----------------------------------------

Here's the translation for those who don't speak french, enjoy ;) :

Reporter: So you didn't come alone, you've brought your guitar.

ViRGiNiE: Yes.

Reporter: You've liked to compose for a while now. Can you tell us how you've come to this, what made you start playing ?

ViRGiNiE: Well, I started pretty young, my dad used to play guitar, and it's a little bit like Léa. At first, it was more like a hobby, I wasn't putting myself that much into it. And now, I'm taking this more seriously.

Reporter: You're living an incredible "success story", maybe some of you have already seen her on the internet because you made a big buzz. Can you explain to us how it happened ?

ViRGiNiE: It was last year, on Youtube when it was only international, one day I got online because I had created an account and put some videos of me playing, and one day one of my originals was on the front page.

Reporter: By chance ?

ViRGiNiE: Yes, by chance.

Reporter: And then ? Almost one million views.

ViRGiNiE: Since then yes.

Reporter: It's amazing, and what's even more incredible is that when Youtube came up with the French page, what happened?

ViRGiNiE: They put another original of mine, written in french, on the french front page.

Reporter: (...) So you're aiming the english audience, because it is important for you and because at first Youtube was only international and a lot of english speaking people discovered you with this song: "A Wonderful Day" that you are going to play later, so this is why it is important for you ?

ViRGiNiE: Yes, and I've always liked the english language, so I keep writing in both french and english.

Reporter: So we are going to find out what's a french songwritter !

-Live: A Wonderful Day-

Reporter: (to a woman in the audience) I saw you doing "ouaw", it is nice, is it ? You don't have a mic so just nod in agreement. And you Léa, what do you think about it ?

Léa: I like a lot.

Reporter: And you, Redolph ?

Redolph: Yeah, I got chills.

Reporter: (...) What themes do you use for your songs ?

ViRGiNiE: Mainly love stories, because I write about personnal experiences.

Reporter: So what did you experience ?

ViRGiNiE: Well, you gotta listen to the songs.

Reporter: You also sing in french so let's hear "Je ne reviendrai pas".

- Live: Je Ne Reviendrai Pas -

Reporter: Is it your first TV appearance ?

ViRGiNiE: Yes, it is.

Reporter: So it shows the stress, but you did quite well ! (less info)
