Star Academy: New instructors and controversies at Dammarie-les-Lys

The 14th season of Star Academy has seen significant developments at the Dammarie-les-Lys castle, including the introduction of new staff and unexpected moments during live broadcasts.

Philippine Lavrey has joined the production as a new vocal coach, succeeding Lucie Bernardoni. Lavrey, who was discovered through her work with Les Enfoirés, expressed pride in joining the program. Upon her arrival, the season's godfather, Vianney, presented her with a guitar as a gift.

Meanwhile, a moment involving student Maud has sparked discussion among viewers. During a live broadcast, instructor Fanny Delaigue asked Maud to stop humming the Patrick Bruel song ‘Alors regarde’. While the interaction surprised observers, the specific pedagogical reasons for the interruption have not been officially clarified.
