"Closing ceremony for me, the meaning behind that, it’s more like.. hmm. Here is the face, here is the face of France.. is diverse. You know, like let’s be proud of our inclusivity, like diversity, you know. And even if behind, like, even if behind each fight, you can feel like some resistance. We always win. So I’m here, like, I’m going to stand, I’m going to sing, and yeah. It’s already a win, you know? So that’s why I was saying to you, like it’s… I just want to focus on the positive things because even if people are, like, starting to hate on me or bullying me on social media etc. I’m there, guys. I mean, Stade de France, I mean like, ‘Sorry, you know. Sorry we were already there and I already did my thing’. So I’m like, you know. But for me it’s more like, yeah, this is France, this is who I am, and yeah."

"It’s scary sometimes because I’m not perfect and I know that I’m not perfect and people expect you to be perfect, especially when you are an artist and especially when you are black. It’s like you have no right to fail, you know? But I just embrace my fears, and, and I embrace the fact that I’m not perfect and it’s okay. So I’m kind of happy if I’m inspiring some women. Yeah, it’s cool, but it’s a lot of pressure, you know?"

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Yseult, French singer-songwriter and model who performed at the Paris Olympics closing ceremony:
"This project is less political than my last project. Because on my last project, I talk about my skin, my hair, my family, my struggle, like my vulnerability, you know? And on this one, I was like, huh, this project, the name is ‘mental’. And it was important for me to talk about my mental health and to share where I am right now mentally, you know, and I’m proud of myself because it was tough to do the transition between sad ballads, beautiful deep love songs, and, and to be vulnerable to the world. And now it’s like I’m sharing another side of myself. It’s like my fierceness, my anger, and yeah, I want to be like, I want to be like a rock star. But the black, the black one, you know, like, and yeah. I kind of love it, you know, like, I’m wearing leather, you know, black eyes, you know, it is like I love it, I love it."

STORYLINE:
Yseult appeared on the Olympic stage at the closing ceremony of the Paris Games with a couple goals: Turn the world’s biggest spotlight into her megaphone, shining a light on France while boosting her music and modeling career in the U.S. and around the globe.
The Parisian entertainer performed live Sunday night, stood centerstage at the Stade de France then calmly strutted on the platform like she famously does during major fashion runway shows such as Balmain and Balenciaga.
