Throughout the evening, the singer sent a moving message to Yera and Léonilde, two dancers from a previous edition of the show who are going through a very difficult ordeal.

This Friday, December 20, 2024, the 19th season of France an incredible talent ended. It is live that the jurors, Hélène Ségara, Marianne James, Sugar Sammy and Eric Antoine, discovered the latest performances of the candidates still in the running for this grand finale, certain numbers of which will have brought tears to the eyes of the jurors. Then, finally, it was Mathieu Stepson who won the show.

But even before attending the magician's coronation, Marianne James had decided to focus on former candidates of the show, struck by a bad stroke of fate. And for good reason, just after the performance of RB Dance Company, the singer asked Karine Lemarchand to give her a few minutes to speak about Yera and Léonilde, two dancers as a couple that France discovered in 2020 in the show . Three years after their participation in the competition, the dancer learned that she had been struck by colon cancer.

On Instagram, Léonilde's husband has already spoken about his wife's state of health: “Please pray, help her. We keep hoping and trying and dancing, but it's so hard to see her move less, talk less”, he testifies. A testimony which seems to have deeply disturbed Marianne James who sent them a vibrant tribute on air : “To tell you that, speaking of our favorites a few years ago – Éric, Hélène and Samy, we know – we have Yera and Léonilde who came to dance in front of us. Two young people, very very young, 20 years old“, she recalls, before revealing the terrible news: “We simply want to say that this evening we are thinking very very strongly of Yera and Léonilde. They are going through a very difficult time. We just want to tell them ‘we love you our loves. Hang in there, we love you.'” A nice message of support.
