This Friday, November 8, 2024, the atmosphere was electric on the set of the Star Academy ! Nikos Aliagas has indeed taken control of yet another suspenseful bonus, during which Ulysses, Noah and Maureen had to fight to save their place.
But before competing in front of the TF1 cameras, the three students and their classmates completed the tests at the Château de Dammarie-les-Lys. With the prime brought forward to Friday, they had to take their assessments at the start of the week!
Tough test for academicians
The mission was then to choose a song capable of defining their personality. Emma, Masseo, Charles and the others therefore racked their brains to find THE title likely to surprise the teachers and avoid them being nominated. Believe it or not, this resulted in some… unexpected performances to say the least.
The teachers, for their part, had not come to joke. Michaël Goldman, Sofia Morgavi, Marlène Schaff, Hugues Hamelynck, and Malika Benjelloun observed each performance with a keen eye, helped this week by the shock godmother, Clara Luciani!
On the program: encouragement, smiles and, of course, a few remarks which did not fail to sting where it hurt. Suffice it to say that students sweated under the spotlight.
After much deliberation, the ax finally fell. Ulysses, Noah and Maureen were named. Armed with courage and a touch of panic, they prepared to do whatever they could to avoid packing their bags.
And the eliminated of the week is…
During the evening, Noah brilliantly performed Lose Control by Teddy Swims, an intense and moving track that allowed him to show off his vocal abilities and passionate side.
Maureen, for her part, went all out with Beautiful by Christina Aguilera, a title that is not forgiving, but which, if well interpreted, can truly touch hearts. Finally, Ulysses sang And in 150 years by Raphaël, a poignant song, full of meaning and emotion, a real challenge for him!
Unfortunately, Noah failed to convince viewers. The adventure therefore ends today for the young man. Much to the dismay of the fans.
