Like Slimane or Camille Lellouche, today, many successful singers have scoured the telecrochets to hope for the chance of a lifetime. And Maureen, who recently joined the 12th season of Star Academy knows something about it.
Indeed, aged 23, she is from Montpellier (Hérault), and we are not discovering her for the first time, this October 12, 2024, on television. Before her visit to TF1, the singer was a candidate in the competing show “New star”in 2017.
Maureen participated in the selections of “New Star”
It was during season 13 of the program, on M6, with Benjamin Biolay, Cœur de Pirate, Nathalie Noennec and Dany Synthé on the jury. And during the qualifications, she had gone to the theater, at the Élysée Montmartre, like 100 other candidates.
She won her ticket by singing “Me loving you” by Vianney. And Dany Synthé then declared to him: “For me you have a raw talent that needs to be shaped, you have a very beautiful voice, you have a very beautiful groove”.
Unfortunately, she was not selected among the 12 finalists in the competition. We remember that that year, it was Shy’m who hosted the show. We then discovered, during the weeks of competition, Mathieu Canaby, but also Azza Kamaria. And the winner was Xavier Matheu.
And many had forgotten that another well-known face had also gone through the same selection… without winning the famous ticket. This is Taycthe singer of the hit “Don’t think about it anymore.”. At the time, aged 21, he too had participated in the theater test. He then covered a title by Anderson .Paak, “The City“.
A video with Tayc resurfaces
In a video, which has just resurfaced on the Web, an Internet user found Tayc and Maureen, on the same stage, facing the Nouvelle Star jury.
We know that within the castle of Dammarie-Les-Lys, Emma and Ebony are impatient to receive a visit from Tayc. “I’m going to cry, it’s not possible!”they declared together, on November 10, 2024, thinking they had seen it. They will be very surprised when they discover that he has already met their colleague Maureen!
