It’s been a real phenomenon for a month. Last Saturday, February 3, Pierre Garnier won the 11th season of the star Academy
and immediately published his first opus, already ready and known to all his fans, Those we were. In one month, the hit has already been listened to more than 24 million times on music platforms, and will soon be certified platinum. A record for a Star Academy candidate, who had not been seen since the victories of Nolwenn Leroy in 2002 and Grégory Lemarchal in 2004. This Monday, March 11, 2024, it is Guillaume Genton who will try to ride the phenomenon Pierre Garnier, by offering a new documentary called Phenomenal on CSTAR in the first part of the evening.
The chronicler of
Do not touch My TV
which should have animated PAF before Cyril Hanouna recruited Pascale de la Tour du Pin, managed to collect the testimonies of two people that Pierre Garnier knows very well, and who are dear to him: his grandmother and his first music teacher. If the first wanted to show the cameras the photo that she has always kept of her grandson and which turns out to be her most precious treasure, the second looked back on the years he spent doing his job alongside by Pierre Garnier… And the winner of the Star Acwas not always a studious student, quite the contrary.
“He was my student, and today I am his greatest”
Indeed, if he admits to being today “his first fan”, Sébastien Lepoitevinwho teaches at the music school of Villedieu-les-Poêlesreveals to have been his teacher from the age of reason: “When he was about seven-eight years old, he learned his first notes with me. And then I never would have imagined doing this interview for him, because at that time, I would never have imagined let him make the journey he did” applauds the professional. Enthusiastic, admiring, Sébastien says to himself today “amazed” by the journey of the young man who has just celebrated his 22nd birthday: “I’m one of his biggest fans. He was my student, and now, at the age of 50, I’m the one who (am) a fan of his.”
If Pierre Garnier’s talent was according to his teacher “innate”, all was not yet won. As Sébastien Lepoitevin reveals, Pierre Garnier was far from being a workaholicand you often had to be behind him to push him to his limits: “He was not a great worker, we will say. To be honest, and since everything seemed so easy to him, in fact, one week after the next, the exercises went by by themselves.” Sébastien Lepoitevin remembers the winner of the
star Academy
“a model student” And “always on time”… The rest of this testimony and Guillaume Genton’s doc is this Monday, March 11 on CSTAR.
