Top Star. ¿Cuánto vale tu voz? ("Top Star. How much is your voice worth?") is a Spanish singing reality competition series created and produced jointly by Fremantle and Mediaset España. It premiered on Mediaset's flagship channel Telecinco on May 7, 2021.

Due to poor ratings, the show was pulled from its original Friday night time slot after two episodes, and later rescheduled for Saturdays starting May 29.

Premise

Each episode features performances by a total of nine contestants split into three categories. For each category, the mentors have €30,000 to bid for the contestants during or after their performances. If none of the mentors places a bid for them, the contestant is immediately eliminated. Otherwise, the highest bidder backs the contestant, who then will face the scrutiny of "The 50", the members of the studio audience. The contestant who receives the most favorable votes from "The 50" advances to the final round later in the night, where "The 50" vote again to determine the weekly winner who will advance to the finale and win the money their backer bid for them.

Host and mentors

The show is hosted in its first season by Jesús Vázquez, with Danna Paola, Isabel Pantoja and Risto Mejide serving as the mentors who bid for the contestants.
