Mary-Lou, who has a purely food job in Paris, burst into tears. Sugar Sammy therefore said “yes”, like his three other acolytes: “Maybe you sell frozen food, but today you warmed my heart. »

Among the faults noted, the “humorillusionist” Éric Antoine, while appreciating “tenderness” which emerged from the recovery of the 23-year-old young woman, noted “a little lack of surprise”. “The little thing that I missed, rejoined the artist Marianne James, it is to hear the great high pitch. I also wanted to salute you for the guitar, because it was really well played. Honestly, you had a great audition. » “It was sober, soft, warm, added singer Hélène Ségara. We loved it. »

Mary-Lou then reacted backstage: “I didn’t understand what happened. I'm so happy. I was so afraid of failing, of not pleasing the public and the jury… I will offer the best of myself for the future. » See you on Wednesday December 4 or the following Wednesday for its quarter-final.
