La Fama
La Fama was a Mexican reality series set to find a new child star in 1999. It was mainly a singing competition, but it also provided dancing and acting lessons to the contestants.
Participants
Fourteen children (7 boys and 7 girls) aged 8–12 were chosen in a nationwide search to enter the new competition.
Judging
Contestants were scored every week on their performances, on a scale of 1–10.
Up For elimination
Each week, the 2 contestants that scored the least amount of points were put up for elimination. Each received a number for support from the public. The one who received the lowest number of votes was eliminated.
Stages
The 14 contestants started at the Beginner Stage. Once 5 people were eliminated the Intermediate Stage began. The Professional or Pro Stage began when the 4 finalists were revealed. The winner was known as the Graduate: the only one who passed all three stages.
Prize
The winner received a record deal and an acting contract for a telenovela.
