Then they must run it past the music producer who ensures it is the best quality ahead of the live performance. There are different themes to mix each week, such as hip-hop, rock or ethnic music. In other weeks, the pairs' musical talent might be stretched by having to compose and remix their own original composition, or even a jam with their mentors! Every week brings a new challenge or surprise.
The four celebrity judges are big names in the music business and their votes count for 50%. The public vote by SMS and their vote counts for 50%. The pairs must be versatile, talented and charismatic, and the best performer in every episode will also be selected for a special prize.
