Star Academy

Star Academy is a reality television franchise that originated in France in the early 2000s. It combines elements of a talent competition and a social experiment, featuring contestants, often aspiring singers, who live together in a house and undergo various training programs in the arts, particularly music and performance. The participants are evaluated by a panel of judges and the audience through public voting, with weekly eliminations leading to a final winner, who typically receives a recording contract or other opportunities in the entertainment industry. The format has sparked numerous international adaptations, making it a significant phenomenon in pop culture.
