It is the first reality singing competition to offer a RM 1 million prize to the winner[citation needed].
The objective of awarding a large amount of prize money is to provide the winner with quality production and marketing resources.
The show features two judges who critique the contestants' performances to facilitate voting: former singer and music lecturer Syafinaz Selamat and brand manager for 8TV, Paul Moss.
A unique feature of the show is that recording artists, established or otherwise, can take part in this contest, as displayed by popular singers Dayang Nurfaizah and Siti Sarah Raisuddin.
Contestants must also not be representatives, employees, servants and/or agents of advertising or promotion service providers of 8TV and their immediate family member.
[2] The producers of the show hold open public auditions at locations across the country, where anyone who is eligible can attend.
Each contestant enters the audition room, often after waiting for hours, and delivers either an a cappella or accompanied by their own guitar or keyboard instrument.
