The event will kick off with each participant performing individually, evaluated by a panel of three judges. Performances will be scored across five key categories: Vocals, Stage Presence, Audience Reaction, Beat/Instrumental, and Song Lyrics, with each category rated on a scale of 1 to 5.

Following the initial round, artists will be randomly paired for a Top 16 head-to-head battle. In this stage, audience reaction will determine who progresses to the next round, continuing through knockout rounds until only two finalists remain.

If the crowd’s response is equally enthusiastic for both finalists, a live TikTok poll will be conducted during each finalist’s performance. This live poll will run in real-time as a potential fallback in case of a tie. Should the poll also end in a draw, the judges will cast a majority vote to determine the winner.
