About the show 3 Minutes of Fame

The show offers a unique opportunity to people with beautiful voices who never dared or aspired to step onto the stage. Supported by friends and family, these hidden talents get a once-in-a-lifetime chance to perform on a big stage in front of a live audience. Each episode introduces five unsuspecting talents, nominated by their loved ones through secretly recorded videos. Each contestant is surprised by a famous singer who becomes their coach. The coaches provide both musical and mental support to their protégés and give it their all to prepare them for the ultimate performance. In a very short time, the entire process – from fitting clothes and a full make-over to vocal coaching and band rehearsals – takes place. On the big night, the contestants perform in front of their friends, family, coaches, and a huge audience. There’s no competition – just the unforgettable experience of stepping into the spotlight and living a long-held dream.

This heartwarming journey celebrates personal stories, courage, and growth. From soldier to stage star, or from caregiver to phenomenal entertainer: we witness the most incredible transformations. In 3 Minutes of Fame, ordinary people become extraordinary performers, if only for one night, in a feel-good show that reminds us that talent is everywhere, waiting for its moment to shine.
