Revealed on « La France a un incroyable talent » on M6 in 2025, Jayde does not hide her disappointment. The young singer reproaches Claudio Capéo for not following up on a proposal made in front of the show’s cameras. While she hoped to open for his tour, she discovered that her name was not among the announced artists.
Can a promise made on television turn into a real professional opportunity? For Jayde, the experience now leaves a bitter taste. On Thursday, November 12, the former contestant of « La France a un incroyable talent » spoke out on Instagram to express her dissatisfaction with Claudio Capéo. The issue: an opening act proposal which, according to her, was never realized.
The young artist had been noticed in 2025 under unusual circumstances. Initially present in the audience to accompany her partner, she was invited to sing on stage before finding herself participating in the auditions of the M6 program. Her journey then led her to the quarterfinals, where she caught Claudio Capéo’s attention.
A proposal made in front of M6 cameras
During her appearance on the show, the performer of « Un homme debout » had proposed that she prepare a composition and send it to him. He also mentioned the possibility of having her as an opening act for his tour. A particularly important prospect for a young singer wishing to develop her career and perform before a wider audience.
But nearly a year later, Jayde discovered the poster presenting the artists selected to open for Claudio Capéo’s Zénith tour. Her name does not appear. An absence that led her to publish a message directly addressed to the singer: « I still had some hopes but this time it’s dead. Thank you for making me hope for nothing. »
The disappointment is all the greater as her close ones had, according to her statements, already bought their tickets hoping to see her perform. « To say that my family and friends had bought their tickets which are… not even refundable, what a joke », she added in her Instagram story.
A previous proposal to Anisha Jo resurfaces
Jayde’s statement also revived a memory among some internet users. In 2022, Claudio Capéo had proposed to Anisha Jo, future winner of « Star Academy » on TF1, to record a duet with him. The singer then mentioned this collaboration in « 50′ Inside, » a few weeks after the talent show’s finale.
Four years later, no track from this announced collaboration has been released. This precedent was recalled on social networks following Jayde’s accusations, fueling questions about the artistic proposals made by Claudio Capéo on television shows.
However, it is important to distinguish the two situations. A collaboration or opening act proposal can depend on many professional parameters, including tour scheduling, artists’ availability, or decisions made by production teams. In the absence of explanations from the parties involved, it is not possible to determine why these projects did not come to fruition.
Claudio Capéo has not yet responded publicly
At the time of Jayde’s message publication, Claudio Capéo had not publicly reacted to her reproaches. No element therefore allows to establish whether exchanges took place between the two artists after their meeting on M6, nor if the proposal had been the subject of a formal commitment.
This case nevertheless highlights the expectations that proposals made to young talents on entertainment shows can raise. For contestants, an invitation to collaborate with a recognized artist can represent a real career hope, especially when it is made in front of several million viewers.
