Louis in tears, he says he finds himself “extremely ugly”

The debriefs following the premiums of star Academy are very often moments full of emotions, or giving rise to disagreements with the teachers. Sunday November 13, just after the evening during which Julien and Stanislas were eliminated at the gates of the semi-final, Louis took the time to chat with Laure Balon, the scenic expression teacher. Together, they returned to the services of the academician, the day before. The 20-year-old sang with Kendji, as well as with Zazie for a cover of his hit I am a man. Also, Louis went on stage to perform Celine Dion’s cult title It’s All Coming Back to Me Now. So many appearances that allowed him to finish first in the student ranking of the week with an average of only 15.8.

Not enough for Louis? “I said to myself: ‘You’re horrible’. JI cried all the tears in my body. I was really bad, I thought about that, I said to myself, it’s the dream of my life, this bonus. It was just songs that I loved where I was really going to be able to sing and do everything, and suddenly, I put myself under enormous pressure“ he confided to Laure Balon, before clarifying his point. The academician confessed that he wanted to celebrate at all costs the memory of Grégory Lemarchal that evening, a few days after the parents of the former winner came to visit him and his comrades at the castle of Dammarie-lès-Lys. “I know that Grégory was a fan of Celine Dion, and when I sang I said to myself: ‘F*ck I have to sing for him too’, and I was really into my thing. That’s when I I was no longer on my feet at all because I was terrified of the note… I then said to myself ‘You have to, you don’t have the right, you don’t have the right'” he confided.

Louis very critical of his physique

Louis struggles to gain self-confidence, which viewers will no doubt have noticed by listening to his comments about his physique. Indeed, Louis was not kind to himself during this debrief. “I thought I was horribly ugly” he also said in a second time, visibly still affected by this last bonus.

But the academician will have to quickly regain the upper hand because the next evaluations will allow teachers to nominate five of the six students still in competition. The sixth who will have been able to seduce will however be directly propelled into the final. A chance that may allow him to share the stage not with Celine Dion, but with the godfather of this season 10 of star Academy Robbie Williams, Season 2 winner Nolwenn Leroy, Michel Polnareff, Soprano and Lara Fabian. Until then, Louis will have to stay focused!
