It's been a long time coming, but news finally reaches us that the winner of last year's Star Academy, Cyril Cinelu, is in the studio recording his debut album which will be a mix of 7 original songs and some cover versions by Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston and Terence Trent D'Arby. Cyril has told the French press that he preferred to take his time to choose his songs for his debut album rather than release an album a couple of months after winning the show.

Even though we didn't agree with the result (Dominique should have won), we applaud Cyril's attitude in doing his own thing and taking his time - a bit like his Nouvelle Star winning counterpart Christophe Willem: if Cyril can produce an album as cracking as Christophe's then he will do very well indeed.
