Superstar (also stylized SuperStar) is a Brazilian live reality television singing competition airing on TV Globo. Based on the Israeli singing competition Rising Star, the series was created by Keshet Media Group and developed by Screenz Cross Media LTD.
The show's format lets viewers vote for contestants via mobile apps. The winner is entitled to a R$ 500,000 prize, a new Ford Ka and a recording contract with Som Livre.
The Brazilian version only allows bands or groups to compete, not solo artists and duos, to avoid clashing with The Voice Brasil (also produced and broadcast by TV Globo during the Southern Hemisphere spring).
The series premiered on April 6, 2014. In June 2014, TV Globo renewed the show for a second season.
In November 2016, TV Globo canceled the series after three seasons due to declining viewership.




Format


SuperStar features a cast of celebrity experts and considers the viewers at home the judges. During each performance, the audience at home is able to decide in real time whether or not a band is sent through to the next round by using a mobile voting app.
While the viewers at home are considered the "judges", the expert panelists also influence the vote. During most of the show, a yes vote from one of the judges added 7% to the performers total. In the semifinals, the expert's yes vote was lowered to a 5% add (and for only one band each). In the finale, the expert's yes vote only counts as a home judge vote.




= Auditions

=
Each performance begins with the band singing behind a screen ('The Wall'). Once the band reaches 70% of "Yes" votes, the wall is raised and the band goes to the next round of the competition. Alongside the viewers' vote, three of the panelists (excluding the host) have 7% of the vote each, which will be added should they vote "Yes".




= Duels

=
The bands are paired by the judges to face off in a duel. The first band to perform, chosen by a coin toss before the show, sings with the wall up and sets the benchmark for the second contestant. The second contestant sings with the wall down. If the second band betters the first band's vote total, the wall rises and the second band is through to the next round while the first band is eliminated; if the second band fails to raise the wall, the second band is eliminated and the first band is through.




= Solos

=
The top 12 bands compete against each other in weeks of live broadcasts, where public voting narrows to a final group of bands and eventually declares the season's winner.

Ratings and reception


The first season was panned by the audience and critics. The series premiere was characterized by many technical failures as the SuperStar app did not work for many users, preventing public involvement. Constant error messages appeared on the screen. On Twitter, an avalanche of complaints and jokes about the problem.
There was also plenty of criticism reserved for hosts Fernanda Lima and André Marques, who failed to control the stage, and for the experts Ivete Sangalo, Fábio Jr. and Dinho Ouro Preto, for their lack of objectivity and anxiety in their speeches, sometimes contradictory.
