Yo Canto (TV series)
Yo Canto (Spanish for I Sing) is a Puerto Rican singing talent contest that started airing on 2011 on WKAQ-TV, the Telemundo outlet in Puerto Rico. It is produced by Soraya Sánchez, who previously produced the similar show Objetivo Fama, and Beatriz Oliveros. As opposed to Objetivo Fama, Yo Canto features singers from all ages, and contestants can participate as a group or duo.
The show features a group of aspiring singers who compete on a weekly talent show. During each show, contestants are evaluated by a panel judges, and are gradually eliminated until only one prevails. During the time of the show, contestants are "bunkered" in a studio/house where they will live together for several months. The show's first season began airing on February 5, 2011.
The show is hosted by Daniela Droz and Ektor. The winner of the competition was the Cuban duo FM5.
Auditions
Before the show season starts, auditions are held at several places in Puerto Rico and the United States to pick the finalists that will be featured in the show. These are evaluated by the show's producers. When the final contestants are selected, they are moved to Puerto Rico where the studio/house is located. Auditions were held in New York City, Miami, Florida, and Puerto Rico (Ponce, San Juan, and Mayagüez). On January 29, 2011, a show called Yo Canto: Las Audiciones aired on Telemundo as a preamble to the show.
