Places are becoming more and more expensive at the “Star Academy”. This evening, the five students still in the running gave the best of themselves to convince both the public and their teachers that they deserved a place in the rest of the adventure. Ebony, already qualified for the semi-final thanks to her remarkable performances in dance, theater and singing during the weekly evaluations, seems well on her way to the final. Marguerite, eliminated last week against Ulysse, spoke in the columns of Télé Loisirs and did not hide her admiration for the young artist. “ For me, it is Ebony who, in all disciplines, excels the most and most consistently. She was never named “, she declared, convinced that her friend could win this twelfth season. For Marine, Franck, Ulysse and Charles, on the other hand, the evening was decisive. At the end of this thirteenth bounty, one of them unfortunately had to leave the castle, leaving the others to get a little closer to victory.
Semi-final goal!
The four academicians opened the evening by performing together “Je ne suis que une chanson”, the emblematic title by Ginette Reno. Although only the public vote is decisive this evening, the teachers were still invited to nominate their favorite performance. “ I was amazed this evening because there is one who is the vocal double of Ginette Reno. And as crazy as it sounds, it's you Charles », Launched Hugues Hamelynck, the theater teacher. Everyone was able to defend their place solo and especially in duet with a renowned artist: Charles sang alongside Gaëtan Roussel, Marine covered “Mauvais Garçon” with Héléna, semi-finalist from the previous season, Ulysse took the stage with Styleto and Franck sang with MC Solaar.

Each in turn, the nominees addressed the public. Ulysse wanted to thank his fans for saving him from elimination six times. “ Without you, my adventure would have ended after the third week “, he joked. Marine, a recent graduate in dental surgery, promised free scaling to everyone. “ Even if I would rather be a singer “, she added. The verdict fell a few minutes after a final piece performed in chorus by the five academicians. “ Four students for three places. It was very tight », says Nikos, recovering the mystery envelope. Charles, Marine and Franck are saved by the public. It is therefore Ulysses who must leave the castle this evening. In a few moments, Ebony will have to choose which student she wants to face in the semi-finals on January 18.
