Our favourite french singer and song (part II)

For this new school year, we have chosen a Belgian artist, called Stromae (it is the reversed syllables for maestro).
Belgium has given many famous "French" singer (it means who sing in French) such as Salvatore Adamo, Axelle Red, Lara Fabian, Annie Cordy and, of course, Johnny Halliday and above all Jacques Brel.
Stromae is a young  rap artist who met early success with his hit "alors on danse" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9yzoTHP9HY)
    
He has recently presented his new EP "racine carrée". It contains our present favourite song : "Formidable". It is about a painful breakup. The videoclip is quite amazing when you know that it was entirely filmed with an hidden camera.
