He was accompanied by Michael Goldman, the director of Star Academy who made revelations about the casting.
“They look a bit like those of last year in terms of sociological profiles and age. They are young people passionate about music. I would perhaps say the difference with last year, it’s a real bet the part of the production. I know that we have been criticized for having only very good singers…” did he declare.
