Julie gives a dazzling performance on the Star Academy set

Julie, the young Swiss academician of the 2024 season of Star Academycaused a sensation this week. After their evaluations, the faculty expressed some reservations, finding his performance technically perfect but a little too wise, almost academic on the title Who I am by Celine Dion. In search of a more daring performance, the teachers dreamed of seeing her venture into a much more explosive rock register, which would force her to leave her comfort zone. This challenge was met this Friday, November 8, 2024, when they asked him to resume The singer by Daniel Balavoine in a rock version. A major challenge that would prove to be a revelation.

A fiery performance

Dressed all in black, Julie appeared on stage, beginning the first notes of the song with her crystalline, captivating and perfectly controlled voice. But very quickly, she increased the intensity and, by the time of the chorus, she literally transformed into a real rockstar. Backed by guitars, Julie launched into a high-flying performance. On a podium that gradually rose, she released all her energy, even taking risks with her voice while remaining perfectly in tune. At the teachers' table, you could read the wonder in their eyes, those who had so hoped to see her let go. Julie had just completed her biggest challenge yet, impressing everyone in the studio. Her transformation into a rocker seemed complete, and she ended her performance in an explosive finale that left no one indifferent.

It is unanimous

The reaction of the public was not long in coming: a unanimous ovation greeted Julie, the entire public stood up to pay tribute and felicity to her, joined by her teachers. Sofia Morgavi, her singing teacher, did not hide her enthusiasm: “It’s amazing, my Julie! Well done! We can say that rock'n'roll entered you tonight, it was exceptional darling. Everything was there, in the posture, in the look, you played with your tone… It’s a turning point!”. Clara Luciani, godmother of this season, shared this opinion, showing admiration: “I saw a princess this week during the evaluations, and tonight, it's Johnny! Julie showed us that we only saw a tiny part of his potential”. Same story for Internet users, under the spell of his performance: “Wow she IMPRESSED me, a new turning point for JULIE la”, “We see another artistic face of Julie, it's also good to move away from the image of the good little girl, a very good performance, her best since her arrival at the castle”, “No, but Julie is coming from dead we agree???”, “Julie she made 0 wrong notes + the performance was incredible nah I officially need this queen on the tour”.
