Star Academy: Marine is this season's winner

Want to become the next star of French chanson? Last season was a huge hit, thanks to the good-natured students and the good atmosphere at the château, followed by the victory of Pierre, who, like many of his friends, has been a great success ever since. This new edition of the cult TV talent show, a little less popular with viewers, has been marred by harassment towards certain candidates, and even racism.

After the elimination of their tourmates, the final took place this Saturday, January 25, 2025, and was 100% female, unlike last year. Marine and Ebony left the Château de Dammarie-lès-Lys and began their new lives in music, under the spotlight.

And in the end, it was Marine, from Northern France, who won this 12th edition, after a fine prime alongside French artists such as Clara Luciani, this year's adventure godmother, Amel Bent and Sofia Essaidi. Thanks to satisfactory ratings, another season will be launched, and the apprentice singers will soon be able to take part in castings all over the country to try their luck and make their dreams come true!
