Clearly, the “Star Academy” Christmas bonus was full of surprises. While no student was eliminated, a former candidate, who left the castle in recent weeks, was finally drafted to join the big Zénith tour planned for 2025. And during the evening, it was finally Emma who was acclaimed by viewers. Throughout the show, Charles, Ulysse, Marguerite and Franck shared duets with the Gypsy Kings or Raphaël while Marine amazed everyone with her cover of “All by Myself” by Céline Dion, a virtuoso when she was sick these last few days. At the same time, Nikos Aliagas transformed himself into “Father Nikos”, giving surprises to each student, like Marguerite who was able to meet her niece born a few days ago. For her part, Ebony was treated to a very nice gift!

“If you knew how people spoke to me about you”
Big favorite of the competition, the 20-year-old singer couldn't believe her eyes when she received a video message from Tayc. “ Ebony, Ebony, Ebony… If you only knew how I was told about you. Managers, agents, my networks… Everywhere! I'm being flooded with Ebony. Listen, I'm in Dakar, I have concerts at the moment, so I can't come see you on Saturday » assures the interpreter of “I Love You” in a video where he is… eating: “ Keep doing what you're doing, tear it up. I see a little of your performances, I hear your voice. Really, tear it up! You have all my support, all my love ».
It was then that Tayc made him a proposition: “ Listen, maybe as soon as you come off the show, we'll chat a little because I have a few things to offer you… “. Obviously, Ebony exploded with joy at her idol’s proposal: “ Thank you for your message, I’m so happy! Thank you for your support, looking forward to meeting you when I get out, as late as possible “. This is not a first since Tayc has just collaborated with Candice, flagship candidate of the previous “Star Academy” promotion. They recently released the single “Joli coeur”. “ Tayc was really an artist that I listened to in my room. He made a little dedication to me at the castle, and I had to do a live performance where I sang his song. The next day he DMed me saying he had something to offer me. He had the idea of signing me to his label and it happened » she explains. History repeats itself!
