Rules
1. All types of content are welcome: fanart, fic, song covers, edits, shitposting, memes, collages… If you can think of it, we want it!
2. There is no mandatory minimum. You can fill one prompt or all of them, create several fills for one prompt, etc. Even the smallest works are encouraged! If you are inspired to write just one paragraph or even one sentence, we’d love to see it!
3. We accept any content (including NSFW, gore, etc.) provided that it is appropriately tagged
4. You can prepare your fills ahead of time or make them during the week
5. You can post your fills anywhere you’d like (or nowhere, we’re not the Monopolis police!) but Discord and Tumblr will be our hubs and therefore the most visible places to show off your creations. Use the tag #starmaweek2 or send your fill via our inbox to be reposted!
6. Prompts are meant to inspire, not constrain! If your fill doesn’t fit 100%, don’t worry about it, the point is to create something. You can interpret the prompts as freely as you want!
Full-length recording of a 20-year anniversary special aired on French television in 1998, in the presence of Luc Plamondon and Lewis Furey, with the Mogador 98 cast on set plus many stars singing more or less related songs (the original cast of Notre Dame de Paris, a bunch of previous Starmania cast members from a bunch of versions, also Celine Dion is there??)
Get it while it's available, it feels like the kind of video that might not last so long!
At last! So happy to find the whole emission. This should come with a story from Wenta that she shared recently with the video of “Stone”. The legacy cast of 88 were NOT invited as usual (that explains why there is NDDP as always). But she confronted Luc Plamondon backstage and he quickly arranged that they all joined the show. ✊🏻

💬 5 🔁 9 ❤️ 9 · Starmania Ask Meme, anyone? · Based on a long tradition, let's bring back the ask meme!
(If you're unfamiliar: anyone who
Favourite song :
"Le Blues du businessman" is THE song of Starmania for me, it embodies the unexplored gray areas of Zero Janvier but especially the extent of Starmania on all of Monopolis, even a politician who is already a kind of "star" in this world is dissatisfied with his lifestyle and secretly wishes that the public perceives him as the opposite of the ferocious politician he has become
Favourite scene :
Unfortunately not used enough in all versions of the show " le rêve de stella spotlight " interior monologue or untouchable trio in the 1988 version ? For me it's perfection
Favourite storyline :
The 1988 plot makes more sense to me
Favourite character :
Johnny Rockfort of course !!
Dream cast across all versions :
Norman Groulx for Johnny Rockfort
For Cristal ? ... It's complicated because I haven't yet found my favorite performer for this role !
( * Cecilia Cara would have made a SUPERB Cristal )
Maurane for Marie-Jeanne
Richard Groulx for Zéro Janvier
Sabrina Lory for Stella Spotlight
Renaud Hantson for Ziggy
Wenta for Sadia
Roddy Julienne for Gourou Marabout
2023 Ai for Roger Roger
Francis Martin for l'Extraterrestre
Favourite Marie-Jeanne / Ziggy duos :
Favourite costume ( any version ) :
Least favourite song :
" Besoin d'amour" I ALWAYS skip it
Which version is your fave :
I discovered Starmania with the 1988 album and cast, but it's clearly the 2023 masterpiece that stole my heart
If you know several versions, do you have a fave or most hated change ? :
The disappearance and successive reappearance of Gourou Marabout and l'Extraterrestre who deserves to appear more often, however I am rather in favor of the suppression of " Sex shops , cinéma porno " which is perhaps a little too experimental for me
Fave Starmania cover by a non-Starmania artist :
If you were remaking the show, which songs would you include/exclude :
I remove " Besoin d'amour " and " Nos planètes se séparent "
But I add " Le rêve de Stella ( trio version) " and " L'air de l'extraterrestre " (the 1980 Quebec version)
Which Cristal death is your fave across all versions :
I've always been frustrated by the lack of symbolism in her death ...
Have you seen the show live :
Twice !! 2023 and 2024
First Starmania you encountered and what you thought :
As a child, I only knew the cult songs played on the radio, without knowing that they came from a show
Then in 2017, I came across the 1988 album and I immediately fell in love with this version, It was when I arrived on Tumblr a year ago that I really took the time to explore all the existing versions ( especially the Quebec versions, which I was totally unaware of )
Starmania you watched / listened to the most recently? (Any medium/platform) :
The 1979 live album combined with the 1988 studio album
( I took a huge amount of time to sort everything out properly on my Deezer / Spotify playlist of French Musicals )
If you were in the show, which character would you want to play :
I am clearly Marie Jeanne ( the other female characters are too difficult for me to sing or play anyway )
If somebody told you that they'd seen the original and remembered it perfectly, what would you want to know :
( he would probably be a big mythomaniac but just in case )
" When and above all WHY Zero and Sadia crown the Gourou ? "
If you could time-travel, which version would you like to see live :
Even if it's not my favorite, the original from 1979 just for Daniel Balavoine
Would Zéro Janvier or Gourou Marabout make the better leader :
Monopolis would become an extremist dictatorship with these two ... so none if possible ?
Should Johnny have picked Cristal or Sadia :
Johnny and Marie Jeanne are soulmates 😐
What would you order at the Underground Café :
" Un bon verre d'eau " 👍
Does Marie-Jeanne die at the end :
I hope not, she deserves to plant her tomatoes far from underground
Is Stella and Zéro's relationship real or PR :
Zero wants a trophy wife and Stella wants to be immortalized ... it's a toxic relationship
Is Sadia a double-agent from the start or initially sincere :
For me she is an impulsive teenager in rebellion, she co-created les étoiles noirs to make herself feel like she belongs to something big and controversial, maybe she had already set her romantic / sexual sights on Johnny ? I take her betrayal of her own gang as a stupid and angry response to Johnny's rejection, again she's a teenager ! she does shit in a world that encourages her to use violence to get what she wants
What's your headcanon about Sadia's gender :
Since the first version Sadia should have been played by a man !!!
