At the time, the latter left disappointed from her blind audition in “The Voice Kids”. No chair was turned over during her performance, but she was still entitled to encouragement from the Corsican singer.
Ten years later, she can smile: she will be in the semi-final of “Star Academy” this Saturday and, like Ebony, she is the favorite to win this season of TF1 telecrochet.
