Emma drafted for tour, but not everyone is convinced

TELEVISION – The result is not to everyone's taste. While we already knew the names of eight academicians from Clara Luciani's class who will participate in the Star Academy tour in spring 2025, the prime this Saturday, December 21 allowed Emma, ​​eliminated a few weeks earlier, to be picked up by the public and to join her comrades in this future adventure. A choice far from unanimous.

Is “Star Academy” stuck in the past? Decryption of the TF1 telecrochet

For this live broadcast just before the holidays, the director of the Star Ac’ Michael Goldman announced as a Christmas present that no candidate would be eliminated this week. On TF1 the academicians logically interpreted party titles, singing for example Christmas Together to open the prime alongside their already eliminated comrades. They also tried their hand at the famous All I Want For Christmas Is You by Mariah Carey. Nikos Aliagas was also part of the picture… disguised as Santa Claus. Part of the program was also devoted to a tribute to Mayotte, affected by Cyclone Chido.

The students defended their places alongside artists like Nolwenn Leroy who accompanied Charles on My Angel or even Loïc Nottet alongside Franck on Mr Madam. Ebony received a video message from her favorite artist, Tayc. But the real highlight of the show was of course the selection of one of the students by the viewers, during this public bonus. Julie, Maylis, Paul, Thomas, Masséo, Emma and Noah were in the running to secure a place on the tour despite their elimination.

At the end of the primeNikos announced that it was ultimately Emma who was selected by the public. To obtain such a reward, she had performed Before you by Vitaa and Slimane. When the announcement was made, Emma couldn't hold back her tears.

A contested choice

If it was the votes of the public which allowed the young woman to return for the tour, on social networks many viewers were unhappy with this outcome. ” But ? Noah, Julie, Paul, Maelys sang better than Emma this evening” protests, for example, a viewer on X. “She gave one of the worst performances this evening”writes another.

To the point that even the show's Mag account expressed itself about this choice, asking Internet users “not to post hateful messages or insults”. “This is the choice of the public who voted either by SMS, by telephone or on TF1+.” Some comments also defend the young woman, like this Internet user who writes: “Before Star Academy even began, Emma experienced a wave of heinous hatred that she saw before returning to the castle. It started again in the last few days”. The opportunity to show your support for the apprentice singer.
