You have questions. I have some answers.
Friends and I are curious about a song in the current Allstate commercial. It was the same song recently used in a chocolate commercial. It sounds like French. It would be great to know in English what the singer is saying since it seems to be very popular and a great voice.
That is “Non, je ne regrette rien,” by Edith Piaf. Also known as the “little sparrow,” Piaf (1915-63) became legendary for her passionate performances of songs such as “La Vie En Rose” and the song you asked about, whose title can be translated as “No, I regret nothing.” In addition to commercials, her songs have been used in hundreds of movies and TV shows. In “A Star Is Born,” Lady Gaga pays tribute to Piaf by singing “La Vie en Rose.” Marion Cotillard won the best-actress Oscar for playing Piaf in the 2007 movie “La Vie en Rose.”
Why was the show “Star” canceled? I really enjoyed the show. How did it end?
Deadline.com reported one Fox executive calling it a “tough choice” to cancel the musical drama in 2019 after three seasons. Still, ratings had declined. Fox also said it wanted to give “Empire” a big sendoff for its final season, which included putting it in the 9 p.m. hour Eastern time. “Star” had led out of “Empire,” but Fox did not program the 10 p.m. Eastern hour, eliminating a home for “Star.” As for how the show ended, because of the timing of the cancellation, it did so with a huge cliffhanger: At Derek and Alex’s wedding, says TVGuide.com, “Bankhead gang members infiltrated the intimate event and opened fired on the unsuspecting guests, leaving a sea of bodies in their wake.” Questions about who survived would have been answered in the fourth season only there wasn’t one.
