Six Academicians named this week
Everyone will defend a title of their choice. The best candidate, designated by the teachers, will be immunized and will participate in the big tour scheduled for next February. He will join Ebony, already selected on Saturday after her impressive performance on I'm sick by Serge Lama. Another Academician will be chosen by his comrades, while the remaining six will be nominated for the bonus on Saturday November 30. One of them will definitely leave the adventure, while the others will qualify for the live concerts that this 2024 class will give throughout France.

To support students in this crucial stepformer emblematic candidates from last year are returning to the castle. “As it's the prime of the tour and we're going to do a sort of handover with the previous season, which was one of the biggest tour successes of 2024: the alumni of last year's tour will come and attend the evaluations and give advice and coach this year's students!”announced Michael Goldman during the after-party on Saturday, November 23. So, Candice, Helena and Lénie will arrive this Monday and will spend the night at the castle. They will stay until Tuesday for the evaluations, where they will find Axel, Julien and Pierre.

However, a key figure of the 2023 edition is missing. Djebril Slatniwho had spent nine weeks in the adventure and participated in the tour, was not invited by the production. This absence did not escape Internet users, who expressed their dissatisfaction. Djebril reacted in a story on Instagram: “It seems that you miss me”, he wrote, before sharing a behind-the-scenes video of his latest music video, Muse.
Djebril denounces inequalities
This is not the first time that Djebril criticizes the production. In June 2024, after the final concert of the class of 2023 at the Accor Arena in Paris, he confided on Instagram: “Not all artists are in the same boat.” He added: “I close a chapter in which, week after week, I could grow in the kindness of my comrades, counterbalanced by an ambient climate which forced me to realize that 'I was not in my place'.” This new sidelining seems to give weight to his criticisms of the production and could fuel a still unresolved conflict.
