Sundays 7:00 p.m. QTV-11

Newest VHF channel QTV-11 opens its doors to many talented Filipino children as the station introduces the search for the newest singing sensation, Pop Star Kids.

Hosted by R&B Princess Kyla, Pop Star Kids caters to boys and girls aged 7-11 years old whose exceptional talent in singing can be their key to stardom as the show searches for its Ultimate Pop Star Kid.

Just like the young aspirants of Pop Star Kids, Kyla was once a kid who dreamt of becoming a famous singer someday. Today, Kyla is the country's R&B Princess whose flourishing career started when she joined and victoriously won singing competitions.

Pop Star Kids hopefuls must pass two stages of auditions facilitated by the audition master Danny Tan, who is also the show's musical director. Qualified aspirants get a slot in the competition to showcase their singing ability. The kids will perform songs that suit their age for them to easily carry out their piece with confidence and conviction.

Armed with their talent and charm, Pop Star Kids hopefuls must pass the standards of the judges: artist-talent manager Cacai Velasquez-Mitra, today's hottest acoustic singer Nyoy Volante and veteran singer-comedienne Nanette Inventor. The kids will be judged based on their voice quality and performance (40%) and star quality (60%).

Three contestants will battle it out on center stage every Sunday night for a chance to challenge the defending champion, who only qualifies for the grand finals after winning for four consecutive weeks. The defending Pop Star Kid weekly champion graduates from defending his/ her title after winning eight straight weeks. The winning weekly challenger and champion will get a chance to receive cash and gift certificates from SM Supermalls worth P8,000 and P20,000 respectively.
