SINGAPORE: Popular reality show Singapore Idol is back for a third season and it is promising to be bigger and better than the previous shows.
Thousands had queued up for auditions in the competition, hoping to be the next big thing. But success won't come easy as this year's show is said to be the biggest and toughest season of Singapore Idol.
Rahmat A Samat, executive producer, Singapore Idol, said: "Definitely a lot more musical group of people, a lot more varied in terms of style. There is a stage in the competition where they are allowed to showcase more of themselves."
While the men have dominated the last two seasons of the show, producers said women are proving to be tough competitors this time round.
This year will also see a greater variety in musical styles from rock to folk and even hip hop.
"In terms of contestants, you don't know what to expect... even format wise, there will be surprises along the way which I can't reveal," said Mr Rahmat.
The first episode of Singapore Idol will air this Sunday on MediaCorp's Channel 5 at 8.30pm, with subsequent episodes airing on Wednesdays at 8pm.
