It is a very emotional moment that M6 viewers are about to experience. On Wednesday 24 November, the channel will broadcast the last evening of the auditions ofIncredible talent 2021. The opportunity to rediscover a well-known face: that of Miss Dominique. And his passage should do a lot of talking.
It was in 2006 that the one who is now a music teacher was revealed to the general public. Miss Dominique participated in season 4 New star and arrived in the final, facing Christophe Willem, who emerged victorious. At the time, Marianne James was part of the jury and had forged a special bond with the 43-year-old woman. She therefore lived a moving moment when she found her during the auditions ofIncredible Talent 2021, where she is a juror alongside Eric Antoine, Sugar Sammy and Hélène Ségara. Especially since she learned some great news at the same time. “I see a pianist, a singer in the dark. I had her first name, I look at my notes and I see her stepping into the light. And I say to him: ‘Is that you?’ And I see she is not alone [elle était enceinte lors du tournage ,NDLR]. I go back to 2006 in my head. I find it brave and wonderful. It was very moving for me. We saw each other several times after 2006, we called each other until 2011“, recalled the 59-year-old woman, during an interview for Leisure TV. It didn’t take long for tears to fall on Marianne James’ side, like that of Miss Dominique.
After being approached several times by the production, she finally accepted his offer to participate in Amazing talent. “I was told that no one had warned Marianne James. I do not believe it. But I did realize that she didn’t know anything about it. As I entered the stage, I thought she was not going to recognize me. But she did it instantly. I saw her very moved. I didn’t know what to say except ‘thank you’. As soon as I got that word out, I cracked“she said.
It remains to be seen whether she convinced the jury to make her continue the competition. But, whether she wins or loses, Miss Dominique is a fulfilled woman. In 2011, she met the man who shares his life. Together they now have two children. “He didn’t know me. This is probably why it was able to work“, clarified the participant.
The interview can be found in the November 15, 2021 edition of Télé Loisirs.
