Star Search Croatia (Croatian: Hrvatska traži zvijezdu, abbreviated as HTZ) was a Croatian singing reality competition television series that served as the second Croatian version of Pop Idol. It ran on RTL Televizija for three seasons from 2009 to 2011.
In an elimination-style format, the series employs a panel of judges who look for a parson with the best singing talent. Contestants selected during auditions progress onto live shows, where the winner is decided by televote. The first season was won by Bojan Jambrošić, followed by Kim Verson and Goran Kos winning the second and the third seasons, respectively.
In 2023, RTL rebooted the series under the title Superstar.
Format
[edit]The series consist of auditions and live shows. Antonija Blaće, known for participating and hosting the Croatian edition of Big Brother, is the host of the competition, which makes her the first person to host both local versions of these franchises.[1] Due to hosting Big Brother in Spring 2011, she was replaced with Ivan Šarić.
Judges
[edit]In the first season, the competitors were judged by Croatian musicians Tony Cetinski, Jelena Radan and Goran Lisica-Fox. Due to private commitments, Radan left in the beginning of the second season and was replaced by Anđa Marić,[2] who left after the second season and was replaced with Ivana Mišerić in the third season.[3]
