From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Amies-ennemies" is a song recorded by the French R&B
singer Nâdiya. It was
released as the third single from her third studio album Nâdiya
on October 30, 2006. The song is harmonically based on the second
theme of Frédéric Chopin's Waltz Op.
64, No. 2. It was a top five hit in France and Belgium
(Wallonia).
Music
video
The song appears to be re-recorded or remixed for the video, as
the song starts with a slightly different rhythm and the video
version begins with the chorus instead of the first verse like the
album version. There are more small differences, like the shout
when the second verse begins, the a cappella part almost at the end
of the video version and when she sings "l'autres ennemies" ('the
other enemies'), is also different from the album version.
The video starts by showing a phonograph player, literally sampling the
original Chopin waltz, next showing Nâdiya sitting
on a couch putting on 'closed headphones'. Cuts of some children on
ballet are also shown -
throughout the whole video. When the first verse begins, Nâdiya is
dancing in some sort of room with only a ventilator behind her.
More scenes of the two friends are shown (one representing Nâdiya
probably). At the chorus, we see Nâdiya with her background dancers
performing a choreography for the song. Meanwhile, the two friends
are having an argument and split from each other on the beach. At
last, there is a party going on in Nâdiya's apartment with all of
her friends being there. The video ends with Nâdiya picking up the
phone and answering "C'est Nâdiya" ('Nâdiya here').
Chart
performances
It charted and peaked at number four in France for two weeks.
The song has become her longest-running solo single in the French
singles chart, being in it for 29 weeks. The record was previously
held by her former single "Roc", which was in it for 24 weeks. Later,
this record was broken by the Enrique Iglesias duet "Tired of
Being Sorry (Laisse le destin l'emporter)", in it for 46
weeks.
