Idol Philippines, formally known by its title as the Search for the Idol Philippines, is a Philippine reality singing television competition on ABS-CBN to find new solo singing talents.[1] It is part of the Idol franchise created by British entertainment executive Simon Fuller. This is the third adaptation of the Idol franchise in the Philippines, after Philippine Idol in 2006 by ABC Development Corporation and Pinoy Idol in 2008 by GMA Network.[2]

The show is hosted by singer-actor Billy Crawford; while the judging panel is composed of singer-actress Regine Velasquez, comedian and television presenter Vice Ganda, singer-actor James Reid, and singer-songwriter Moira Dela Torre.[3] The show's first season aired on April 21, 2019 and concluded on July 28, 2019.[4][5]

A second season has been confirmed by Crawford on the finale of the first season. But due to the non-renewal and denial of the network's franchise, and with Crawford along with director Bobet Vidanes focusing on blocktimers on TV5, the new season would either be unlikely to materialize or would air on Kapamilya Channel (and from 2021, the newly-launched A2Z Channel 11) instead, and would likely feature a yet-to-be determined host and director.

Overview[]

Development[]

On October 17, 2018, it was announced that ABS-CBN will broadcast the third incarnation of the Idol franchise in the Philippines after it had sealed a franchise deal with Fremantle and 19 Entertainment, the co-owners of the format.[6]

Judges and host[]

Judges and host of "Idol Philippines"

In October 2018, Regine Velasquez was revealed as the first judge after signing her exclusive contract with ABS-CBN.[2][7] With her 32 years in the entertainment industry, this will be a first time for her to judge a singing competition.[8][9] Following this announcement, there were rumors that Jessica Sanchez, the runner-up of the 11th season of American Idol, will be added as a judge but it has been denied by her.[10] Speculations also circulated that David Archuleta, the runner-up of the seventh season of American Idol, was also considered to become a judge for the show, but the rumors were downplayed by him saying that he was not invited by the network's management.[11]

In November 2018, Billy Crawford confirmed his role as the host of the local franchise which is part of his renewed contract deal with ABS-CBN.[12][13]

On February 26, 2019, Philippine Entertainment Portal unofficially revealed that James Reid, Vice Ganda and Moira Dela Torre will join Velasquez as the show's judging panel. According to the website, a reliable source sent them a photo of the four judges standing behind a judges' table similar to those of the other Idol franchises.[14] The three remaining judges' were later confirmed on the same day, after they were officially introduced on TV Patrol, ABS-CBN's primetime newscast.[15][16][17] Among the four judges, Vice Ganda is an experienced judge—having been a judge for Pinoy Boyband Superstar and two seasons of Pilipinas Got Talent. It was revealed in an interview that Vice Ganda was the only judge handpicked by Fremantle.[18]

Companion online show[]

An online show, called Idol on the Road, airs together with the main program on Idol Philippines' Facebook and YouTube accounts; it is hosted by BoybandPH and comedian Jervi Li, commonly known as KaladKaren Davila. The said show airs live from the Idol Philippines Bus.

Pre-auditions[]
