Super Idol (Chinese: 超級偶像) was a Taiwanese music competition aiming to showcase and find new singing talent.
The show was produced by Sanlih E-Television and the series premiered on 27 October 2007 on SET Metro, and ended after nine seasons of broadcast on 7 December 2014.
For season eight, Sam Tseng and Claire Guo were replaced with the hosts until the series' end, and Sasa Zhong replaced Guo during the middle of the ninth and final season.
A format similar to the Got Talent franchise and used on earlier phases of the competition, each judge in a panel of five has a buzzer to light up during a performance.
For the first season, the total score was shown in integer, but due to the possibility that multiple contestants received the same scores, the later phases of the season were adjusted to include one decimal point.
For the first five seasons, once the competition is down to six are finalists, these contestants will have to undergo four rounds for the champion title.
