French pop singer and actress 'Lorie' turned down offers to compete on the first and second seasons of the show, much to broadcasting channel TF1's consternation, declaring that though she liked the concept of the show, as an accomplished dancer she didn't think her participation would be fair to the other contestants. She significantly changed her tune when her latest album was declared the biggest flop of 2011 and she entered active negotiations to compete in the third season.
