"I first heard his voice whilst watching you tube and fell in love with his deep expression when he sung. He gives all his soulLa Voix d'Un Ange when he sings and brings you deep into the song. With all these feelings filling the room, his voice lifts you high above the clouds of joy. I only found out later that in fact he had died. Such a loss for someone so young and so talented to have to die. Listen to his voice and see the pictures fill your mind. Tears well in my eyes evertime I listen to his music now, knowing that he now resides in the choirs above. Love this album as it includes all his meaningful songs that wretch at your heart strings and lift you up, up to a beautiful peaceful place. Buy and enjoy it."
Gregory Lemarchal, a beautiful miracle who gives this world

"Gregory Lemarchal achieved what not many can in a lifetime. He became a very popular French teen star while fighting the odds against a genetic terminal illness that kills before you reach adulthood in most cases. He sings with much inspiration,and straight from his heart and just like a very good singer, nothing unusual you may say if you are a singer, but for Gregory this was a defiant accomplishment. Gregory Lemarchal only had so long to live and had huge obstacles choosing a singing career. Obstacles which he glowingly surpassed. HE IS A GREAT SINGER. His joie de vivre et l'amour pour la vie unveils in "Et Maintenant" and many of his songs he has poured out his stamina, strength and love into, and his sensitivity as a great human being and as a victim to Cystic Fibrosis, brings us the best performance ever that anybody with cf or not could give.
For those who are clueless as to why Gregory Lemarchal may have skipped a key or two in one song, or whose judgment goes to say he should leave some of his singing to Sara Brightman, the reason why he couldnt do it like Boccelli in just a few instants of his song, has to do with a very severe lung damage and terminal illness he was undergoing which prevents you from breathing. Which fills up yr airways with plastiline instead of mucus, and which leaves one drained of energy and not much oxygen. Singing with c.f. is like trying to sing when you have pneumonia and croup at the same time. HOW'S HIS PERFORMANCE NOW THAT YOU KNOW THIS? SINGING AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS AND GREAT! WITH CYSTIC FIBROSIS an illness he was born with which clogs his lungs and gives him pneumonias every day of the year. Gregory had to fight cf thru endless lung therapies which include hositalizations for weeks, and physio on lungs and constant medical intervention to keep alive. AND HE CONTINUED SINGING...despite the odds.
Gregory Lemarchal not only sings great in all his songs he is the definition of steel persistance in fighting a horrible dreadful painful disease that took his last breath at the age of 23yrs old (April 30, 2007). Up until a few months before his death Gregory accomplished international popularity,stardom, and became singer fighting the worst illness and odds. He also raised 7.5million Euros for the research and cure for Cystic Fibrosis. HIS LIFE IS AN EXAMPLE OF LOVE FOR LIFE, DETERMINATION, KINDNESS AND A HEART OF GOLD, a heart with so much talent that not even c.f. stopped it. He achieved what many of us with c.f. could never dream of nor do most without it could ever achieve in a long life.
His singing makes me tremble from head to toe. HIS VOICE STICKS TO YOU AND PLS READ ABOUT HIM AND WATCH HIS VIDEOS. He will become yr idol.
I too have c.f. and I know what he went thru with it, and I know he is much better now without suffering, but we miss him so muuuuch. Do buy his music, he is very very good.. His cause and web page that tell you more is online as association gregory lemarchal. Today I sit here and cry, this young star is gone but not from our minds and hearts. THE HANDSOME GUY HAS TALENT! AND ALL THE INGREDIENTS FOR WHAT HE WAS...A STAR. A BEAUTIFUL STAR! REST IN PEACE PETITE ANGE!"
