Patrick Fiori came on set to perform the song “Belle” in a duet with Noah and Charles.
TELEVISION – “Dry your tears, big guy”. During the prime this Saturday, November 2, the students of the “Star Academy” once again experienced a great moment of emotion. After a week spent under the sign of “linked destinies”the academicians had to defend their places at the castle with duo performances. Two duos of them found themselves named on Saturday evening: Marine and Ulysse, as well as Maïa and Thomas.
Marine and Ulysses sought to maintain their place in the adventure by interpreting Everything I Do by Bryan Adams. For their part, Maya and Thomas tried to convince the public that they deserved to stay, with My funny life by Véronique Sanson.
After these performances, the public chose to save the pair Marine and Ulysses, leaving the academicians facing a heartbreaking choice between Maïa and Thomas. The vote was done in tears and it was ultimately Maïa who was saved by her comrades. Thomas is therefore the third candidate to leave the adventure, after Maylis and Paul in previous weeks.
However, the 21-year-old young man, originally from Corsica and Sardinia, is not leaving empty-handed. “It’s true that he knows he will do things. Patrick Fiori invited him in two years to Marseille, on the stage of the Stade Velodrome »said Nikos when announcing his elimination. Patrick Fiori actually broke the rules of the show to reserve a surprise for the academics, announced during the prime.
“I know we’re not allowed to do that.”
The Corsican singer, coach on “ The Voice Kids »came on set to perform a duet with Noah and Charles the title “Belle”, the iconic song from the musical “Notre-Dame de Paris”, who helped make him known at the end of the 90s. The trio, which you can hear below, lacked harmony at times.
Fortunately, Noah and Charles had something to make up for, with a surprise prepared for Patrick Fiori, to thank him for coming. “Noah and Charles just wanted to thank you, they worked on your song “Corsica””announced Nikos to Patrick Fiori, “Will you do us the honor of singing it with them?” “.
Pleasantly surprised, the artist immediately agreed, but as he began to sing, he declared: “But I think there is a Corsican on the team? I know we don’t really have the right to do that… But with the agreement of the boys and the teachers, I would like Thomas to come and join us? “.
Very touched, the young man went on stage with tears in his eyes to sing the first notes, in Corsican, alongside Patrick Fiori. Then the quartet performed this powerful title, in homage to Corsica.
After the song, Patrick Fiori explained “I saw his eyes during rehearsals in the dressing room, and it was not possible to spend this little moment without his voice, because this song is a family story”. Turning to Thomas, very moved, he added: “I know family is important to you. This is your musical family here, but your blood family is on the other side. Dry your tears, big guy”
The artist then invited the three academics to come on stage with him during his “Corsu Mezu Mezu” concert, on May 23, 2026, in Marseille. At these words, the three stunned candidates spontaneously hugged each other and jumped for joy, under the tender gaze of the singer.
