For years, apprentice singers have been going through Star Academy to have additional bases in singing, dancing or even theater. And during their adventure, they have the opportunity to sing with artists during the awards. But during one season, the promotion annoyed one of its teachers, after she refused to sing with a personality.
It was in 2001 that the Star Academy was broadcast for the first time. During season 1, the castle of Dammarie-les-Lys notably opened its doors to Jean-Pascal Lacoste and Mario Barravecchia. Faced with the success of the program, the first channel renewed the show until season 8, in 2008. The program then left the air. But he made his return in 2012… on NRJ 12.
This version, presented by and , was called Star Academy Revolution. The director of this promotion was . And the production had chosen Enrique Iglesias, M. Pokora and Will.i.am as godfathers. The result was a contract with the AZ/Universal record company to record his album. Fourteen candidates were chosen to experience this adventure at the castle. Thus, the public got to know Zayra (finalist), Daniel (semi-finalist) and even Nancy. Among the teachers, there was Zaia Haddouche, responsible for managing the students’ image. And we can say that when she didn’t like something, she didn’t beat around the bush.
A whim of the Star Academy candidates greatly annoys a teacher
On the occasion of one of the bonuses, the students learned of the arrival of Jenifer, Serge Lama, the group Circus (formed by Calogero) as well as Tal. Except that some took the liberty of letting it be known that he did not wish to sing with the interpreter of Meaning of life. A situation which made Zaia Haddouche come off her hinges. “I am very angry with you all. I heard you said you didn’t want to play with certain artists. But who are you? I work with all artists, from the smallest to the largest. I’m super angry. Who do you think you are? You didn’t make it! You are learning, you are in a school! Do you choose the artists you want to play with? You are nothing yet! You learn... The artists I look after, it doesn’t matter if they sell millions of albums or what… You haven’t sold anything! Even for a communication, you sulk. I’m super angry. How can you criticize artists, you’re not even artists, learn and we’ll see!“, she got angry.
In the end, it was Nancy and Vanina who sang with Tal after this reframing.
