Graines de star
Graines de star (transl. Stardust) was a French television talent show created by Thierry Ardisson, presented by Laurent Boyer and broadcast on the French TV channel M6 on Friday evenings at 8:50 pm between February 1996 and March 2003.
Notable performers who appeared on the show have included Anastacia, Alizée and Willy Denzey.
Graines de stars is a talent show that aimed to discover young talents. At its launch, the competition consisted of five categories: "Graines de Top," "Graines d’animateur," "Graines de comique," "Graines d’imitateur," and "Graines de chanteur."
According to the initial entertainment format, three candidates compete in each category. All the young people are sponsored by a star (Greg Hansen for the "Tops" in the first episode). As they take the stage, the guests reflect on their beginnings, sharing anecdotes and archival footage.
Over time, new categories have been created such as « Graines de danseur » (dancer) (at the request of the public) and "Graines de comédiens » (comedian).
