The promise was clear: "You're going to get a kick out of it!"
".
After sketching a dance step on entering the stage, Karine Le Marchand promised a great show for viewers of the grand finale of the 17th season of "France has an incredible talent".
He was there and at the end of the suspense, it was the young Rayane who won the victory, barely seeming to realize what was happening to him.
This Tuesday evening on M 6, thirteen candidates, amateurs or professionals, were in the running after two months of competition.
To decide between them, the only public vote.
And the key for the winner, the tidy sum of 100,000 euros.

Being able to count on the great benevolence of Éric Antoine, Hélène Ségara, Marianne James and Sugar Sammy, the palette of artists gathered on the set shone with its eclecticism.
The music was naturally at the rendezvous with in particular the young Rayane, self-taught who learned the piano in less than two years in the stations of the Paris region.
Touching by nature, the 15-year-old living in a home offered a convincing interpretation of Chopin.
In a completely different style, the noisy electro-trance group, "La P'tite smoke", shook the public with its energy, when Alexis Couvelaere, coachbuilder painter, rather moved the room with his interpretation of "Requiem pour crazy” by Johnny Hallyday.
Duo Gemini just fails
Another pillar of the program, the circus arts once again hit the mark.
The Ukrainian twins, Duo Gemini, enchanted the studio with a splendid acrobatic number around suspended time.
Special mention also for the acrobat with the flying hoop, Enzo Pèbre, whose sense of narration and acting has touched the jury.
His colleagues, the Ramadhani Brothers, however, were less fortunate since one of the members of the duo from Tanzania fell at the end of the performance.
Technology was also part of the dreamlike ballet of drones proposed by Marco Tempest and the Dronisos.
The Ukrainian collective Antigravity Show amazed the audience with a sound and light number that once again defied the laws of gravity.
Only downside and not the least, his performance worthy of a science fiction film had to be recorded upstream for technical reasons.
At the end of this magical evening, it was Rayane who won this 17th season of “France has an incredible talent” ahead of Duo Gemini.
The promising young pianist succeeds the Chœur de Saint-Cyr of the Military Academy of Saint-Cyr Coëtquidan, crowned last year.
Building on the good audiences of this 2022 vintage, Karine Le Marchand has already launched a call to artists for an 18th season of the show expected next year on M 6.
