With the summer slot, it will not compete with other singing competition shows, such as Fox&#8217;s <a title=\"American Idol IMDB\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0319931\/\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;American Idol&#8221;<\/a>\u00a0and NBC&#8217;s<a title=\"The Voice IMDB\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt1839337\/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1\" target=\"_blank\"> &#8220;The Voice&#8221;<\/a>, seeing as those occupy fall spots. This show differs from other singing competition shows because viewers vote for live performances during real time through an application.
