Hi everybody, BigBong here again with my friend Miguel
from the Miguel Show
So if you've been following my channel, you probably saw
the video I made with my friend Federico
in which we compared which accent sounds the most romantic
between French and Italian
And from the comments, it seems like French sounds more romantic
But Italian sounds sexier
Today, we're both going to be speaking in French but with different accents
So I'm from Paris, I'll be speaking with a French accent from France
And he is going to be speaking with a Canadian French accent
as he lives in Quebec, Canada
And you guys are going to decide which one sounds the most romantic
By the way, we decided to make this video in English
because we believe that if we did it in French
most French people would say it's the one from Paris
and most Canadian French would say it's the one from Quebec
So we're primarily asking non-French speakers
That being said, some say that the difference is similar
to the one between British English and American English
So what do you think Miguel, are you ready?
I'm ready Bong and thank you for the invitation, by the way
It's so appreciated!
My pleasure!
So for this first round, let's make it easy
Let's just be natural and introduce ourselves
Hello, my name is Miguel
I'm not only a magician
Yes, I'm a magician
I'm a magician, but I'm also a wedding MC
And I'm also a YouTuber
So right up there, you can check out my YouTube channel
Feel free to subscribe!
What the hell was that?
You're impressed, right?
Yes, I'm very impressed!
But wait, are you saying that
all Quebecois people are magicians, or what?
No, that's just an exception
Ok right, if you're wearing the vest
I should probably do so myself
Well that's a good idea, he is already handsome
but with the vest, it's another level
That's for sure!
But I hope I'm allowed to use my guitar, at least...
Yeah we'll get there!
Ok so, my turn
Hi my name is Bong, I'm 27 years old
I work in communication
and sometimes, I also make videos on YouTube
So feel free to subscribe!
Alright guys, so what do you think?
Now let's raise the bar and actually place ourselves
in a situation where we actually have to flirt
Excuse-me, I really need to tell you
but I was looking at you in the streets and I find you beautiful
So if that's all right, I'd like to ask your phone number
What do you think?
Alright, perfect
If you want I live nearby
we could go out for a drink
Hi, my name is Bong and if I'm coming here to see you
it's because I saw that you were checking me out for a while
So here is my number
Otherwise, I live nearby if you want to talk in a more intimate setting
Ooh it's getting hot in here!
So basically, what we said is
I noticed that you were looking at me and
I just wanted to tell you that I live nearby
So if you want to grab a drink, feel free to do so!
Now let's pretend it worked
Let's pretend it worked...
You dated the girl
and you've been together as a couple for a while
And now, you want to express how you feel
that you actually love her and you want to move forward
How are you going to say that in Quebec?
Ok, I have to think about it
Ok, I think I got it Bong
Let's try this
I love your smile
And your eyes, I dream about them every night
And you know what?
You're the woman of my life and I want to marry you!
I love your smile and your eyes...
Mmmh I dream about them every night
I want you, I love you!
Will you marry me?
So very corny things basically
I love your smile
I dream about your eyes every night
I want to spend the rest of my life with you
I love you and will you marry me?
Now saying things and flirting is great
But what I love about Quebec
is the culture and more specifically, the song repertoire
And I know that you guys have very romantic songs
Yeah indeed we do, many people from other cultures are
surprised actually to discover French Canadian music
And what would you say would be the most romantic song?
Well, I'd certainly go for "N'importe quoi"
from Eric Lapointe which is like translated to
"Anything" right?
He writes this song for this woman who he hasn't seen
in such a long time and he loves her
I'd do anything!
I would have done anything!
It's kinda like how the narrative goes
Let's hear it!
♪ You told me the craziest words ♪
♪ The ones we only believe once ♪
♪ Anything you want and if you want everything ♪
♪ I promise you anything ♪
Alright, it's going to be hard to beat
But if you summoned Eric Lapointe
I have to pick Johnny Hallyday
who is pretty much the equivalent in France
That'll be a good competition, I think
Alright, let's hear it
♪ One day, you'll tell you "I love you" ♪
♪ From the tip of your eyes but still say it ♪
♪ In the sky of your look, reading your desire is my victory ♪
♪ One day, you will love me ♪
So what do you guys think?
Do you prefer French from France or French from Canada?
