Friday December 13, 2024, a new bonus from the Star Academy was broadcast on TF1. The program had to exceptionally change its programming date due to the election of Miss France 2025, Saturday December 14, 2024. Since its return, the show, presented by Nikos Aliagas, has captivated viewers thanks to its promising young talents. However, a well-known figure in the program was not unanimous during his visit, and it is not a student. Indeed, Kendji Girac the former winner of The Voice returned once again to share duets with Ulysse and Maïa during this prime. But his repeated presence began to seriously irritate some viewers. The singer had, for example, already come to the castle of Dammarie-les-Lys on Thursday December 5, 2024 to make the academicians work.
“I propose to permanently eliminate Kendji from the castle”
During this bonus, viewers did not fail to make their dissatisfaction known on social networks, in particular on X (formerly Twitter). “Kendji, we can’t take it anymore. He’s come 1000 times this season”was outraged by a user “Stop with Kendji…”wrote another. “I propose to permanently eliminate Kendji from the castle this evening”also suggested a netizen. “They are forcing too much with Kendji… it wants to improve the image, but we don’t forget”we could also read. In April 2024, Kendji Girac experienced a personal tragedy. The singer accidentally shot in the chest following an argument with his wife, Soraya. This event pushed him to temporarily withdraw from the media scene to recharge his batteries. “I cut myself off a little from everything”he confided in November 2024 during his visit to A Sunday in the countryside on France 2. “I really needed to take the time and recharge my batteries. The only thing I needed was my daughter, my wife, my family”he said.
Furthermore, during the Star Academy prime, Friday December 13, 2024, seven students were still in competition. After Maureen’s departure the previous week, Ulysse, Maïa, Marguerite and Marine were subject to a vote by viewers to avoid elimination. Ebony, Charles and Franck, for their part, had already secured their place.
