Overview

Regional contenders from Metro Manila, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao compete daily on a live performance and are scored by a panel of judges. The criteria for judging are as follows:

  • Tone Quality 40%
  • Voice Projection 30%
  • Stage Impact 20%
  • Intonation 10%
  • For Semi-Finals and Grand Finals Round, scores from text votes (50%) of madlang people (or audiences) and hurados' (or judges') score (50%) are combined to decide a winner.

    However, if the contender goes off tune or any similar error, the punong hurado (or head jury) will signal the gong-master with his hand to hit the gong three times, thereby stopping the performance and eliminating the contender.

    Daily winner can challenge the current defending champion and claim the golden microphone. A 5-times winning streak as a Defending Champion will advance as Semi-Finalist and can opt to continue up to 10-times and become part of the Hall of Fame. The longest winning streak achieved so far is 8 times. Among the semi-finalists, a Grand Champion will emerge in the Grand Finals.

    Losing contenders can always come back to compete again, known as Resbak. For Semi-Finalists, it is known as Ultimate Resbak.

    Controversies

    Rey Valera has often been criticized as a judge for his offensive comments to contestants either for their failed performance or for their physical appearance.

    Karla Estrada's qualification as judge has also been questioned by some viewers.

    Judges' scores and text votes results are also being questioned by many viewers either for lack of transparency, faulty system that fails to confirm their votes thru SMS, allegations of unfair judging or any similar claims that the show is rigged.

    Nora Aunor, an original Tawag ng Tanghalan Grand Champion in 1968, was supposed to be the special judge in the Grand Finals held at Resorts World Manila but cancelled due to conflict with Vice Ganda, one of the main hosts of the show.
