在众国家各式各样的歌唱选秀节目当中 Christophe Willem大概是少数长的一点都不偶像的男歌手冠军 说老实话我并没有看歌唱选秀节目的习惯 所以对于这种节目出来的歌手我也不会多加注意 了不起看看排行表现如何，但并不是主动找歌来听 当然同样的情况一开始也发生在我对Christophe Willem的态度上 一直到某天，一位平常并不常听英文歌的大学同学突然在msn上 问我有没有听过Christophe Willem的歌 我当时愣了一下，很意外她会知道Christophe Willem的名字 而且更令我吃惊的是，她竟然已经是Christophe Willem的歌迷 就在她不断传很多YouTube的link给我看之后 我也渐渐喜欢这位长相有点奇怪，但却拥有美妙声音的歌手 他那忽男忽女的歌声更是让人过耳不忘

Count Christophe Willem among the myriad young singers launched to fame via the reality TV phenomenon of the early 21st century. Born in Enghien-les-Bains, France, on August 3, 1983, Willem studied piano as a child, later singing as a member of the gospel choir Young Voices. At 14, he composed his first original pop songs. In 2004 Willem starred in the feature film Alive, but his acting career soon stalled and he worked a series of odd jobs while pursuing a degree in communications. On the encouragement of family and friends he auditioned for the 2006 series of the French television amateur showcase Nouvelle Star and quickly proved a fan favorite, earning the nickname "La Tortue" ("The Turtle") from judge Marianne James. Willem eventually bested rival Dominique Michalon for the Nouvelle Star crown, and in May 2006 issued his debut solo LP, J'irai Chanter, scoring a Top Five single with "Sunny." Inventaire followed in the spring of 2007, debuting atop the French charts.
