“I didn't think I was going so far”: Marine “could not have dreamed better” by winning the “Star Academy”

The victory train did not leave without it. The one who made viewers laugh by imitating the TGV horn especially touched them in the heart with her powerful voice. Marine Delplace, 24, won the final of the “Star Academy” against his Ebony Cham, 20, this Saturday, January 25, ahead of 4 million curious people.

A record of audiences for a season whose star -shaped trophy no longer left the arms of the northerner, “Very happy”a few minutes after his brilliant victory. The day after a short night, she won her phone to tell us about her last bonus filled with “stress” But above all from the rest of her young career, which she plans far from the dental office where she should have started working.

I had no doubt that Ebony would go to the final but I did not imagine that it would be in front of me

Winning the “Star Academy” with 65% of the votes is anything but “ordinary” As you sang at the very first bonus. Does it sweep this permanent doubt that seems not to leave you?

I do not realize what it represents. Is it a lot? It's a lot, I think (laughs). But in truth, even that, it doesn't take too much doubt. I still ask myself lots of questions. Should Ebony had to win? Do I really deserve victory? I know that lack of confidence is something I have to work on. I will succeed, I believe in it.

Among all your performances in three months, many will retain this surprise duo with Clara Luciani on “I don't like it” at the start of the season. What do you think please the viewers who offered you the trophy?

I admit that I don't really know. I think what emerges a lot beyond my voice is my personality. The fact that I am natural, my humor quite spontaneous. It is obvious that the voice counts, but I think that as people see us living from morning to evening, they also attach themselves to a person. So I would say a mixture between voice and personality.

We felt a little feverish at the start of the program yesterday. How did you experience this final?

I was stressed. It is true that it was a big issue. Beyond victory, I wanted to make a good bonus and succeed in my performances. I was perhaps a little destabilized at the beginning because when we arrived in the crowd, it was shouting our two first names a little. It was difficult to know where to be, I felt like it was super tight. I was not elsewhere, I was mainly concentrated.

You have not finally experienced the announcement of the Miss contest results with Ebony, holding your hands. We saw him moved to tears. What did you say to you once the cameras cut?

We had started to do it but we were so in the stress that we decided to look straight ahead. We said bravo, that we loved each other and that we were super happy with this evening, that we both deserved and that we wanted a career, winner or not, that it continues for us.

Ebony, was it the best possible finalist?

Yes, I think. Afterwards, everyone was good. There were many incredible candidates. Frankly, it was difficult to decide between. I had no doubt that Ebony would go to the final but I did not imagine that it would be in front of me. It was the best for me.

You couldn't go to the final when you enter the castle?

No. Every week that passed, I didn't necessarily plan to live the next one. I didn't think I was going so far. I couldn't have dreamed better. I didn't expect it, that's for sure.

With hindsight, it may not be worse than they did not turn around in “The Voice Kids”.

Marine, winner of the “Star Academy 2024”

Your first words after the victory were: “Mom, I won!” Did you bet something with your parents in the event of a victory?

No not at all. I panicked a little. I want to make my parents proud, it was also for them. Even them, I think they did not imagine that I would go until victory. We hadn't talked too much about it.

This week, you share something very hard in Ebony. You had come to say to you: “I have missed my life because I will never do what I really wanted to do and I will never live my passion”. Is this the first time that you have been trying to cast the “Star Ac”?

Yes, I admit that I had dropped the case a little. Friends said to me: “You should register, it's for you”. It fell well because I was just finishing my dental surgery studies. I signed up on the internet by not necessarily thinking that I was going to remember. But finally, I did well!

What would the 14 -year -old navy think, who failed to the blind auditions of “The Voice Kids”, of the one who has just won the “Star Academy”?

I think she wouldn't believe it. It is true that with hindsight, it may not be worse than they have not turned around because it allowed me to live my life and now access this. It's crazy! Frankly, I think she would be happy.

And what would you want to say to this teenager who had to be a little disappointed at the time?

Knowing that, I think I would tell him to let time do and take things as they come. Or maybe being a little less hard with itself.

Lisa of the BlackPink group, K-Pop star, told you that you shouldn't lock yourself in a single style. The “Star Academy” has already changed your tastes by sliding songs in voice to something else … How do you imagine your first album?

I am very happy because the goal when I arrived at the “Star Ac” was precisely to challenge myself, to discover things that I had never done. I would like there to be a mixture of several universes that I like on my album. Things more in emotion, with perhaps piano-voice, and more dancing, rhythmic and electronic songs as I was able to do with Charlotte Cardin and Helena in the show. I don't have all the ideas yet. I will have to think about it.

On the other hand, there is not to think about the success of “my fault”, which already has more than 3 million listenings just on Spotify. Do you have other songs in stock?

Of course I have other songs on my computer that I wrote about the same period. Some have only the words, others have only the instrument. I have to come out all that but there are quite a few. Another is also completely over.

I do not know if it is the dream for my vocal cords to do it every night but it is true that it would be impressive

Will Marine sing “All by myyself” on tour?

You visited the Lille Zenith With the 13h of TF1 the day you learned that you are joining the castle. You will perform 5 times in this room with the comrades of the “Star AC” tour. “All by Myself”, is that the service that you dream of redoing every night?

So I don't know if it's the dream for my vocal cords to do it every night but it is true that it would be impressive. I do not yet know the programming but it could be nice that it is there. Or a song as vocal but a little less difficult. “I am what I am”, it would be good too.

Are you projecting yourself a little on the tour?

Yes, moreover strangely, we already thought of it even of the castle when we approached the end. I can't wait, I don't know what to expect. I have never done that! It will be a completely different adventure from that of the castle.

The backstage of the tour are entitled to their daily newspapers on TF1+ from Monday. Is your stock of valves ready?

I'm not going to change! I don't do too on purpose. It's spontaneous, maybe a little too sometimes. It will be the same, except that we will no longer be in a castle but in a bus tour.

Like Amir, is your dentist career definitely behind?

(laughs) It is true that it is our common point. That's all I wish myself but the dream can stop as fast as it started. So if it ever stops, I can always be a dentist. I will pass my thesis in all cases, for not having done all these years of study for nothing and to be still a doctor graduate. It will be my emergency plan. For now, I would like to put it aside.

You know that the last media northern to have abandoned his job as a dental surgeon was Iris Mittenaere…

She was in my college and she stopped in the fourth or fifth year. She has done well since now she's Miss Universe, it's a crazy thing!

There is something with your college!

I admit … Besides, I have a girlfriend who participated in the election of Miss Nord-Pas-de-Calais this year but who finished first runner-up.

Have you had time to turn on your phone?

Yes, yes but I have not yet had time to look because I am a little busy and there are a lot, a lot to read.

I checked and Vassili Schneider follows me on Instagram

Marine on her famous Crush

What message has you surprised the most?

Jacquemus, I think. He told me that he had supported me since the first day. I'm really a fan so it's incredible!

Nothing from Vassili Schneider, who had sent you an encouragement video?

No, however, I checked and it follows me on Instagram. I hesitate to send him a message but I will not do it.

A little invitation for the tour maybe?

I think I'm going to tell him to come on the tour.

Matt Pokora visited you this week and he told you about what was playing on social networks and reactions exacerbated, even hateful, of some. How are you going to manage this?

By registering for this kind of game, we know anyway that we cannot please everyone and that's quite normal. Frankly, I will not pretend to say that I will please everyone. We each have our favorites. I'm not going to look too much because I don't want to put myself in a bad mood. I suspect that there are necessarily negative things but I think I will above all focus on the positive: the tour, the rest and what I want to do. I think I'm not going to dwell on it too much.
