After winning her place in the final, Ebony spoke at length to Michael Goldman during the debrief, notably about her duet with Zaz on Dazzled by the night. An exchange during which she received a warning that was useful to say the least.
A duo that left its mark. During the second semi-final of the Star Academy, Ebony had to face Franck to get her place in the final. If the twenty-year-old young woman managed to obtain her place for the final round of this edition brilliantly, she also left an impression on viewers thanks to her performance on Dazzled by the night by Zaz. A song that she covered in a duet with the star and which could have put her at odds. This Sunday, January 19, during the prime debrief, director Michael Goldman spoke at length about this passage with the academic. And bluntly, he warned her about the risks that she (fortunately) avoided.
Michael Goldman’s warning (Star Academy) to Ebony regarding Zaz: “It could be a trap“
Indeed, during her duet with Zaz, Ebony was very surprised when the artist decided to push a few additional notes at the end of the song. For good reason, during the rehearsals at the castle, the singer had not done them. It was only when she arrived on set, during the last rehearsals, that she added her famous notes. “At first I was just looking at it, so I experimented a bit. We did two or three of them during rehearsals. But what I did on set was improvised.“, recalled Ebony. A risk which paid off since the director then told her that she was leaving.”Alright” came out during her visit. However, Michael Goldman then took the liberty of warning her: “Be careful, it could be a trap“, he then warned, because Zaz is used to improvising on her own songs. Which was not the case for Ebony.
-Michael Goldman (Star Academy): this little compliment paid to Ebony
After warning Ebony about the many liberties that artists can take when they sing their songs at the Star AcademyMichael Goldman then took care to congratulate her on her passage. Because according to him, if Zaz allowed himself to push his additional notes at the end of his title, it was in no way a trap on his part. “I don’t think it was to trick you. I think she was like, ‘I have, in front of me, a singer of a very high level and we can both have fun,’” he said. An opinion which must have pleased the young finalist very much.
