The Star Academy was once the meeting place for great international artists. However, over the last few seasons, the show has rather favored French-speaking stars to come and host prime time alongside the students. This Monday, January 13, Michael Goldman, the director of season 12, makes a big announcement to the three remaining candidates: they will meet a huge international star in the coming hours. His identity is kept secret, enough to liven up social networks.
In the daily newspaper of this Tuesday, January 14, we discover at the very end that it is Lisa from the K-pop group Black Pink, one of the most famous popstars in the world. The enthusiasm is immense. A short extract showing the meeting between the rapper and the students was broadcast, leaving the entirety of their exchange for the daily newspaper of the day. We’ll be content with a simple selfie of the four artists while waiting for 5 p.m…. The audience for the show could experience a very exceptional peak when we know the immense commitment of K-pop fans when it comes acts of their favorite star. On X, they are on the starting blocks.

Un casting international
Finally a little spice and surprise. However, at the time it was the classic Star Academy recipe. With a little perspective today, at the time we managed to trivialize the arrival of Rihanna and Beyonce on the set of the show. For a time, Céline Dion, Kylie Minogue, Mariah Carey were even the godmothers of talent show. International stars came to perform alongside the students and none of these personalities seemed to intimidate the production. Britney Spears, Alicia Keys, Chris Brown, Katy PerryMadonna, Céline Dion each made the trip to sing from studio 217 in Plaine Saint-Denis.
Beyonce came twice, the first time on season 3 to perform Baby Boyand a second time during season 8 with If I Were a Boy. Celine Dion sang I’m Alive during season 2 and Rihanna shared her title Umbrella with Lucie, a candidate from season 7. Maureen, also a student from season 7, shared the stage with Alicia Keys while Joanna had the opportunity to sing with Katy Perry during season 8. During this same promotion, Britney Spears came to ignite the stage with her hit Womanizer.
