No one believes in them like she does, no one! After spending several days at the Château de Dammarie-les-Lys, the “incredible” Clara Luciani, godmother of the 2024 class of the “Star Academy”, orchestrated this Friday evening the fifth bonus of the new edition of the TF1 telecrochet . After the elimination of Thomas last Saturday, the stakes were enormous for Ulysse, Noah and Maureen, in the hot seat this week, marked by the visit of Brigitte Macron.
The 12 students still in the competition began in chorus on “Recommence me”, the Santa song which serves as this season’s anthem. After welcoming their godmother on the set, Ebony, Marguerite and Masseo offered a convincing medley of hits by Clara Luciani (“La Grenade”, “My sister” and “Respire encore”), extremely invested. The very wise Julie didn't get a gift: she was asked to cover “The Singer”, the unsingable hit by Daniel Balavoine but “in a rock version”.
“You realize that this song is 45 years old,” rejoiced Nikos, forgetting to remember that it was massacred with each edition of his telecrochet. Regardless of the concert of false notes, the teachers are charmed. “Rock and roll has entered into you, darling,” says teacher Sofia Morgavi, daring the comparison with… Johnny Hallyday! It's always like that at “Star Ac'”, the more false it is, the more it drips with compliments.
Marguerite wins deserved immunity
Ebony and Marine let loose in a trio with Philippe Katerine, one of the evening's guests, on “Louxor j'adore”. After the commercial, Vitaa and Emma, wrapped in thick white duvets, resume “À fleur de toi”. “I was connected with you, you are a warrior,” says, to the angels, Slimane’s soul mate. Franck, Marguerite and Ebony, the three best students of the week then pay tribute to Françoise Hardy, all in sobriety on “Personal Message”. They didn't steal their ranking, all three of them are above their little friends. Marguerite wins the deserved immunity.
A few seconds later, however, she is much less convincing, knocking out Queen Beyoncé with 5 other academics… “It lacked a bit of precision”, says one of the teachers with an innate sense of understatement… A cute moment allows us to turn the page: when Maïa improvises a little tune for her dad, who declares his love for his daughter at length on set. Everyone sheds a tear and Nikos rows in to interrupt the long monologue: “He doesn't give up, he is very, very strong. You’re lucky Maïa to have a dad like that,” jokes Nikos Aliagas. After the commercial, we barely hear the young blonde with Charles under the frenzied guitar riffs of Thomas Dutronc on “Les cactus”.
Room for students on waivers. Maureen performs on “Beautiful” by Christina Aguilera and, behind our television, we wonder why she was nominated when she is clearly one of the best in the promotion. Noah and Ulysse are pale on Teddy Swims and Raphaël… Just as we were starting to yawn, Marguerite raises the level in a duet and emotion with Lucky Love. Clara Luciani is still as motivated after the advert, to unveil her new single “Tout pour moi”, with Franck.
Ulysses is saved by the public
To thank her Nikos Aliagas offers her a bowl with her first name like all the students at the Château. She must be delighted. Not sure that Harry Styles will be if he comes across X during the performance of Masseo, Marine and Julie on his hit “Sign of the Times”. There are 5 minutes left before we find out who the public has decided to eliminate, time to hear the flashy Charles on another song that we hear every year on “Star Ac’”: “Comme d’usage”. The staging proposed by the blond guy who must express successive emotions is grotesque… It's 11:42 p.m. and we're bored while waiting for the end of this prime…
The omnipresent Clara Luciani says goodbye, her voice trembling, after “Let it be” with all the students, whom she promises to bring back to Dammarie-les-Lys this evening. We finally move on to elimination. Ulysses is saved by the audience. There remains Noah and Maureen, who must be decided by their comrades. It's cruel. “This is really the worst time,” says Maïa. Everyone apologizes and declares their love to their two comrades before voting. Noah gets as many votes as Maureen. 4 everywhere. Last to pass, Masseo must decide between them, in tears. He votes for Maureen. Noah is eliminated. Everyone cries before returning to the Castle, waiting for the next one to be eliminated next week.
