With her harp and her voice, she reaches the semi-final of La France with incredible talent

The singer-songwriter Francoeur, who was eliminated at the gates of the final of the show “La France a un incredible talent” broadcast on M6, returns to this extraordinary TV journey. A particularly “intense” moment which will have offered great visibility to this 36-year-old harpist, originally from Yonne.

It was in the spring of 2024 that Vanessa Burel – alias Francoeur – was discovered by the talent hunters of the show broadcast on M6 thanks to her Twitch channel. The artist, who defines himself as a ” eternal dreamer “, plays his portable harp and his voice”to try to bring a little sweetness and enchantment into the world.” A sort of meditative bubble in a world not “ always easy to live with “.

Her appearance on prime time television is seen by Francoeur as a gift of life and as a discovery for someone who claims constant curiosity. ” The atmosphere was extremely welcoming, almost family-like. Everyone was really lovely “. An atmosphere which contrasts with the very selective side of the successful show which has just celebrated its 19th anniversary.

We have 2 minutes 15 to convince. It was quite intense and very impressive!

Francoeur is more used to concert stages than TV sets, but in front of the jury, she only has a few minutes to convince. In the quarter-final, she dealt with stress and emotion, especially as she encountered some technical discomforts. She lets go and lets herself “ guided by emotion “, she tells us, even transforming the attempt, which propels her to the semi-final.

I performed “the courage of a queen” for them. It's a song that I composed for my mother and which made everyone agree. It was really a key moment in my journey with the show. I felt something clicked as an artist at that moment.

This is the play on words that the artist whispers to us who sees the end of the adventure coming at the time of the semi-finals, where the numbers are more and more ” elaborated “, and the jury's expectations a little more” full-bodied “.

At this stage, Francoeur performs one of his compositions written two years ago: ” If the sea had eyes “, a song that talks about domestic violence. A moment that will remain magical for the artist.

” I had a heart of 8 women behind me. For me, it's one of my best memories of the show. But unfortunately, I failed to convince Marianne James, who considered that I was hiding behind my harp. “

The artist says she is proud to have been able to present this piece addressing the subject of domestic violence at prime time, in “this moment of light which was offered to him on TV.”

Francoeur says she is grateful for this” incredible adventure“that she was able to live and which is closing, without her retaining the shadow of disappointment,”and then the rest is to come “, she enthuses.

Francoeur will remember this television experience ” a wonderful opportunity “to make herself known on a larger scale, to reach a wider audience. She already sees the impact on the community of those who follow her, sensitive to her dreamlike universe, and who have swelled their ranks by the hundreds.

” I will continue, but better, to make the project bear fruit.”assures Francoeur. “That of a human being who does not feel quite adapted to the world around him and who needs to express himself differently, in a dream world, populated by dragons and unicorns.“

The one who fully assumes her side” cheesy “and claims” love as a weapon of mass construction” will release his next eponymous album on March 6, 2025 and will on this occasion meet his audience in Auxerre for a concert at the Scène des Quais.
