This Saturday, January 11, 2025, the first Star Academy semi-final will take place. To do this, candidates are entitled to bring back a former student. And Charles’ choice was revealed…
This Saturday, January 4, Charles, 18, confirmed that he was one of the great hopes of the Star Academy. Facing Marine, Frank and Ulysse, the young talent from Pléneuf-Val-André (Côtes-d’Armor) shone on stage with a stunning cover of Rise Like a Phoenix by Conchita Wurst. He also shared a friendly moment with Clara Luciani on Everything for me, to the applause of the audience. This evening also welcomed artists like Mc Solaar and Gaëtan Roussel. Despite a very close competition, the votes were in favor of Charles, allowing him to secure a coveted place in the semi-finals. On the other hand, the adventure ended there for Ulysses. Charles will face Marine for the first semi-final which will take place on Saturday January 11, 2025.
A former candidate will join Charles!
Before the big night, things get tough at the castle. Charles and Marine competed against each other during a singing and dancing evaluation, with a nice bonus for the winner: the choice of a former student for a duet on the prime. Charles, with his original interpretation and his remarkable progress, was able to achieve this victory, to everyone’s surprise. His choice surprised no one: Noah, his ally from the start. Internet users are already impatient to see this complicit duo on stage again. Their resumption of Besides of the Ten Commandments remains a highlight of the season, and everyone hopes that they will perform it again on the prime.
Charles returns home Wednesday
But the real boost of the week is this announcement from Michael Goldman made on Monday January 6, 2025: the two semi-finalists will be able to return home for a day. News that triggered general euphoria in the castle. Marine will reunite with her family in Arras this Tuesday, January 7, 2025, while Charles will head to Pléneuf-Val-André on Wednesday, January 8, 2025. For him, this break is a real breath of fresh air: “Seeing my loved ones again, feeling the support of my region, it will really boost me!”he confided, visibly moved. This family moment could well make the difference and give them a real boost before going on stage on Saturday evening. One thing is certain, Charles seems ready to give everything to get his ticket to the grand final!
