A highly anticipated comeback. This Tuesday, November 19, 2024, Jenifer, the iconic winner of the first season of the Star Academymade his comeback in the cult show… and be careful, not just any old way! She actually went to the Château des Vives-Eaux, in Dammarie-les-Lys (Seine-et-Marne), to meet the students of season 12.
But while she was on her way to the iconic venue that made her famous, some fans joked that she was going “plant” production because of her delay, as she did years earlier on France 2.
Jenifer plante Catherine Ceylac
Remember! In September 2012, the interpreter of Give me time was expected on the set of Tea or Coffee. Unfortunately, host Catherine Ceylac ended up announcing the cancellation of the program.
“We left last weekend, I announced the singer Jenifer. Jenifer canceled our meeting somewhat unexpectedly and impromptu at the beginning of the week. We asked for explanations and they are a little vague, the argument being that there was too much talk about her at the moment. So Jenifer, some advice: stop this job“, she said with panache. A punchline which did not fail to provoke a reaction.
A return with great fanfare
More than 10 years after this missed meeting, Jenifer finally honored her commitments. The star was also particularly happy to find the castle.
“Well, that’s changed! There is more infrastructure, I feel. (…) The castle is true to itself“observed the 42-year-old artist on social networks. “The first memory that comes back to me was the euphoria with my friends, with the 16. The first arrival at the castle, I will remember it all my life“.
“We were happy and completely carefree about what was going to happen. We were in the purest unconsciousness, and that's what was good“, she remembered before adding: “But we wanted, we wanted to do well, we wanted to have fun“.
As a reminder, Jenifer entered the castle of Dammarie-les-Lys on October 20, 2001. At the time, she was only 18 years old.
A few weeks later, on January 12, 2002, the pretty brunette won hands down the first edition of the Star Academy against Mario Barravecchia. A victory which then allowed him to embark on a successful career in music.
