It is based on the Israeli singing competition HaKokhav HaBa (meaning The Next Star) made by Keshet Broadcasting Ltd.

The program format lets the viewers vote for contestants live via the television channel's mobile app Voot.

[2][3] In contrast to other singing competition TV shows which feature a cast of celebrity judges, Rising Star features a cast of celebrity experts and considers the viewers at home the judges.

[4] During each performance, the audience at home is able to decide in real time whether or not a contestant is sent through to the next round by using a mobile voting app.

As a reportage of the announced performer is shown, viewers are invited to register for voting for that specific act.

Following a countdown of three seconds, the candidate has to start performing behind a screen called "The Wall".

The Live auditions began from 10 March 2019 on the grand finale of Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi 9.
