Wednesday August 24, 2022, Marianne James granted an interview to the Parisian. Following his elimination from Mask Singer, on TF1, the artist made some confidences about a possible return of the New star, on M6.
Christophe Willem, Myriam Abel, Julien Doré… In recent years, the New starbroadcast on M6, launched the careers of many artists. While the show will celebrate its twentieth anniversary in March 2023, is a party planned for the occasion? Wednesday August 24, 2022, in the columns of ParisianMarianne James said: “We are talking about it. It would be stupid not to! But we must bring together all the judges: Maneuver, Manoukian, Attia, James, Sinclair, Lio… With my former comrades, we have already told M6 that we were ready to do it. And we have a lot of stories to tell.“The one who was a juror on the show between 2004 and 2007 added:”You have to remember that we had up to 7 million viewers! And twenty years later, we are still very close. It often happens that we meet during the holidays. And when I prepare something, I always make Manoukian listen to it.“
Saturday July 2, 2022, for the ParisianNicolas de Tavernost, the chairman of the management board of the M6 group, had mentioned the possible return of the New star. He then confided:There will certainly be evenings of this type based on excerpts and nostalgia. As for relaunching Nouvelle Star today, the answer is probably no. It would be more difficult. This would suppose the same decor, the Baltard pavilion which had played a lot in the show, and the same jury, difficult to assemble today…” Fan of the program, Marianne James had already confided in January 2016 for TV Magazine : “Personally, I would have continued one or two more years with M6 if and only if Akhenaton of the IAM group joined the members of the jury.“
The members of the jury, ready to return?
In December 2017, André Manoukian said at the microphone of Europe 1: “I loved this program too much and I would never have got out of it.” For Tele-LeisureLio said in September 2015: “I will be happy to come back. I love Elodie Frégé. But André Manoukian would rather die than sit next to me on the jury. I don’t understand. I still think this show is good.” If many of them want to come back, this is not the case for Sinclair. In July 2020, he had indeed dropped in the columns of Audience : “The level has fallen very low, I feel, and I don’t see myself in it anymore. I won’t do it just for the money anyway.“
