Jenifer, the return
An alumni bonus couldn’t be done without Jenifer! The iconic first winner of the Star Academy shared the stage of studio 217 with Julie. Together, they performed “Gemme le temps”, one of the 42-year-old singer’s first hits. A little nod to Grégory Lemarchal… with whom Jenifer shared a moment on the same title during the fourth season.
Earlier this week, Jenifer went to the castle for a surprise visit to the students. It’s been 20 years since the winner of season 1 last set foot in Dammarie-les-Lys.
A painting signed… Kamel Ouali
Kamel Ouali, choreographer and historical teacher of the Star Academy, was also back this week. This Saturday evening, he offered viewers a song and dance performance worthy of the heyday of the TF1 program. For this one, the former dance teacher chose Ebony, for whom he fell in love during Tuesday’s evaluations.
Ebony, Charles or Franck: who has been immunized… and becomes the first academician of the 2025 tour?
Ebony, Charles and Franck, the three best students of the week, competed on the title “I am sick” by Serge Lama during the traditional battle of the top 3.
This is the interpretation ofEbony who won the vote of his teachers and former teachers. A major victory for the academic… who becomes the first student to participate in the 2025 tour! Before the battle, Nikos Aliagas announced that next week’s bonus would be devoted to the tour of this 2024 class. Immune, Ebony is therefore certain to tour the stages of France, Belgium and Switzerland in 2025.
Medley: Once upon a time there was Star Academy… with Emma!
Moment of nostalgia: during the evening, a medley paid tribute to the first four seasons. Something to remember Jenifer on a Harley-Davidson, the bamba from season 3 or even the cult title by Grégory Lemarchal “Write history”.
And the surprises continue during the evening… Alexia Laroche-Joubert, emblematic director of the Star Academy, and Emma, candidate eliminated last week, invited themselves to the medley!
“And if you feel”: a new song by Grégory Lemarchal
Highlight of the evening, the class of 2024 performed a new piece by Grégory Lemarchal. The singer wrote “Et si tu sens” on March 15, 2007, just six weeks before dying. The title was specially arranged for the academicians by Mosimann, winner of season 7.
Surprise for Lucie: Charles and Marguerite rework one of her paintings with Grégory
The surprise was well kept! In the greatest secrecy, Kamel Ouali decided to pay homage to an iconic painting from season 4, which had been performed by Lucie and Grégory. Charles and Marguerite slipped into the shoes of the two finalists of the 2004 class for the occasion. Enough to make Lucie relive a highlight of her adventure. The tutor was very moved by this lovely gift.
Maïa, Masseo or Ulysses: who was eliminated?
It was the dreaded moment of the evening. Who from Maïa, Masseo or Ulysses is eliminated? As usual, Nikos Aliagas first announced the name of the candidate saved by the public. This week is aboutUlysses. The academicians then had to decide between Maïa and Masseo. It is finally Masseo who was eliminateda week after his adventurous friend Emma.
A little earlier in the evening, the three nominees had performed together “Quelques mots d’amour” with fellow adventurers that they had chosen themselves. Ulysse had decided to share this moment with Maureen, Masseo with Julie and Maïa with Marguerite.
