Arabs Got Talent

Producers' auditions Contestants are initially chosen at non-televised auditions in the capitals of participating Arab country, such as Doha in Qatar. Judges' auditions Chosen contestants proceed to perform in front of the celebrity judges. It is by the judges' votes that they enter the next round. Judges may terminate a contestant's performance by buzzing in, signifying an X. However, buzzes from all judges are required to stop the performance. These auditions are televised weekly on Saturdays on MBC1. Live shows The semi-finals and final are broadcast live. They feature performances by the contestants, usually on a grander scale. Judges can still stop a performance if all three buzz in, three times. In the semi-final, the winners are chosen by the viewers' voting (by means of texting), though only the most-voted-for contestant proceeds to the final, the second and third placed proceed via a vote by the judges. In the final, fourteen contestants remain and, after each contestant finishes their performance, the winner is chosen by the viewers' voting. == Seasons overview ==
