His choice surprised more than one, and he quickly regretted it… At the end of the quarter-finals which got the better of the youngest member of the promotion Lénie, eliminated without ever having been named once, Pierre, who was already immune, had a major mission. In fact, production has concocted a heavy poisoned gift for him, that of choosing the candidate he wishes to face in the semi-final. After long minutes of hesitation, the 20-year-old young man wrote the latter’s name in an envelope, which was immediately given to Nikos Aliagas. To everyone’s surprise, while all the fans of the Star Ac imagined that he was not going to choose to face Héléna, his adventure buddy, This is ultimately what the young man wrote on the envelope..
A surprising decision, which the three Academicians themselves did not understand, and which the spectators received with annoyance and frustration. Pierre was booed for several seconds by the public, and was destabilized. He tried to justify his choice, indicating that he had first thought about the show that he would be able to offer with his friend, without remembering that he would not be able to face her in the final, and that he was going to sacrifice one of them: “I thought for minutes, I hesitated a lot between you two guys (Julien and Héléna, editor’s note), and I said to myself: Who would I like to spend the last moment with on stage, and do duets , and finally make music. And I said to myself that with Héléna, we could have a very good semi-final and that if we never end up in the final, for me, it will be the last moment… I’m sorry. Honestly, I’m sorry“ apologized the favorite of the competition.
“Come on, let’s make some music, let’s make a nice bonus!”
Héléna tried to come to the rescue of her partner and now rival, but the boos from the audience were still just as noticeable : “Frankly, any choice would have been difficult to make, and seen in that way, Pierre and I have had the opportunity to be together several times, but we also know that our voices match really well together, and If we can have a great semi-final together, I’m happy.”. Nikos also wanted to come to the defense of the booed Academician, explaining that he had first thought about the artistic show they were going to offer, before thinking about strategy: “Exactly, I didn’t think about it at all, I said to myself: Go ahead, let’s make some music, let’s make a nice bonus, I’m really sorry” Pierre justified himself.
Pierre perplexed, the boos turned him off
This Sunday, January 14, 2024, upon waking up in Dammarie-les-Lys, Pierre still seemed somewhat destabilized by the boos from the public, and by this difficult choice that the production forced him to make. Looking haggard on the sofa, his face dull, the young man can count on the support of Internet users, furious that the production imposed this mechanism on him, instead of leaving it to chance as in recent seasons. In season 7, for example, it was Céline Dion who put on the show by drawing lots from the semi-finalists’ balls, to choose the two duos who would face each other. It won’t be this season… We can bet that the mechanics will be modified next season. In the meantime, Axel and Julien will compete for their place in the final on January 20, and will be followed by Héléna and Pierre on January 27. The final, which will pit the two winners of the semi-finals against each other, will be held on February 3, 2024..
