The Star Academy 2023 alumni have returned to the castle to guide the class of 2024 as the decisive evaluations approach. Among them, Héléna Bailly did not hesitate to provide sincere advice and to point out the attitude of a candidate, who could play tricks on her.
This is a crucial week ahead for the academicians of the Star Academy 2024. While the ultimate goal of this season remains the final prize, the students must now face decisive assessments. In play this week: two direct qualifications for the 2025 tour, leaving six candidates competing to avoid elimination in a public vote. The evaluations will require a mini-concert where each academician will have to shine with the title of their choice.
Monday, November 25, students of the class of 2023, Héléna, Candice, Axel, Julien and Lénie, returned to the castle of Dammarie-les-Lys to provide advice and encouragement to their successors. These discussions allowed current candidates to refine their performances for the evaluations, while benefiting from sincere feedback from their predecessors. Héléna, semi-finalist of the previous edition and performer of the title Bad Boytook his role as mentor to heart. While some students received compliments on their performances, others were invited to correct details that could cost them dearly.

Star Academy 2024: Héléna’s valuable advice to Marine
Among the performances presented, that of Marine particularly attracted attention. The academic chose to sing one more evening by Celine Dion. A bold choice praised by Axel, who described his performance as “really very good”. “It’s crazy the natural tenderness we have for you, it’s so weird,” commented Julien for his part, as revealed Tele-Leisure. But Héléna preferred to highlight one point to improve: Marine's attitude when she makes a mistake. “Marine, stop making faces when you’re wrong!” she advised him seriously.

Faced with this remark, Marine defended herself by mentioning her fear of playing the piano badly: “Yeah! But it’s actually the piano, I shouldn’t hit it next to it, my phobia.” But Héléna, direct and kind, insisted: “And if you make a mistake, you don’t care.” A phrase full of meaning, reminding us of the importance of remaining professional and not letting imperfections interfere with a service.
Benefits that elicit mixed reactions
This return to the castle was also an opportunity for former students to compare their experience with that of current academicians. Certain benefits offered to the class of 2024 have raised eyebrows. Héléna did not hide his jealousy by discovering that the candidates now have wireless microphones for their evaluations, a privilege that she and her comrades from season 11 did not have: “You are very lucky!”she stressed. Julien and Lénie confirmed that this development makes the services more comfortable.
