This is the second season of The Next Star! and the Theme of this Season is The Next Indie Star! The Judges in this Season are Aili James, Kimberly and Michael as their role is to find the Winner of the next Indie Star! Kimberly was absent during Heat 2 & 3 therefore Ryan took her place and she returned in the Quarter-final with Ryan sticking as a Judge. For the Final Chris was a guest judge. Here they would score Acts out of 10 and 20 Acts applied and they will being it down to only 1 who will be crowned the Winner!
The Next Country Star![]
The selection process consisted of 6 shows – three qualifying rounds that were leading up to a quarter-final then the semi-final and then the final. All the acts taking part were country singers performing country songs.
A total of 20 acts took part in the preliminary shows on 14 and 15 January, each containing 10 acts. These ten acts performed indie songs, with four acts from each show qualifying to the elimination shows. 2 wildcards one from each group were chosen by Aili James to take part in the elimination shows. In January, these ten acts were eliminated to eight: two acts eliminated in the first heat. The qualifying acts progressed to the quarter-final, six advanced to the semi-final and only four acts will advance to the final.
In the final, the four finalists performed a total of two songs: each artist performed a new performance and also a song of the season to help determine who the winner will be and ultimately be The Next Country Star!
If there are any ties in the scores then head judge Aili James will decide the placement.
