A breathtaking performance! Ebony, already qualified for the semi-finals, once again proved that she deserves her place in the “Star Academy”. Since she joined the castle in October, the 20-year-old young woman has never been named. On the other hand, she found herself among the best students of the week three times, which allowed her to win the precious immunity twice. She is also the first academician to have won her ticket for the “Star Academy” tour. And this evening, Ebony was able to go on stage with a light heart, free from the pressure of eliminations. But the teachers wanted to put her to the test by making her sing “The Hymn to Love”, a famous title by Edith Piaf brought up to date by Celine Dion during the opening ceremony of the Paris Games in July.
Like an opera aria
Dressed in a white dress and accompanied by the Loiret symphony orchestra, the young woman lit up the stage. On social networks, fans of “Star Academy” can’t believe it. “ She's not human », exclaims one of them. “ She is one of the best singers that Star Ac has known », writes another. On the eliminated bench, Marine, Franck and Charles have tears in their eyes. “ You make us experience such powerful feelings tonight », says Nikos Aliagas at the end of the performance, while the audience is still standing to applaud Ebony. “ You've scored points again. It's very very strong », he continues. “ It was a timeless moment for me. I hold back my tears a little. It was incredible. I thank everyone. And thanks to Édith Piaf also for making such a song “, Ebony said, her voice trembling. “ It's jaw-dropping because we know this song by heart. You did it with the necessary humility, which allowed you to have your star moment and to be touched by what is happening here and now. Your eyes said everything about the end of this song. You were splendid », Launched Hugues Hamelynck, the theater teacher. “ She worked this song like an opera aria. It was exceptional. Well done. You are a great, you are a diva “, concluded Sofia Morgavi.

By the end of the evening, Ebony will take the stage again to perform a piece alongside Clara Luciani, the godmother of the promotion. The two artists will perform “Coeur”, a catchy track taken from the singer's eponymous album, released in 2021. And once the public has chosen the three students who will join Ebony in the semi-final, the academician will have the opportunity to choose who she wants to face in the next stage. To be continued.
