Zvezde Granda (Grand Stars, Serbian Cyrillic: Звезде Гранда) is a televised singing contest in Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina[1] organized by the Grand Production record label. It is broadcast live on commercial television throughout the Balkans.
Airing on Pink TV in Serbia, as well as its subsidiaries Pink M and Pink BH in Montenegro and Bosnia-Herzegovina, the competition has so far been held in eleven seasons with the twelfth season beginning in September. Musical numbers performed by the contestants usually fall in the folk, pop-folk and turbo-folk genres, although since the 2007 season there has been a significant increase of straight pop elements.
Similar to the Idol series, over the course of a season, the eventual Zvezde Granda winner is voted by the TV. However, Season 11 had 2 winners, one voted by the public and another one voted by the jury. Those winners are Riste Risteski and Aleksa Perovič.
Concept
The show starts with a jury consisting of folk music stars and show's producers, led by the owner of Grand Production, Saša Popović, picking out the contestants in the auditions throughout Serbia and other Balkan countries.
Those picked at the auditions get a chance to showcase their skills on televised broadcasts over the next few months. Eventually, there are 6-7 finalists left (mostly three guys and three girls), who compete in the final night, when one, Grand Star, is chosen. This act is, however, purely symbolical - being the chosen Grand Star does not guarantee success. The only reward for other finalists is one or two songs on Zvezde Granda compilation album. After that, they are pretty much left on their own, to find the way to viewer's hearts and make an album.

The winner of the second season of Zvezde Granda was Milica Todorović. This generation of Grand Stars was arguably less successful than the first one, so by 2009. only Jadranka and Milica had their contracts with Grand renewed. Both released their first albums this year, named "Krv sam tvoja" (I'm your blood) and "Pamtim ja" (I remember), respectively.
