The semi-final featured six vocal challenges, including duets with stars like Sting and Charlie Winston, and solo performances of iconic songs.
Charles, an 18-year-old from Brittany known as the 'Petit Prince de Bretagne,' impressed judges with his rendition of 'SOS d’un terrien en détresse' but narrowly missed the final spot.
Marine, a 24-year-old from Lille, delivered a powerful performance of 'My Heart Will Go On,' earning praise for her vocal strength and emotional delivery.
The competition now moves to the second semi-final, where Franck and Ebony will vie for the remaining spot in the finale scheduled for January 25.
