This Saturday, January 4, 2025, while the new year has just rung in, the Star Academy adventure ended for one of the three candidates in the hot seat. But then who lost his place in the Star Academy at the gates of the semi-final.
The premium of the Star Academy of this Saturday, January 4, 2025 kept all its promises. Charged with emotion, suspense and exceptional performances, this evening marked a crucial turning point in the adventure. For Marine, Franck, Ulysse and Charles, it was a final opportunity to shine and convince viewers and teachers that they deserved their place in the semi-final. Ebony, immune thanks to her first place in the evaluations, will decide who will face her in the semi-final…
Very successful services
For the four students in the spotlight, this evening was an opportunity to share the stage with established artists. Charles resumed I take you to the wind with Gaétan Roussel, offering a moment of intensity and freshness. Ulysse, in a more rock register, revisited a Styleto classic with energy. Marine, faithful to her assertive style, shone alongside Héléna on Bad boy. Finally, Franck did the show with MC Solaar on Move awaysetting the stage on fire with his stage presence.
But it was from the start of the prime that the four academicians proved themselves on Je ne suis que une song by Ginette Reno with an acapella passage. Franck launched hostilities with an extremely brilliant performance. He was followed by Ulysses, who made a calm and charming entrance. In a purple suit, Marine gave voice as she has known how to do from the start. Charles closed this battle by asserting himself once again… Tonight, the choice promises to be difficult!
“It wasn’t up to me.”
After a final moment shared together and alongside their godmother Clara Luciani, Karina Charni finally came on stage to announce who would be the student eliminated at the gates of the semi-final. “It happened in the last moments”said the bailiff on set. “The first semi-finalist student is Charles”, Nikos Aliagas said without leaving any suspense. Marine was also qualified this evening to continue the adventure. So who, Ulysses or Franck, will leave the adventure this evening? It was Franck who obtained his place in the semi-final alongside his comrades. It was in tears that he took Ulysses in his arms. “I’m happy because I didn’t think I’d get this far. I gave my all and it didn’t depend on me. I had a blast”reacted Ulysses. At the same time, Ebony had to choose who she will face in the semi-final bonus. She chose Franck, her friend, a choice “symbolic”. “Whether it’s him or me who qualifies for the finals, it will be the same, I will be very happy,” she admitted. Charles and Marine will therefore face each other on Saturday January 11, 2025, while Franck and Ebony will face each other on January 18.
