Talk:La Vie en rose

message: AFIK - Edith Piaf's signature song is  "Je ne regrette rien" - I don't regret a thing - Her reply to accusations that she was a collaborator.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.202.108.52  (talk) 04:34, 6 February 2006 
:   She notably sang it, perhaps in unique circumstances, but that doesn't make it her signature song!--Jerzy•t 01:44, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  (Her other characteristic song) 

message: Why is there a picture of Grace Jones and Donna Summer on an article about a song that is most closely associated with Edith Piaf? That needs to change.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.155.211.1 (talk) 16:38, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I can't find any available stock photos of Piaf that could be used but agree her image should be on this article.Aa1232011 (talk) 14:31, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  (Image emphasis){{anchor|Image emphasis}} 

message: This article is appalling.  I wholly concur with the sentiments above.  The mass of material relating to Grace Jones and Donna Summer (how solipsistically American!) which takes up most of the article, should be relegated to a mention in the company of the other covers.  There should be a photograph of Piaf whose song it effectively was and, ideally, the lyrics in both the original French and a sympathetic English translation. While of course she wasn't the only person to sing it and mention of the covers is perfectly valid, as it stands, this article is an insult to the memory of a great artist. Can anybody help?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lonstan (talk • contribs) 14:36, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I basically agree with the comment made by Lonstan, though he(she) perhaps overstates his(her) case. Using that much space for the the Grace Jones and Donna Summer covers throws the article out of balance. Besides, I'm pretty sure the best known rendition of the song after Edith Piaf's was Louis Armstrong's. Badmintonhist (talk) 22:01, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Definitely agree with Lonstan on this one. There's no reason that two particular covers, which aren't even the most notable covers of the song (Armstrong's version is probably most notable, if only due to modern usage in popular media (eg its use in the 2008 film WALL-E) should get such undue attention. This article needs significant rewriting and citations. AlexDitto 05:28, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Article Quality

message: "It has also become a generic song representing the French in foreign countries, as "Rule, Britannia!" and "Stars and Stripes Forever" have for Britain and the US, respectively."
Not sure about this. More than, say, La Marseillaise? Tsuguya (talk) 22:19, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: If this is going to stay, it definitely needs a citation, though it sounds pretty unverifiable to me. AlexDitto 05:30, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Better wording could have been:  "It has become an almost universal song representing the 'French cafe' sound to many in foreign countries." Glassofpinot (talk) 06:50, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  You're picking up a very old discussion thread concerning wording that has long since vanished. Your wording might be usable but only with a citation to show that someone in a newspaper had that opinion. Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:12, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Generic

message: There is infinitely much information about who covered the song, but nothing about the song itself, its lyrics  and tune.   For example, is the English version an accurate (or free) translation of the original French? --91.115.59.0 (talk) 18:51, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  What is it about? 

message: Not only is there far more info about covers than the song; there is far more about Grace Jones and Donna Summer (see talk 10 July 2011 above) than a) all other artists combined, and b) Edith Piaf (and the song itself).
It might be best to cut the Jones and Summer text to the talk page to rebalance the article - after all, we can link to their wiki pages as to all the other cover artists. Come on, let's Be Bold and do it. It can be reversed when there are other materials (specially, on Piaf) to balance the cut materials here. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:10, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  a performance of a little importance 

message: I'm wondering why the "Vie" is capitalized here; came here because of seeing this mentioned and it talks about lower-casing non-English phrases. Why is "Vie"capitalized then, and "en rose" is not?Skookum1 (talk) 10:38, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  The Grace Jones Ad (sections) is an insult 

message: Please move the article to La vie en rose. The fact that the title appears in the French Wikipedia with wrong capitalization is no reason to adopt it. --2A0A:A541:CE4F:0:154D:3014:1246:F326 (talk) 11:15, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Move to La vie en rose 

message: This sentence in the Grace Jones section is like the keywords in the IMDb: "The video begins with Jones wearing a rose-patterned coat. Having removed it, the singer dances in a scant gold dress which reveals her right nipple as well as black underwear." In case you don't know what I mean, look up a random film on the IMDb and scroll through the keywords :-) 62.205.111.47 (talk) 07:21, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
