Waleska & Efra react to Stromae - Papaoutai (Clip Officiel) | REVIEW/ REACTION 

Send us your requests on Twitter ✌❤ mobile.twitter.com/feature_friday

About the song Papaoutai, to give you some backstory about Stromae: Stromae's dad was actually killed in Rwanda's genocide in 1994 while he was visiting his family there, his mom only told him the truth about it a few years later when he was 12 years old, but his dad was already an absent figure in Stromae's life before that.

me as a belgium originated person feeling proud even tho i did nothing

I think you would like his song "Carmen". It's about the impact of social media in our lives and in the song he is especially talking about Twitter. It's personally one of my favorites from him And another one of his hit songs is "Formidable" if you could check it out too I love the fact that you are so open-minded about music all around the globe. I truly appreciate it keep going ❤❤❤

Papaoutai is a french contraction of " daddy where are you?"

Stromae has been taking a break since 2016, I think for health reasons, he had a burnout and needed to take care of himself and rest, and he also started a family, but he isn't completely out of the music scene, he has a music label and has been producing music for other artists.

Omg i was waiting for thissssss

Stromae - Tous les mêmes Stromae - Carmen Stromae - Quand ces't? Stromae - formidable O Stromae é incrível! As letras das músicas tem algumas críticas, ele é muito criativo e se entrega ao papel de cada canção ... acho que ele é um artista incrível e completo...adoraria ver vocês reagindo a mais músicas dele... Bjs💕💕💕

It is true that Stromae had health problems and depression. But maybe today the real reason for his absence. It's because he wants to be a "papa". Be there for his son.

YEEEEEEES! I'm so glad you guys liked it ☺️ Stromae is definitely a genius. Please watch the music video for "Carmen", "Ta Fête", "Formidable" and "Ave Cesaria". You will a range of great rythms and meaningful songs too.

For the story of the artist. He started as an unknown belgian rapper. Then made his first and biggest break through (first that made it really around the world, i remember at that time having friends in Medellin listening to it) with the clip "alors on danse" in a completely different musical type, kind of a hangover, drinking to forget the monotony of life. All the music of that first clip, was actually made by him with only his computer, super low budget. Then made the 2 clips you just made the reaction videos. He made also one clip for the world cup and finished his singles with the song "formidable" (wonderful). That he released the clip like it was some kind of news and not like a clip, starting with him drunk in the streets but filmed like it was random people filming, showing the downfall of a celebrity and people reaction to it, without the music and it made to the news like "Stromae drunk in the streets of Brussels". Probably his biggest genious act, everybody fall for it. And then the day after, he released the real clip and people understood, it was just a setup. Then a few months later, he announced he retires from the showbiz, saying he wanted to be an anonymous people again (it was 5 years ago). He kind of delivered all the messages he wanted to deliver through his music.... so I doubt you'll ever hear about him after that.

Pls react to stromae "Carmen", "quand c’est?",and also "formidable" these are my favs🥺😭😭😭🖤

Omg when you said papatoi, I was like where the hell did they read papatoi. I m dyinggg

Everybody is giving you titles of the best Stromae's album, but they're forgetting his N°1 hit (or at least the first): "Alors on danse" (so we dance)

This was such a great reaction, your comments about how the "wax figure" also represents idealistic representations of fathers that real people can't live up to were so striking. I love this song but I hadn't ever actually considered that part of the narrative before. Thanks for the cool thoughts!

The most beautiful song he done is "formidable". The clip was made in hyde camera. Sorry for my english.

I've been waiting for this the longest ☺️🙏🏽

I really like the way you are analyzing the songs, I'm a new fan ❤️ thank you for being so smart and adorable (sorry I'm French my english is bad)

Stromae has also, with his wife, created a clothing brand. He stopped music a few years ago after a huge burn out: too much pressure, anxiety...

Hi guys ! You should react to Hamza 🇧🇪 "Dale x Love Therapy" featuring Aya Nakamura 🇫🇷! It's so dope !!!

Fun fact: the name Stromae is maeStro flipped Great reaction! For a long long time I was obsessed with this song that even learned the lyrics because I couldn't get it out of my head For next reaction I recommend Carmen or Formidable, but you could really react to anything from him and I wouldn't be mad Also, the chord progression and arrangements that stromae uses are really interesting for me too! So intricate thanks for noticing

Just for you to know, Stromae has made a burn out and has been sick, he stopped his musical career. We still hope he comes back... but for now, no new song. (Oh and it's like maestro but you switch the syllables for the prononciation ^^)

He has released a new album this year, "l'enfer" was the first song that we discovered and the release of the album was really original.

The way you analyse not only the video with the colors, the scenery and the choreography but also the music and the lyrics is EVERYTHING !

He actually stopped doing music videos because the stress was so much, he wasn't happy and that was the reason he started it, to do what makes him happy. He was always thinking what to do next. Then he decided to keep doing music but just for his clothing line. He has an online store and promote it with music created for it. He also stopped using personal social media. It was very sad for me when I found that out. HE is my favorite artist of all times.

I'm not one for leaving comments often but I had to stop to thank you guys for delivering such interesting content and commentary ! Truly rare but much appreciated, could listen to you guys for hours. Have a good day ;-)

You both are so funny man kkkkkkkkk, great! love you guys (liked and subscribed!)

I love your reviews. Keep em coming!

Love your Stromae review videos guys, I'm French and have known this man's art since it came out, I'm a fan! I wish more people knew about him. Your commentary is really good, really interesting! Love to see curious people like you ;)

Luv this💕

Just a perfect reaction to this Video! Keep going guys 🤘🏼

By far my favourite song and clip by Stromae is Quand c'est. It gives me goosebumps every time. Also his lyrics are just phenomenally poetic. I discover something new every time.

when you said you got hard time learning french in school, it remember me this new-york taxi's driver who explain how numbers from 0 to 100 are made in french, and thats pretty hilarious ! name of the video is "counting to 100 in french with a nyc cabbie" you should check it out ! :D

Aaaaaaaaaaaa meu Deussss ! Esperei tanto por issooo! Obrigada por reagir .... love you💛💛

ugh fantastic artist! the album that this song is on is one of my favorite albums of all time!!

OMG this is one of my favorite french songs

Come on bro, learning a language could be super funny. If you listen to french music, watch french movies and do cool things in french you'll make fast progresses👍😁

I think he said once that lyrics in the songs he makes are very sad yet the beat is so exciting and makes you dance because he wants everyone to find themselves in his songs

Super vidéo! I love it . Hello from Reunion Island !✌🏽

You have to react to 'Formidable' by Stromae !!

Mdr sa fait tellement longtemps Papaoutai c'est vu et revu

The son blames his dad for being cold unlike other happy families, the son tried to motivate his dad at the end but it was a short term till the son gave up and gradually became like his dad.. It's very sad and meaningful story, Stromae voice and music is something else

You've to check "Formidable", hiding camera clip video ! It's just breathtaking !

I love this song sooo much! Please react to more from him 😍

Omg I remember when I watched this when I was younger it’s been som years now 😭

Omg i passed the intro and I was surprised when you laughs so I drop my phone lol that's scared me

I first heard this song a long time ago when i watched a lot of les twins and it popped up in my feed. Completely forgot about it till now.

This is such a good song❤

Ohh finally this bop who made me dance to it in clubs for years

J’adore leur bonjour 🥰

Great reaction ! Do more from him please !! By the way it's pronounced STRO-MAH-EY, it's maestro but inverted

He stopped music from now, he is sensible man. And the huge success he had put him a little be down... But he did something withe Coldplay.... And he is a cloths disigner now! As a Belgium we so proud fo him and we can't wait to see him back

Stromae c'est clairement un génie 👌💃

His Father was killed in 1994 in the war in RWANDA between Tutsi and Hutu, lots of Tutsis was killed . Stromae (Maestro) real name is Paul Van Haver, his Mother is Belgian and his Father was Rwandian

hes working in fashion. he has a song/ music video and its his runway i recommend to watch it. its called Defiler

You have to know this guy is a fuck*** genius. All his texts have a hidden meaning. They all speak about tough subjects beautifully with expressions and meaning games its brilliant. Watch Carmen, Quand c'est, Ta fête, Formidable and all of his songs you will not be disappointed

I guess the "most recent" song that he posted out, and well this was in 2018 was Défiler and well its such a great song talking about how people try to conform to what is seen as perfect and what not and how it isnt really worth it because youll never be what youre aiming to look like because you arent that person. Also to any native french speaker I only know so much french so please correct me if I am wrong thanks 👍

Please react to Quand c'est and formidable by Stromae!

React to the whole "racine carrée" album!!!

He got few yet incredible music videos I can’t recommend one over another cuz they’re all fantastic!! You should really watch them all!!

Stromea's name comes from jumbling the word Maestro and his music is a mix of African Rhythms and French chansons. This song was dedicated to his father who was murdered during the genocide in Rwanda. He was one of the last bastions of Belgian music. We still have some great artists, like Triggerfinger who are mainly a rock cover band but have some really good tracks of their own like Triggerfinger ft. Method Man - The One.

Please react to Stromae-Formidable! Please, please, please, please!!!

It's a big message even when I play this song and whatch this video I cry cause It's like a cool water on you

He did a burnout, then he retired form singing etc but recently he appeared and did the music in Orelsan - La pluie

I teach history and when I get to Belgium I always show this to my students. It doesn't match up to Medieval History, yet the message it great!

The last song he did was Défiler, which was released back in 2018. Amazing song & video clip.

I love your accent mate it's brilliant

Amazing

You might like to take a look at his 'Alors On Danse' which you may recognise - it was a bit hit in Europe. It's earlier than the songs from his 'Racine Carrée' album you're watching at the moment. Other than that, I like 'Ave Cesaria' ..

I'm Glad YT recommended this to me

how am i just finding out that you live in london i was thinking efra sounded british this entire time but i thought maybe you just sound like you are but you aren’t idk lol 😭 learning so much today

Hi guys, I really love your video's, very interesting and fun to watch. In this song and video there were some major contributions from US-American dancer Tight Eyez and Congolese legend Papa Dizzy. The director is Adam Nael. I know you can't cover everything in a video, but please remember and remind your audience that music and especially videos are often created by a whole team of people, that absolutely deserve the credit. Some artists even give complete freedom to video directors but end up receiving all the credits for the story and visuals. Besitos from Belgium 🇧🇪😘

He is so creative and talented

First time I saw this, I thought it was weird. Read and understood the lyrics, watched the MV again and it made me tear up.

En fait ils parlent comme si ils avaient fait une découverte extraordinaire et découvert un nouveau talent 😂😂

You know guys, he's considered as the spiritual son of JACQUES BREL : Track like NE ME QUITTE PAS... is iconic from french music from the 50's

One of my favorite 💜🧡💚🧡💖💘💞💛💓💝😅💕💕💕💕💪💪🦵

GUYS YOU MIGHT WANNA CHECK ONE OF HIS GREAT SO CALLED CAMERA CACHE (HIDDEN CAMERA)PERFORMANCES ON A FRIDAY AFTERNOON IN THE MONTREAL METRO.THE SONG IS CALLED FORMIDABLE"WONDERFUL"

I love this song I'm from algeria ♥♥

I think you guys would enjoy Pentatonix' acapella version of this song. Amazing cover.

You should react to a french singer who started on The Voice France, then participated in the Eurovision his name is Bilal Hassani he has some very cool songs you should check him out

Bonjour , i m french ( teacher ) : yes papa ou t’es ? Papa where are you ? ( he is half Belgium and he is father died in Africa during a war ) usually the stromae sings are sad even if the music make you wanna dance ... sorry for my English ( the French are bad with the English ) , know he is goes true a big depression so we waiting a new songs from him he’s unique . I subscribe to this channel because of Dimash ❣️ gros bisou de France 🇫🇷❣️

Stromae - Quand c’est ? Pure Art

I'm a polyglot(born and raised in Mauritius) and I love your reactions to music sung in French. I always wanted to learn spanish but can't do the 'r' sound(pigeon like). Don't give up on French man, it's through hardship that you become better. I also admire seeing you, siblings, getting along well compared to my relationship with my sister. You guys could react to : Stromae - Formidable Bigflo & Oli - Bienvenue chez moi Gims ft. Sofiane - Arafricain Bigflo & Oli - Nous aussi Lartiste - Chocolat feat. Awa Imani Bigflo & Oli - INSOLENT #2 MHD - Bravo Bigflo & Oli - Rentrez chez vous Sofiane - Tout l'monde s'en fout Bigflo & Oli - Dommage Dedication to Waleska: Lara Fabian - Aime Celine Dion - S'il suffisait d'aimer Zaho - Je te promets "Bonne continuation à vous deux".

This one of my favourite stromae songs

Stromae is a real genius of our time

Stromae stops his career because he feels he has nothing to say anymore and the industry was a little bit hard on him, as an artist it was a lot to deal with so he just stops. He said that if one day he has new materials maybe he come back but in a different way. Love that guy, he's such an inspiration !

You have to do all his song x)

Where are you dad.this m'y favere.song.j'adore les chansons de stomaï.très bonne réaction continuez.

Tenéis que ver el live de unos premios.. donde el entra como maniquí.

She is so cute 🥰😂

You got it. You understood. Good job. Papa oo tay it's pronounced. Also check for Carmen. Te Quiero and Ave Cesaria

I saw the father as a mannequin, but a wax figure makes complete sense

formidable by stromae

Stromae was def ahead of his time by farrrr

Another great Belgian artist is Lous and the Yakuza. You guys should definitely check out her Tout est gore and dilemme videos

Hi, I love your comments on Stromae. Unfortunately he had a burn out few years ago and quit his absolutely great career as a sing and creator. He started a clothes brand with his wife... 😉

It's the reverse of MAESTRO , that pronounce Straw Ma Hey !!! You should react to an another song of this Belgium guy , "Quand c'est" , it's about the Cancer (Quand c'est it's two word that real close in the pronouncation to Cancer). For the record , before being a singer , he was a beatmaker for famouse rapers.

Welcom to Belgium 🤗

HAHA i'm dead Papa ou tai (papaoutai) means daddy where are you
