If a certain weariness is felt among the Academicians, after six weeks, the teachers have decided not to let anything pass. The evaluations allowed them to set the record straight.

Put in evaluation after the last Variety, Marily and Olivier managed to escape the ax. Olivier defended himself particularly well by interpreting “Forget me” from Cœur de pirate. Once again, the teachers reproached him for his posture when he sings. “What you miss is the interlocutor, explained Lara Fabian. He must always be in front of you, even if he is not in the room.
The young Academician seemed completely destabilized when he left his evaluation. He admitted that he no longer knows or understands what teachers want. A little individual fine-tuning would certainly do him good.
Everyone at the Academy knows that Marily would need some rest to get back on her feet. In evaluation on “Croire en rien”, by Louis-Jean Cormier, we could feel his weariness and his need to recharge his batteries. The teachers decided not to put her in danger, but they asked her to take time for herself and to rest.
Take charge of your youth
For his third evaluation since the start of the season, Éloi chose to sing “At the gates of the morning”, by Richard Séguin, but Gregory Charles quickly understood that he did not fully understand the meaning of the lyrics. Éloi is only 16 years old, and the teachers suggested that he choose songs more in tune with his age and maturity.
“Nobody asks you to be older than your age, concluded the director. But you are asked to be as curious as your age.” He didn’t seem prepared for these comments. To defend his place, on Sunday, the song “I would like to be madelinot” imposed itself on him.
The two mothers
Despite a very good performance with “Mistral Gagnant” by Renaud, Audrey-Louise did not manage to impose her original touch. “You started from my version and you tried to put your universe in there, analyzed Lara. But you have to push your assertion much further.” Audrey-Louise expected to be in danger this week, she could sing “Love still exists” at Variety in an attempt to stay at the Academy.
Krystel scored a double this week, first evaluation and first endangerment. Her rendition of “And I Still Love You” was a hit with the teachers, even though Lara wasn’t completely satisfied. “You’re not breathing,” she told him. You just breathe through your nose, very short, very small, and you ask your body to pick up huge notes. It becomes a superhuman effort.”
It is in English that she will sing on Sunday, but she is still hesitating between two songs.
