Magic humor, circus, songs. The 5th episode of “France has incredible talent”, broadcast this Wednesday evening on M 6, once again offered a balanced cocktail of artists. The show opened with the energy of childhood and ended with the suffering of a fakir.
The smile of youth, first, with the luminous Stacy, a 10-year-old Russian who looks five years older. To a Céline Dion song, she twirls, carried by two straps. His foot curled, upside down, splits. Everything goes very quickly, all smiles. “You have experienced uprooting, you are there like a warrior, your act is cool, you are brilliant,” maintains Marianne James.
She is amazed by this “kid bursting with joy and freedom” and such a level at only 10 years old. Stacy performed a number full of pep, which contrasted with the languorous artists, often in the seduction and slowness of the movements.
A unique show, aesthetic… but not embodied
The most severe of the evening was also Marianne James, who did not validate the magician Nicolas, 45 years old, finalist of “America's got talent”, American version of the program. On the big screen his table and the digital mix. A man on a bicycle who takes out playing cards, a trash can which swallows them, Sugar Sammy who draws a 10 of spades, which ends up, at the last second, printed on the magician's arm. Reality mixes with the virtual in an astonishing virtuosity.
It's new, aesthetic, but Nicolas's lack of incarnation on stage makes him leave with “only” three validations. “You lack presence, you are not there with us,” regrets the singer. A personality to work on if he wants to hope for the semi-final.
Same disappointment for the juror when Jonathan Moller, a muscular tattooed 32-year-old, starts, who thinks he will overwhelm her with admiration in his Cyr wheel bouncing on the ground. Eddy, a sports equilibrist from Guyana, also did without the validation of Marianne James to reach the next stage.
A stunning tornado from Ukraine
The jury, however, unanimously validated Mary-Lou, 23 years old. This frozen food seller delivered a gentle version of “Take on me”, by A-ha, guitar slung over her shoulder. Sugar Sammy is also the first to stand up to applaud, a rarity for the Canadian comedian, more of a spade thrower than an applauder. “I had chills, I loved it! » Éric Antoine found that it lacked surprise, Hélène Ségara liked “so much maturity so young”.
The Stardust duo, from Ukraine, set the stage on fire by spinning on a small round stage. The boy holds his partner by one hand and one ankle to make her fly at incredible speed, she turns head down, legs around his neck.
The finale, aerial, swings flames from the beauty's skates, which completely delights the jury. “You met all the challenges, all the dangers, it was a perfect act, excellent! » enthuses Sugar Sammy who triggers his golden buzzer. A stunning tornado.
“May impress the faint of heart”
In another genre, we laughed like the jury at the simplistic and successful drawings of Briac, a former celebrity journalist. His short, plunging squares, his calculations with mice and cats, seduce everyone. Light and efficient.
Effective and not light at all, on the other hand, the last number. “May impress the faint of heart,” warned the channel. You surprise me! The Vietnamese Bao Cong put knives in his nose, a pair of scissors at least a meter long in his throat and coins under his eyelids. Almost unbearable, “disgusting” even, says Marianne James, “shocked and scared”.
“But you deserve all our respect for your journey to us.” Bao Cong gets this know-how from his family. Secrets passed down through generations, leaving Éric Antoine taken aback: “It’s a unique number of its kind. » The candidate left with a touching cry of joy, with the four “yes”.
