Format
Based on the Israeli format called The Final Four, The Four is a singing competition that differs among similar talent competitions, in that there are no stage auditions. The artists, also known as the challengers, are held in the holding room before singing in front of a live studio audience and the judges. The panel of judges ultimately decides the best challengers that compete against "The Four". The members consist of vocalists of varying genres, and they must win challenges against new artists to keep their seat and remain as a member of "The Four". At the end of nine days, the last singer standing among "The Four" wins the competition.

There are two distinct rounds in The Four. In the performances round, new challengers must earn their seat by performing in front of a live studio audience, the panel of judges and "The Four". After the performance, the judges then vote and make a "Yes" or "No" decision, signifying the challenger's fate in the competition. If a challenger receives a "Yes", they advance to the next round of the competition. A "No", ending his or her time in the competition. Artists who advance to the challenge round can compete against a member of "The Four" for their seat, also decided by the panel. In a sing-off style battle, the challenger and "The Four" member sing against each other for their seat. After the challenge, panel then votes to decide which of the two should remain in the competition. The winner locks his or her seat for the rest of the night and cannot be challenged again until the next episode.
