Julien Doré as Lolita
It must be strange to listen to a young man sing Lolita.
Julien Doré, winner of Nouvelle Star season 5, the French version of UK’s “Pop Idol” or Germany’s “Deutschland sucht den Superstar,” captivated the public with his rendition of Alizee’s No. 1 hit “Moi…Lolita.”
The 25-year-old French singer’s entry to limelight might be accidental. He joined the much-hyped talent show in order to make a publicity for his own band Dig Up Elvis. Appearing with a ukulele, he also covered Britney Spears’ “Hit Me Baby One More Time” and Madonna’s “Like a Virgin.”
Right now he is earning the public attention due to his unusual yet naked version of “Moi..Lolita” that is currently enjoying its stay on European Singles Charts this week.
The grunge-faced Julien, rugged voice, stubbles and guitar, is also the great-great-great nephew of the French illustrator Gustave Doré, who happened to design the covers for such writers like Honore Balzac, Edgar Allan Poe and Lord Byron.
Not only his unpredictable interpretation is earning him accolades, the female swarm is also getting him. French Elle voted him as the “sexiest man of the year.” It was also rumoured that he posed for Playboy.
More about Julien the next coming days!
