Inspired by the Idols franchise, the show gave ordinary Hongkongers the opportunity to appear as contestants on stage to sing and perform.
Starting from May 2005, primaries were not only held in Hong Kong, but also in Guangzhou, Macau, Toronto, Taipei, Shanghai, Singapore, Sydney etc.
Their act must involve singing one of eight randomly selected songs for each episode, which included Cantopop, Mandopop, and even English-language popular music.
A laugh track was heavily used instantly whenever one-liners or off-key singing was present, supplementing the studio audience's reactions.
Note that most Hong Kong variety shows use laugh tracks heavily for network purposes.
