Ordinaire was written at the peak of Charlebois’ popularity, after the Osstid’show, which made him a star and a household name in Quebec. Charlebois later embarked on tours after tours, in Quebec, Canada and all over the world. Tired and exhausted, the lyrics to Ordinaire seemed to unmask the false and almost mythical imagery that people and critics in Quebec had quickly made not only of him, but of the Mouffe/Charlebois couple. Almost an instant classic and now a staple of Quebec music, Ordinaire remains a very accurate depiction of today’s obsession with celebrity and of the negative effect such pressure can have on an artist. Charlebois is still to this day affectionately nicknamed the “ordinary guy” and this song remains, for the Quebec public, one of his greatest.
