Christophe spent most of his life in Deuil-la-Barre (Val-d'Oise), where his parents run a driving school. As a child, he learned figure skating and to play the piano. Later he learned to sing as part of a gospel choir "Young Voices". He also was composing songs at the age of fourteen.
Before deciding to study to become an economics and management professor, he continued to practice music and in 2004 he appeared in a Richard Anconina film, Alive, where he played the role of Henri, a young man with a golden voice who is, nevertheless, not considered suitable for the lead role in a musical. Since his film career did not continue after this, he returned to university, where he studied communication while working a number of part-time jobs, such as babysitting and helping in a theater.

Pushed by his family and friends, he decided to try out for the 2006 edition of Nouvelle Star. With an initial audition performance of Strong Enough by Des'ree, he surprised the judges, who did not expect such a quality voice from an admittedly ungainly-looking man. Nicknamed "La Tortue" (The Turtle) by Nouvelle Star judge Marianne James, he proved to be a popular contestant, and on June 8th, was crowned the fourth Nouvelle Star.
He has stated that he would like to record a duet on his debut album with second-place finalist Dominique Michalon.[citation needed]
He joined artists such as Tears for Fears, Lara Fabian, and Murray Head on the Night of the Proms tour 2007.
His debut album "Inventaire" was released on April 16th, 2007, while the first single, "Elu Produit De L'annee" premiered in March. the album "Inventaire" debuted at #1 on the french charts and has already sold more than 363 000 (double platinum)

No One Else
Christophe Willem Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

L.O.V.E, babe, it's so confusing
'Cause the deeper I'm in, the further I'm away from knowing
Every growing, if I've blown it, don't know if I'm coming or going.

I don't want no one else 'cause no one else will ever do.
I don't want no one else 'cause no one else will ever do
But you, but you, just you and no one else but you.
Just you, yes, you and no one else but you don't want me.

I'm so close to it, can almost taste it
Silent sweet on my tongue, but I'm only ever one beat from losing.
What was grooving gets confusing
When you kiss, don't match the words that you're using.

I don't want no one else 'cause no one gets me like you do.
I don't want no one else 'cause no one else will ever do
But you, but you, just you and no one else but you.
Just you, yes, you and no one else but you don't want me.

Your eyes speak louder than the voice that calls me back to you.
What love created must destroy, what else can my heart do?

I don't want no one else 'cause no one else will ever do.
I don't want no one else 'cause no one else will ever do

But you, but you, just you and no one else but you.
Just you, yes, you and no one else but you don't want me.

Line by Line Meaning

L.O.V.E, babe, it's so confusing
Love is confusing and hard to understand

'Cause the deeper I'm in, the further I'm away from knowing
The more I fall in love, the more I feel lost and unsure

Every growing, if I've blown it, don't know if I'm coming or going.
Every time I take a step forward in our relationship, I fear that I'll mess it up and I don't know what to do next

I don't want no one else 'cause no one else will ever do.
I only want you because no one else can replace you

But you, but you, just you and no one else but you.
Only you can make me feel complete

Just you, yes, you and no one else but you don't want me.
However, you don't feel the same way about me

I'm so close to it, can almost taste it
I feel as though I'm close to achieving the love I desire

Silent sweet on my tongue, but I'm only ever one beat from losing.
I'm always on the edge of possibly losing you, despite how close we may seem

What was grooving gets confusing
Our relationship becomes complicated when your actions don't match your words

When you kiss, don't match the words that you're using.
Your actions towards me don't align with what you say you feel

I don't want no one else 'cause no one gets me like you do.
Only you understand me completely and no one else can replace that

Your eyes speak louder than the voice that calls me back to you.
I sense your love for me through your eyes, instead of through your words

What love created must destroy, what else can my heart do?
Love can be both beautiful and destructive, and my heart must navigate through that
