On the one year anniversary of Léa’s audition, she shared her audition, as well as a caption remembering the lead up to the audition. On April 24, 2021, this quick change artist appeared on the last day of auditions. Before appearing on the stage, she quarantined with Sainvet, JB Dumas, David Stone, Kevin Micoud, and Jordan Praz.
Even though the quick change artist had been on France’s Got Talent, she didn’t know what would happen to her on the American series. For those who may not remember, Léa charmed the audience with her exciting quick change fashion show on the stage. Her act impressed the judges so much that Heidi Klum gave her a Golden Buzzer. Léa finished the season out in fifth place.
I hope she’s okay!
Get well soon. Prayer sent 🙏
