Pinoy Pop Superstar is a year-long talent search that will encourage local aspirants to become one of the ultimate singing sensations of the Philippines. It begins with a massive audition period. And then, for 40 weeks, 3 contestants will compete in the studio before a panel of judges. The winner of each week challenges the defending champion of the week before. A winner able to defend his/her title for four consecutive weeks automatically qualifies for the grand finals. At the end of 40 weeks, a Pinoy Pop Superstar is crowned… and a new singing sensation is launched into the country’s music scene. Now on its third season, Pinoy Pop Superstar promises an even more exciting search for the next Jonalyn Viray and the next Gerald Santos.
