American Idol was shown for the first time on television in January 2002. At that time, there were many movies and TV series, but no reality competitions on TV. The participants in this programme are ordinary people who the audience can really identify with.
First, judges travel all round America in search of the best singers and bring them to Hollywood. Twenty-four to thirty-six participants are then chosen to go on to the next stages where they perform live on TV, and receive the judges' opinions. From the semi-final onwards, people over 13 and living in the US, Puerto Rico, or the Virgin Islands can vote for their preferred singers online or through text messaging. The singer with the lowest number of votes is eliminated. On the final night, the most popular singer becomes the winner of that American Idol season.

The Voice: A Different Kind of Singing Competition
The Voice is another popular singing series that started in 2010. Unlike other talent shows, this competition has a unique format. In search of the best voices, the judges sit with their backs to the participants during the first round. They can only hear the singers, not see them. If a judge likes what they hear, they can choose to turn their chair around.
The participants often feel nervous, but many viewers can identify with their emotions. The competition has several stages: blind auditions, battle rounds, and the semi-final. In each round, some contestants are eliminated. The audience can vote for their favorite singers in the later stages. Judges give their honest opinion about each performance, helping contestants improve.
This format has become so popular that many countries have created their own version of The Voice. From the original series to international versions, the show continues to discover new talent.
