Format

The series consists of three phases:

The Judges Auditions
Theater Round 1
Theater Round 2
Green Miles
Live Show

The Judges Auditions

All the contestants sing in front of the four judges and let the judges decide whether they can go to the next round or not. If they receive three or four "YES" from the judges, they can go to the next round. If they receive two, one, or no "YES", they cannot go through the next round. The winners of this round will receive a golden envelope which is to show that they are able to go to the next round.

Theater Round 1

In this round, all the contestants find their own group in four or five and pick their song to sing in front of the judges. The judges then will decide who can go through the next round.

Theater Round 2

The contestants are picked to sing a song in pair by the judges. The judges will decide who can go to the Green Miles.

Green Miles

More contestants have to be eliminated in this round. Contestants pick their song to sing and need to perform well in order to proceed to the Live Show. Only 12 contestants may continue onto the Live Show.

Live Show

Contestants have to perform live on stage with the presence of an audience. Live voting occurs each round, so as to decide who will be eliminated in that particular round. After weeks of elimination, the winner of Cambodian Idol will be chosen.

Judges

All of the four judges are pop singers in Cambodia. They are Preap Sovath, Chhorn Sovannareach, Aok Sokunkanha, and Nop Bayyareth.

Hosts

The first season of Cambodian Idol was presented by Chea Vibol who has worked for many years as a presenter on television shows. Chan Keonimol is a great presenter and has worked on many programs as a presenter.
