LEA STAR ACADEMY. Léa, a candidate with a strong character from the Star Academy, is in the final of the show, after a bonus that made noise.
[Mis à jour le 21 novembre 2022 à 10h55] “Old filth”, “he disgusts me” … After the bonus on Saturday, an image remains: that of Marc Lavoine, seeming to place a kiss on the neck of Léa, a young candidate with whom he shared a duet on TF1. On social networks, the annoyance is palpable, dozens of Internet users protesting against the behavior of the 60-year-old singer.
“You judge Léa, but she was clearly not comfortable after Marc Lavoine’s kiss on her neck, he disgusts me”, launches a user on Twitter as noticed by the Huffpostwhen another adds: “Marc Lavoine kissing young Léa on the neck, who is already stressed that her whole performance is changing. Normal. Old filth.”
At the end of this bonus, Saturday November 19 on TF1, Léa was saved by the public, allowing her to join the Star Academy final. A new week that promises to be complicated for the young woman, who lost her friend Tiana, eliminated.
Lea’s behavior is annoying
For weeks, Léa’s behavior has unleashed passions, on social networks, as in the castle. During the last evaluations, the candidate resumed Bound to you, song by Christina Aguilera, before trying her hand at an artistic performance that sparked the giggles of her teachers. “I laugh because it was really really bad. I find it a shame,” said Yanis Marshall in particular. “It’s very little work,” added Michael Goldman, director of this promotion, highlighting the behavior of the student, who was conspicuous by his delays this week.
A behavior that will have earned Léa a summons to the director’s office. Explaining that Joe, the sports teacher, came to see him to tell him about the student’s noticeable absence that very morning, Michael Goldman did not fail to reframe it: “For us, it’s important that you take all the courses (…) you have no excuse. We have already talked about the question of humility, of this character a bit Beyoncé (…) we are fulfilled in the effort. Even if you’re tired and you don’t feel like it, you can have great times (…) don’t give up. Don’t start skipping class. You’re in the semi-finals, that’s huge. “
Léa divides Star Academy viewers
At the castle of Dammarie-les-Lys, some Star Academy students stood out from their first moments on TF1. But not necessarily for the right reasons. This is the case of Léa, 24 years old. During the first prime, it was with a cover of Beyoncé that she had decided to present herself to viewers of the cult tele-hook. Aged 24, the Parisian did not deflate, showing her groove and her voice on the song Listen. On the second prime, it’s alongsideAmiron the song Retina, that the young woman was able to prove that she deserved her place at the Star Academy.
Despite his behavior. Cropped first by Laure Balon, stage expression teacher at Star Academy 2022, then, at greater length still, by Yanis, the dance teacher, the young woman attracted the wrath of social networks after being mocked of Tiana during a singing lesson.
So when the time for the first evaluations arrives, Léa presents herself to the teaching staff in tears, the teachers offering to postpone her passage. The budding artist then made his mea culpa in the Star Academy confessional: “I did the worst things in not even two days, nobody knows me like that. There, I think I have friends, they won’t recognize me? Good the little I have, they only know me from one side, the girl who laughs and all. Even my parents when they go to see me, they will say ‘My daughter she is like that?’ They will discover me, like my parents, they don’t know me.” The start of a recovery?
Who is Léa, Star Academy candidate?
Optician in the 20th arrondissement of Paris, the young woman warned before the show in an interview with Parisian. “I have the hips of nature”. What I love are divas, like Aya Nakamura and Eva Queen”. A diva is also what her classmates called her, especially Enola, as she points out in the confessional. Indeed , since her entry into the castle of Dammarie-les-Lys, the young woman is regularly cropped by teachers, for her behavior in class, especially in dance, where she was reprimanded for a long time by Yanis Marshall, the teacher.
The music sounds obvious to the young woman who is dreaming out loud and already showing a certain composure, even when recalling her age and her few memories of Star Academy. “Making and living music has always been my dream. So I’m excited to take part in this competition… Even I’m too young to have known the BlackBerry, Facebook and Star Ac. I just watched the first seasons of The Voice : I know Jennifer but even Garou, I didn’t know who it was.”
Saturday October 15, 2022, Léa had already burst the screen and was one of the favorites of the jury chaired by Michael Goldman, director of this Star Ac’ 2022. A profile to follow, therefore, like Anisha or Enola, also noticed…
