success
In the spring of 2006, Shibuya was VIVA's most successful show in the target group of 14 to 49 year olds.
The third season started on March 28, 2007, for which the casting calls in the VIVA program had started in the spring.
procedure
Four candidates compete against each other in each edition.
In the first round, each of the four participants can sing a song of their own choosing. The jury, consisting of Joachim Germany , Lucy Diakovska and Lukas Hilbert in the second season broadcast since May 18, 2006 , rates the song on a scale from 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest number of points. Whoever has the lowest number of points at the end of the round must leave the stage.
The remaining three participants compete against each other in the next round, the “chopstick round”. Each participant pulls an Asian chopstick that has been assigned a title. Each participant must sing the selected title, which may be unknown to the candidate, with the help of the lyrics. The competitor with the lowest number of points is eliminated.
The last two participants compete against each other in the final, in the so-called "biscuit round" or "fortune biscuit round". First the finalist, who scored more points in the previous round, draws a fortune cookie with a piece of paper with a song inside. If necessary, he can pass on the drawn song. Then the second finalist pulls out a cookie to sing a song.
The winner of the competition will receive the “Shibuya Medal” and 1,000 euros and will again perform the winning song at the end of the program. He takes part again in the next program, the other three participants are replaced per program.
