Production
On 16 October 2016, Variety had reported that Viacom18 had signed a licensing deal with Keshet International for the format rights to reality show Rising Star. The show is set to begin airing in the first quarter of 2017 on Colors TV.[3][4]
Show Format
In contrast to other singing competition TV shows which feature a cast of celebrity judges, 'Rising Star' 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 contestant 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 may influence the vote but with only a small percentage of the total voting power. For eg – if the total voting power is 100% the judges may hold approximately 25%, thereby by giving the power to the people.[5]
