The grand finale of Star Academy, a cult show returning after more than 10 absences on TF1, delivers its verdict this Saturday November 26th. An evening event, with Nikos Aliagas still on the mic.
In the end, it went really fast. Between Star Ac”s much-hyped return in mid-October and its final live broadcast this Saturday night on TF1, fans of the hit show, which made headlines in the 2000s, probably haven’t seen time pass.
Not even the candidates, especially the four finalists for whom the next few hours will obviously be stressful. The key to one of them, 100,000 euros, the recording of an album and a perhaps ephemeral celebrity, which will have to be navigated.

Before the start of this great event, let’s take stock of this evening.
The candidates: Anisha, Enola, Léa and Louis
Three girls and a boy. For this tenth year of Star Ac’, viewers let their hearts speak and no matter the parity. Accordingly, these are Anisha, Enola, Léa and Louis who will compete for the final victory. As noted by our colleagues from The shipmentdthey of the four finalists are from the south-west: Louis from Lot-et-Garonne and Enola from Gironde.
As for the final vote, the decision will rest exclusively with that of the public.
Guests: Robbie William, Nolwenn Leroy…
Unlike the editions of the 2000s, this year the Star Academy did not attract major international artists. The only one who made the trip, and that’s good since he’ll be the special guest of this final, is Robbie Williams. Sponsor of this edition, he had so far been satisfied with a simple video message of support to the candidates during the first bonus of the show.
This time it will therefore be a live performance, just like Nolwenn Leroy or Soprano will do throughout the evening. In detail, the winner of the Star Ac’ 2002 will duet with Enola in her hit “Cassée” and the rapper from Marseille will compose with Anisha in “Roule”. As for Léa, she will keep the note to Lara Fabian on “I love you” and Louis will accompany Christophe Maé to sing “Casting”.
For the finale, the four finalists will sing “Letter to France” together with Michel Polnareff.
The course of the final
Concretely, during this evening, the four finalists will each sing alongside an artist then during a four-way battle, TF1 specifies. At the end of this first part and of the duets, only two candidates chosen by the public will remain in the running for the rest.
The two finalists will perform solo and then as a duo for a final joint performance. At the micron the indispensable Nikos Aliagas, already present during the very first broadcast on October 20, 2001.
On Qatar time
Bad news for early risers, it is not 21:10, the usual time of the programme, that this final will start. No, the World Cup in Qatar obliges, this Star Academy 2022 will see its last bonus start at 10pm, due to the live broadcast of the match between Argentina and Mexico.
Consequently, we should know the identity of the big winner around 00:15, 00:30. Here, there, in the game of predictions, it is Anisha who seems to hold the string. She had particularly impressed audiences from the very first issue, with her very moving interpretation of Serge Lama’s I am sick.
