Wednesday January 22, on the occasion of his surprise visit to the Château de la Star AcademyMatt Pokora made a surprising confidence to Ebony.

This last week of competition is both busy and full of surprises for Ebony and Marine. Before competing for victory on Saturday January 25, the finalists must draw on their last resources to offer an unforgettable show. Aware that viewers, but also their teachers, are waiting for them, the young artists have made no secret of their apprehension. Wednesday January 22, during rehearsals with Lucie Bernardoni on the title Just a photo of you by Matt Pokora, Marine had a bad feeling…”I don’t know why I don’t feel this song. It’s not that it doesn’t inspire me, but I won’t be able to sing it well, I think“, she confided to the coach, before jumping into the water, not without hesitation.

Ebony (Star Academy) surprised by a confidence from Matt Pokora

The same day, Ebony and Marine left the castle to go to the NRJ premises. On their return to Dammarie-les-Lys, the young women were left speechless when they discovered Matt Pokora… behind the stove! Happy to meet the finalists, the singer took the time to warn them on many subjects, such as the violence present on social networks, but also made some confidences, notably to Ebony. “You weren’t born when I started in 2003. I did multi-artist sets with your dad!“, he declared. If Marine couldn’t believe her ears, Ebony confided: “Yes I know. He had already spoken to me about you, telling me that you had already done sets together.“And obviously, Matt Pokora only has good memories of his meeting with Thierry Cham!

Marine (Star Academy) reassured by Matt Pokora as their duo approaches

Matt Pokora took advantage of this improvised evening to exchange a few words with Marine regarding their duet on the title Just a photo of you. If the finalist had expressed her fears to Lucie Bernardoni a few hours earlier, while speaking with the artist, everything was gone! “Let’s sing together, it’ll be great! I’ve heard a few arrangements already and I know the ranges are a bit complicated“, he first confided. Before reassuring the academic: “We’re going to play on that. […] We’re going to play on emotion and turn the song upside down. The arrangements will be much more philharmonic and the text will take on more meaning. […] We’re going to do something cool, I already have lots of ideas. You’ll see, it will be magnificent. We are going to make a very beautiful painting!“Matt Pokora’s enthusiasm visibly convinced Marine who immediately found a smile again!
