After receiving (among others) Kendji Girac, David Hallyday, Michèle Laroque and Slimane, the students of the Star Academy 2023 had the chance to meet Lara Fabian at the Château de Dammarie-les-Lys yesterday, Wednesday January 24. The Belgian-Canadian singer – who will sing a duet with Héléna during the semi-final broadcast on Saturday as a bonus – shared a moment with each remaining candidate and offered them valuable advice for their future performances.
But it was a sequence with Pierre that particularly moved Internet users. Faced with the young 21-year-old Norman, Lara Fabian did not hesitate to shake him up and confront him with his emotions. Inviting him to sing while lying down, she said to him in particular: “ I don’t really care if you sing in tune. You will stop thinking. What you have to do, what’s at stake. Because you’re putting pressure on yourself, my friend (…) You’re not even aware that you’re putting pressure on yourself. You don’t even realize. You think everything is cool but actually your body is going ‘no no no’. So I perceive it in your voice, in your intention ».

Invited to connect with himself, Pierre then sang part of You didn’t give me time, a hit that he will perform on the next prime with David Hallyday. Then against all expectations, after getting up, the Academician could not contain his tears in the rehearsal room. A touching first moment that didn’t stop there. Lara Fabian then took him in her arms, for a hug full of modesty but moving. To the point that Héléna, too, started to cry.

Shared on the official Star Academy social networks, the sequence of Pierre who “ breaks his shell » did not fail to make Internet users react. “ The strongest moment of the season », « big moment of the season », « a very strong live moment that no one will forget »… we can read in particular on X (formerly Twitter). It remains to be seen whether this moment with Lara Fabian will allow Pierre to deliver performances full of emotion during his semi-final against Héléna. A highly anticipated bonus between two key candidates of the season, the result of which is more undecided than ever, Karima Charni having announced “very close” votes.
