The program has been accused by some of being a thinly veiled promotional machine aimed at selling recently released albums. Indeed, the first episode, centered on
Jean-Jacques Goldman, aired two months after the release of the compilation cover album
Génération Goldman and featured many of its singers, such as
Amel Bent,
Corneille,
Emmanuel Moire,
Florent Mothe,
M. Pokora,
Shy'm and
Tal, but more importantly the second episode, centered on
France Gall, was viewed by many as being nothing more than a giant commercial for
Jenifer's France Gall cover album
Ma Déclaration, which came out two days after the episode's airing. In addition, some singers of
Génération Goldman, such as
Leslie and
Marie-Mai were offended at not being invited to participate in the program with Leslie later accusing TF1 of playing favorites with her contemporaries. As for the artists the show aims to pay
homage to, France Gall was particularly angered, as she was with Jenifer's cover album, calling the program "cheap" in an interview with
Le Parisien and regretting that she wasn't consulted or even invited to participate. ==Episodes==
