It's an outcome that many did not expect. Viewers were surprised by a twist during this January 4, 2025 Star Academy bonus.
There will only be four left at the castle of Dammarie-les-Lys. After this bonus on January 4, 2025, the four semi-finalists of Star Academy 2024 are known to viewers. The latter had to vote for their favorite, eliminating one among Marine, Ulysse, Franck and Charles. They were supported by their godmother, Clara Lucianiwho however did not hesitate to tackle one of them.
The only telecrochet candidate to have never been nominated (and the first to qualify for the semi-finals), Ebony performed a complicated song : the monument to French song by Edith Piaf The hymn to love. For their part, his comrades defended their luck with various titles. Marine sang and danced to I am what I am. Ulysses chose Cinderella Telephone. Charles opted for Rise like a Phoenix by Conchita Wurst, and Franck sang on To not live alone by Dalida. But which one convinced the least?

Star Academy 2024: a very close elimination
After the elimination of Marguerite against Ulysse, who is leaving Star Academy 2024 today at the gates of the semi-finals? “It happened in the last moments”, confided the bailiff who came to give the results on the TF1 set to host Nikos Aliagas. Alongside Karima Charni, he let the suspense last until the end, gradually announcing the saved students. He started with Charles, then it was Marine’s turn. So only Franck and Ulysses remained.

Adored by the public, the latter was saved by their votes for each of his nominations (six in total). On X, many viewers regretted that he continued the adventure despite his nominations, some not considering him at the level of the other candidates. But given its popularity, many were convinced that he would be drafted againto the detriment of Franck, yet very often in the top 3 this season.
A twist for the semi-finals
Et It’s finally Ulysses who is leaving this week. Very surprised, Franck could not hold back his tears. The young artist thanked the public, somewhat in shock. On X, Internet users commented on this twist: “Finally an end to the show with a FAIR result! It's about time!”, “I'm very shocked that Ulysses was eliminated!”, “Holy shit but what a surprise! What joy! What deliverance”, “Finally the dream square”, “God exists”…

Then a solemn moment took place for Ebony, tasked with making an important decision: who will she face in the semi-final? She finally chose Franckexplaining: “If it were him or me, I would be just as happy (…) Because for me it is very symbolic that we have come this far”. Marine and Charles will face each other in the other semi-final. Fans could be disappointed to see their favorites clash, as was the case in 2023 with Pierre Garnier and Héléna Bailly, both tipped to be in the final.
