This Saturday, November 23, 2024, Jenifer is expected on the set of the Star Academy. This show which revealed it in 2002 has returned numerous times in recent years.
She inaugurated season 10, in 2022, she also sang during season 11, in 2023. And this year, for her 40th birthday, Jenifer felt a “incredible stage fright and a very strange mix of emotions, including a little nostalgia“ returning to the castle. This is what she confided to our colleagues at Le Parisien.
Jenifer would have liked to return to the castle with Olivia Ruiz!
Jenifer explains: “I remembered my friends, 16 of us returned to this castle”. And added: “Maybe deep down I would have liked relive the thing with everyone from back then“. In her promo, we remember that there was Mario Barravecchia, Jean-Pascal Lacoste, Patrice Maktav, but it was another that Jenifer thought of.
She explains: “I thought about Olivia (Ruiz), the great moments of emotion, the many laughs, but also the little tears“. About their shared accommodation, Jenifer remembers: “We didn’t calculate anything, we were crazy carefree.”
Concerning the reality TV aspect of the program, Jenifer also recognizes: “I didn't want anyone to see me smoking, but I forgot that I was being filmed (laughs). Each of our outings created hysteria“.
In addition to the career she gained by participating in the talent show, Jenifer explains why the show completely changed her life.
She admits: “I was fond of cutting myself off from the world I was in. I was a somewhat complex teenager and that got me out of something a little dark”. And to explain: “Arriving from Nice to settle in Paris at 16, two years before, I was an assistant press officer with a small salary“.
The Star Academy changed his life
And to conclude: “I said to myself: 'I'm going to sing, because it's the only thing I never get tired of and which suits me.' I did the casting, I passed it and I came out a winner. I took full advantage because for me, it wasn't going to last“.
More than 20 years later, Jenifer comes out this week “Jukebox“, an album of covers of her first hits from 2002 to 2012, which she made for her fans. See you this Saturday evening on TF1, to close the loop.
