Et si

"Et si" is a song by French popstar Shy'm, from her fourth album Caméléon. It was chosen to be the third single from Caméléon and the radio edit of the song (which features less prominent guitars, and a more uptempo chorus) was released to iTunes on 5 November 2012. "Et si" (which translates to English as "And If") is a midtempo pop song in which Shy'm questions whether her love will last forever. It is one of the more ballad-like songs on the album. The album version primarily features guitar and piano, while the radio edit strips away the guitar and includes more synths.

Music video

The music video for the song was shot in the French countryside, and switches between scenes in a house to scenes in a forest. At first, it focuses on Shy'm and her boyfriend in a country house, with friends arriving for a party of sorts. Throughout the house scenes, everyone ignores Shy'm, with some of her friends and her boyfriend nearly hitting her. It seems she is going through a breakup with her boyfriend until the final scene, in which everyone at the house travels to the woods. Shy'm is unsure of what they are doing there, until her boyfriend brushes the leaves off a grave. The grave is marked with Shy'm's real name, Tamara Marthe, and when she sees her name she breaks down into tears. Shy'm is actually a ghost, which is why nobody noticed her in the house.

Nouvelle Star

Nouvelle Star (a.k.a. À la Recherche de la Nouvelle Star for the first series) is a French television series based on the popular Pop Idol programme produced by FremantleMedia. It was broadcast by M6 in seasons 1–8 and is currently broadcast on D8.

It was hosted by Benjamin Castaldi for the first three series (2003–2005). He also hosted 13 episodes of Series 4 (2006). Virginie Efira presented the remainder of Series 4, as well as presenting Series 5 and 6 (2007 and 2008). Seasons 7 (2009) and 8 (2010) are presented by Virginie Guilhaume. Since season 9, Cyril Hanouna is the Nouvelle Star's TV host.

On 4 July 2012, Bibiane Godfroid, program director of Nouvelle Star announced that the show will not return on M6 but will instead be on D8, after its acquisition by Canal +.

Format of the series

The four members of the jury have to judge about 25,000 contestants in various towns around France and Belgium. Until the final rounds begin, the show presents both the successful and the poorest performers, known as the "inoubliables" (unforgettable ones). Some of the worst performers have also performed as guests during the final stages.

Et tu, Brute?

"Et tu, Brute?" (pronounced [ɛt ˈtuː ˈbruːtɛ]) is a Latin phrase meaning "and you, Brutus?" or "you, too, Brutus?", purportedly as the last words of the Roman dictator Julius Caesar to his friend Marcus Brutus at the moment of his assassination. The quotation is widely used in English-speaking world to signify the utmost unexpected betrayal by a person, such as a friend.

The fame of the quotation is entirely due to its occurrence in William Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar, as Caesar utters these words as he is being stabbed to death, having recognized his friend and protégé Brutus among the assassins. However, there is no evidence that Caesar actually said these words.

Another common translation for the phrase is "You too, Brutus?". Literally, the Latin phrase translates to "and" (or "also") "you, Brutus?". The name "Brutus", a second declension masculine noun, appears in the phrase in the vocative case, and so the -us ending of the nominative case is replaced by -e.
