). Then fourteen people (seven of each gender) are chosen to compete in front of the cameras. It is separated in two simultaneous formats: each day during the week, a show presents moments of the life and training in the common house of the ''Académiciens'' and each weekend sees one ''Gala'' show where the contenders sing. At each of these ''Galas'', some participants are put on the line and one is chosen to stay by the public and by the judging panel. It proved to be immensely popular, drawing not only viewership, but genuine affection from the public for the young idealistic contenders. Pride also arises for the regions where the participants are from, like pride was felt by many from the Acadian people when Wilfred Le Bouthillier, from Acadia, was chosen for the competition and later crowned winner of the first, 2003 edition. It has also proved to be an effective springboard for the singing careers of some of its past participants, like 2003 finalists Wilfred Le Bouthillier, who recorded with the help of renowned

''). A relatively small, but notable difference in the show format from its French counterpart is the selection process. Each week, the French version asks the public and judging panel to vote for which one, out of the contenders ''in danger'', should be excluded from the show. The results are announced live, on stage, to the excluded member and the viewers. While this formula was followed in the beginning for ''Star Académie'', it soon was changed because of protests, for the system was seen as cruel treatment to the excluded participant. On one early show, singer Daniel Boucher quit the studio halfway through the show because of this impression. Consequently, the public and judges are now asked to vote for the participant to ''remain'' at the ''Académie''. In all seasons, the results are announced live.

For example, each vote from the public costs one dollar, the website is in large part reserved to paying members and the Quebecor company, massive owner of many Quebec media, heavily promoted the show via TVA (its own television network), all of its magazines and newspapers like '' 7 Jours'' and '' Journal de Montréal''. Astral Media's '' RockDétente'' also did a lot of heavy promoting themselves during the 2005 edition, as the official stations of ''Star Académie''. Also were criticized the ''instant celebrity machine'' and supposed lack of artistic integrity aspects of the whole enterprise.
