Zvezde Granda (Serbian Cyrillic: Звезде Гранда; "Grand Stars") is Serbia’s most popular reality television music competition organized by Grand Production to find new singing talents. The contestants are aspiring singers drawn from public auditions. The show features elements from the international franchises such as Idol and The X Factor. Airing primarily on Prva TV in Serbia, it also broadcasts on commercial television throughout the former Yugoslavia. The competition has 14 seasons so far.

The show has had fourteen winners so far with various other contestants who have appeared on the show and gained success in the music industry like Milica Todorović, Tanja Savić, Rada Manojlović, Milan Stanković, Milica Pavlović, , Katarina Grujić, and many others. Zvezde Granda is arguably the most popular talent show in the Balkans maintaining high ratings for most of the season.

Format[]

The show starts with a round of first auditions held in front of the producers months before the show is aired, either by application and appointment, or at "open" auditions that anyone can attend. These auditions, held at various places around the Balkans, are not televised.

Those who get through get a chance to showcase their skills by singing in front of the judging panel on televised broadcasts over the next few months. The show consists of six rounds, while in each round the number of remaining contestants is reducing. In the first round, the judges cannot see the contestants and decide exclusively based on their vocal abilities. Later on contestants are also judged by their stage presence and appearance. Finalists then sing live in large venues, such as the Belgrade Arena or Zetra Olympic Hall, Sarajevo, or in the television studio and the results are based on the public vote and the votes of the judges.

The winner of Zvezde Granda is awarded with a recording and managing contract with Grand Production and a prize in form of a car or an apartment.

Judges[]

The production jury, consisting of producers and creative directors, can send a contestant through to the next round even if they receive no votes from the judges.
