What is Pinoy Dream Academy?

Pinoy Dream Academy is another collaborative show of Endemol and ABS-CBN just like the Pinoy Big Brother and Deal or No Deal franchises. This show gives oppurtunities to star wannabees to reach stardom and maximize their star potentials.

Originally known as Star Academy, its emerging popularity brought about its franchises in various part of the world. Africa refers to it as Project Fame while in the US it’s touted as The One: Making a Music Star. Other countries who caught the Star Academy fever are the UK, Turkey, Spain, Russia, Romania, Portugal, the Netherlands, Middle East, Mexico, Italy, India, Greece, Germany, France, Chile, Canada, Bulgaria, Brazil, Belgium, and Argentina.

In spite of the various names that its been called in each country, the mechanics are basically the same, wherein the “academy” is being managed by a principal and teachers are there to teach the students various artistic disciplines. Day and night the students will be monitored by hidden cameras and there would be weekly live performances of the students where they will showcase the things they have learned and practiced in the past week. During the concert, a panel of jurors will choose the students who will be nominated for the week. The public then gets to vote for the student they want to remain at the academy.

Star Academy is actually the second biggest reality show franchise in the world - the top being Big Brother; and soon will invade the Philippines television.

Recent promotions on ABS-CBN reveal Sam Milby, Toni Gonzaga, and Nikki Gil as the hosts of the show which will starting in August.
