An expected duo with the return of Charles
This week, the candidates had the opportunity to invite a former friend to sing with them. After shining on All of Me by John Legend and during a dance battle, Ebony was chosen for this opportunity. She decided to sing with Charles, eliminated in the first semi-final. A choice that surprised more than one since everyone expected to see Marguerite return. Together, they will perform Writing’s on the Wall by Sam Smith, a performance which promises to be rich in emotions. For their final performance before the final, Ebony and Franck will have to choose a free song and dedicate it to an important person in their journey.

Before singing, they will read a short text explaining their choice. Marine will accompany them on the piano for those emotional moments. This ordeal particularly affected Ebony, who hesitated for a long time about her choice of song. During a rehearsal, she said she was considering Perdue of Yseult but remained undecided. The suspense therefore remains unresolved regarding what she and Franck will present during the prime. An event not to be missed this Saturday, January 18, from 9:10 p.m., to find out who will join Marine in the Star Academy 2024 final!
