Star Academie TV Show - Quebec
|
Hey Everybody, or perhaps I should say bonjour mes amis.
Long before Styx was able to sell platinum albums and headline concert tours in the USA, we were able to accomplish these things in Canada. How so you ask? Well, I answer, the French Canadians of Montreal and Quebec City, radio station CHOM and a little song called Suite Madame Blue. That song was so embraced by our friends to the North that it turned Equinox into a multi platinum album, our first anywhere in the world. When released in the states Equinox didn't even reach gold. In America we continued to work our way up the ladder by being the support act for Kiss, Aerosmith, ZZ Top, etc., while we were true headliners in Canada. Remarkably, a recent poll in Quebec found Suite Madam Blue number three on the all time list of favorite songs behind Stairway to Heaven and Hotel California. |
| Because of this, Canadians and especially French Canadians will always be dear to my heart. When we played The Forum in Montreal for the first time, the entire audience stood with lighters in hand and sang every word to Suite Madam Blue, Because of that, I knew success would soon be ours! |
| Once again the French Canadiens have shown their love and support for my music. I recently appeared on a TV show in Montreal called Star Academie. It's a combination of American Idol and Fame all rolled into one. My good friend Paul Jessop from Universal Canada arranged my performance through Patrick Binnette and Julie Snyder the host of the show. I'd like to thank everyone at Star Academie, the contestants, Scott and the band, Julie, and of course the people of Quebec for their unbelievable response to my performance and the upcoming concerts, and all the support from my good friends at CHOM radio....and DEP.

MERCI BEAUCOUP
