During the last Star Academy bonus, the students performed in the company of several artists well known to the public. Hoshi, Hatik or even Patrick Flowers were present to accompany the staracademicians live.
Patrick Fiori, who came to sing with Noah and Charles, took Nikos Aliagas and the teachers by surprise by making a very special request. He offered a benefit to one of the students, breaking the unspoken rules of production.
Star Academy: four students in danger
The prime of Saturday, November 2 of the Star Academy was based on the principle of “tied destinies”. So, a few days earlier, the evaluations had taken place in pairs. At the end of the test, Ulysse and Marine, and Thomas and Maïa were nominated.
The students present on the bench of nominees had less opportunity to perform on stage with their classmates. Instead, they had to defend their place on duet songs. Ulysse and his teammate performed on the title Everything I do. As for their opponents, they chose the title Song about my funny life.
Patrick Fiori's special request during the prime
The four nominated students attended, from their benches, the performances of their comrades. When Patrick Fiori walked on stage to sing a song with two students, they were unable to take part.
At the end of the performance, Charles and Noah wanted to perform the song Corsica a capella, in the presence of the star. While the academicians were getting ready to start, the coach of The Voice Kids interrupted them.
“I know we don’t really have the right”
Speaking, Patrick Fiori made a special request to the production. “There’s a Corsican on the team, I think…”indicated the singer, speaking of Thomas, present on the bench of nominees. “I know we don't really have the right, but with the boys' agreement, I would like Thomas that you come join us“he added.
To explain his action, Patrick Fiori described a scene that happened a little earlier in the day. “I saw his eyes at rehearsals. It wasn't possible to spend that moment without his voice because this song is a family story.”, he said, addressing Thomas.
Very touched by the artist's request, the student could not hide his emotion. After a great performance, Patrick Fiori even offered the candidate to accompany him on stage during an upcoming concert. Despite the help of the singer, Thomas was unfortunately not saved by the public, nor by his comrades. He is the third eliminated of the season.
