Star Académie
Encyclopedia
Star Académie is a Canadian
reality TV series started in 2003, aimed primarily at the Quebec
television audience, featuring an array of competing young women and men for the title of the best singer. It is the Québécois
adaptation of the French
television show Star Academy
produced by Netherlands
company Endemol
, based on the Spanish
format called Operación Triunfo
.
network. It is part of the reality television craze of the turn of the millennium. Hosted by Julie Snyder
, the show is a competition to find the best young francophone singer, not only in Quebec, but also in French-speaking regions of Canada, having auditions in Ontario
(Eastern Ontario
) and New Brunswick
(l'Acadie
). Then fourteen people (seven of each sex) are chosen to compete in front of the cameras.
It is separated in two simultaneous formats: each day during the week, a show presents moments of the life and training in the common house of the Académiciens and each weekend sees one Gala show where the contenders sing. At each of these Galas, some participants are put on the line and one is chosen to stay by the public and by the judging panel.
It proved to be immensely popular, drawing not only viewership, but genuine affection from the public for the young idealistic contenders. Pride also arises for the regions where the participants are from, like pride was felt by many from the Acadian people
when Wilfred Le Bouthillier
, from Acadia, was chosen for the competition and later crowned winner of the first, 2003 edition.
It has also proved to be an effective springboard for the singing careers of some of its past participants, like 2003 finalists Wilfred Le Bouthillier, who recorded with the help of renowned Cajun
singer Zachary Richard
, and Marie-Élaine Thibert
, who also released an album and sung for the soundtrack of Léa Pool
's movie The Blue Butterfly.
The show was on a 4 year hiatus due to the hostess', Julie Snyder, second pregnancy and her busy schedule with Le Banquier

phenomena. The name was francized for its Quebec adaptation because of the local importance given to the respect of the French language
. However, it does create a grammatically
impossible phrase in French. The proper translation would be Académie des stars, although this could be considered less catchy. Francization is typically given even more importance in Quebec French
than in France itself (see Office québécois de la langue française
).
A relatively small, but notable difference in the show format from its French counterpart is the selection process. Each week, the French version asks the public and judging panel to vote for which one, out of the contenders in danger, should be excluded from the show. The results are announced live, on stage, to the excluded member and the viewers. While this formula was followed in the beginning for Star Académie, it soon was changed because of protests, for the system was seen as cruel treatment to the excluded participant. On one early show, singer Daniel Boucher
quit the studio halfway through the show because of this impression. Consequently, the public and judges are now asked to vote for the participant to remain at the Académie. The results are still announced live.
