Is Helena at a disadvantage to the star Academy ? The young woman, interviewed by South Info a few hours before the prime sealing her fate for the semi-final, said, regretting that the Belgian public could not support her. Indeed, nominated this week opposite Lénie, Axel and Julien, Helena Bailly cannot count on the support of her family based in Belgium, or on the viewers of the star Academy who live in Belgium, because only votes from French viewers are possible. A particularity that she lacks, as she informed our colleagues: “It’s a huge disadvantage. It’s unfair that Belgians can’t vote because it’s support that my family can’t give me”.
Fortunately, Helena can count on the support of the French public, and was surprised to see that they had saved her last week, when she found herself on the losing end against Djebril until the last second: “At first, I thought that only Belgium would support me. And then, I understood that the French like me too. I had proof of this last week, when I was saved by the public. I was very touched”. The young Academician confides in passing that she has no idea what viewers might think of her, just like what they might think of her comrades. : “At first, we relied on the cries of the public. We quickly realized that it represented nothing.”
She didn’t have confidence in herself
Helena also spoke about her relationship with the song, and the modesty she has always imposed on herself. Until Star Academy, the young woman had never revealed to those close to her that she knew how to sing: “When I applied for the star Academy, I didn’t think I was going to be selected. I just wanted to get an outside opinion on my voice. I have never sung in front of an audience, singing has always been something very intimate. For me, it’s hard to believe that my place is legitimate. And then, people never really gave me confidence by telling me that I had a beautiful voice, for example. Michael Goldman recently told me my place at the castle was legitimate. I need to hear it and I believe it more and more” declared the young woman, who could qualify for the semi-final this evening with Pierre, her adventure alter ego, already immune.
