Hosted by Yael Goldman alongside judges including Keren Peles, Harel Skaat, Assi Azar, and Rotem Sela, the show ran for multiple seasons, with its last season airing in 2022.

The series had a diverse panel of judges, including Tzvika Hadar, Eyal Golan, Harel Skaat, Keren Peles, Assaf Amdursky, Rani Rahav, Asaf Atedgi, and Ben-El Tavori. The show’s runtime was approximately 90 minutes per episode. It was a popular platform for discovering new singing talent in Israel, with its unique interactive format engaging viewers across multiple seasons.
