In a few weeks the star Academy will resume its place on TF1, twenty-two years after its launch and fourteen years after its shutdown. It’s next fall, right after The Voice Kids, that a new season of the musical competition will be broadcast. On the program: new, new and more new. Indeed, there is no question for the first channel not to renew the program, starting with its jury. Exit Kamel Ouali, Armande Altaï or Oscar Sisto and make way for new personalities. For example, it has been rumored for a while that Denitsa Ikonomova will be the show’s new choreographer. But for now, The Parisian just announced the name of new director of the castle of Dammarie-les-Lys (Seine-et-Marne).
According to information from our colleagues published on Tuesday August 30, it is Michael Goldman who was chosen to take up this challenge. This is the co-founder of the label MyMajorCompany, which produces among others the artists Grégoire and Joyce Jonathan. But above all, he is the son of Jean-Jacques Goldman (born of his union with his first wife Catherine Morlet). A significant name for the TF1 showcase. The contract, however, has reportedly not yet been signed with the entrepreneur and music producer even though it appears as “An evidence“, as revealed by a source familiar with the matter. “He’s 43 years old, he knows the music world like the back of his hand, he’s excited about the project, he looks good… And then the name Goldman, that’s bound to help, let’s face it!“, she said. Neither TF1 nor Michael Goldman confirmed the news.
Before the choice falls on the latter, the production company of the star Academy looked into other potential artists for the job, including Saïd Boussif, the founder of Indifférence Prod and very fashionable manager in charge of successful personalities such as Vitaa, Slimane, Amel Bent and Gims.
One thing is in any case certain, it is that Nikos Aliagas will take over the controls of the show. What’s more, a world star was wanted to sponsor the season, in the same way as French artists. The singer Jennifer for example, naturally found herself at the heart of the discussions, she who won the very first season in 2002. Should we count on her participation? “It’s still a little early to talk about it, but I think there will obviously be a reunion with the show“, she replied, mysteriously.
It remains now to find the godfather or the godmother… it is an international artist who is wanted!!!
