Star Academy is a highly successful television show format produced by Endemol , that has been broadcasted in over 50 countries. It is a Pop Music talent contest with viewer voting and Reality Show elements. FORMAT There are many versions of the ''Star Academy'' show, each country having its own slight variations, but the basic concept remains the same: contestants live in a boarding-school called "The Academy", managed by a director, and various teachers coach them in several artistic disciplines. The participants are filmed with hidden cameras throughout the day and night (an idea borrowed from another of Endemol's major reality shows '' Big Brother ''). Once a week, the contestants have to face a prime time show, where they sing the song they've preparing during the week before, as well as recapping their trials and tribulations at The Academy from the past week. The live show will often feature special guest stars, with whom some of the contestants have the opportunity to sing. Based on the judges' verdicts and viewer voting, the weakest contestant is dropped. The eventual winner is awarded a record deal, or similar prize. HISTORY The ''Star Academy'' idea belongs to Spanish production house Gestmusic , an Endemol 's branch in Spain . Even so, the first country in releasing the format was France, on October 20th, 2001. Three days later, '' Operación Triunfo '', as the show is called in Spanish speaking countries, began in Spain . Since that moment, the ''Star Academy'' phenomenon began to be developed in an unstoppable way, being impelled by the sweeping success of the contest in major media markets like France or Russia . Nowadays, ''Star Academy'' is the second most expanded reality show, just behind '' Big Brother '', and has reached markets so different as India , Middle East or United States , becoming the first Spanish format ever acquired by these countries.
