Myanmar Idol (season 4)


The fourth season of Myanmar Idol premiered on September 6, 2019 and continued until December 28, 2019. It was won by Esther Dawt Chin Sung. The fourth season was co-hosted by Kyaw Htet Aung, the latter of whom left the show after the season ended.

Regional auditions

Auditions were held in Taungoo, Hpa-an, Taunggyi, Yangon, and Mandalay from June to July 2019, and around 10,000 attended the auditions.

Structure of auditions

There are usually two stages in the audition process. The first round is casting round and they sing in front the executive producers and more are eliminated. In the second round those who survive the first stage sing in front of the judges and this is the audition shown on television. Those who gain at least two "yes" votes from the three judges then receive a golden ticket to Golden Week.

Golden Week

It featured three rounds: Round 1, Group Round, and Solo Round. In the first round, each contestant sang individually, and after they sang, they gathered in a line. Those who impressed the judges advanced to the next round where the contestants performed in groups of four or five, singing a song together. The remaining auditionees who passed the group rounds performed their final solos to advance in the Green Mile.
