Hélène Ségara's golden buzzer was missing from the jury of “France has incredible talent”. The singer started it in this sixth and final evening of the auditions, by sending Jean-Baptiste Seguin, suffering from Gilles de la Tourette syndrome, to the semi-final. Touching, the 31-year-old Varois unfolded a composition speaking of his illness which shakes his body with violent muscular contractions. Except when he sings. At that moment, he feels the happiest, the illness leaves him alone for ten minutes. Hélène Ségara was touched by her performance, her courage, her sincerity. He cried with joy. This “childhood bug that makes him stronger,” as he says, more creative.
The evening rolled out the red carpet for other talents. Lucas, a 17-year-old breaker, knew how to mix hip-hop with contemporary dance, elegance, and slowness too, between two feats on the floor. The Angoissés duo was the beautiful UFO of the evening. Marianne James found that he resembled comedian Laura Laune, winner of the show in 2017.
With the Anguished, the room laughs
Sarah standing, Fla'sitting on the guitar, playing the shy introverts. The worried look, the hunched shoulders, the well-crafted texts, punctuated with “oops, you’re in prison”. Sarah says in the preamble, “prison is a family passion, it is passed down from generation to generation”. Their words hit the mark, the room laughed, the jury laughed.
“You wanted to go too far with a girl, but… oops you’re my uncle, you’re still my favorite actor. » The two emerging artists portray their characters, surfing on the uneasiness which makes them laugh. “You had the choice between a lovely family and a lovely terrace, you chose the terrace and it’s not even finished…”
Him in a denim shirt and glasses, she in a denim dress, curly brunette. They form a successful tandem, the room cheers them on its feet. Éric Antoine salutes the “well-drawn characters”, and even if Marianne James believes that Laura Laune also strummed the guitar with similar black humor, she had a good laugh and validates them.
Talents from the four corners of the world
The aerial acrobatics of Two on the rope, two men entwined on a rope, who entangle themselves, climbing each other, in open shirts and flowing pants, also impressed the jury. Soothing. “After ten years, you still manage to find incredible numbers,” enthused Éric Antoine. Another aerial strap duo made it through, Haley Viloria, a couple all contortions and head-down twirls.
In originality, without descending into ridicule, Shadow Ace delivered a very beautiful Chinese shadow act, pulling off a great imitation of Michael Jackson. Marianne James liked this “return to the origins of the filmed movement”. The candidate, Filipino, grew up in poverty, without electricity, and had fun as a child bringing his fingers to life in the shadow of candles. “France has incredible talent” has always succeeded, over the years, in capturing talent from all over the world.
