Monday March 25, 2024, the TFX channel was supposed to offer a fifteen-minute daily dedicated to the tour of the Star Academy Tour 2024. But at the last moment, production had to backtrack, and this daily, which should also have been offered on TF1+, was finally thrown in the trash. If the broadcaster and the producer did not wish to elaborate on the rumors which pushed them to backpedal, the journalist Clément Garin affirmed that the seven students of the tour would have opposed this format, due to lack of remuneration and late information : “The students on the tour were only officially notified by TF1 and Endemol 24 hours before the start of filming, scheduled for last Thursday (as soon as their tour bus left for Amiens). Filming was canceled the evening before following to a student rebellion, carried by the voice of Axelwho played the role of class delegate to production” we can thus read.
Although this information has not been confirmed by production, the students have nevertheless taken their freedom and done as they wish. Indeed, since the start of the tour, Candice Vernier films her comrades, and their life during rehearsals and in the hotel. She offers vlogs on her YouTube channel, and allows fans of the
star Academy
, who were eager to return to this daily life, to not be harmed by the choice they made. This initiative is turning out to be a real hit! The first video already peaks at 430,000 views in four daysand the second is already 250,000 views in twenty-four hours. A real triumph!
The show could be broadcast as a bonus on TF1
In these vlogs, Lucie Bernardoni also has a tailor-made role since the young woman accompanies the seven students throughout the tour, and makes them rehearse their performances daily. Dressed all in white, Axel, Pierre, Héléna, Lénie, Djebril, Candice and Julien have been touring France for a week. After starting their tour in Amiens, they performed this Saturday March 16, 2024 on the Nice stage… before hitting the road again for new dates planned in the coming days throughout France, and even in Belgium and Switzerland. A recording by TF1 of the concert could be considered in order to allow fans of the program to find the show as a bonus on the channel in the coming weeks. Guaranteed audience success?
