If I would like to make the best compliment to the singer, it would be: he has his own style.
You hear him singing, and you do not even to know the song - it's Daniel Lavoie.

Rivar Michelle, Paul Pichet and Daniel Lavoie gathered on one stage during the 19th Summer Festival in Shawinigan.
Lavoie has the most clearly defined position:
«Very often in such shows as this the singer is being correlated with his hits. The audiences come just for fun, not for intellectual adventure. The selected songs are part of the «collective unconscious». It is those, which arrangements are most successful. Their approach is very subtle because they are present in the mind for years.»
Daniel, who has already sung with the chorus of several hundred people, says: «It's a little bit strange, you have the impression that one audience is in front of you and the other - behind.»
