Saturday October 15, TF1 launched the new season of Star Academy with 13 candidates determined to shine in the coming weeks. Viewers expect international stars as in the heyday of the show. For the moment, only the godfather of this brand new promo, Robbie Williams is one. “They will be present. At the moment, it’s complicated to bring in international artists but we will have a lot of them”assured our colleagues of Pure Media, Mathieu Vergne (producer at DMLS TV). It remains to be seen which ones will make the trip to the set of the show…
Duos and a lot of embarrassment…
The Star Academy has hosted the biggest stars of the song. The latter have the misfortune or the chance to share a few minutes on stage with students but everything has not always gone as planned, between false notes and rather… particular choreographies. We remember Sevan and 50 cent for example on the title Ayo Technology during season 7. Embarrassing…

This same season, Rihanna had made the trip singing with Julie and again, the performance was disastrous unlike Beyoncé’s duets. This came several times to sing in particular with Sofia Essaïdi during the third season to interpret her title Crazy in Love. Then the following year to sing Survivor with Hoda with Destiny’s Child. Benefits that will not have cooled the star who will reappear one last time in 2006.

The performance of Alice and Enrique Iglesias in 2008 did not leave only good memories. Huge discomfort even on the title, Tired of Being Sorry. “What happened with Enrique? I still wonder too. In fact, his microphone broke down. And suddenly, he used my microphone to sing and we sang glued tight until the end of the song”, had declared the young woman during the emission Star Academy: We said we would meet again in 20 years.
Small bonus: the performance of Georges-Alain Jones, on the track Las Ketchup. In a trio with Emma Daumas and Nolwenn Leroy, the singer had completely missed his performance
