Star Academy, a popular French music talent show, is preparing for its 14th season, which will begin on Saturday, October 10, at 21:10. The show will take place at the château de Dammarie-les-Lys, a historic site that has served as the show's base for many years. This season sees a new director, Mosimann, who previously won the seventh edition of the show. He now takes over from Michael Goldman, marking a significant shift in leadership for the program.
Mosimann, currently touring with his "Dream Tour," faces the challenge of balancing his music career with his new role. During a press conference, he admitted that organizing his time has been difficult. "It was a bit complicated. I had to cancel a date and organize for the second prime of the season," he said. While he previously couldn't explain the cancellation, he now feels more comfortable sharing the reasons with the public and plans to reschedule the affected date.
The challenges of managing both his tour and the Star Academy will affect the scheduling of live broadcasts on TF1, the channel that airs the show. Mosimann joked about the complexity of the situation, saying, "Sometimes there will be primes on Fridays, I will perform on Saturdays and vice versa. It's all an organization! I'm very bad at this, so if I don't have my manager, I can't answer you." Despite the difficulties, he remains committed to the show.
Fans of Star Academy can be assured that Mosimann is fully dedicated to the new season. He plans to be present at the château de Dammarie-les-Lys at least five days a week and has even arranged for a room near the castle to stay frequently. "I plan to stay there often," he said. While he will have to manage scheduled absences, his goal is to support the new batch of contestants and ensure the show runs smoothly throughout the season.
