on his show, UNIVERSAL!!
It's hard to expect Stromae to become a real music celebrity in the US given that most people over there don't speak French. Still, he keeps appearing here and there in America every now and then, which is not something that happens a lot to Francophone artists. I love his stuff and I'm happy American audience has a chance to get to know his art this way.
Le meilleur, le maestro. ❤
The musical genius that is StroMae ❤️
Wow. Great performance, and Stephen, give your cameraman a raise for that nice seamless shot!
One of my favorite artists❤Stromae👏👏👏👏
Such a beautiful face and a beautiful voice. Thank you, Stromea
I love him so much. I love his as an artist, genius, and I think he's a great person.
I want more Stromae.
