Eliminated at the gates of the semi-finals to everyone’s surprise, Ulysse will have marked season 12 of the “Star Academy”. His determination, despite a journey strewn with pitfalls, unfortunately did not allow him to convince the public to vote in his favor for a seventh time. “ Honestly, I never left the castle and said to myself: “I’m definitely going back tonight.” I have quite the opposite mentality. I didn’t have an estimate, I didn’t know who was going to leave. And I never ruled out the possibility that it was me, so I was prepared for it a little » confesses to our colleagues from Purepeople the 25-year-old singer. Week after week, Ulysse learned to surpass himself even if his record of nominations took a toll on his confidence: “ At the beginning, it was complicated, it’s true that the desire to give up comes quite quickly. But we are so well surrounded, whether it be friends at the castle, teachers… And once we are saved by the public, we no longer want to give up, because people believe in us . Just for them, we must fight and go to the end ».

“The one who for me deserves the most…”
If sharing accommodation was a little difficult to understand for this loner by nature, Ulysses has no regrets about his adventure. “ I learned a lot of things about my voice that I didn’t know.

I get a lot of positives from it » admits the young artist from Marseille, who finally reveals why he never wore the socks that Marine gave him: “ It would have made him so happy if I wore them! So just for that reason, I never put them ».

Invited on the set of “Quotidien” last night in the company of Marguerite and Maïa, Ulysse did not escape a question about the outcome of the “Star Academy”. Who does he think deserves their ticket to the grand final? “ I would like to see Charles in the final and Ebony because she is too strong » replied the self-proclaimed “bitter” of the season, whose heart is wavering. And who will win? Ulysses delivers his prognosis to Purepeople. « I would like to see Charles win the adventure » assures the singer, who has already released a very touching first clip before the “Star Academy”. Ulysse, however, believes that one student is ahead of the competition: “ The one who deserves the most for me would be Ebony. She’s too strong. She sings really well, she manages to create song-dance scenes with an ease that is quite disconcerting. To me it would be logical for her to win ». « But my heart tends more towards Charles » he adds. Will his favorite win his duel against Marine this Saturday, January 11? Response in a few days…
