“Support her comeback” is a solvent word

France 24 can write the engineering sentence: Céline Dion’s setup includes AI that “isolates her voice from stadium noise.” That’s ledger prose — a bounded function, a transitive verb, something you can picture and argue with.

Then the blurb spends that precision to buy a different effect: “advanced audio technology and AI to support her comeback.”

“Support” + “comeback” is not description. It’s permission.

It dissolves the only distinction that would let a reader know what kind of thing they’re being asked to admire: is the tech cleaning the room (signal-to-noise), or compensating for the singer (stabilising, sweetening, normalising, doubling, replacing output)? Those are different acts with different implications, and “support” has no floor — almost any intervention can hide inside it.

This isn’t an argument that technology makes performance fake. Performance has always been scaffolded. It’s an argument about a sentence structure that wants the pathos of fragility while withholding the one clarifying clause that would make that fragility auditable.
