URAPS Idol

For the current season, see Urapopstar Idol 13.

URAPS Idol (also known as Urapopstar Idol) is a televised singing competition. Its goal is to discover the best young undiscovered recording artist, beginning through a series of worldwide auditions before the field is narrowed down to 12. From then on, the final 12 perform for the judges during a series of live shows, until one Idol is left standing.

Its winners, in order by season (from season five onwards), are Timmy Henderson, Sasha Riley, Olivia Dimuzio, Sleazy Sisters, Poppy, Troy Rivers and Genevere Johnson. There was no winner in the incomplete first and third series, and the second series did not even start. Other noteworthy alumni include Pepper Bridges, Melissa Moore, Riley Hart, Cleo Clarice, Josie Matthews, AJ Hutton, Nate Brown, Alfie Outcast, Tika Yuki, Nara Venom, Gabriel Dresden, Mark Charlie Wilson, Cassie Diamond, Veronica Nightshade, Iris, Arianna DiCorso and James Frost. A spin-off entitled URAPS Idol: Second Chance occurred in 2010, consisting of former celebrities and failed stars. Sienna Martinez was named the victor, ahead of former Innocent member Elizabeth. The original series returned in February 2011.

The show is currently on its thirteenth series.
