It divides fans of the star Academy. Supported by an impeccable community who saved her these last three weeks, Candice is also very criticized by those who consider it less legitimate than Margot and Clara, who left before her. On the prime of the tour this Friday, December 15, 2023, the young woman, although saved once again by her fans, is not unanimous, delivering a chaotic performance on Give me time by Jenifer. Ill, victim of a sore throat which caused him a fever the days preceding the prime, the young woman had great difficulty singing, but also forgot her lines.
To hide this omission of words, Candice tried everything by handing the microphone to the spectators present, to make them sing in her place. If this made it possible to mask the hiccup, it did not go unnoticed by the teachers. This Sunday, December 17, 2023, Cécile Chaduteau, the stage expression teacher, was exceptionally accompanied by Michael Goldman. And suffice to say that the director did not spare her, and went straight to it, reminding her that at this level of the competition, such errors could not be accepted: “I tell you honestly, I’m frustrated. I understand all the circumstances, you were sick, the stress, in the middle of the public… I would still have liked you not to mess up on the text”explained the son of Jean-Jacques Goldman.
“When you have people who pay, you have to!”
Cécile Chaduteau acquiesced, and validated the director’s criticisms, which she reinforced by reminding Candice that the stars, whether they were ill or not, could not afford to miss their performances in front of their fans: “We understand the frustration. When you are sick, it’s very complicated. (But) sick, not sick, when we have people who have paid for tickets, we have to be able to send sound, we have to be able to remember the words“ explained the one who a few years ago was a dancer for Kamel Ouali on the bonuses of the star Academy and on the musical Cleopatraworn by Sofia Essaïdi in 2007.
