Encyclopedia
Ídolos is a Brazilian reality television
competition to find new solo singing talent. Part of the Idol franchise
, it was created by Simon Fuller
as a spin-off
from the British show Pop Idol
, of which two series were broadcast between 2001 and 2003.
The show aims to discover the best singer in the country through a series of nationwide auditions in which viewer voting determines the winner.

, Saulo Roston
, Israel Lucero and Henrique Lemes. The eligible age-range for contestants is currently 15–30 years old.
The show airs on Tuesday and Thursdays nights in Brazil (Wednesday and Thursday nights during seasons 1 and 2, Tuesday and Wednesday nights during seasons 3 and 4).
Out of the thousands of people who would show up to audition, only about 80–100 contestants in each city made it past this round of preliminary auditions.
However, in the more recent seasons, for the benefit of the viewers watching on TV, contestants were to skip this stage and go straight through to audition in front of the judges. Those who advance are sent to São Paulo. Only about 15–20 people in each city make it to São Paulo.
Not all auditions are televised due to time constraints. Only five cities are visited for auditions each season.
For the next round, the contestants split themselves up into small groups and performed a song together. In the final round, the contestants performed a song of their choice a cappella

from SBT Studios on Anhanguera TV Center (seasons 1-2) and from Rede Record Studios
(season 3-present), in São Paulo, in front of a live studio audience.
The finals lasted for nine to ten weeks. Each finalist performs a song or songs selected from a weekly theme. During the first few weeks, contestants sing one song each. The top four and five contestants must sing two songs apiece. The top three perform three songs apiece.
Themes are based on a musical genre, songs recorded by particular artists, or more generic themes. Contestants usually work with a celebrity mentor during each week.
Following each performance episode, a results show airs that reveals the breakdown of the voting public's decision. The three contestants (two in later rounds) who received the lowest number of votes are typically called to the center of the stage.
From the bottom three, one contestant is sent to safety so that two contestants remain and finally the contestant who received the lowest amount of votes is eliminated from the competition. When a contestant is voted off the show, a montage of the contestant's experience is played and they give their final performance.
In the finale, the two remaining contestants perform to determine the winner. For the first two seasons the finale was held in the same studio performances of the Top 10-12. The finale for season three took place at the Arena Skol Anhembi
, in São Paulo
. From season four onwards, the venue was changed to the Via Funchal
