It was a duo before being a duel. Throughout the evening, Julien Liebermann and Axel Marbeuf fought a merciless battleand offered a very nice show to viewers of the star Academy. The first semi-final broadcast this Saturday January 20, 2024 was crowned with very beautiful moments. This bonus was notably marked by the great return of Olivia Ruiz, twenty-two years after her participation in season 1 of the star Academy, alongside Jenifer, Jean-Pascal Lacoste and Mario Barravecchia. The singer shared a medley of her successes with the four candidates. But the show was especially marked by a sparkling duo on The Show Must Go On by Queen, and the painting of Héléna on Stolen by Celine Dion, in tribute to his grandmotherdied a few days ago.
At the end of this bonus, in which the Swedish star Zara Larsson, the new voice of French song Zaho de Sagazan, and the illustrious and emblematic Marc Lavoine also participated, the sentence was given: it was Julien who managed to win, and who becomes the first finalist of the eleventh season of Star Academy. It now remains to know the second finalist, who will be known at the end of the second semi-final scheduled for January 27.
