Since October 15, viewers have been able to follow the adventures of new students from the star Academy. They are 13 to have invested the castle of Dammarie-les-Lys three weeks ago after being presented to the public during the first prime on TF1. But for the singing teacher Adeline Toniuttithey were not all foreigners.
Indeed, the beautiful redhead already knew two candidates well, who participated in her singing lessons before the show. First there is Léa, as Adeline Toniutti had recognized live. “I know her. She was on the benches of my school and I am very surprised to find her here today. One day, I remember, I told you to hang on and that you would go to the stars and there you are with all the other stars tonight“, she had declared. However, she had not made a comment concerning Anisha whom she has also already rubbed shoulders with during a master class. Links that had made internet users say that the two young singers had been boosted to join the adventure star Academy.
Faced with these allegations, Adeline Toniutti reacted during an interview for Gala published this Wednesday, November 9, denying any favoritism. “Léa was one of my students at Calyp (Centre d’Art Lyrique de Paris, editor’s note). (…) As for Anisha, we regularly do master classes with big names in the business, she took part in one of them. (…) With my staff, we spotted his talent and brought him to the master class. That’s where I met her. As for the cast of Star Academy, Léa received the casting notice from us, since she was a student at Calyp, but she spent six months casting. There is no piston possible. Even if I wanted to boost I could not, there are too many people who decide“, she assured.
This idea of benefiting a person even enrages the professor of dramatic personal history. And for good reason, she herself paid the price in the past. “I would allow myself no favoritism because I suffered too much from people who were boosted in the profession when I was doing opera, because I found that some people didn’t have the level and ended up there. It was good for them, but it was difficult for me who came from the countryside and didn’t know anyone. I wouldn’t allow myself to do that with the students.“.
