This Saturday, January 4, 2025, Ebony had the opportunity to sing The Hymn to Love by Edith Piaf. A grandiose moment that moved more than one person.
After several weeks of competition within the castle, after several eliminations, qualifications for the tour and great moments of surprises, the adventure of the Star Academy will take a new turn this Saturday, January 4, 2025 at the end of the prime. Indeed, Ebony, Marine, Franck, Charles and Ulysse will participate in the final bonus which will allow four of them to be qualified for the semi-final. Fans of the show already know: Ebony will be able to take a breather this evening and take advantage of her bonus since she is the first qualified following her more than successful evaluations. His teachers decided to offer him this privilege. But during the evening, she will nevertheless have to make a difficult choice: choose who will be the second semi-finalist alongside her.
A lively emotion on Ebony's performance
To launch this bonus, the students entered Live or survive by Daniel Balavoine… A message to say that the evening is indeed decisive. And inevitably, Clara Luciani, godmother of this season, entered after them to take part in this somewhat special bonus. “There is one thing that you all won, it’s my heart”she said to encourage the academicians. After the first battle of the four students in danger on I'm just a song by Ginette Reno, it was Ebony who took possession of the stage.
The young woman had the opportunity to interpret The Hymn to Love by Edith Piaf. In a white dress, surrounded by an orchestra, Ebony caused a sensation. Whether in the vocal notes or in the emotion transmitted, it is a new challenge met brilliantly for the academician. During her performance, several people shed a few small tears, like Clara Luciani, Marine, or even Marlène Schaff who was left speechless by this performance. In the audience, Ebony's father also took out the tissues in front of his daughter's magnificent performance. “You still scored very, very strong points,” greeted Nikos Aliagas.
The public gives its verdict
“It was a truly timeless moment,” admitted Ebony, herself under emotion. As for the viewers, there is no doubt, they are delighted that the young woman is the first to qualify. On Twitter, they widely commented on this great moment. “Ebony has so much gold in her vocal cords”writes one of them. Another viewer highlights her diva side, as Sofia Morgavi did a few weeks earlier: “Ebony, thank you for everything. Diva, perfect. Amazing.” So, was his place in the semi-final deserved? “She deserves, but she deserves, a huge career that matches her talent”says a viewer who wants to see her have a great career as a singer.
