22 years already. This Friday January 12, 2024,
Jenifer
took to her social networks to celebrate an unforgettable date: the day she won the first season of the star Academy. It is indeed the January 12, 2002 that the now 41-year-old singer won against Mario Barravecchia. An event that she will probably never forget. Moved, the latter therefore posted an archive photo online in which we can see her, in tears and microphone in hand, alongside a much younger Nikos Aliagas.

“January 12, 2002! The only thing that doesn’t change is that I still cry so much“, she wrote in the caption. A publication which sparked strong reactions. “Still here since 2002, so many memories”, “So many memories… I’m sick, Harley Davidson, but also from adventure to adventure… There have been so many others since… Thank you for being there and for be you”, “So many magical memories but above all what a unique talent. Stay as you are”we can read in particular in the comments.

“I was scared”
At the time, Jenifer was only 19 years old. In an interview given to Purecharts, she remembered the incredible moment when her life changed completely. “I slept for 1h30 in this suite where I was so scared it was too big for me“, she confided. And continued by returning to a particularly unpleasant moment from her debut in the big leagues: “I was given a lot, a lot of promotion […] The next day alone, I was scheduled for 28 channel interviews and a photo shoot. I have horrible memories of this photo shoot. I didn’t recognize myself in the images, it was horrible. I won’t mention the name of the photographer but my God…”
