During the prime of the Star Academy 2024 broadcast on Saturday December 28, Charles sang a duet with Natasha St-Pier. The 18-year-old young man suffered a technical problem, as Nikos Aliagas immediately informed viewers…
Like every week since October 12, the students of the Star Academy 2024 strived to give the best of themselves during the prime broadcast on Saturday December 28 on TF1. During this evening under the sign of “carte blanche”, they sang in pairs and shared duets with artists. Charles, for example, gave voice alongside Natasha St-Pier on the title You will find. During this scene full of poetry, the 43-year-old singer and the 18-year-old Breton were seated on a swing which gradually rose into the air. A situation not easy for the Academician who suffers from vertigo, but which did not prevent him from seducing the teaching staff with his progress in interpretation. Once the song ended, however, he must have been happy to return to dry land. A fleeting joy, since the young man was the victim of a technical problem!
Charles (Star Academy) blocked, Nikos Aliagas quips: “I got revenge!”
“The artist is blocked!”reacted Nikos Aliagas, before the camera showed viewers that Charles, still sitting on the swing, was unable to get up. The Academician who impressed his teachers by performing Caruso by Lucio Dalla during a previous bonus clearly failed to win the belt which was intended to prevent him from falling during his aerial performance. Fortunately, the incident only lasted a short time and the aspiring artist managed to escape the safety equipment. “Everything is fine !”he exclaimed, wanting to reassure the public, with a smile. “It’s okay, you’re free!”confirmed the presenter. Before adding, with humor: “I got my revenge, just now you tied me up, so I tied you up too!” A reference to the fact that, in a staging as twisting as it is incredible filmed before the prime – whose code name was “the feta is in the salad” – the students kidnapped and tied up Nikos Aliagas! A way of illustrating the fact that they had “carte blanche” to make this evening theirs.

During the evening, Charles also shared the stage with his comrade Marine on the song When you only have love by Jacques Brel. A cult song that fans of the early days of telecrochet inevitably associate with Lucie Bernardoni and Grégory Lemarchal. And for good reason, both had sung it together during the 4th promotion of the Star Academyfrom which the young man emerged victorious in 2004, three years before his premature death at the age of 24 from cystic fibrosis. Having become a tutor at the Château de Dammarie-les-Lys, the 37-year-old young woman was moved to tears by her students’ recovery…
