Nouvelle Star season 8

The eighth season of Nouvelle Star began on March 2 and finished on June 16. Virginie Guilhaume returned as the host for her sophomore season. André Manoukian remained as the only original jury member after eight years along Philippe Manœuvre and Lio. After one season Sinclair decided to leave and was replaced by former FFF-member Marco Prince[1] because of, according to fellow judge Lio, personal dissatisfaction in the Nouvelle Star-experience for Sinclair.
