The show
The show starts with the introduction of the person who is seeking his/her singer. Then, two friends of him/her introduce themselves and the chooser, afterwards they head to the "My Own" studio, where they meet the six challengers.
Then the trivia round starts. In this round the contestants have to answer trivia questions about the singer, followed by a mini singing and dancing round. After this round, the "chooser" chooses four contestants to pass to the next round.
In the second round, the contestants show their houses and talk a bit about their hobbies and tastes, followed by a competition that involves something that has to do with the celebrity in cause. Afterwards the chooser eliminates one contestant.
The final three contestants perform their favorite song of the artist in cause while dressed like in the music video.
The choreographer for the show was Chantal Robson.
