We had to be at the hotel at 3 pm saturday, waiting for Gaelle, the
lady from the radio station. She finally came at 4 pm. Then the lady talked
with us.
I said to her I had white lilies + the messages for Tina and my friend
had white roses for Tina. After speaking with me, Gaelle understood that
I was a big Tina fan !
She said to me that it is not a concert and it would not be allowed
to stand up, to take photos and everything. It would be a very professionnal
recording. We were
the only fans (2), who were there. And the team of the show is not
used to deal with fans. At that time, I understood, it would be very difficult
to meet Tina.
(altought they said on air during the competition : "You will meet
Tina"). "At least, give her the flowers and the messages", I said.
Tina was THE superstar of the show and it would be very difficlut to meet her. Then a journalist from the radio station meet us in the hotel. Later, I learnt that he wanted to have an interview of Tina. He said he would try to organize a meeting with Tina. In the taxi, I realized that it would be not allowed to do anything. Otherwise, Gaelle from the radio RTL2 would have problems with the team of the show. So, I could not react or do anything. I just had the right to sit down and watch! Gaelle were said that Tina was already there for the rehersals. Then we arrived in front of the studio at 4:30 pm. We had the info that Tina would leave the studio. We missed the rehersals with Tina ! I was outside with my camera and I took three photos. I was 10 meters in front of her. It was very quick, I hope the photos will be OK! Then Tina came inside the car. Roger and Patrick were there. Tina would be back later for the recording.
We went inside the studio and assist to the rehersals with the other artists. We could not enter the studio with the flowers and the messages but I were said : "Leave the flowers and the messages in the cloakroom." I was OK and Gaelle said she would try to place the flowers in Tina's dressing room.
We assisted to the rehersals with the other artists. Then at 7:00 pm,
we had diner with the production team. And guess who I saw? Roger Davies,
James Raltson, Ollie Marland !!! I said to Gaelle that it was Tina's manager
and musicians but she did not said to me to go in front of him and to speak
with him, so I understood
it was not allowed! Then we left the restaurant and we went inside
the studio. I was sad and very nervous!
