At the time of Loft Story or the first edition of Secret Story, the candidates were still unaware of all the ins and outs of reality TV. Today, each participant knows very well how to create a buzz, where the cameras are positioned to appear on all the sequences and be highlighted, or even come out with the “little phrase” that will allow them to break through.
But in the star Academy, it is the singing talents that the majority of viewers remember. An element that some candidates in the current season hosted by Nikos Aliagas seem to forget. Indeed, Louis Albicandidate for the 2022 edition, spoke at length to our colleagues at Purecharts
this Monday, December 4. After having mentioned his own adventure in the program of TF1he gave his opinion on Axel, Lénie, and even Djébril, whom he does not hesitate to follow in the daily newspapers when he can.

Louis Albi asks “Star Academy” students to forget the cameras
“First, really emphasize that you are already artists”he first tells our colleagues when they ask him what advice he would give to current candidates. Louis Albi remind students that they are presented as such, but they know “already sing and what they want”. “You already have strong musical tastes. You must keep deep within you this flame which animates you and makes you the artist that you are”continues Léa Haddad’s friend.
Subsequently, the artist who released his first album Cry of joy advises them to “don’t get lost in this environment and want to please at all costs”. “Since we reach a large audience, some people think that we absolutely have to please THAT audience. Maybe it wasn’t your audience. Be sincere with yourselves! And specifically about this season, I wants them to be as honest with the public as possible. They know where the cameras are positioned, they know how the courses go, the bonuses… They know everything, at least they think they know.”he adds. Louis Albi admits to having “fear that some will try to control everything and that it will lose its naturalness”. Searching for the little phrase that creates buzz on Twitter or TikTok must be eliminated from the minds of candidates. It remains to be seen whether this advice will be followed or not.
