Round 1 : Selections
In this round, contestants first danced inside individual 'lifts' on stage in groups of 3. Only those who did not get 2 or more 'red arrows' by the mentors get the chance to exit the lift and sing a song of their choice. Contestants who managed to get all 3 'green arrows' from the mentors after singing will then successfully join the team.
Once all 7 seats in the group have been filled, further contestants who get 3 'green arrows' will have to replace an existing contestant, either by the mentors' decision or by audience voting if the mentors cannot reach a unanimous decision.
Throughout the show, each mentor has one single chance to use a 'golden button' to retain any contestant within the team.
