During the last Star Academy bonus broadcast on TF1 on Saturday January 4, 2025 and at the end of which the names of the four semi-finalists were revealed, Nikos Aliagas made an unexpected announcement which could only delight the students as well as viewers.
So ! The names of the four semi-finalists of season 12 of Star Academy are now known. On Saturday January 4, TF1 broadcast a new tele-hook bonus during which the five students still in the running competed, surrounded by several personalities including the former candidate of the class of 2023 Helenaor even MC Solaar, Gaëtan Roussel and the godmother of this 2024 edition: Clara Luciani. It is Ulysses who bowed, for the benefit ofEbony who is a favorite given the compliments she regularly receives during the weekly evaluations at the Château de Dammarie-lès-Lys and the opinions left by viewers on social networks. Thus, the 20-year-old from Ile-de-France will face Franck on January 18, a week after Marine et Charles competed for first place in the final.

But the evening was punctuated by other more or less significant events which challenged the viewers, such as a performance by one of the students which literally transcended them, or this gap by Michael Goldman. In fact, the director of Star Academy who is usually perceived as a discreet and reserved man surprised them during a college session around the tube I Gotta Feeling of the Black Eyed Peas, provided by the five students still in competition. The son of the French people’s favorite personality has actually started to move on the entertainment stage. “This is the first time I’ve seen Michael Goldman move so much!” or even “Stop everything, Michael HommeDoré Goldman is dancing!!!!”we can note on social networks since yesterday.

Some dates will be tripled
The other surprise of the evening which probably took the faithful of Star Academy is theunexpected announcement from Nikos Aliagas. The star host of Channel One took advantage of a lull to look straight at the camera and suggest that he had “a little announcement to make” in a way “very friendly“, he who confirmed as recently as last week that a saison 13 was already in preparation, and that castings were even open. Nikos Aliagas then continued by ensuring that the next tour Star Academy which is due to start on February 21 in Epernay (Marne) will be expanded with several additional dates. “More than 150,000 tickets have already been sold, 150,000 people will come and applaud you, just for you”he recalled from the outset.

In the process, he clarified his remarks, provoking the joy of Franck, Ulysse, Marine, Charles and Ebony, but also that of the spectators seated in the stands. “Some cities are already full like Lille, Brussels, Nantes, Le Mans”he added proudly, before confirming: “We had to double or even triple certain dates, that concerns you too”. The cities of Lille and Dijon already seem to be included in this extension, although the ticket office has not confirmed any new sales at this time. It therefore seems that we will have to wait a little longer before being able to obtain the precious sesames.

The class of 2023 struggles to fully take on the tour
Already last year, the students of the 11th season of Star Academy won by Pierre Garnier had embraced success on stage. Their tour was one of the most important of the year and the show played at the Accor Arena in Paris in June was even broadcast on TF1 at the same time, witness to the notoriety of this 2024 class and the success of the show performed as far as Belgium on several occasions. But certain dates also had to be canceled due to the health of several students and the intense pace imposed on them.

We remember in particular the words of Axel on this subject, who had confided in complete transparency to Rainbow Studio in the month of July. “We came back thinking that we would have 19 dates max. We were clearly told, ‘If you fill half, it will already be crazy’. Then we add one, then two, then three, then 30, then 50 “. Ultimately, the tour had 70 dates! “I think we weren’t necessarily well prepared for the intense format. That means we haven’t had a personal life for four months. Our life is the Star Ac tour. Which is very cool because we dreamed of doing it but I think there is no artist on Earth who says to himself at some point in his life, ‘Hey, it’s cool if for four months, I don’t live more and I’m just doing the tour’”he also admitted. What will happen to the winners of the class of 2024?
