Star Academy 2024
It was in the presence of their godmother, the singer Clara Luciani, that the students of the “Star Academy 2024” took their evaluations this Tuesday, November 5. A day earlier than usual since the fourth bonus of the season was brought forward to Friday due to rugby the next day on TF1. After Thomas' departure last week, who will be the three candidates in the hot seat?
At the suggestion of the singer of “La Grenade”, Marine, Ulysse and their comrades had to tell their story through a song of their choice. The best of all? Without a doubt Ebony, with her cover of “Zombie” by the Cranberries. “I discovered this song on my mother's iPod when I was very little. When I understood its meaning, I cried all the tears in my body“, says the young woman about her message of peace.

In an unusual register so far, the candidate delivers a performance that wows the teachers and her classmates at the Château. “If I don't succeed in music, I want to be your manager“, Marine tells him when he returns. “This is the first time I've seen the premium Ebony being evaluated.“, souligne Michael Goldman. “I forgot that it was an evaluation”, Grandma Clara Luciani. “She completely transported me.”

Hugues about Marguerite
The teachers also loved Marguerite on “Droole d’ époque”… by Clara Luciani. “I know it's a risk because you're here“, she says to him. “Now, this is a song that resonates with me in quite a few places. Because when I was little, I only expected one thing, and that was to be a woman, an adult. And now that I am, I just want to be a kid again“.
Intense, the young candidate inhabits this song with the talent of interpretation that characterizes her. “She did a masterclass”blurts Noah from his sofa. “She picked me up“, says Hugues, the theater teacher. “She managed to make me forget that she was singing Clara Luciani in front of Clara Luciani (…) And she managed to make me identify with every word she said.”

By resuming “Et Bam!” from Mentissa, Franck came to recount the period of doubt which followed his departure from Congo for France when he was a child. And the lack of legitimacy that has long accompanied it. “He struck again“, admits Michael after a performance as accurate as it is moving. Convinced, Clara Luciani believes that the young man has “already a step into the future and what it will offer for the future. He is ready“.

In the department of disappointments? Ulysse, the Marseille rocker who came to perform “In My Blood” by Shawn Mendes to talk about his anxiety attacks during confinement. At the end of his performance on edge – and on the guitar – the young man displays his dissatisfaction by returning to the Château. “His mother stank!“, he rages, frustrated at having eaten the ends of sentences.
If his comrades try to reassure him, Clara Luciani admits “mixed“, emphasizing wavering on the verses.”When you are alone with your instrument, you have to be able to completely inhabit the stage“, estimates Michael Goldman. “And I'm not sure he has the guns yet“.

Regrets also for Noah, who came to perform “Tourner la tête”, the Amel Bent song covered by Slimane. The rugby player wanted to talk about his adult role with his brothers and sisters, after their parents separated? He ruined the atmosphere. Accompanied by Masséo on the piano, Maureen multiplied the unusual false notes on “I think of you” by Linh. Despite a high level overall, one of the three will leave the Castle for good on Friday evening.
