Star Academy: Enormous Disappointment for Namuroise Maylis as She Gets Eliminated
Star Academy Sees First Elimination
Originating from Namur, Maylis was the only Belgian contestant in the new season of Star Academy. Since October 12, the 23-year-old singer joined the prestigious academy in Dammarie-les-Lys. She expressed her excitement by saying, "When I was offered this opportunity, I immediately accepted. I couldn't refuse such a wonderful chance. My goal is to learn and progress as much as possible. I want to step out of my comfort zone and feel more at ease on stage."
Maylis's Short-Lived Journey
Unfortunately, her adventure was short-lived. After just one week, the young artist faced elimination while defending her place with a rendition of Amy Winehouse's You Know I'm No Good. However, the performance did not convince the audience sufficiently. Against competitors Mailys and Paul, viewers favored Thomas, while Paul was saved by his peers, gathering seven votes from fellow academy members, leaving Mailys with only three.
A Significant Setback
This elimination marks a significant setback for the Belgian candidate, who surely hoped to reach the level of last year’s semi-finalist, Héléna. Belgium loses its only representative in this season's competition.
