Super Star chose an elimination format, with off-stage audiences supporting their favorite contestants through text message voting, which accounts for eighty percent of the total score.
The remaining score is equally divided, with ten percent from on-site audience votes and another ten percent from mentor scores.
This means that whether a contestant sings well or not is up to the audience!
Moreover, with only two minutes allotted for off-site voting, the possibility of vote manipulation is significantly curtailed, and the mentors' scoring influence is minimal, which also limits the likelihood of foul play among the mentors. As such, netizens generally consider the show to be fair and feel a sense of personal involvement in making stars out of their favorite performers.
Each round of competition features twenty-four contestants taking to the stage, and through preliminary rounds, advancing rounds, and finals, the top three are selected.
