The tenth season of Nouvelle Star began on October 31, 2013, and finished on February 20, 2014.
Starting with second series of prime shows, another change was introduced.
Two candidates would be eliminated by public vote, but the judges would be given the opportunity to save one of the Bottom 4 to move on to the next round.
Starting with the advanced primes from 2 January 2014 onwards, the viewers were given the choice to vote by colour online, thus giving them more power, making them effectively a "fifth judge alongside the four regular judges of the series.
For the shows on 17, 24 and 31 January, the viewers could vote online through the official website of the show to decide which song the remaining contestants would reinterprete a second time from their repertoire of initial performances including their audition song.
