Patrick Fiori breaks the rules of the game in order to give a touching surprise to a candidate, shortly before his elimination

This Saturday, November 2 marked the end of a trying week for the students of the “ Star Academy », that of “Linked Destiny”. They therefore had to defend their place in pairs, during the evaluations and until the nominations. But at the end of the bonus, only one of the four nominees had to leave the castle and say goodbye to his dream of winning in a few weeks. If their comrades had several opportunities to express their creativity during the evening, Marine and Ulysse, then Maïa and Thomas were only entitled to one performance to convince the public to save them.

Among the artists who came to share the stage with the academicians, we notably saw Hatik, Hoshi, and even Patrick Flowers. In addition to covering “Belle” from the musical “Notre-Dame de Paris” with Noah and Charles, the latter also joined all the students during their 80s painting on “Are you coming for the holidays?” » by David and Jonathan. To thank him for his generosity, Nikos Aliagas told him that Charles and Noah had decided to cover a cappella, a few notes of his song “Corsica” and asked him to accompany them for a few moments. Seizing the opportunity, the singer interrupted the host to make a special request.

“There’s a Corsican on the team, I think… I know we don’t really have the right, but with the boys’ agreement, Thomas, I would like you to come and join us, and with the teachers’ agreement, of course. on. » he said. Obviously very surprised by this suggestion, Thomas was moved, before joining his comrades, very happy for him too. After a suspended performance, Patrick Fiori wanted to re-explain his gesture: “I saw his eyes during rehearsals. (…) It was not possible to spend this moment without his voice because this song is a family story. » He also invited the three candidates to join him during his concert “Corsu Mezu Mezu”, at the Vélodrome stadium in Marseille in 2026. Deeply touched by this generosity, Thomas could not hold back his tears. Unfortunately for the young man named, this little help was not enough to save him and it was he who was finally eliminated by the public.
