Dreaming of becoming the next star of French pop music? Past seasons have captivated audiences with the incredible success of contestants like Pierre Garnier, as well as a variety of compelling auditions. This new edition of the beloved singing competition, which has seen a dip in viewer enthusiasm in recent weeks following the departure of popular contestants, wrapped up with the season’s final live show.
Following the elimination of their fellow contestants who will be heading out on tour, the final took place this Saturday, February 7, 2026—once again a all-female showdown, just like last year with Marine and Ebony. This year, it was Ambre and Léa who bid farewell to the Dammarie-lès-Lys mansion, embarking on their new musical journey as they stepped into the spotlight.
And it was ultimately Ambre, the youngest contestant of this season, who clinched the victory in the 13th edition. She delivered a stunning performance alongside well-known French artists Marine and Héléna, both stars from previous seasons, with notable appearances by Big Flo & Oli, Patricia Kaas, and season’s godmother Charlotte Cardin. Thanks to strong viewer ratings, a new season is already on the horizon, and aspiring singers will soon have the opportunity to audition across the country in a bid to chase their dreams and make it big!
