“Star Academy”: a student drafted for the tour, unprecedented in the history of the show

It’s a (very) nice Christmas gift. During the “Star Academy” daily, broadcast this Thursday, December 19 on TF1, Karima Charni came to announce to the students a great first in the history of the show. During the live bonus next Saturday, viewers will be able to vote for one of their comrades eliminated since the start of the adventure to join the top 8 of the tour. Already qualified, Ebony, Franck, Marine, Charles, Marguerite, Ulysse, Maïa and Maureen will therefore be joined by a ninth talent to choose between Julie, Masséo, Emma, ​​Noah, Paul, Thomas and Maylis.

The six students still in the running had already had quite a surprise when they learned that Franck and Marguerite, named after the evaluations, would not be put to the public vote on Saturday. But this new twist is on a whole new level. “They will all have the opportunity to sing a song during the prime“, Karima Charni then explains. “And only during the prime, the public will be able to vote for the student they wish to see integrated alongside you.” The host specifies, however, that the one chosen by the viewers will not return to the castle.
