They both participate in the Star Academy 2024 final, this February 3, 2024, after the eliminations of Axel and Helena. And Pierre and Julien received an important warning from the godmother of the adventure, on the eve of this big day. While passing through the Château de Dammarie-les-Lys on February 2, 2024, Vitaa warned them about their outing: “It’s violent, at the same time you can’t take it anymore, you want to get out, and that’s normal, to get back to your lives, your families and everything. But you will see what the power of light is on you, of notoriety. In fact, to do this job. When you came back here you were strangers, you hadn’t yet realized that. You went out twice. Once in a concert, once in something. But you actually have to experience it to understand it…”
“If I can give you one piece of advice: cut yourself.”
Sharing her own story, Slimane’s best friend admitted: “I know that when my first album came out, I ate that thing. I’m a very wild person, I go out very little, very homely and everything. I had difficulty at the beginning , like it took me a while to adapt. Because as much as people are adorable, they give you a lot of love and everything. And then there are social networks you see. There is what the people say, there are haters. And I really, if I can give you some advice: cut yourself, if there are things that hurt you, don’t do that to yourself, don’t inflict harm on yourself. read all the comments and stuff”.
And added: “In truth, I’m telling you this, I didn’t even look. I am speaking to you from my experience. There are people who have the shoulders, I have friends who do this job and who don’t care. And there are more sensitive people. I’m sensitive, it really affected me. To the point where, in 2009, I remember, I said stop Twitter, I’m not looking. I don’t have it on my phone, my team manages it.”
His advice to avoid taking all the trash in the world in the face is: “Don’t go looking at everything. That’s not what makes you progress in this profession. The love of the people and the public is there, you are going to go on tour, you are going to enjoy it. If you feel like it’s not a good energy for you, don’t take it. Not everything is good about success, you have to set limits and barriers, know how to tell yourself what you can tolerate. Above all, surround yourself with your family, enjoy your friends, that’s the most important thing, enjoy everything you missed.”
“Tell you, I’m a little guy who makes music”
Because, she says to preserve the mental health of her foals: “It only takes one sentence, you go home, and you know, that day you weren’t well, a little fragile, you have to protect yourself. You’re going to go out, you’re going to be stars, you’re going to feel that TV thing, the starification of TV. But in truth, you say, I’m a little guy who makes music, I got into it because it was my passion. And I will try to move forward in this profession and leave this passion at the center of my life. The rest, well we’ll see, it’s cool.”
