Vijay TV's Super Singer is a reality television-music competition series telecast on the Indian Tamil language TV channel, STAR Vijay (also known as Vijay TV). Originally airing as Airtel Super Singer in April 2006, the TV series has since adapted into various high level music competitions on Vijay TV, including Airtel Super Singer, Airtel Super Singer Junior, Airtel Super Singer T20, and Super Singer Celebrity Season.

The first season premiered on 28 April 2006, with a series of episodes which telecast auditions for the show. Auditions were held across the state of Tamil Nadu in the cities of Coimbatore, Chennai, and Madurai. Performances by auditioning contestants were judged by singers S. P. Sailaja, Jency, Malaysia Vasudevan, Sirkazhi Sivachidambaram, Mahathi, and music director D. Imman.

The show was hosted by playback singer Chinmayi. Later stages of the competition were held at a specially designed studio set, and performances were judged by a panel of permanent judges consisting of playback singers Anuradha Sriram, Srinivas, and Unnikrishnan. Contestants were eliminated during the competition, and finalists received special training from voice expert Ananth Vaidyanathan in the final stages of the competition.
