If Charles, Franck, Ebony, Marine, Marguerite and Ulysse spent a quiet evening this December 21, 2024 since there were no nominees during the public prime, the tension was on the side of the students already eliminated from the “Star Academy”. Yes, you read correctly: Maylis, Paul, Thomas, Noah, Emma, Masseo and Julie were back at studio 217. And for them, the stakes were high since the public nominated one of them to participate in the 2025 tour.
Notice to those who have not watched the show and who do not wish to be spoiled: do not read this article any further. In fact, we reveal to you which student was chosen. But before that, a little look back at the songs performed by the seven former academicians. Excuse us for prolonging the suspense almost like Nikos Aliagas.
Thomas sang “Before You Go” by Lewis Capaldi. Paul launched into “My Way” by Frank Sinatra. Emma performed “Avant Toi” by Vitaa and Slimane. Julie then came by. The 19-year-old Vaudoise defended her place with “If I Was a Man” by Diane Tell (to see or rewatch below). For her part, Maylis covered “Don’t Start Now” by Dua Lipa. Noah had the title “Changer” by Gims. And finally, Masseo concluded the battle with “The Planets” by M.Pokora.
The seven apprentice singers then ignited the stage together on “Let us sing” by Gold. At the end of the evening, it was Emma who received the most votes. She will join her comrades on the tour which will pass through Geneva on March 15, 2025. The adventure therefore ends definitively (and unfortunately) for Julie.
