Rising Star is an American reality television singing competition which began airing on ABC on June 22, 2014. It was based on the international franchise series Rising Star itself based on the Israeli singing competition HaKokhav HaBa (meaning "The Next Star") made by Keshet Broadcasting Ltd. The program format lets viewers vote for contestants via mobile apps. It was filmed live in Los Angeles.[1] The show was also carried in Canada, with advertising simultaneous substitution and voting access on CTV.[2]
Jesse Kinch was the winner of Rising Star's only season with a vote of 76%. Macy Kate held the record of the highest score with 93%; she would eventually finish in ninth place. Daniel & Olivia held the record of the lowest score with 6%, and eventually finished in last place (both Macy Kate and Daniel & Olivia were in the first episode). Rising Star aired its final episode on August 24, 2014, and was cancelled shortly afterwards due to low ratings.
