Louis: from outsider to Star Academy finalist

LOUIS STAR ACADEMY. With the end of Star Academy 2022, it’s time to take stock for the students of the promotion.

[Mis à jour le 28 novembre 2022 à 15h32] Louis on the last step of the Star Academy 2022 podium. The budding artist will have failed at the last stage of the show’s final, giving way to his friend Enola and Anisha, big winner of the star Ac’ . However, Louis will probably have had the greatest progress of all the candidates of the season, on TF1. From his complicated and emotionally intense beginnings, Louis was able to make a place for himself, week after week, in the hearts of viewers and Star Ac’ teachers, as well as in those of his comrades at the castle.

So facing Anisha, Enola and Léa, can Louis and his new favorite status win the show? Last week, the student was the first selected Star Ac’ finalist, after evaluations praised by the faculty as a whole. Laure Balon, scenic expression teacher, praised his “honesty and born charisma”. “He’s the one who has made the most progress, added Yanis Marshall, dance teacher. He stands out, he’s a star.”

In the second half of the show, Louis indeed seemed to have risen to the rank of favorite of this Star Academy. Week after week, he received strong compliments from the teachers of the 2022 season, like his director, Michael Goldman, during the evaluations, mostly passed with flying colors by Louis: “I thought he could not do everything at the beginning of the adventure, and in the end, everything he does is good.”

Michael Goldman, known for having unearthed many talents, has he spotted the future artist to emerge from Star Academy? On social networks, many telecrochet fans seem to be convinced. “In fact the more we advance and the more I see Louis as the winner of this season, he has everything: talent, personality, charisma and authenticity”, underlined for example a surfer on Twitter.

What is Louis’ song?

For the last week of Star Academy, the four finalists were offered a tailor-made song by four artists. For Louis, it was Slimane who took on the task, making him a piece entitled Not even hurt. A song that the budding artist had to defend during the evaluations of the week, broadcast this Wednesday on TF1. What convince viewers to offer him the victory on Saturday?

Who is Louis, Star Academy candidate?

Originally from Lot-et-Garonne, from the small town of Boudy-de-Beauregard, Louis said he was a fan of Star Academy before this first bonus, in an interview with Sud-Ouest, even admitting to having discovered the song via the program Cult of the 2000s! “At the time, I was about 3 years old, and my nanny was watching the show at home. I started singing by memorizing the anthem for season 4, Let me dance of Dalida,” he recalls.

Sensitive, he visibly seduced the public in a performance that began in sobriety before asserting a high-pitched tone of voice. Without, however, completely letting go… His new theater teacher Pierre de Bréau was in any case won over by this performance, as was his singing teacher Adeline Toniutti who held back his emotion, not without noticing a few errors of accuracy and breathing.
