For those who don’t know the show, we see celebrities, who are dressed up, sing in front of judges. And there’s a process of elimination among the worst singers in the group. I won’t hide anything from you tonight: Georges wasn’t the best. Like when he was rapping alongside Maxime Truman, in the background?But he knows it. He’s the first to admit it: he’s not a singer. It’s easy to talk since I certainly couldn’t have done any better, but it was Laraque who was the singer who left the competition tonight following his performance. content-ads]It’s no surprise to anyone that the former NHL player didn’t say no to the opportunity to go on the show, and that he had fun doing it. He had this to say on the subject

: “It was really sick. You have another proof that I’m not afraid of the ridiculous.”

If I’d been in his shoes, I’d have needed even more editing to sound “right”, I think. But even so, I’ll say this: Don’t give up your day job, big!

Jean-François Mercier, Simon Boulerice and Hugo Girard were names that came up when it came time for the judges to guess Laraque’s identity. AnoukMeunier (half) and Stéphane Rousseau guessed his identity.
