Format
The program requires participants to demonstrate their skill in various disciplines such as singing, dancing, comedy, music and more. During the performance, three judges decide whether the contestant should stop performing by pressing a button that turns on a big red X. If three Xs appear, the participant is automatically removed without being able to finish his presentation.Every week, through a vote with SMS and phone calls, the public chooses participants. Competitors in second and third place are considered by the jury to reach the final of the competition and a chance to win the pageant.
In the end, the winner is chosen by the public. In the first edition, the prize was a hundred thousand pesos Argentina.
;The three Xs
The X is the indicator of whether the jury is pleased by the talent. The Xs are white when no judge pressed his button.
Majority of white Xs: Most jurors think that a participant should go to the next stage. When most Xs are white, the participant remains in the talent show.
Majority of red Xs: Most of the jurors are opposed to the participant remaining in the contest.
