Santa Claus was generous with young Emma, singer from Lésigny, one of the strong personalities of this edition of the Star Academy. Eliminated to everyone's surprise after five weeks on the show while all the popularity polls placed her among the favorites, her dream of participating in the big tour promised to the last eight students in the competition had vanished.
An outcome that had caused a lot of talk, as Seine-et-Marnaise seemed armed for the stage. We remember that despite a lack of self-confidence at the start of her adventure, she had managed to climb into the Top 3 several times, and had even participated in the NRJ Music Awards to sing with David Guetta!
She responds to the “haters”
Saturday December 21, production had a big surprise in store for the 7 eliminated candidates. All had a chance to be drafted for the tour, with the public judging only.
And it was Emma who was chosen by the public, offering her her ticket for the famous tour: “I had a bad heart for the tour, you just fixed my heart, she reacted hotly. We all deserve to do it. I can’t wait to see them again.”
If I had stopped singing after a misplaced note, I would never have chosen this profession
For the director of the Star Academy Michaël Goldman, Emma's victory had “a little taste of the order of things. She always talked about this tour, it was made for.” His comrades were not surprised, as Ulysses declared: “He is a star. She has evolved so much! She’s going to be a hit on the tour.”
On Instagram, where she now has 175,000 subscribers, Emma thanked her audience who mobilized: “Thank you all my little elves who mobilized in force to offer me this second chance of inestimable value. Little 5-year-old Emma who put on a show for her family in the living room, shouting that one day she would go to Bercy and tour all over France was right to believe in her dream.
And as Emma is already a star, this week she had to face a first wave of hatred on social networks. In question, his vocal performance contrasted with a few false notes on the title “Avant toi” by Vitaa and Slimane. “ It was with a lot of stress and pressure that I went on stage that evening. If I had stopped singing after a failure or a poorly placed note I would never have chosen this profession! “, she replied on Instagram.
The Star Academy big tour will begin on February 21 in Epernay, with a Zenith tour and a big concert at the Accor Arena on March 18.
