Marine and Charles compete in the first semi-final of season 12 of “Star Academy”.
Two great voices who have had very different journeys at the Château de Dammarie-les-Lys.
An evening to follow from 9:10 p.m. on TF1, streaming on TF1+ and live with commentary on TF1info.
This is their last march. Marine and Charles face each other this Saturday evening in the first semi-final of season 12 of “Star Academy”. An indecisive duel for these two great voices, even if their owners did not experience the same journey at the Château. Discovered in a report on TF1’s 1 p.m., the 24-year-old Northern Marine quickly became one of the favorites of the season. This graduate in dental surgery, who put her medical career on hold to realize her dream of becoming a singer, has multiplied the bravery pieces on the bonuses thanks to a tone that is as sensitive as it is powerful. His extra thing? An irresistible sense of humor which often served as a shield against his intimate complexes.
The youngest Charles, 18 years old, is undoubtedly one of the students who has progressed the most since the start of the adventure. Originally from a small town in Côtes-d’Armor, he seemed lost during his first weeks in Dammarie-les-Lys, before gaining confidence thanks to the advice of singing teacher Sofia Morgavi. The trigger? His masterful performance on “Le Temps des Cathédrales”, on the evening of the reopening of Notre-Dame. Since then, he has gained in mastery without losing any of his raw emotion which at times recalls the late Grégory Lemarchal.
This evening, Marine will perform “All By Myself” by Céline Dion and “Feel Good” in a duet with Charlotte Cardin while Charles will cover “SOS d’un Terrien en distress” and “C’est dit” by Calogero with Noah, his big brother. friend at the start of the show. The two finalists will sing Whitney Houston’s “The Greatest Love of All” together and will reunite with Santa for a medley of his hits. Finally, before competing next week for second place in the final, Ebony and Franck will also have the opportunity to shine alongside Camélia Jordana who will come and perform “Win Rak”, her brand new title, with them.
Minute by minute
STING IS HERE!
The legendary leader of The Police arrives on the set, welcomed by Nikos. With a big challenge for Marine and Charles since they will accompany him on “Message in a bottle”. Both do their best, but let’s face it: it’s the British singer’s voice, intact, that impresses the most!
A DUEL AROUND SANTA
To start the finale, Marine and Charles will engage in a duel with the help of Santa. The first sings her hit “Salted Popcorn” with her, each behind a piano. Intense. After a brief interlude, the second comes to accompany him on “You will make the difference”. In a classroom setting, they are surrounded by a children’s choir. Cute.
