This Saturday evening, viewers had an appointment on TF1 for a new bonus from the star Academy. Last week, they had the opportunity to discover the launch of this new event season, 21 years after the very first won by Jenifer. The 13 new students were then presented to the general public by singing on stage one by one, just before integrating the now famous castle of Dammarie-les-Lys. They then had a week to prepare for this second live evening and three of them found themselves nominated, namely Julien, Ahcène and Amisse.
It was therefore with added stress that the latter appeared on the stage on Saturday evening, but were determined to make this evening unforgettable. And she had something to be thanks to the distinguished guests present. Indeed, TF1 has put the dishes in the big by welcoming on the set the confirmed artists Amir, Juliette Armanet, Julien Clerc, Naps, Adé and international singer Lewis Capaldi.
A trio of students was also formed and consisted of Lea, Anisha and Enola. Three powerful voices in candidates who are very different from each other. To awaken the divas in them, they were offered to sing together on the title I’ll never love again by Lady Gaga. The performance was successful and the young women finished it very satisfied with themselves, going so far as to feel like superstars. “I felt like Celine Dion“said Enola afterwards. Léa imagined herself to be Beyoncé and Anisha, Lara Fabian. Comparisons that made Nikos Aliagas smile but, on the other hand, the director Michael Goldman wanted to bring them back down to earth, in a fairly cash way. “My nature at this stage would be to say bravo to them because the painting was magnificent and the performance was very good, but the truth is that, all the same, we are not yet at the level of Celine Dion, Lara Fabian and Beyoncé“, he blurted out. “Back to reality“, then commented the host. Michaël Goldman nevertheless seemed confident for the future: “Well, school is for that so I hope they will have that level in a month“.
On Twitter, Internet users have in any case applauded his intervention. “Thank you Mr Director!“, “And biiim“, “Thanks Michael Goldman to lower them a bit. It was the world of care bears until then““He always has a relevant opinion“, “Michael Goldman did well to put some humility back into it all“, “It does not take tweezers!“, can we read.
