Star Academy is a French reality television show produced by the Dutch company Endemol. It consists of a contest of young singers. It spawned an equally successful show in Quebec called Star Académie. It is broadcast on TF1. At the end of each season, selected contestants would go on tour around France, Morocco, Switzerland, Belgium, Tunisia, and other French-speaking countries.

Twelve celebrities are masked under spectacular costumes, with their identity hidden. They compete by singing their own versions of songs, and the judges and audience must guess who is behind each mask!
