French Format Of The Series

The four members of the jury have to evaluate about 25000 contestants around France and Belgium(in Liege). Besides the successful auditioneers, the poorest performers are aired as from the first "Prime", as the "Inoubliables"(unforgettables), till the final where a special top ten is also aired. As from series 5, the top 5 poorest singers sing live during the final.

Of these 25000 contestants, only 150 (140 in series 6) are selected for further audition stages. The second stage of the auditions takes place at the Theatre Trianon in central Paris, where two more auditions take place during a three-day period(summarized in two weekly shows). The exercises are all imposed and enables to guage the artistic talents of the contestants on precize criterias: pitch and rhythmic accuracy, learning of lyrics, accelarated learning of a song, ability to sing in trio, management of tiredness and stress, etc. During the first day of the Theatre stage of auditions, contestants perform on stage in lines of eight where each one has to sing any song of their choice a capella. On day 2, 70 successful contestants of the previous step have to choose between three imposed songs (two are either for boys or girls and the third one is for both, new feature of series 6) and have to form trios with other contestants of their choice but of the same sex, they will be accompanied by a guitar and a piano. The 50 remaining contestants will interprete a song, in french, accompanied by an orchestra band. For the first time at this ultimate step before the live primes, this year, the contestants have performed in front of more than 400 persons including the jury at the theatre.

The jury will have to decide between 20 remaining contestants (27 in series 6) on a television screen, reviewing the all auditions of those contestants, of which they will select 15 for the first live television prime where they will be submitted to viewers' vote. In series 6, the viewers rejected 6 contestants of which the jury saved one.

There is no wildcard round in the french format, and viewers only vote by text or by phone. Only viewers' votes decide of the result during the prime, but the judges comment by giving first an illustrated verdict by colored traffic lights in front of them Blue for Good, and Red for bad performance (coloured lights introduced in series 5, and taken the form of traffic lights in series 6). The voting is different from American Idol as viewers vote during the programme and results are given at the end of it, by Virginie (The Host) and Maitre Najar(bailiff), where Virginie selects at random the saved contestants leaving only the ones dropped by the viewers. The previous series' jury (Mainly Marianne James) was used to contest a lot the results.
