Genius acrobats, drag queen with a golden voice, funny granny, orphan dancers, masters of the “rolla-bolla”… The incredible talents are back in 2024 on M6…
France’s Got Talent is back! From Wednesday October 23, the spectacular and sometimes eccentric and even far-fetched performances (in every sense of the word) will once again parade on M6 in a mixture of disciplines as crazy as they are subtle. M6 indicated in its press kit that this season 19 had been placed under the sign of humor. “Passionate about the impossible, fanatics of the improbable, aficionados of the extraordinary, your idea of the show will certainly change,” praised the channel ahead of the launch.
In 2024, France has incredible talent does not change much in its formula. Karine Le Marchand, mistress of ceremonies for several years, will always be accompanied by Éric Antoine, well in his place this season between “extraordinary” and “offbeat humor”, Hélène Segara, “the icon of French song”, Marianne James“the virtuoso of vocals and biting repartee” and Sugar Sammy, “the rock star of the punchline”. No new thing either in the principle of the gamewith its auditions, its final phase, its buzzers, its “Golden buzzers” and even its “Platinium buzzer” introduced last year…
120 candidates in 2024
In LFAUIT (bless you), 120 candidates will present themselves to the four judges this year, out of around 10,000 applications which were reviewed by around ten casting managers during six months of pre-selection. “Daring talents, ready to reinvent the art of spectacle,” assures M6, which presented a small sample. Just their names sometimes make you dream and their presentation by M6, with a lot of “avant-garde”, “genius”, “touching encounter”, or tragic stories, speaks for itself:
Ibra Acro Boy
“A genius acrobat, Ibra has a spectacular stunt in store for you. After jumping over obstacles, this time he aims even higher: he will attempt to fly over not one, not two, but eight people! A feat never before seen in the broadcast. Will he manage to cross this milestone without touching the ground?
Matthew Stepson
“The daring magician will attempt the trick of his life. With calculated risks (or not), he will put everything on the line to bluff the jury and the public. Suspense guaranteed!”
Hakuna Matata Acrobats
“Masters of the rolla-bolla, these acrobats will multiply the risks. Already impressive at one or two, this time, there will be four of them trying to keep their balance on these cylinders. A technical feat which could well propel them to the top of the show. Will they keep you in suspense until the end?”
Creatine Price
“A drag queen with a golden voice, Créatine will surprise the audience by singing opera… But that’s not all. Her performance includes a touching meeting with Marianne James, a virtual friend she has never seen in person. How will Marianne react when she discovers Créatine’s surprise on stage? Will a beautiful friendship blossom in the spotlight?
Danielle Schwartz
“At 80 years old, Danielle is the funny grandma that everyone dreams of having. But make no mistake, she is not here to offer you cookies but to make you burst out laughing. After having worked 100 jobs , she is launching a new standup career. Will her lively jokes wake up the room and make the walls shake?
Dream Catchers Academy
“These young orphan dancers have a dream in common: to keep their academy alive while sharing their art with the whole world. Their mission? To raise awareness and touch the public through dance. Will their energy and talent allow them to capture the hearts of the French?”
Matthew Nina
“Falling from a height never stopped Mathieu. After a fall that turned his life upside down, he had to relearn how to speak and walk. Today, he recounts his journey with humor, transforming his resilience into bursts of laughter. can he make the jury laugh with this inner strength?”
Daniel Simu
“Avant-garde acrobat, Daniel couldn’t find anyone to accompany him in his acts… so he created his own partner: a robot. How will this man-machine duo react to the jury? A hybrid performance which promises a good dose of surprise.
LFAUIT has been nurturing talents since 2006
France has an incredible talent is an entertainment program broadcast on M6 since November 2, 2006, French adaptation of the show America’s Got Talent, broadcast across the Atlantic. The objective of M6 is to unearth the great talent of the year, in all fields combined. Dance, singing, show, illusion, magic, etc. are areas regularly present in the show, with a simple principle: candidates take turns delivering free performances in front of a jury which must then select them or not for the rest of the program, until the final.
France Has Incredible Talent is currently presented by Karine Le Marchand, with Marianne James, Eric Antoine, Hélène Segara and Sugar Samy serving as jurors. In the past, the show has been presented by Alessandra Sublet (seasons 1 to 3), Alex Goude (seasons 4 to 10), Sandrine Corman (seasons 4 to 8), Louise Ekland (season 9) and David Ginola (season 11 to 14).
What is the principle and what are the rules of France Has Incredible Talent?
The first phase of La France à un incredible talent is that of the auditions. To pass this first stage, you must get at least three “yes” from the jury. If there are two “yes” and two “no”, it is a panel of spectators, present in the public, who decide whether the adventure continues or not. At the end of these auditions, 26 candidates are qualified for the quarter-finals spread over two shows, where a fifth mystery judge joins the jury.
From the start of the season, “Golden Buzzers” are available for the judges and Karine Le Marchand, a sort of direct ticket for the semi-finals. A “Platinum Buzzer” was even introduced in 2023, which sends directly to the final. The semi-finals welcome 15 candidates: the five who won the Golden Buzzer during the auditions and the ten others selected after the quarter-finals. Only nine of them will win the precious ticket to the grand live final, with the candidate qualified via the Platinum buzzer of the auditions. This time, it is the viewers who have the last word to choose the big winner of the season. The key? A check for 100,000 euros and the golden opportunity to transform and propel your career.
Each evening of broadcast, France has an incredible talent, continues with a second part entitled “ça continue”. Hosted by Juju Fitcats, it goes behind the scenes of the competition, with exclusive interviews with members of the jury and participants, unusual sequences behind the scenes, news from former candidates, but also images from all the editions around the world, as breathtaking as they are embarrassing…
