Four students are in danger at the “Star Academy”. The marathon of evaluations, which caused a change of rule in the nominations, asked Marine, Ulysse, Ebony, Charles and Franck to push their limits by facing three tests: one in dance, one in theater and one in singing. Stake ? Immunity and therefore the assurance of securing your place in the semi-finals! Remarkable on “Dazzled by the night” by Zaz, Ebony wins this mini-competition and the nominees of the week are Charles, Franck, Marine and Ulysse. Saturday on the prime, the public will have to save three of them and one candidate will unfortunately be eliminated from the adventure. In order to help the five students rekindle their inner flame as fatigue sets in, Marlène Schaff gave them an assignment for the first time this season: paint a painting representing them! A difficult exercise which reopened scars for certain candidates like Marine, who faces self-confidence problems, and Franck, who revealed, in tears, why he was so discreet by nature.

“It’s like forcing them to carry my burden.”
The painting that Franck chose to paint represents a little boy clinging to a moon-shaped balloon. “ Singing is a dream that I kind of gave up on years ago. But today, I have another dream that drives me, which I barely dare to say out loud: I dream of winning the “Star Academy”. The little boy is me. He is resigned to looking from afar at what he wants most because the world told him it was impossible. » he began, his voice trembling. Very moved, the young 22-year-old artist, originally from Congo and who arrived in France to pursue business studies, could not contain his emotion while explaining the meaning of this image. “ Everyone here will be able to testify that I put a lot of effort into making this painting. I think it shows, but every time I'm asked to talk about myself, it's not easy. (…) I am quite modest and I was raised by teaching me to always take control of myself, not to disturb others. Sometimes I feel like talking about myself is like bothering other people » explained the academician, wiping his wet eyes.

The singer continued his presentation by giving part of his personal story, without going into details: “ For me, the things I carry are heavy and sharing them would be like giving that weight to someone… It's like forcing them to carry my burden. And I don't want that “. Thus, music was a refuge for Franck in very painful moments, and this is the reason why he has been very conscientious since his arrival at the castle of Dammarie-Les-Lys. “ The reason why I worked hard on this drawing is because I hope that by looking at it, people will understand what I mean… Like when I sing » he added. “ And you, looking at him? » asked his stage expression teacher. “ I understand exactly what he means » he replied, collapsing into tears.
A strong sequence, to be found this evening in the daily on TF1, which upsets viewers. “ Modest, touching, powerful », « You made me cry », « I know a lot of people carry this weight within them like him », « He clung to his dream that he was told was inaccessible », « He is so deserving », « We love you » we can read on social networks, where a support campaign is being organized to save him. To allow him to keep his place at the “Star Academy”, you will have to vote on the 2nd!
