Michael Jones does not want to become a tutor or juror again
Guest a few weeks ago on Jordan de Luxe on C8, Michael Jones returned with great frankness on his participation in the star Academy. For three seasons, the singer was able to accompany Grégory Lemarchal, Magalie Vaé and Cyril Cinélu until victoryand seems to have good memories of this television experience which was completely new to him, and which he had hesitated for a long time to accept: “It was very enriching, then I learned how to do TV. I wasn’t very good at the beginning, because I went there saying: I’m going to bring a little bit of my knowledge , maybe help them a little. I just forgot it was a TV show“ remembers the professional.
Asked about the possibility of one day returning to star AcademyMichael Jones did not rule out the possibility of returning to sing with the Academiciansbut does not want to become a tutor or juror again during bonuses : “We can’t do everything we want and there’s no time especially. I would have liked to have had more time to make them work on the song, but the schedule was such that it was all the time the race. It’s a kind of potato masher (…) Going back there to come back like an old man, why not. That can be fun, but I’ve done other projects since then that I like much more”. It’s done, since after Armande Altaï, Oscar Sisto, Kamel Ouali and Christophe Pinna last week, it’s the turn of another emblematic face of the beautiful seasons of Star Ac of make its big comeback… And we can’t wait !
