Star Academy: Tension between Kamel Ouali and Djébril, the explosive reaction of the choreographer

Open conflict at the Star Academy: Kamel Ouali reacts strongly to Djébril

During the Star Academy broadcast on December 20, tensions were palpable between Kamel Ouali and candidate Djébril. In the middle of an evaluation, the latter expresses deep doubts regarding his future participation in the program, which triggers a fiery reaction from the renowned choreographer.

Uncertainty of Djébril: the clarification of Kamel Ouali

Depressed and under pressure, Djébril, 22, seems to have lost the flame that motivated him at the start of his adventure within the academy. He apologizes to the jury for what could be “the weakest performance since his arrival”, revealing his lack of enthusiasm for singing at this crucial moment of the competition. His inability to memorize the words of Grégory Lemarchal’s song is another sign of his demoralization. In front of the teachers, he resigns himself to accepting any possible “sentence”, showing a disconcerting fatalism.

Kamel Ouali’s response is not long in coming. The distinguished choreographer, who arrived during the seventh week, does not hide his irritation at what he perceives as a lack of respect towards the faculty and other participants. For him, such an attitude during an evaluation is unacceptable. He encourages Djébril to channel his emotions into the art of singing, or to leave the adventure if he no longer finds pleasure in participating in it.

Gratitude despite frustration

Nevertheless, Kamel Ouali admits that Djébril produced a quality performance despite his state of mind. The choreographer reminds him of the importance of making his flaws felt, emphasizing that the artists who make an impact are those who dare to show their vulnerability. His speech appears to be a powerful reminder to Djébril and the other candidates of the importance of fully embracing their artistic journey, including their imperfections.

The situation is indicative of the intense pressures to which participants in such reality TV programs are subjected, where personal and professional issues mix.
