Ellada Eheis Talento
Ellada Eheis Talento was a Greek reality television series and is part of the Got Talent multinational franchise. It premiered in Greece for the first time on March 23, 2007 and ended after 4 seasons on June 25, 2012 on the ANT1. On October 1, 2017 the show came back with the fifth season and for the first time from Skai TV, ended after 2 seasons on December 16, 2018.
It has been one of the most successful Greek TV shows over the 2007-2012 period. It is a talent show that features singers,
dancers, magicians, comedians and other performers of all ages competing for the advertised prize of €100,000. From season 5 the advertised prize of €50,000. It did not only feature Greek people, but also ones from the Greek diaspora. Like the British format, the auditions take place in front of the judges and a live audience. At any time during the audition the judges may show disapproval to the act by pressing a buzzer which lights a red X near them. If all of the judges press their buzzers, the act ends immediately. To advance to the second round, participants need to get at least two positive votes or they would be sent home. From series 5, a new feature was added to the auditions, which had been previously used on Germany's Got Talent, called the "Golden Buzzer". Situated in the centre of the judge's desk, the Golden Buzzer allows a judge to effectively send a contestant into the live semi-finals, regardless of the opinions of the other judges, if they felt that a contestant's performance was outstanding; when pressed, the judge's X turns gold and the stage is showered in gold glitter strips. However, as a general rule, they may only press it once and cannot press it again in later auditions. The semi-final and final shows are broadcast live from Athens.
