Idol Philippines
Idol Philippines (known as Search for the Idol Philippines in the first season or better known as Philippine Idol) is a Philippine television interactive reality competition show broadcast by ABS-CBN and Kapamilya Channel. Created and developed by FremantleMedia and 19 Entertainment, the program is a franchise of Pop Idol created by British entertainment executive Simon Fuller, the show is the third and final incarnation of Philippine Idol. Originally hosted by Billy Crawford and originally judges by Regine Velasquez, Vice Ganda, James Reid and Moira Dela Torre, it aired on the network's Yes Weekend line up from April 21, 2019 to September 18, 2022, replacing World of Dance Philippines and was replaced by Everybody, Sing!. Robi Domingo serves as the latest host and Velasquez, Dela Torre, Gary Valenciano and Chito Miranda serve as the latest judges.
The Idol franchise first made its appearance on Philippine television in 2006 in the form of Philippine Idol on ABC 5. Early reviews of the show implied a positive run for the show. The pilot drew in overwhelming ratings and good reviews from entertainment critics from its "promising" start. Despite this, the show incurred losses from lower than expected advertising revenue, culminating in the cancellation of an expected second season.
The franchise then moved to GMA Network, in which it was branded as Pinoy Idol. Although critics expected that the lapses that occurred in Philippine Idol would be remedied in Pinoy Idol, once the show went on air, these expectations would be dampened following its premiere. The show would ultimately fail to be renewed for a second season, being replaced by an original singing competition, Are You the Next Big Star?.
On October 17, 2018, it was announced that ABS-CBN will broadcast the third iteration of the Idol franchise in the Philippines after it had sealed a franchise deal with Fremantle and 19 Entertainment, the co-owners of the format. At the finale of the first season, host Billy Crawford confirmed the production of a future season of the show.
The fate of the show was left uncertain on May 5, 2020, when the National Telecommunications Commission issued a cease and desist order on ABS-CBN, effectively ceasing free-to-air broadcasting operations on the network. Its aftermath, including the denial of the franchise and layoffs saw the transfer of its host, Billy Crawford and its director, Bobet Vidanes to blocktimer shows.
Production on the second season was then confirmed on April 25, 2022. The second season would be jointly produced by ABS-CBN Entertainment and Brightlight Productions and is set to air on Kapamilya Channel, A2Z and TV5, marking the third iteration's first broadcast outside ABS-CBN. The second season premiered on June 25 and 26, 2022.
In October 2018, Regine Velasquez was revealed to be the first judge after signing her exclusive contract with ABS-CBN. This was her first stint as a judge in a televised singing competition. Following this announcement, there were rumors that Jessica Sanchez, the runner-up of the eleventh season of American Idol, will be added as a judge but it has been denied by her. Speculations also circulated that David Archuleta, the runner-up of the seventh season of American Idol, was also considered to become a judge for the show, but the rumors were downplayed by him saying that he was not invited by the network's management.
On February 26, 2019, Philippine Entertainment Portal unofficially revealed that James Reid, Vice Ganda and Moira Dela Torre will join Velasquez as the show's judging panel. According to the website, a reliable source sent them a photo of the four judges standing behind a judges' table similar to those of the other Idol franchises. The three remaining judges' were later confirmed on the same day, after they were officially introduced on TV Patrol, ABS-CBN's primetime newscast. Among the four judges, Vice Ganda is an experienced judge—having been a judge for It's Showtime besides being a host, Pinoy Boyband Superstar, and two seasons of Pilipinas Got Talent. It was revealed in an interview that Vice Ganda was the only judge handpicked by Fremantle.
