une existence banale, mais qui est devenu au Québec le véritable maillon musical entre tradition et modernité. C'est un regard intime sur l'enfant qu'il était et sur l'adulte sensible qui s'est découvert une voix. C'est le portrait d'un petit roi, peint devant nous à coups de Jaune et de Bleu blanc blues. Jean-Pierre Ferland, à travers des textes empreints de chaleur,de naïveté et de profondeur, a chanté les hauts et les bas de la vie, les amours d'un jour et ceux d'une éternité. Tour à tour personnage exubérant, poète séducteur, artiste fécond et rêveur introspectif, il a toujours respiré l'air du temps. Les héros de notre époque sont ceux qui transcendent les métamorphoses qu'ils s'imposent. Ils surmontent les difficultés,les épreuves et les rivalités qui menacent leur extraordinaire destinée. Ferland est de ceux-là. Il faut raconter ce héros moderne. " -- 4e de couvL'âge des ténèbres: scénario

concepts les plus populaires, dont ceux de Star Académie et de Loft Story. Ces deux émissions ont été adaptées en France avant de l'être au Québec et ce sont nos cousins français qui ont inventé l'expression stars-kleenex. Le talent des Académiciens de la première cuvée a impressionné bon nombre de Québécois. Ces stars instantanées devaient-elles pour autant être des étoiles filantes? Le marché québécois est-il assez vaste pour "absorber" autant d'artistes? Probablement pas. Cette relève a été exploitée. Pourquoi? Comment? Par qui? Dans ce livre coup-de-poing, Julie Lemay nous rapporte les témoignages-chocs de participants des émissions de téléréalité les plus populaires." -- 4e de couvThe teammates: A Portrait of a Friendship
