Just four days after winning the eleventh season of "Star Academy", Pierre has already released his very first single, "Ceux qu'on été", a song he wrote and composed in his bedroom. Unfortunately, some of his fans were disappointed by this studio version. The winner of “Star Ac” responded to them today in a story shared on Instagram. 

Pierre hasn't had a minute to himself since he won

Star Academy

last Saturday! The academician did a series of interviews and also took the time to go into the studio to record his very first single 

Those We Were

. A song that he had composed before entering the castle of Dammarie-les-Lys and that he never stopped humming during the adventure.

A highly criticized studio version

During the finale, Pierre had the incredible opportunity to sing it for the very first time on stage, in front of millions of viewers, thanks to Dadju. "He gave me a great surprise! No one knew that he was going to start singing my song 

Those We Were

, not even Nikos! When Dadju said "stop, we're cutting the prime" while "we were singing together, I told myself that I had done something stupid because you don't interrupt a prime like that. I was a little panicked because it wasn't planned but the audience carried me along .

He covered my song as if he had known it for years. It was a very strong moment", Pierre confided Tuesday February 6 to Europe1.fr. This memorable television sequence created a real craze around

Those we were

, which everyone can now listen to on repeat! The single from Pierre was in fact released this Wednesday, February 7 at midnight on all platforms.

"It's normal that you are a little disappointed..."

Unfortunately, this studio version, very far from the acoustic version that Pierre had proposed to

Star Ac

, was not unanimously accepted. "Such a waste !" or even “Your acoustic version is a marvel and the arrangement of the single is a tasteless commercial soup which has lost all the force of the words of your song”, commented some Internet users.

After reading all these comments, Pierre responded to his detractors via an Instagram story. "For those who want the acoustic version, there's no problem, I'm going to do one soon, and it's normal that you're a little lost, that's a change. But for me in any case, I love this version,” he reacted, without any bitterness. Pierre then thanked all his followers (more than 950,000): "Thank you for what you have given me, it's incredible. The acoustic version is coming very soon, no worries". So everyone can sleep peacefully!
