From Classroom to Center Stage: English Teacher Jayde Captivates France on ‘France’s Got Talent’
COUTANCES, FRANCE – October 13, 2025 – The quiet life of an English teacher in the Center-Manche region of France is about to be dramatically upended. Jade Parey, 25, is living a double life, captivating students by day and transforming into the singer Jayde by night. Tonight, October 14th, her secret is fully revealed as she takes the stage on M6’s 20th season of France a un incroyable talent (France’s Got Talent), a moment poised to launch her musical career into the national spotlight. This is breaking news for music fans and a testament to the power of pursuing your passions.
A Teacher’s Secret Life
For weeks, Jade’s students have been in on the secret, requesting autographs and photos. Unlike many performers who guard their identities, Jayde’s dual existence is an open secret. She teaches English at three colleges in the Center-Manche area, and simultaneously builds a following as Jayde, a singer with a growing online presence. “Sometimes the students know me before I even arrive at the school,” she admits, acknowledging the power of social media and word-of-mouth.
Unexpected Path to the Stage
Jayde’s journey to the France’s Got Talent stage wasn’t straightforward. Initially believing she hadn’t made it past the preselections, she was stunned when the show’s producers reached out. “They were the ones who approached me,” Jayde explains. “I had sent videos. When I was told that I was not accepted, I told myself that it was just another audition I had missed. I was very unhappy and very defeatist.” The twist? Her partner, Antoine, secretly facilitated her return, initially under the guise of attending the show as a spectator. “He was asked to take me, making me believe it was just to watch. He struggled because it was horrible for me to go that way, when I would have liked to be on stage,” she shares.
Piano Covers and Emotional Performances
Tonight, Jayde will perform piano covers of Salted Popcorn and Whitney Houston’s “I Wanna Dance With Somebody.” The performance is expected to be a highlight of the evening, and early buzz suggests a strong reaction from the judges – Éric Antoine, Hélène Ségara, Marianne James, and Sugar Sammy – and host Karine Le Marchand. Jayde, who released the EP Five in 2020, has a wealth of original material ready to share, with around fifty songs written and waiting to be recorded.
A Dream Years in the Making
This isn’t Jayde’s first attempt at breaking into the music industry. She’s previously auditioned for Star Academy, The Voice, and Nouvelle Star, facing rejection each time. However, her resilience and passion have brought her to this pivotal moment. “I am anxious by nature,” she confesses. “I have a well-organized life, which suits me very well. I have a job that fascinates me. The idea that everything could change overnight, without knowing what will happen, is a little scary.”
The Power of Music and Authentic Connection
Despite her anxieties, Jayde is embracing the opportunity. Her performance was deeply emotional, bringing her to tears. “I was overwhelmed. I cried!” she recalls. She was particularly moved by the judges’ feedback, describing them as “very authentic, very funny and very touching.” The standing ovation from the audience was another unforgettable moment. For Jayde, music is about connection. “It’s the most beautiful thing! Music is a universal language, it’s my way of letting go and expressing myself. What I like is to touch people and to be heard.”
Jayde hopes this exposure will allow her to collaborate with talented individuals who can help her refine her songwriting and bring her musical vision to life. She’s ready to seize this opportunity, knowing it may only come once. Tonight, as she steps onto the stage surrounded by family, friends, and eager students, Jayde isn’t just performing a song; she’s sharing a piece of her soul with France.
