Abstract

The article focuses on French singer Yseult Marie Onguenet's performance closing the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics ceremony with the song "My Way," originally popularized by Frank Sinatra. The song "My Way" was adapted by Canadian Paul Anka from the French song "Comme d'habitude," highlighting a cultural connection between France and the USA as the Olympic Games transition to Los Angeles in 2028. Yseult, who gained recognition as a runner-up on the French singing competition "Nouvelle Star" in 2015, received widespread praise for her rendition, drawing attention from international audiences and media figures.
