There were five for four places. This Saturday, January 4, 2025, Ebony, Marine, Ulysse, Charles and Franck gave everything to try to convince TF1 viewers that they deserved to qualify for the semi-finals. If the first of them, already immune, was not put to the vote, this was not the case for her comrades. Discover below the names of those who remain in the race to win the Star Academy.
It was the most important bonus of the adventure. The one who would determine the names of the four semi-finalists of season twelve of the Star Academy. It took place this Saturday January 4, 2025 on TF1 from 9:10 p.m. If Ebony had no pressure, certain to stay at the castle of Dammarie-les-Lys after having been immunized by the teachers this week, the other candidates had to fight to win the hearts of the program’s fans. Because everything happened between Marine, Ulysse, Charles and Franck, under the eyes of Clara Luciani, the godmother of this edition.
One of the favorites of this 2024 class, Marine, who had already participated in The Voice Kids nine years ago, showed all his potential on Bad Boy of Helena, who was present for the occasion. It was the second time that the two young women shared the stage together after performing Summer Body several months ago. She also impressed solo with a song/dance tableau on I Am What I Am by Gloria Gaynor. For his part, Franck, very moved this week, made his powerful voice speak on a hit by Dalida, To not live alone. Charles shone on Rise Like a Phoenix by Conchita Wurst while Ulysses defended his place on Cinderella Telephone. Note that Ebony upset the entire set by declaiming The hymn to love by Édith Piaf, covered by Céline Dion during the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
Was Ulysses saved a seventh time by the public?
At 11:30 p.m., Nikos Aliagas finally announced at the end of the suspense that after the elimination of Marguerite last Saturday, it was Ulysse’s turn to leave the telecrochet. He will have been saved six times but not seven by the public. Ebony, Charles, Marine and Franck are therefore qualified for the semi-finals. As usual, they will take place in two parts. As the first to reach this stage of the competition thanks to her victory in the evaluation marathon, Ebony then had the privilege of choosing who she wanted to face in her semi-final. After a few moments of reflection, she preferred Franck. “It’s very symbolic“, she explained. “Ebony and I were born on the same day“, specified Franck. Consequence of this decision: one of them will be eliminated at the gates of the final. For their part, Marine and Charles will challenge each other in songs next week, on January 11. So who will succeed Pierre Garnier? The bets are off.
