[edit] Rules
In the early auditions, hopeful contestants are screened by preliminary panels to be selected for singing talent. The audition process is long and tedious, beginning with hundreds of candidates eliminated until the number is lowered. Every week, the contestants face different tasks that involve singing to complete. The one that performs the worst will be eliminated. The six finalists will no longer face elimination, but they will be graded on their performance each week and the one who excels wins the grand prize: one million NT dollars and a record contract.
