Format.
Auditions.
The first performances - auditions - take place on the stage of a theater throughout several programs, in which the participants show their talent in various disciplines, such as dance, singing, humor, acrobatics, among others. Each member of the jury decides if the participant deserves to continue with her demonstration; for this, he has a red button on the table that serves to stop the performance in case he doesn't want to continue listening or watching the show; if all four press the button, the performance is automatically stopped, at the same time that a red cross lights up and the contestant is eliminated.
Judges' decisions.
In the second stage, the participants who got three or four positive votes from the judges in the previous round are presented again to get to the semifinals. At this stage, the contestants receive the return after the performance, however, and unlike the auditions, the announcement of those who manage to move on to the next round of the show is given after a deliberation by the judges.
Production.
The idea to produce a Uruguayan adaptation of the international franchise, created by Simon Cowell emerged in March 2019. On July 30 of that year, it was confirmed that actress Natalia Oreiro would be the presenter of the program, being her first time to host a local television show. In the first days of August, the names of three of the members of the jury were revealed. They were the ballet dancer and former soloist of the "American Ballet Theater", María Noel Riccetto; radio host and producer Orlando Petinatti; and the presenter, actress Claudia Fernández. Finally, on September 1, the actor and singer, ex-vocalist of "Márama", Agustín Casanovaconfirmed his participation. 
From November to December 2019, the production team toured the 19 departments of the country to make the casts, as a whole, they called more than 10,000 people, becoming the version with the most aspirants. Filming of the auditions began in February 2020, which were held in important theaters in the country: Spanish Theater (Durazno), (Canelones), (Paysandú), Convention Center (Punta del Este) and (Montevideo).
The filming of the second stage began on August 12, 2020 at the Nelly Goitiño Auditorium in Montevideo, which did not have an audience because of the sanitary restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With the same restrictions, the semi-finals took place at that venue, while the final was held at the Antel Arena.
On September 14, the renewal for a second season was announced, scheduled for 2021. Season 2 premiered on April 12, 2021, and unlike the previous one, it was filmed only at the El Galpón Theater in Montevideo.
