And the big winner of the “Star Academy” is… Marine! Saturday live on TF1, the finale of season 12 of the TV show ended with the tears of choice from the candidate from Arras, chosen by 65% of viewers over Ebony. “ Mom, I won! Thank you, thank you. I didn't expect it, Ebony deserved to win too. I would love to cut the trophy in half to give him half » she reacted, in shock, after Nikos Aliagas said her first name, generating thunderous cries and applause on the set. Throughout the evening, the young singer continued to offer magnificent musical performances, shining solo on “A corps perdu” by Grégory Lemarchal and sharing a touching duet with Mr. Pokora.

“You’re going to do good to people.”
Released for the first time in 2022 in a homemade version recorded in a recording booth with her dad, this piano ballad was conceived by Marine following a romantic disappointment. “ “Ma fault” is the first song I wrote and composed a few years ago. She talks about the toxic relationships you can experience in your life. Unhealthy relationships that we cannot necessarily escape, that make us stay » explained the 24-year-old singer to her teachers, amazed by her maturity. “ You write beautiful lyrics and on top of that, you are a wonderful melodist. That’s the most important thing, it makes our hearts sing. You showed us your diary and you sang it in front of us. This is a huge gift. People will take your refrains to heart. You're going to do good to people » predicted Marlène Schaff.
