Broadcast exceptionally this Friday evening on TF1 due to sports news, the “Star Academy” will welcome a distinguished guest: Julien Lieb! Just a year ago, the singer from Pau made his entrance into the château and into the hearts of the public, reaching the final against Pierre Garnier thanks to his golden voice. And looking back, the interpreter of “Comme tout le monde” has no regrets at having let victory slip away. “ I wasn't afraid of much when I arrived at “Star Ac” but strangely I was afraid of the image of a winner. Because I knew I wouldn't really do pop Music. Gradually, I saw myself winning the “Star Ac”, because I remain really ambitious and die-hard, but I don't know why, I found that the winning profile stuck to the skin of Pierre, in the sense that it seemed to develop quite naturally, especially at the end. I remember saying to myself: “I think that’s good.” » tells the 25-year-old musician, who is preparing his first album, in a format for Purecharts.
