- The Battle of the Jury , a program derived from France has an incredible talent is a new concept and "a world first", dixit M6 which broadcasts the first number Tuesday at 9:05 pm.
- Former emblematic candidates of the program, selected by the four jurors, will come back to try their luck and take part in “duels”.
- “I went up to the towers a few times. There are some who got up from the table, who left, who shouted at the strategy, ”advises Marianne James.
M6 has an incredible concept. At least, a "world first", as Guillaume Charles, the boss of the channel's programs explains, about The Battle of the Jury , a variation of La France has an incredible talent , launched this Tuesday evening. In the dozens of countries with their own adaptation of the “Got Talent” format, no one had had the idea of a derivative program bringing together former emblematic candidates…
M6 has therefore imagined a new competition inviting acrobats, illusionists, stuntmen and other singers who have marked the minds of viewers with their sense of humor or spectacle. “Some are putting their title back into play, such as Die Mobilé, Antonio or Jean-Baptiste Guégan [respectively winners of seasons 7, 11 and 13]. We had felt the ground: at least a hundred ex-participants were ready to return and again, we did not contact everyone, ”explains the production.
"There were several of us wanting Dakota and Nadia"
In the end, 24 artists take part in this battle of the jury. They were selected by juries Marianne James, Hélène Ségara, Eric Antoine and Sugar Sammy. "We were advised to make our choice rather among the semi-finalists and finalists of the different seasons", slip Marianne James who did not get hold of all the candidates she would have liked. Some had, since their passage on M6, been engaged in troops like Le Cirque du soleil or Le Cirque de Pékin and were therefore unavailable for filming - the entire show was recorded several months ago. Others preferred to join the team of another juror who also coveted them.
"There were many of us wanting Dakota and Nadia," illustrates Marianne James. The dancing couple, who had upset the public of season 13 in 2018 with their choreographer on domestic violence, thus opted for the Sugar Sammy team. "It was obvious to come back to France has an incredible talent, " says the young woman. “Everyone was super cool with us during our first participation, adds his partner. And then, we wanted to talk about other themes, it was an opportunity. "We will spoil you nothing, but we warn you: the emotion will be there again when Nadia and Dakota appear on the show this Tuesday.
The jurors coached the candidates of their teams. "As it is also our job to enter the yard and go out in the garden, we were able to give advice on the construction of the numbers, the choice of clothes or music, until we had the dream number, summarizes Marianne James. We are like a mom who sends her 5-year-old child to a talent show and who sings the whole song with him while being more cleated than the kid. "
"There are some who have left"
The atmosphere is not, however, to the blissful unanimity of the style of L'Ecole des fans or everyone ends up with 10/10. The Battle of the Jury is aptly named. "We are very competitive," reassures Sugar Samy. “I went up to the towers a few times. There are some who got up from the table, who left, who shouted at the strategy, ”shifts Marianne James.
Each program consists of several duels. The presenter, David Ginola, announces at each round the names of the two jurors who must choose from their respective teams the artists who will compete against each other. Once the two performances have been completed, the two jurors whose talents were not involved in the duel each have one vote to designate the service they have preferred. The public also benefits from one voice: each spectator votes thanks to a box. The artist who wins the majority of the vote remains in the race, his opponent is eliminated.
"The competition has passed over our heads"
“Sometimes the public vote takes everyone by surprise or the jury's complicated. There were clashes because some people did not agree with each other's decisions, ”said David Ginola.
"The competition has passed over our heads", enjoy the placid Frères Jaquard, finalists of the show in 2018 and invited to try their luck again. “We did what we had to do. Most duels compete with artists in different disciplines, add specialists in the humorous song. It would have been more pressure if we had had to deal with people doing the same thing as us. "
With this new concept, M6 also hopes to triumph in the battle for audiences. France has an incredible talent is one of the centerpieces of its grid. The fourteenth season, broadcast last fall, was attended on average by 3.18 million people each week, or 15.4% audience share.
