There are only six left trying to reach the precious final of the “Star Academy”: Ebony, Charles, Marine, Franck, Marguerite and Ulysse. And in recent weeks, departures have become more and more difficult. During the previous prime, it was Maïa who had to leave the castle. But for the six students of the castle, the adventure still has many surprises in store. This week, the teachers have decided to give their Christmas presents early: not only is no one leaving the castle this week, but the former students of the year have returned to try to get a precious place on the 2025 tourbus.
The return of the eliminated
The week being placed under the sign of the public, they have their say on this evening's prime. Thus, they allowed Ulysse to perform one of his pieces and Franck to sing a duet with Loïc Nottet. But the fans are also responsible for rescuing an eliminated student to allow him to join the tour. To help them make a choice, production decided to bring back the former academicians. All the eliminated students, Maureen and Maïa included, appeared on the studio stage to perform “Noël Ensemble” alongside the six academicians still in the running. During the evening, the seven academicians who left the castle at the gates of the tour were able to defend their place in music: Thomas covered “Before You Go”, the piece by Lewis Capaldi. Paul chose to sing “My Way”, the emblematic title of Franck Sinatra. Emma performed “Avant toi”, a song by Slimane and Vitaa. Maylis tackled pop star Dua Lipa's “Don't Start Now.” Noah preferred to sing “Changer” by Gims. Finally, Masséo, the youngest in the class, took over “Les Planètes” by Mr. Pokora. Together, they then sang “Let us sing”, the hit by the French group Gold. One last moment of sharing together before the big announcement.

During the prime, and since the announcement made by production on Thursday, fans have tried to gather votes for their favorite candidate on social networks. “ Emma! Be objective, she is the one who deserves the most. She has a sick stage presence », « Julie was eliminated at the gates of the tour with zero eliminations thus far. Let's take it on tour, please » or even « Noah so deserves the tour », We can read on X. Opinions seem divided. However, at the end of the bonus, it is time to announce the name of the winner. “ It was very close but it was Emma who joined the tour “, declares Nikos Aliagas. “ It's crazy, I'm so happy she's coming with us », Confided Marguerite a few moments later. “ I'm not surprised because she deserves it, it was her dream », exclaimed Marine, who caused a sensation this evening by covering a Céline Dion hit. From February, fans will find Emma on stage as well as the eight other academicians already selected for the 2025 tour.
