Who will succeed Pierre Garnier, big winner of the last season of the Star Academy ? There are fifteen of them who entered the castle of Dammarie-les-Lys after having performed for the first time on the stage of Studio 217. A first high-level bonus with no major misses. The level is high and we already feel that great moments will punctuate the coming weeks. There are five of them who left an impression on us with their performance, as vocal as it was moving. And you, who did you like the most?
“Terrible emotion” with Charles
Tackling a song by Florent Pagny and Patrick Fiori from the very first moment is a crazy gamble taken by one of the youngest members of the adventure. At eighteen years old, Charles does not have the vocal stature of the two giants with whom he tried to measure himself but his performance was still up to the occasion. “ He is a natural singer », noted director Michaël Goldman. It was at the castle that he took the first singing lesson of his life. “ I experienced a terrible emotion », Confided his dad after the song. The potential is there since it is at the castle that Charles will take the first singing lesson of his life.
Paul, difference as a standard
Half-black, half-pink costume, devastating hip swing and presence, Paul immediately showed that he was not afraid of the stage. He owned it during his performance on an Elton John song. Just before, he had flown over it while accompanying another candidate on the piano. “I feel different,” Paul confided in his portrait. And he accepts it, fully. This is a profile that was missing in the previous two seasons. Let’s hope that the adventure to come will allow him to fully unleash his potential.
Maureen, heiress of Grégory Lemarchal
Putting goosebumps on Clara Luciani, godmother of this new season of Star Academy, from the first prime, is the feat that Maureen has achieved. Fan of the Star Academyshe covered a cult song in the history of the program namely All the SOS cries by Daniel Balavoine. Its latest performer is none other than Grégory Lemarchal, of whom Maureen presents herself as the worthy heir with power, emotion and precision.
Crack and energy, the two pillars of Maïa
Vocal arrogance. Portrait in music with Sirtaki because he has just spent six months on Erasmus in Greece in Athens. Likes to dance and sing. Unbelievable luck. If Angèle had delivered a very remarkable performance on the song Nightcall by Kavinsky during the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games, Maïa had nothing to be ashamed of after delivering her performance on the Star Ac’ stage.
It must be said that the crack in the voice of the young and sparkling student transfixed us just as her energy makes us want to know more about her. We want to hear it again and as soon as possible.
Noah and Thomas, for a mother’s love
They didn’t know each other until a few days ago and yet Thomas and Noah found each other on a song: Mama’s eyes by Kendji Girac. A piece where the two young students were able to shout their love for their mother. It was also that of Thomas who enrolled him in the Star Academy, “ she pushed the door that I might never have dared to touch “. For Noah, it was the evening of the revelation, he who had long hidden his love for music and singing. It was moving, it was beautiful. What more could you ask for.
