Maïa left the Star Academy adventure just a few weeks before the final, which should be held at the end of January (if our calculations are correct)! On the occasion of its release, the one who received a nice punchline from Michaël Goldman during the last bonus spoke to Purepeople. In a long interview, she returned to this absolutely unique adventure, the few frustrations she encountered and the buzz that surrounded her throughout this twelfth season. She notably returned to the event of recent days: her kiss with Marine!
What state of mind were you in during this last bonus?
During this prime, I was really in the mode: “Just have fun on stage, have fun, enjoy these moments because they could perhaps be the last”.
What did you think of your latest performances?
I’m proud of myself. I worked a lot, I think I gave the best of myself. Yeah, pretty positive. We can always do better, but it’s rather positive.
Your kiss with Marine at the end of your duet was highly anticipated and created a buzz. Did you expect it?
So honestly, I didn’t think there were going to be so many reactions to my kiss with Marine. But obviously, we know that by making this choice, it’s not necessarily something that is very conventional and therefore obviously, we suspected that it was going to get people talking, but we found that it was a message that was so nice to convey that we didn’t want to stop at the potential comments we might receive.
Where did you get the idea to do it?
So it was the director who suggested the idea to us. So we discussed it together and we found that it was really the logical continuation of the interpretation of our song.
Have your loved ones talked to you about this sequence?
Well it’s crazy because I don’t think I even talked about it with my parents.
Were you surprised to leave?
No, I wasn’t really surprised to leave. I had already been confronted by the public several times, I had not always been saved, so I suspected that I might not be saved this time. I had prepared myself psychologically to leave, but I am still very happy to have arrived this far.
During your adventure, many Internet users regretted that you did few duets or performances and that the music did not really highlight you. Did you also feel a certain injustice?
It’s true that sometimes I felt a little bit of frustration about the songs that were attributed to me or not. But yes, it’s certain that I sometimes would have liked to be able to sing things that suit me more and that highlight my voice more. But for all that, I am very happy with my journey and I am happy with the songs that have been attributed to me.
We have sometimes seen you break down. Have you ever thought about giving up?
So I never thought about giving up. I know that I express my emotions a little too easily, so I think people will see me break down more often etc. But just because I’m crying doesn’t mean it’s over, it’s just that I’m letting it out and five minutes later it’s better.
You confided this week that you were afraid of not being heard and of being alone. What did you mean by that?
Yes, so for the word alone, we arrived at a point in the adventure where after two months of isolation in a castle, I think that I miss my loved ones a lot. And for the fear of not being heard, I think it goes back a bit to what I expressed before about the frustration of not having been able to sing songs that correspond 100% to me.
