Idol Puerto Rico is a reality television competition to find new solo singing talent. Part of the Idol franchise, it is based on the British show Pop Idol created by Simon Fuller. The first season of the show debut on August 7, 2011 on WAPA-TV.
Idol Puerto Rico is the Puerto Rico edition of the British show Pop Idol. Like its international counterparts, the show employs a panel of judges to select singers in audition, then adding other elements such as telephone voting by the viewing public and the drama of backstories and real-life soap opera unfolding in real time. The show debuted in 2011 in Puerto Rico with Paola Portilla, Luciano Cardinali, and Jimmy Arteaga as producers. In 2012, the show was renewed for a second season which debuted in July 29, 2012.
The first season of Idol Puerto Rico featured four judges: producer Topy Mamery, singer Ricardo Montaner, singer/producer Erika Ender, and singer Jerry Rivera. For the second season, Ender and Rivera were replaced by Mamery's wife, singer Yolandita Monge. Guest judges may occasionally be introduced.
Both seasons have been hosted by model and presenter Jaime Augusto Mayol.
The eligible age-range for contestants is currently sixteen to twenty-eight years old. The contestants must be legal U.S. residents, and present the completed required form with a proper identification. Minors should be accompanied by their parents or legal guardians.
Auditions are usually held on two locations: Hiram Bithorn Stadium in San Juan, and Auditorio Juan Pachín Vicéns in Ponce. During the auditions, contestants will perform in front of the judges and/or producers. They will then choose a total of 80 contestants to advance to the "Theater Level" auditions.
