"I'm a rather special musician
," she said before lowering her skirt to start her number.
If the candidate said she wanted
to "play with her heart"
, yet another part of her body was used for her performance in the competition broadcast on M6.
Legs in the air apart and a purple flute inserted in her vagina, the forties offered an interpretation of

Faced with the controversy aroused by this musical interlude, the production was invited to react by our colleagues from
20 minutes
.
A number deemed “humorous and quirky” by the production
"Art, it likes or doesn't like, it's subjective",
underlines Déborah Huet, director of programs at Fremantle, production company of the M6 program.
“Entertainment has always been open to all forms of art”
, she assures before judging that it is even
the “identity”
of “France has an incredible talent”.
If Deborah Huet is amused by performances deemed
"olé olé"
, she still ensures that "
all precautions have been taken"
.
In order to preserve the young audience, the producer and the presenter, Karine Le Marchand, took care to get the children present in the room out before the entrance of Beatrice McQueef to preserve
“their chaste eyes”
.
For viewers, a badge indicating
"not recommended for children under 10"
has been added.
To reassure the most reluctant, the chain declared to be accompanied
“by a team of psychologists to discern the gauge to be put to select the numbers”
.

Nevertheless, the producer is pleased to have
“watered down the editing as much as possible”
to offer a
“humorous and quirky above all”
number .
This is not the first performance in "France has an incredible talent" where a genitalia becomes a tool.
In 2015, Brent Ray Fraser made an impression.
