Star Academy: Maylis, the Namuroise Candidate, on the Chopping Block!
Maylis on the Star Academy Stage
From Namur, Maylis represents Belgium as the only contestant in the latest Star Academy season. Having joined on October 12, she immediately embraced this incredible opportunity, stating, “I want to learn and progress as much as possible.” However, she now faces elimination after being among the first nominees along with Thomas and Paul. Following a stunning rendition of “Happy” by Pharrell Williams, the pressure mounted on her to perform consistently.
Initial Performances Raise Concerns
- Maylis strived to assert herself during her debut evaluation but fell short of expectations.
- Teaming with Maureen for a duet of “Edge of Glory” by Lady Gaga, their performance did not resonate with the academy’s professors.
- Michael Goldman, the director, expressed hope for Maylis to shine independently in future performances.
As she prepares to deliver her rendition of “You Know I’m No Good” by Amy Winehouse this Saturday, regret lingers knowing that Belgian public votes won't support her in this elimination round. “That’s my only regret,” she confided.
New Season Dynamics
This season also introduces a fresh twist with singers performing contemporary hits instead of older songs. The show's anthem, “Recommence-moi” by Santa, marks a notable departure from tradition.
