All Together Now is an Australian reality television music competition on the Seven network presented by Julia Zemiro and Ronan Keating.[1] It is based on the British show of the same name, All Together Now.[2]

Format

In each episode, a range of singers take to the stage, but waiting to judge each performance is "The 100" – a panel of one hundred music experts and performers from across Australia, headed by former Boyzone lead singer, Ronan Keating.[3][4][5]

The heats

During each heat, performers try and outscore their competitors in order to earn a seat on the top two podium. Whenever a performer scores high enough for a podium place, the act in 2nd place is eliminated as a result.

From each heat, one acts go through to the series finale. Once all acts have sung, the acts in 1st and 2nd sing-off against one another and the winner of that sing off earns qualifying for the final spot.

Prior to filming, all performers choose the song they want to sing. The 100 learn the words to all the songs before the show, but they do not know who is going to come out and sing said songs to them. Each song is approximately 90 seconds long, but importantly the 100 can only join in for the final 60 seconds as signified by a lighting change. This means that the 100 have the same amount of time to join in the singing for every act.

Tie-breaks

In the event of a tied score, the 100 reviews the full performances of both acts on monitors in the studio. Each member of the 100 decides which act they prefer and votes by pressing their button. The act with the most votes takes their seat on the podium, meaning that the act with the fewer votes either drops down a podium place or exits the competition. In the event that the tiebreak vote is also tied, Ronan Keating, as captain of the 100 has the casting vote.

The sing-off

For the sing-off at the end of the show, scores are reset to zero and the 1st and 2nd placed acts perform a new song chosen from a given shortlist. In the event that both acts wish to sing the same song from that shortlist, the performer in 1st place has priority.

The final and the prize

In the final, the winners of each heat, along with one wild card perform again in front of The 100 with a new song. As with the heats, the top two acts sing again and the act with the highest score after this final sing-off wins the series and with it the $100,000 cash prize.[6]

The 100

The 100 are a range of music experts and performers from across Australia. They are cast to include a diverse mix of ages, backgrounds and a variety of music genres. Captain of The 100 is pop star Ronan Keating. Ronan's vote carries no extra weight. The only time his vote takes precedence is in the case of a tied vote in the Tie Break.
