“The slightly embarrassing uncle”, Nikos Aliagas attracts the wrath of viewers

TF1 launched season 12 of Star Academy in the presence of a renewed teaching staff, but also and above all of Pierre Garnierthe winner of the previous edition, and Clara Lucianithe singer behind the hits To grenades, The rest or Breathe again who, now a mother, has agreed to take on the role of godmother, succeeding James Blunt and Vitaa. Moreover, upon reading the first comments read on social networks, the singer can be delighted to be congratulated for her way of taking her role very seriously, while she has at the same time been the subject of very positive remarks regarding her way of approaching the profession and the first advice she was able to give to the students of the class of 2024.

Indeed, on X (ex-Twitter) we welcome the speech of the interpreter of Everything for me who has just operated comeback with a new single auguring the release of his third opus My bloodin the month of November. She cited Beyoncé and remembered a sequence that had become iconic where the star saw her hair winding in the blades of a fan, helped by several security guards to try to create both a diversion and help them escape. The American singer nevertheless continued the show, without adding anything. “Clara Luciani who mentions Beyoncé to protect all the students of the class of 2024, a quality godmother”we can read, reminding us that despite the circumstances we had to know how to continue the show, whatever the cost. “She really is such a sweet and caring godmother”we could read among others.

Nikos Aliagas heckled by Pierre Garnier

But the singer is not the only one to have made headlines this Saturday evening. On X, we can see in parallel that Nikos Aliagas was not spared. And for good reason, the host made a blunder which did not go unnoticed neither in the eyes of the viewers, nor in the ear of Pierre Garnier who immediately grabbed his microphone to point it out. The one who established himself as the photographer of the stars confused the anthems of the two previous seasons and mentioned the title Don’t leave without me to discuss the 2023 class. Pierre Garnier immediately rectified the situation since this song was the anthem of season 11, while he himself was in the studio in the company of Julien, Helena, Djebril and Axel, to name only those there, in order to record a new version of the song At the end of my dreams by Jean-Jacques Goldman, which was elevated to the rank of 2023 anthem.

More broadly, Nikos Aliagas has had to come under fire since last night on social networks. We have actually published numerous comments against him, particularly regretting his repeated calls to Pierre Garnier throughout the evening. “Nikos who says Pierre every three seconds…”, “Nikos still too much, if he doesn’t say Pierre Garnier every minute he dies”or even “Nikos can’t say a sentence without Pierre Garnier”we regret among others. But that’s not all… We can also read other harsher remarks about the presenter, such as “Nikos the annoying uncle at family dinners”. In other words, the latter is far from unanimous.

Which audiences for Star Academy ?

Season 12 of Star Academy promises to be particularly intense, after we discovered the faces of the 14 of them who could well shine with their interpretation of the hit Start me again of Santa, chosen as the anthem of the year. Several developments have been announced at the Château de Dammarie-lès-Lys, starting with the renewal of the teaching team, including Marlène Schaff who has taken over the stage expression, while Lucie Bernardoni remains a coach. At the same time, it was announced that a new rule would change the face of the competition and that two personalities would interfere in the game, namely Julien Doré and Lara Fabian who will play a very special role.

We can bet that these changes will allow the first channel to progress in terms of audiences, because the first prime on October 12 did not unite as much as expected. Star Academy was followed by 3.1 million viewers on average, or 16.4% audience share, far behind the soap opera Murder on the Blue Coast with a certain Jean-Pierre Foucault as a guest…
