React StarAc reported that the theme of the evaluations was to showcase oneself. The students had to explain why they wanted to defend a song and could accompany themselves with an instrument. A list of 20 songs had been imposed on them at the boarding house. They were invited to learn the lyrics by heart, even though they could bring them along, and to reinterpret or recompose the pieces to show their personality. For the prime, the author indicated that a self-portrait was planned. For the "sung and danced" test, registrations were closed and all the students were on the initial list of volunteers; the best grade would allow them to go on tour. The winner of the Top 3 would be immune. #StarAcademy #StarAcademyLeLive #Musique #Chanson #Évaluation (translated)
