In case you missed it - Starmania 2022 - Acte 2

Same deal as with Acte 1 -- stuff that might be widely known or not, but which I'm writing down for future reference and so we can compare notes! :p

Needless to say, just like part 1 but also maybe even more so, this is FULL OF SPOILERS, so if you want to preserve the mystery or find out for youself etc., do not read it! :p

Y'a de la police dans toute la ville

There are two magazines, one with each Stella on the cover (I think it's the same picture as the one they use for the Stella portrait that's hanging in her villa)

Obviously the whole "boulevard du crépuscule" thing is a ref to the last scene of "Sunset Boulevard" (1950) during which ageing ex-star Nora Desmond descends the grand staircase of her own villa to get her infamous "closeup with Mr DeMille"; except she's actually insane and is being arrested and led to jail for murdering someone. This is not specific to the 2022 version but it does explain its passion for stairs in the Stella villa!

Les adieux/Le télégramme

On top of Stella's piano: some sculptures (awards?), the same portrait of her (twice I think) + an image of her sitting on a moon. I don't know if that's about anything in particular, but it always makes me think of Sabrina Lory sitting on a star in Starmania 1989.

The telegram that the maid brings has the actual text handwritten on it.

Speaking of the maid, I've mentioned it before but as far as I can tell the rule for who's playing is: Maag!Stella with Jeanne!Maid, Jeanne!Stella with Alice!Maid, and sometimes Gabrielle fills in for the maid if Jeanne or Alice aren't up to it I guess! I've never actually seen Alice be Maag's maid but I know it's happened.

The face acting of the maid is so funny always -- she goes from incredulity (at what Zéro is saying and at the fact that Stella seems taken by it) to anger, and then at the very end ("Devant la destinée...") she facepalms with the telegram in hand.

Trio de la jalousie

The camerawoman who films Cristal's message (and it's always been a woman as far as I know, for reasons that used to be unclear to me but are now obvious) is actually being stashed in the trunk of the car; one of the Etoiles Noires gets her out, and puts her back inside at the end.

The car is being driven by a stage tech

During William!Johnny days, you can still see him as an Etoile Noire in the background of Cristal's recorded message that airs during the Zéro Janvier meeting

Obvious but didn't really really compute for me for a bit, this scene shows not only the break between Johnny and Sadia, but also the departure of a bunch of Etoiles Noires who leave with her.

Meeting de Zéro Janvier

The flag bearers, who are dancers, mouth the "payapapa, zéro janvier président de l'occident" bits but none of them is mic-ed, the sounds comes from the wings, as do almost all additional vocals which are done live from the "choir cabin" or a stand-alone mic, as seen here with Jeanne Jerosme doing the Stone harmonies (I'm guessing) or Aurel during (David's Blues??)

Depending on the day and the Zéro, there are hints of violence in the way Zéro handles Stella -- he's all smiles when introducing her to the crowd, but sometimes you get a burst of anger or brutality in the way he grabs her arm and releases it, which is super chilling.

If you focus on Stella's face during the presentation of Zéro's agenda, it takes you on a real journey of realization of what, exactly, she hitched her wagon to. Big "YIKES" energy!

La procession du Gourou/Sex shops (instrumental)

Some people never appear in this scene, whether they're playing their main roles that day or not. As far as I can tell, that's Simon, Alex, Côme and Miriam. I think I've seen everyone else at least once, and some people more than seems logical (as previously mentioned, William is part of the procession even on the days where he's being Johnny, which makes no sense and has not been explained to me in any satisfying way yet :p) I've heard of Côme being in it exactly once, but frankly I'll believe it when I see it :p (it was a Sat afternoon on tour when some dancers were off and someone from the cast was in the audience, so I guess they could have been short-staffed!)

As a consequence, according to Simon himself, this scene features some pre-recorded background vocals. I guess there aren't enough people off-stage to really make it sound the way it should!

The choreography of the scene changed partway through the first tour, with Stella dancing much less and doing more of a confused "where am I, what's going on, who are these people" sort of thing. I thought it worked really well; I think it's due to Maag's physical injury which might have made it difficult for her to do the full cardio-heavy choreography.

The Gourou's magical apparition trick is very simply done by having whoever is doing gourou show up straight from the back of the stage, crouching, while the lights distract you

The Gourou and Stella share a microphone during that scene; she obviously can't dance with a mic in her hand. After this scene, the maid brings Stella her mic back at the same time as her shawl during "Le retour à la villa"

During Sex Shops you can make out the silhouette of the "agent secret" looming in the background and stalking around the stage. Dancers mime more or less explicit sex acts (I've seen people full on wanking, or making obscene tongue wags while kneeling in front of Stella)

Le retour à la villa/Ego Trip

The main brings Stella her shawl (the same one she has over her head during the Act 1 Stella at the Underground Café cameo??)

in the few seconds of the ramp-up to "Retour à la villa," Stella usually messes up her hair more to really make the "J'arrive de chez mon coiffeur" line ultra funny.

The secret agent/maid side-show during Ego Trip: starts with awkward flirtation, sometimes born out of concern if, for example, Zero throws Stella's black dress directly at the maid. They disappear behind the stairs where the Agent takes off part of his costume/unfastens his belt, and then starts with the maid getting some nice oral on the stairs (stage left) which isn't always visible depending on where you're sitting :p Jeanne said that this was initially improv by her and Aurel which Thomas Jolly decided to keep :p Finally when they're at the top of the stairs, still fearing discovery, the maid collapses into the agent's arms.

Coup d'éclat/Plus rien à perdre

The last of the Etoiles Noires can be seen exiting the "hangar" at the beginning of the scene, implying that Johnny and Cristal really are alone in their plot.

I don't think we need to talk about The Kissing in detail; suffice to say that one of the possible combinations of Johnny/Cristal is an IRL couple and it shows by how they just, like, fully Go For It in front of God, 5000+ audience members, and their colleagues all watching them from the choir cabin. The other combinations vary between "pretty convincing stage kiss" (Côme/Gabrielle) and "no kiss" (William/Gabrielle, and I've been told William/Lilya). When I saw William and Gabrielle, she sometimes unzipped her top so he could nuzzle her neck; I've seen some butt grabbing by William and have been told of at least one forehead kiss (??).

During the bit where Johnny has his hand around Cristal's neck, Lilya and Gabrielle play it a bit differently: Lilya usually leans away from Johnny in a sort of "you're strangling me" pose, while Gabrielle initially leans back into him, sometimes closes her eyes to show she's enjoying the moment. It gives their Cristals a slightly different flavour whereas the rest of their interpretation is on the whole pretty close.

At the end of the Monopolis reprise, gentleman Johnny escorts Cristal into the car before driving off, somehow handling the driving in reverse, the singing and the mic holding!!

Monopolis hologram

The hologram is wearing France Gall's iconic gold lamé suit from her own Cristal days, but as far as I know, the pose (sitting on a stool which is really, physically present on stage) was created for the show, possibly using this tv appearance as a reference.

Marie-Jeanne taps the "frame" to "turn off" France Gall at the end of the number.

Départ de Ziggy/Nos planètes se séparent/Les uns contre les autres

Obviously there's a whole visual metaphor with Marie-Jeanne and Ziggy orbiting each other, but on different planes, and then being separated from each other by the rays of light which act like bars.

When the rest of the characters show up, they're set up as couples which reinforce the dynamics of the end of the show: Johnny/Cristal, Zero/Sadia and Gourou/Stella.

The whole Naziland bit

All of this is VERY subject to day-to-day variations, because there are so many people on stage doing so much at all times, I think they're all freer to change stuff a bunch!

There are a LOT of little easter eggs hidden throughout the Naziland bit, which change depending on which dancers/singers are on stage that day, and also I guess depending on their moods! You can spot people making out in alcoves (usually Malaika and whoever isn't doing Johnny) and being spied on by Louise; a dancer standing on his head being served a glass of champagne upside down; dancers using Ambriel or Miriam's massive black hat as a prop for various shenanigans. Some people are smoking electronic cigarettes, others are doing lines of coke (usually dancer Louis in his purple suit; sometimes Malaika), we've seen William sprinkling something into Ambriel's glass... I'm sure there's more I've never seen, and also there will be more/different ones if the cast changes!

When Zéro and Stella show up, initially she refuses a drink from the waiter and pretty much gets one shoved into her hand anyway. Then while Sadia is telling Zéro about the Etoiles Noires, Stella gets swept away by a dancer and only reappears, stumbling already, for the final "cheers" with Zéro at the end of the song.

While Zéro is getting congratulated for winning, I've seen (not every time) Ziggy come down from his DJ tower to congratulate him and get kicked away like a dog by Zéro.

Le rêve de Stella

In the transition towards the Rêve, the troupe walks upstage sort of in slow-motion and slow-dances for the first few seconds of the song; this is another moment where you can definitely spot the cast's real-life couples getting it on :p

At the end of the Rêve, Stella "disappears" through the cunning use of a spotlight being turned off (topical), a tech hanging out in the tower and grabbing her hand to guide her back into the alcove and then a black sheet being pulled in front of her to make her "invisible."

Everyone's seen Stella's shredded dress caught on the tip of the star, right? RIGHT?? We all get it? (You'd be surprised!! lol)

La mort de Cristal/SOS/Stone

During the bass-heavy transition after the Rêve, you can see Johnny and Cristal inside the structure, holding the bomb together

Sequence of events once the structure splits into halves and they get out: PREMIERES (thanks @braimee for bringing this to my attention): [missing bit I've never seen] Johnny is kneeling at the front of the stage while Cristal goes upstage with the bomb. She gets shot and falls down. Johnny scrambles to her, lifts her up in his arms (effortfully lol), she does "Au secours..." and dies. He sets her down as a high-pitched "flatline" sound is hear, and then starts SOS. LATER ON: they both kneel around the bomb -- Cristal touches Johnny on the arm -- sometimes they share a chaste kiss or she touches his face like, "hey, be careful" -- they stand up -- JOHNNY STARTS TO LEAVE ALONE WITH THE BOMB -- Sadia comes out on the structure and shoots Cristal. This makes it 50x more tragic still because to me, it means Johnny, who was only into the bomb idea to please Cristal, takes the risk on himself and leaves her behind so she can be safer, and that's what dooms her. AUGH.

Côme is right-handed and William is left-handed; their Cristals fall to their deaths on opposite sides so they can hold their mics with their dominant hands.

Not positive but guessing Johnnies pull their mics from the same place they put them back in at the end of the curtain call: a little custom pocket in the black pants. Actually @braimee reminded me that Cristal has a mic, as she does her heartbreaking "Au secours..." bit before falling over, and so presumably Johnny then uses that same mic for the song! Thanks! :D

During Stone if you're on the side you can see techs scattering the black shreds of paper in front of big fans to blow up into the smoke like "debris/birds."

The lighting/staging at the end of Stone is very similar, if not identical, as the one at the end of "La Complainte" -- you get to decide what that means to you :p

And of course, Act 1 ended in an explosion of hearts while Act 2 ends in an actual explosion #symmetry

Annnnnd I think that's it??? Please don't hesitate to let me know if you read these to the end haha, and what you thought/what I missed etc.!

Emirates, 2023 Kral Salman Kupası’nın remi havayolu ana sponsoru oldu

Emirates, Suudi Arabistan Futbol Federasyonu ile yaptığı anlaşma kapsamında, 2023 yılında düzenlenecek olan Kral Salman Kupası’nın ana sponsoru oldu. Bu anlaşma, Emirates’in Suudi Arabistan’daki varlığını ve bölgedeki futbol tutkusunu desteklemeyi amaçlıyor.

Kral Salman Kupası, Suudi Arabistan’ın en prestijli futbol turnuvasıdır. 32 takımın katıldığı bu turnuvada, şampiyon olan takım hem büyük bir ödül kazanıyor hem de AFC Şampiyonlar Ligi’ne katılma hakkı elde ediyor.

Yeni sponsorluk, havayolunun, profesyonel spor alanında küresel bir merkez olma hedeflerine ulaşmak için Suudi Arabistan’ın 2030 Vizyonu’nu destekleme çabalarıyla uyumludur. Anlaşma ayrıca, Arap Dünyası’ndaki 16 üst düzey bölgesel kulübün hayran kitlesiyle bağlantı kurmaya yönelik havayolunun süregelen taahhüdünü vurguluyor. Duyuru, bugün Cidde’de yapılan bir basın toplantısında açıklandı.

Emirates Havayolları Suudi Arabistan Ülke Başkanı Jabr Al-Azeeby, yeni ortaklık hakkında şunları söyledi: “Emirates, spor dünyasında en büyük isimlerden biridir ve futbol alanında büyük bir rol oynamaktadır.

Sponsorluk anlaşması, Emirates’e King Salman Cup’ta bir dizi temas noktasında kapsamlı bir stadyum marka görünürlüğü sağlıyor. Turnuva 27 Temmuz’da başlayacak ve 12 Ağustos’a kadar Abha, Albaha ve Ta’if’teki stadyumlarda gerçekleştirilecek. Havayolu ayrıca turnuva alanında tanıtım fırsatları ve konukseverlik hakları elde edecek.

King Salman Cup 2023, Arap Dünyası’nın resmi kulüp şampiyonası olup, Arap Futbol Birliği Federasyonu (UAFA) tarafından düzenlenmektedir. Turnuva kapsamında, Körfez İşbirliği Konseyi ve Kuzey Afrika’daki liglerin en üst düzeyindeki 16 kulüp, şampiyonluk için 31 maçta karşı karşıya gelecek.
