Since the start of this new season of Star Academy, the students have been taking singing lessons with a new teacher. It was in fact Sofia Morgavi who succeeded Adeline Toniutti. And the two women did not speak to each other, as she tells Télé Star.
She is one of the new teachers at the Château de Dammarie-les-Lys! As Hugues Hamelynck or Fanny Delaigue, Sofia Morgavi joined the Star Academy faculty to support the students of the new class. A singing teacher and lyrical singer, she had the tough responsibility of succeed Adeline Toniutti. After two seasons of imposing her good humor and her exercises which have become legendary, the singer was fired.
In the columns of Télé Star, in an interview to be found in the issue on newsstands this Monday, November 4, Sofia Morgavi explained to us that she had not “no contact” with Adeline Toniutti “upstream” of the show. The reason?
The two women do not know each other. “Being on stage, I didn’t follow the show last year, confided the new singing teacher of the Star Academy students.
But we have one thing in common, and that is a passion for singing.”
Sofia Morgavi wants to “bring [s]a stone in the edifice”
By succeeding Adeline Toniutti, she hopes “bring
[s]a small stone in the building, [s]a little touch, to help young people realize themselves as artists”. And to do this, Sofia Morgavi will be able to count on her first quality: rigor. “I started teaching music at the age of 24, in a middle school in a priority education zone. At the time, the principal said that I was a dynamic young teacher with a well-established natural authority“, she remembered.
“I have never forgotten his analysis and that is how I see myself today”she assured us. And if there is no question of her hitting Adeline Toniutti, the singer has several times suggested that she was disappointed to have been replaced. Guest of TV Magazine’s Buzz TV this Wednesday, October 30, she focused on their different teachings. “I think it’s different, definitely.”she began.
Why was Adeline Toniutti fired?
“The person who replaces me does not have the same profile at all. I know her by name, she is a conservatory professor, it is not at all the same profile as me. I am more of a professor at the opera, with professionals, I have a private school… And then I’m quite rock’n’roll, I like to rap, lyrical, I like to mix everything… It’s different “she estimated. According to Adeline Toniutti, it is
his busy schedule which complicated his return to Star Academy.
“I had an absolutely complicated schedule. I had the duo with Vincent Niclo. I was working as a singer, and this book was coming out. The thing is, we don’t have the right to being a singing teacher and singing at the same time. You must devote yourself entirely to your position as a singing teacher.
she explained. For their part, Noah, Julie, Ulysse, Marine and the others assiduously follow Sofia Morgavi’s classes.
