TL;DR Summary

She opened with “On Ne Change Pas,” debuted the comeback single “Dansons,” and delivered an a cappella rendition of “All by Myself,” all inside a spare production that keeps the focus on her voice. Guests included Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Aya Nakamura and Thomas Pesquet as the show highlighted her first major return since her stiff-person syndrome diagnosis.
