Singer Jenifer is the first winner of the famous TF1 telecrochet presented by Nikos Aligas. But could she be back more than twenty years after her participation as a teacher? Response in an interview published by Tele-Leisure this Saturday, November 23.
It's been more than twenty years since Jenifer Bartoli was revealed to the general public in season 1 of Star Academy. On January 12, 2002, the little brunette won the first edition of the telecrochet of TF1 in front of 12 million viewers. Ten albums later, the singer is now an essential figure in the French audiovisual landscape, notably thanks to her participation as a jury in The Voice for six seasons.
This week, the 42-year-old artist was back at the castle of Dammarie-les-Lys after two decades without having set foot there. The students of the class of 2024 were delighted to welcome him. Shared pleasure for Jenifer. “It feels so weird! It’s been many, many years since I’ve been back here. I entered the castle in October 2001 and you were not born, I think… And I came out on January 12, 2002“, she exclaimed during the daily newspaper on Tuesday, November 19.
For the moment, Jenifer has no plans to join the Star Ac' teaching team
The singer will be present for the prime this Saturday, November 23 to sing with the academics. On this occasion, she spoke in the columns of Télé-Loisirs. Asked about a possible return as a teacher at Star Ac', Jenifer certified that it was not in the pipeline. “Oh no! I was a coach, a talent coach (in The Voice). But teacher… I don't know if I would be up to the task of teaching someone… Me who lacks so much discipline“, she told our colleagues.
Indeed, away from TV since 2021 to devote herself to her musical career, Jenifer had agreed to become a “super coach” at the start of the year in the thirteenth season of The Voice. On February 17, for 7 Days TV, she explained: “I like to be 100% in an adventure. And there, if I do it, if I take this risk – because it’s not a seat in which I am always very comfortable, you have to judge , justify, and everything is very subjective – if I take this 'position', it's because the role entrusted to me is to vote with the public in the room.
