Like it or not, they are part of the family too star Academy. This Saturday, December 23, 2023, TF1 offered a bonus of Star Ac placed under the sign of nostalgia, and which marked the return of former iconic faces of the program, both on the teaching side and on the student side. Thus, Emma Daumas, Aurélie Konaté, Houcine Camara, Mario Barravecchia and Michal Kwiatkowski agreed to return to the set which revealed them to the general public, and Alexia Laroche-Joubert, Armande Altaï, Oscar Sisto, Christophe Pinna and Kamel Ouali were also back. On Instagram, TF1 wanted to pay tribute to all the promotions that the star Academy, relaying all the class photos. But a promotion was missing: that of NRJ12, which TF1 preferred to stifle.
A deliberate oversight that fans of the program did not appreciate, and many Internet users criticized TF1 for canceling this season on the grounds that they were not the broadcaster: “Frankly excluding the season on NRJ12 under the pretext that it was not on TF1 is scandalous. Endemol had sold the format, it remains the Star Academy brand whether we like it or not. They are part of the Star Academy family. Laurene, Zayra, Sidoine, Daniel and the others. Especially since it’s cheeky because to go and find Sidoine finalist of The Voice, you don’t forget her”, “Wesh class of 2012, you don’t respect anything“, “Easy to annihilate the season on NRJ12 but you were the first to seek out Sidoine for The Voice”…
“My childhood dream has been erased”
The winner of the promotion, Laurenewho has since changed his artist name and goes by the name Nito-Onnawanted to express his regret at seeing his victory forgotten by TF1: A bit of a shame not to see our season there, but only crazy memories all the same.” And continued, responding to an Internet user who told him that his season had been watched very little by viewers: “It’s just that I find it a shame that one of the most beautiful experiences of my life, and my childhood dream by the way, is a little erased, but in reality it’s not going to change my life” concluded the young woman, who is continuing her artistic career.
Three candidates have been spotted for “The Voice”
Sidoine, who reached the semi-finals of this season co-hosted by Tonya Kinzinger and Matthieu DelormeauAnd directed by the late Charlotte Valandreyalso wanted to express his frustration: “Never spit in the soup. It doesn’t matter by whom, it doesn’t matter how, it doesn’t matter when… The important thing is you, the public. Our job is not that of brands doing business. Our profession is to exist through you, to transmit emotions. None of that is quantifiable. And if you talk about it, it means that we still exist”. A nice message full of philosophy and without bitterness, written by the one whom the channel nevertheless sought to participate in season 8 of The Voice. He made it to the final, in Jenifer’s teamand lost to Whitney Martin.
Other candidates from this forgotten class also participated in The Voice : this is the case of Vanina, eliminated at the gates of the semi-final of the Star Ac from NRJ12, and who participated in season 10 of the tele-hook on TF1. She had seduced three coaches out of four in the blind auditions, and had chosen Florent Pagny, but had been eliminated in the battles. In season 9, too, Tony had tried his luck, but failed to attract the coaches. A few years earlier, the young man had participated in the W9 reality TV Las Vegas Academywhich had not met with the expected success.
