TF1 will kick off the new season of Star Academy on Saturday, October 15th. On this occasion, we met Nikos Aliağas, who returned to the beginning of the cult show. “In the beginning there was no one, we must not forget that. Two people changed the story of the ac’ star and we owe them a lot. Florent Pagny sponsored the first edition, but our first guests were Dany Brillant and Marc Lavoine. And from there, other artists followed and on their own, in the end why not!“.
Indeed, for Nikos, two singers contributed to the arrival of international stars on the set: “In a way, thanks to them, we got the others. We wouldn’t have had our first two artists, it was over, the season was over.” he believes. Then the biggest celebrities walked on the set of TF1, we especially remember Beyoncé, Rihanna, Madonna and even Ray Charles. But it was singer Tina Turner during the fourth edition that impressed the presenter the most.
“She was humble, she was professional, she wasn’t there to say ‘I’m Tina Turner. “remembers Nikos, who said he learned a lot from the artist: “He came to rehearsals and said ‘we’ll count the steps together’ to know exactly when I should shake hands with him. He sang at rehearsals as if he were in front of ten million people. She gave it all, she was sweating. Everything is set, millimeters“. Professionalism that surprised the host: “JI was 30 years old, but I was like a child. I was learning, I was recording. Tina Turner, the school of the stage“
Nikos Aliağas has never lost his enthusiasm when he has been leading entertainment programs and meetings with the biggest celebrities for over 20 years: “The day you are even more surprised, you have to change jobs. The stars impress me as much as anyone, but when I shoot, I’m no longer a fan“clarified host before ending:”I’m impressed by the intensity of an artist, but when he’s home, I have to do the work.“.
