“France has incredible talent”: stand-up granny, magician, moving dance at the first auditions

The 19th season of “France has incredible talent” remains faithful to the previous one, in this first evening of auditions broadcast this Wednesday evening on M 6. With its nuggets and its antics. On the express side, a Saint-Philippe with red glasses who does not have time to finish his “Night Flight” from Calogero. Kicked out, just like a chili eater and a weirdo who crawls on the ground screaming.

Marianne James, who tears as easily as she tackles, melted for the drag queen Creatine Price. Surprised to see this busty 34-year-old fake blonde arrive, who she follows on Instagram. “Her drag work, her curves… She looks so much like me… We feel less alone,” the juror cries without being able to stop.

“It took you one minute, 32 seconds and 42 hundredths to eliminate me”

The talent competition unfolds its good humor, its jokes and a batch of international talents. A South Korean defies the laws of gravity, a Ukrainian duo, Artur and Esmira, offers a magnificent aerial straps number. Portuguese Solange Kardinaly seduces with her “quick change” number (a quick change) to the song “Material girl” by Madonna: her outfits go from pink to black in the blink of an eye. She finishes in a white dress, mischievous smile. The magic happens.

As with Mathieu Stepson, semi-finalist magician on the show 7 years ago. He lets time pass on the stopwatch on a screen, sitting without doing anything, without saying anything. One by one, the jurors grew impatient and eliminated him. And there, in two seconds, he discovers an envelope in which the elapsed time is written. “It took you one minute, 32 seconds and 42 hundredths to eliminate me,” he says, showing his card. “Brilliant idea, stupid,” applauds Éric Antoine. The four red crosses turn into a unanimous “yes”.

The highlight of the evening is Karine Le Marchand’s golden buzzer, attributed to RB Dance company. Children, folded into their desks. Strong men assault them. Rebellion. The little ones struggle while dancing. The choreographer of the performance, Romain Rachline Borgeaud, took part in the auditions 6 years ago. This time, he doesn’t dance, he orchestrates.

A hit tap dance show

This television appearance had opened the doors to directing for him. He created “Stories”, a tap dance show which was a hit and exported to London. “I wanted to show that childhood is not necessarily sweet and delicate. I drew inspiration from my experience, from my tumultuous schooling. » The sequence is strong, the face-to-face between children and adults, full of simulated violence, bodies thrown into the air, broken tables.

Marianne James is captivated. “There you go, finally!” I’ve been waiting for this for seven years! I come across as a severe woman, but there is everything here, the story, the costumes. Romain, you are an immense director and choreographer! » Hélène Ségara applauds “an absolute gem. You just slapped us. What intensity in the interpretation. » Sugar Sammy wonders when Romain thought that violence would earn him 100,000 euros.

Karine Le Marchand justifies her crush. “I grew up with The Wall and loved the Circle of Dead Poets. This dance symbolizes the difficulty of breaking out of the mold. Students are broken at school when they step aside, are asked to be good at everything, instead of excelling at what they love. » On the stage, the kids cry with joy under the consecration party favors. A beautiful moment of emotion, hugs and decompression.
