''Star Académie'' is a Canadian reality TV series started in 2003, aimed primarily at the Quebec television audience, featuring an array of young women and men competing for the title of the best singer. It is the French-Canadian adaptation of the French television show ''Star Academy'' produced by Netherlands company Endemol, based on the Spanish format called ''Operación Triunfo''. There have been seasons in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2009, and 2012. ==Description== It is aired for two months (February to April) on the TVA network. 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 gender) 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 second pregnancy of the hostess and her busy schedule with ''Le Banquier'', the Quebec version of ''Deal or No Deal''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Star Académie」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
