They were the facelift of the evening, and will go to the semi-final. The Brats Killers dance troupe, from near Marseille, shook the set of “France has incredible talent” this Wednesday evening with its vibrant choreography, in red and black costumes and Asian sets. Éric Antoine loved these “waves of thrills, joy, celebration, precision”. Another selected, the comedian Matthieu Nina, who has limped since his fall from a ladder when he was a child. “As if I were coming out of a casting with Morandini,” he says, his face still childish and naive in his eyes surrounded by glasses. He ends his masterful sketch with “the disabled are invisible on TV. If you eliminate me, you are bastards. »
The quality of the text, the “intellectual somersaults” praised by Éric Antoine, did not make the jury procrastinate for too long. Élodie Poux applauds: “Even if you can’t play rugby, you transformed the try. » Danielle Schwartz, on the other hand, did not reach the deliberations. Even if everyone loves it, it lacked naturalness and a more impactful text. Even if his punchlines came back at a gallop after his passage. What is she going to do? “Pecho, now that I have makeup on. »
The attempt is, however, successful for the duo Sonia and Sebastian, who lovingly fly into the air, in the rain, twirl, embrace, fold and unfold. All this without slipping or skidding despite the water which complicates the number. Élodie Poux just wanted to “be the harness”, Éric Antoine could no longer take “all this happiness thrown in his face”, Marianne James is “bluffed by so much risk-taking”. A flawless performance for this couple who have already been finalists on “America’s got talent”, the show which inspired “France has unbelievable talent”. And then, when Creatine Price comes back, Marianne James cries. The singer is a fan of the 34-year-old American “drag queen”, an executive assistant by day and platinum blonde in a busty sequin dress in the evening. The artist tackles an opera aria in German, plays the castanets. Marianne is amazed, she confides that she thinks of him every day. She will be able to keep him a little longer, her lover. The jury sends him to the semi-final.
As for Élodie Poux, she triggered her golden buzzer for Canadian Gabrielle Boudreau. The 23-year-old dancer offers an echo of sexual assault. She dances with a flying coat, puts an arm in a sleeve to catch herself, as if the attacker was violating her. To the song “Petite femme”, by Anne Sylvestre, she performs her choreography without the shadow of a shock, a sudden fall, a broken object. Pernicious violence, almost in gentleness. The young woman, a graduate of the Montreal contemporary dance school, provides here a sample of the daily lives of millions of victims. Without it being seen, without us knowing it.
“Your body expressed every single word of this song,” greets Hélène Ségara. Sugar Sammy found her “magnetic.” Marianne James loved this way of taking an idea and unfolding it, “without wanting to impress us”. Élodie Poux, moved by the performance, found the number “beautiful, intelligent without being singled out”. The semi-final, next Wednesday, will bring together 10 artists. “It will be at the level of a final,” promises Sugar Sammy. This is the best season in the 7 years I’ve been a juror. » We can’t wait.
